Let?s go 2-0 today guys. These two look very good. Had two CBK picks yesterday, going with two NBA picks today. Nothing worth betting in CBK, primarily IVY league games.

Day 24:
NBA: Atlanta -7
NBA: Houston +5
*Guys there has been some drama at another forum as you may know, and do partially to that drama I have started a forum of my own. My plays are still free, and this website will have an authentic domain name within 48 hours but for now on you can see my picks for free at: NO LINKS. Sorry if i can't post links in here mods. Thanks*
**Play Atlanta all the way to -10, and Houston all the way to +3/+3.5**

After day 23:
NBA Record: 15-7 (68%)
CBK Record: 19-5 (79%)
Overall Record: 34-12 (74%)

Days [1-5]: 9-1 (90%)
Days [6-10]: 7-3 (70%)
Days [11-15]: 9-1 (90%)
Days [16-20]: 7-3 (70%)
Days [21-25]: 2-4 (33%)

Atlanta Hawks -7

First my line: Atlanta -11
Chicago are on the road for their second game of a two game road trip. They are 9-16 on the road, and 12-13 A.T.S (against the spread) in those games. I had a wager on them in their last game, where it took overtime for an Iverson-less Philadelphia 76?ers to defeat them by 3 points. This was their second straight loss, though this two game losing streak was coming off a five game road winning streak .. Immediately cementing the notion that Chicago is a contender in this league. They are 6-4 in their past 10 games, and a big reason for this spark is rookie center Joakim Noah. In these 10 games Noah averaged over 10 points per game, to go along with over 11 rebounds per game and a total of 14 blocks. In college, on the Florida Gators, Noah was known for his abilities, determination and drive, but more notably his spirit and the emotional boost he brings to his team just being on the court. Noah is a clear example of someone who loves the game, like Peyton Manning in football, and for a young team like the bulls they need a team leader like Noah on the court to guide them. Noah went down with an ankle injury and the Bulls let the game slip away. He will be out for tonight?s game which is a big hit to this team, who typically struggles on the road and could look forward to their next game which is tomorrow at home vs. Miami. Chicago is ranked 25% in scoring offence (out of 30 teams) this season, and can sometimes struggle to get their game together and it appears as though they didn?t show up at all .. This is one of those nights. Chicago is also 6-10 against top tier (top 10) teams in the league, which Atlanta is apart of.

Miami and Atlanta both play in the Eastern conference. Versus teams in the eastern conference (not including their own division) Chicago is 7-10 (41%) and Atlanta is 13-6 (68%). This line opened -7 which is where it is currently at but could move up to -7.5/-8. I would take any of those lines, but -7 clearly has the best value. Atlanta wins by double digits.

Atlanta is 20-5 at home this season with the fifth best home advantage of over five points. Atlanta is 6-4 in their past 10 games, with 5 of those games being at home where they went 4-1. Those six games that they did win, they won by an average of 8 points per game .. they do not have problems building on large leads like some teams do, whom let-up the pressure when they have a double digit lead. Atlanta is also a young team and always feel like they need to prove something. They also only have one more home game after this before the week off (11th to 17th). Revenge? If Atlanta remembers back to December 19th, they?ll remember losing in overtime on the road at Chicago by 3 points. Motivation: with only four games left before the week break, Atlanta will look to cement their position in the playoff race. Coach will have it instilled in his players to give it all they have, and play with playoff intensity against a team in Chicago who currently has the 7th playoff position. At home this season, Atlanta has defeat opponents on average by 10 points per game. Like I mentioned Chicago is 6-10 against teams in the top 10 of the league (38%). Atlanta vs. teams in the bottom half of the league, which Chicago is in, their record is 15-4 (79%). In fact, against teams top in the top 10 they are 23-8 (74%). This added with their home records, and their average score, added with Bulls injury and Atlanta?s motivation to play well .. This is really shaping up to look a very talented team to beat up on a good team in a bad situation. Atlanta has been at home 3 days now, are well rested, their minds are sharp and they are ready to put on a show.

My prediction: Atlanta dominates the majority of the game. Chicago does have a few game changing players but I look for them to be quieted by Atlanta?s group of superstars each time they make noise. Atlanta should dominate the majority of this game, going strong in the end of the 2nd quarter is important. The end result: Atlanta by 11 to 17.


