Ohio State - 10

[Patrick McIrish]

Forum record 0-0. Nice to start out with an easy winner.

Ohio State -10 over Purdue

Like taking candy fom a baby. The Buckeye's won by 8 in Purdue, add another 10 to that at home. Look for a 78-60 type of ballgame.

Since I won't be back tonight hope nobody cares if I go ahead and update my record now. Forum record 1-0.

Nice forum here. Didn't even know it existed until today.

SUNDAY'S PICK!!!!!!

SUNDAY'S PICK!!!!!!

Nice to win a close one. Now it's official, 1-0. Something makes a win a little sweeter when you win by just a 1/2 point.

On to Sunday:

St Johns +23 over Duke

Too many points. Look for the classic "back-door" cover here.

 

[MadJack]

nice start and welcome aboard!!

 

[boilermaker]

Patrick , nice pick yesterday. If my Boilers couldn't win straight up I'm glad a fellow Madjacker got a win. Besides keeps Ohio State in the Big 10 title hunt against the hated Hoosiers. Good Luck

 

[Patrick McIrish]

Appreciate the weclomes....

Appreciate the weclomes....

Luckily for me I teased St Johns up to +43. Just kidding.

College for the week 1-1
Total 1-1

(Week starts on Saturday for me)

Monday - Connecticut +1.5 over BC

I can always count on Connecticut to beat up on their favorite whipping boy when I need a win. They have just dominated them, winning at least 9 of last 10 games. Didn't go back any further as my mind was made up long before that.

Good luck all.

 

[SmashMouth]

Just what I like to see... A new member that adds a little ****iness to the forum.
Welcome aboard and good luck. That Uconn pick looks sweet, except for the fact that is a big time loser. I'm on Bc and big.. That's ok though at least you're Irish. Don't worry 1-2 isn't that bad of a start .

 

[Patrick McIrish]

LOL....

LOL....

Don't feel bad Smashmouth, you seem like a nice lad. Most places I leave there are quite a few red hineys when I leave.

Connecticut 75 BC - 61

Easy game. They beat BC more than they do a red-headed step child. Wish I could have saved you some money Smash. I'll be back to post tomorrow's picks in a few hours. Might be worthwhile to see what I am on before you take your guess.

A nice 2-0 day for the Irishman, hit my NBA pick again as always. Err..., I mean I got "lucky" again.

Patrick I am gonna start watching your stuff and maybe I will be wearing a little more GREEN ! Nice job!

TUESDAY'S PICK

TUESDAY'S PICK

Geno - "wear more green"? LOL. Nice to hear from you.

Tenn State +10 over Morehead State


Lots of value here my friends. Tenn State knows how to score they just have trouble stopping anyone. While Morehead is decent with the rock as well, they have actually been outscored by Tenn State lately. I have no illusion who will win but this should come within the number easily. I see around a 5 or 6 point game here.

Good luck all who wager.

 

[Patrick McIrish]

Adding one......

Adding one......

Normally I will stick to one game a night, the one I like the best. Can't resist this one though.

Pittsburgh +2.5 over Seton Hall

Can't believe I got this game at that price. I think the line should be reversed as to who the favorite is. The line will change but if you can get Pitt on anything up to a PK I would still play the game.

Good luck folks.

 

[mcity]

where do you see or should say, where do you get your lines? Pitt +2 1/2? Pitt is the favorite in this game...minus 2 1/2...and I'd be very careful playing Pitt tonight....that line looks a little strange to me....looks a little too easy. anyway...good luck.

 

[payday]

I agree with mcity. I would also be carefull with the Pitt game. You have a ranked team playing a home dog at a small points difference. Past games show the home dogs do very well. Just something to think about

 

[Patrick McIrish]

Yes!

Yes!

2-0 night, also 1-0 in the NBA.

Pittsburgh 73
Seton Hall 66

Morehead State 91
Tenn State 81

Whew! Thanks guys for warning me of Pittsburgh. You were right and I am not being facetious. To be honest I was very fortunate on both plays. Pitt is losing by 3 with 11 seconds and has to hit a 3 to take it to OT to have a chance. They do just that. The 2nd game I win by 1 point. If I don't wait up for the lines every night I lose this one as well as I see it went down to 7.5 points in most places. We have all had them work against us, I got lucky tonight. Won't even try and say otherwise. Thankfully the $$$$ still count though.

Wednesday's play

I don't advise anyone but folks wanting to make money to play this one. Seriously. If you prefer to lose DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME!!!!!

Maryland -11 over FSU

After calling WWTS to make sure the line wasn't 111, but only 11 I immediately placed my wager. Maryland may well win it all this year. Tell me a better front court. The issue here is can FSU stay close since they are playing at home? They have played better there and people may have forgot but they beat Duke at home earlier this year. Still, this FSU team is atrocious. Even lowly North Carolina beat them and covered last week. Matter of fact just about everyone has. The Seminoles are 2-8 in their last 10 games straight up and WORSE against the spread. Yep, they are 1-9 ATS their last 10 games. Yes they have beaten Duke at home but they have also lost to perenial powerhouse American University too. LOL. What does all this mean, probably nothing. But I've come to gamble.

Give me the Terps and I won't even watch this one. Maryland 97-51. 'Nuff said.

 

[theGibber1]

you are very sure of yourself.

but i have to agree with you on this im takeing maryland also


good luck to us

 

[Patrick McIrish]

Gibber...

Gibber...

I don't mean to sound sure of myself but I am to some degree, I have to be. I try to be humble but confident. I know things can turn at any time. I'm not here to develop a following per se, I am here to help others but mostly for me to win. These forums have helped me immensely when I get cold. When I am hot which I have been lately I may sound ****y but I am never under the belief that I have it all figured out. I just hope to help others so I won't feel bad when I go cold and start to piggyback other cappers. Once I go cold (which I will) than I do more reading than posting.

Hope that clears it up.

 

[Patrick McIrish]

YEAH BABY!!!!!!

YEAH BABY!!!!!!



Maryland 96
FSU 63

I predicted Maryland 97-51. Not bad, not bad at all. Another 2-0 night overall, one winner here and another one in the NBA thread.

College hoops for the week 5-1

I'll be back in a few hours with tomorrows play. Good luck to everyone else!

THURSDAYS PICKS....

THURSDAYS PICKS....

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. When I lose it's not from lack of effort. I have had a tough time tonight capping both the NBA and college. I like 3 or 4 games but none huge. Probably should pass on the day but I'm not smart enough to do that. Anyway...

Duke -12 over Virginia

I hate this play. What if Duke is unmotivated? What if they are comfortable where they are now? Lots of ????'s. Anyway I can't help it, I am taking Duke. They do own Virginia. They have beat them 9 of their last 10 plays, though they haven't covered their last two outings against the Cavs. It's the due theory. They are due to cover. For what it's worth, Virginia has been awful of late. They have gone 2-7 in their last 9 games and 1-8 ATS in those same games. Their last 8 games they have failed to cover the number. They even lost to Florida State last week, an atrocious team themselves. Oh well, I don't like this play and am already kicking myself for having called it in!!

Good luck everyone.