Houston Rockets +5
My Line: Memphis -3

Houston heads on the road to play not only a conference match up but also a divisional match up, at Memphis. Houston is currently 5-4 in divisional play while Memphis is only 2-5, on the season. Houston is 11-13 on the road this season, straight up, with only one road game in their last ten games .. with them winning. This lack of road games, has them very well rested for what is only a 1 game road trip before returning home again tomorrow. They have, like Memphis, had two days off to prepare for this game. This is a big game for both teams as they are both two games back from 2nd place in their division and 6th spot in the playoffs. Currently they are both just out of the playoff picture. Houston won their last game three nights ago, beating lowly Golden State by 22 points. Their previous four games were more difficult, heated contest and Houston held their own. Although losing three of the four games, they were only defeated by more then five points once (against Atlanta five games ago, by 7 points) and with one of those losses needing overtime, vs. Phoenix. With only two wins in their last five games, Houston is being undervalued in this game. Houston plays good, hard working basketball both at home and on the road and they are able to win every game they play, on any given night. They are only 1.5 points worse on the road then at home and that tells you a lot about a team. Since their two stars in Yao and McGrady were injured months ago, players on their team have really taken it as their job to step up and contribute. They would definitely like a strong run into the break, and will not go down without a fight against Memphis. Houston has the 9th best offence in the league and they will be able to score enough on Memphis?s 23rd ranked defence to keep this game very close.

Memphis on the other hand is not a bad team either, going 18-6 at home, 6-4 in their last 10 overall games and are coming off a loss at Cleveland by 16. Before this game they hung on to beat the LA Lakers, who were on the end of a long eight game road trip and losing in overtime to an injury riddled New Orleans Hornets. I do feel Memphis is a strong team to upset somebody in the playoffs, similar to Houston they fight to win every game but I don?t feel they have a chance of winning by three possessions or more (6+ points). Memphis will play Houston tonight and then go on the road to play Minnesota tomorrow for their fourth game in six nights.

Houston has an overall 26-22 record, with either the hardest or second hardest schedule of any team in the league to date, with Memphis having an overall 26-22 record also and having about the 10th most difficult schedule.


My prediction: The point is that Memphis is too big of a favourite in this game, -3.5 would have been a more sensible line. Houston and Chicago have very similar teams and play very similar games and I personally feel that the line is overvaluing Memphis?s win against the Lakers two games ago, which I had a winning pick on Memphis with. Both teams will be fighting hard for this game but I feel that Houston is the more rested team and could be able to squeak out a straight up win in what should be a very close game. Five points is way too much and Houston is the play.

BOL to everybody tonight.
Let?s go 2-0.

F*ck the haters!

It's pretty simple for me!

It's pretty simple for me!

:director: I have many avenues for stats, trends, streaks, and so on. I only hit a few threads when people are on or against games i am on and occassionally looking for some info i may not know about or heard of. I could care less what anybody does, as long as they are constructive with the games or the cappers. I think i speak for most of the long time cappers on here when i say we are all looking for an edge, or a game or insight which helps us win money. In the last few weeks, this guy has been hot and i admit i researched some of his picks and teased to picks i had and have done well with 6-8 picks i would have not made money on the past couple weeks. I did cash big on houston tonight in both halfs. I would'nt have bet the game until i read his material and did my own capping. If you like it or not it does'nt matter. It's one guys opinion. It's all good. Don't have to judge a persons character on this site if you don't want to. But don't knock a man down by sharing his insite when we all know the time it takes to study and find a few good games. Let alone post the written material to everyone on here. Let the man work in peace and if he sell's the picks and people buy, wish him luck! I have and am on both sides of the fence with this issue as i have people that are paying custumers. We should'nt ever put a man down on here because he shares info. We all have the right to read it or not. Jack thanks for kicking Dime off the site. You have been doing a much better job with people who not only don't have anything to add to this site, but finds ways to try to put cappers down who do. I'n that i am giving you my biggest bet for the super bowl, which is the under first half.Good luck and Pitt you continue to do what you want and ignor the people who always find a way to rip on people who are trying to share info.

NBA:
New Jersey/Detroit under 188

My prediction: 174 points

This is the first total I have posted, and first total I have liked enough to post.This is the best bet on the board in the NBA today, in my opinion.

New Jersey, as we all know, packed it in a long time ago. It seemed after their assistant coach retired a few days ago that there was a spark in the team and they contested both Toronto and Boston on the road, but fell short losing both games by 9 points (they did cover both double digit spreads, however). New Jersey played @ Boston last night, @ Toronto three nights ago, and at home to against this same Detroit team four nights ago when they lost by four points, taking only 73 shots in the entire game. This will be their FOURTH GAME IN FIVE NIGHTS, and when you add that to the coaching stress brewing from a few nights ago, this is a very tired, weak and undetermined basketball team.

When these teams played earlier in the week, and before this tough road period, 190 points were scored (97-93 Detroit). If both these teams were to score 94 points, there would be 188 points scored (this is just for purpose of the point I am about to make). New Jersey has scored more then 94 points in only three of their past 10 games. They currently have the 30th ranked offense, which is dead last in the league, and are averaging only 90 points per game on the road.. Suprisingly on defense they have not allowed an opposing teams to score 40+ fg's in a game in their past six games, while that was habbit before this period. They appear to have stepped up their defensive game quite a bit in the past few weeks. 7 of their past 10 games have also gone under the posted total.


Detroit
Like I said New Jersey has the 30th, and worst, ranked offense .. who has the 29th ranked offense ????? Detroit. Detroit is averaging only 91.4 points per game on the season, and only 90.8 points per game at home. Even worse they have only scored over 94 points in one of their past ten games, with that game being when they scored the 97 vs. New Jersey four nights ago. While New Jersey is a very tired team, Detroit is the exact opposite and overly rested team. Prior to last nights game they had only played three games in eight nights, and four games in twelve nights. That lack of game time showed and they lost by 24 points (107-83 at Indiana). Their legs will be a little bit fresher tonight, but I still expect them to struggle maintaining a good shooting percentage throughout the entire game. Defensively, Detroit can hold their own and are ranked 9th in the league in this category. They have only allowed opponents to score 40+ FG's once in their past 10 games, and that was last night .. so I expect them to come out ready to right that ship. A team known for it's defensive strength who don't want to get outdone by also struggling New Jersey, after being outdone by struggling Indiana.


The under is 29-17 in New Jersey games and 15-9 (63%) on the road.
The under is 22-24 in Detroit games, but 14-10 (58%) at home.


Prediction: New Jersey and Detroit average only 42% and 43% from the field, and taking in account the situations prior to this game for both teams I expect a hard defensive game. New Jersey's shots will be sloppy, due to fatigue and I think Detroit's offensive players will try and get too much done in a game they should hold on to win. This may be a tight game, or this may be a 15 point Detroit win but either way I don't see these two teams averaging 190 points. I expect a 88-86 game, or 94-79 score game. Very low.


CBK: Washington Huskies -3.5
My line: Washington -6


Arizona state will play their second straight road game after wining their third road game on the season, to put them at 3-4, at Washington State. Tonight they will face a much better Washington huskies team who have two star players averaging over 17 points per game. Arizona State has been less then great on the road this season, and are facing a team who has the second biggest home court advantage in the country of over 6.0 points. Arizona State is not known for their offensive flashyness, as they currently rank over 200th in the country in that category but managage to win games with their defensive play.

They have the 12th ranked defense in the country. They have three players averaging over 10 points per game, with their leading scorer averaging 12.6 points per game. They can shoot a three when needed, but I see them struggling at this on the road in a very tough atmosphere being Washington. Although fundamentally they have a solid team, I do not feel that they have the abilities offensively to keep up on the road against Washington. They may keep it close for a while but once Arizona State falters and gives Washingtons athletes fast breaks, watch out. Washington is 15-7 on the season, but are currently 15-2 at home and struggle on the road where they are 0-5. Washington suffered an embarrassing road loss on January 8th where Arizona State beat them by 17 points, 68-51. The coach is sure to remind of this loss, which was their biggest loss on the season at the time. Washington has been playing with more intensity in their past few games. They are 3-0 their past three, winning on average by 27 points per game .. though one of those games which was a 46 point win against Seattle should not be taken with much consideration. However, that game definitely raised their confidence which could have these kids feeling like they deserve a bid in the NCAA tourney. At home where I said they have the second biggest advantage in the country, with revenge and motivation I see this Husky team whipping up on Arizona State.

Washington's 29th ranked offense has two stars by the names of Quincy Pondexter and Isaiah Thomas who respectively average 20.7 and 17.1 points per game. When you add in their 12.5 combined rebounds per game and close to 80% FT shooting it is difficult not to rank them as one of the top 1-2 punch combinations for Forward-Guard, in the country. Pondexter will score most of his points inside and at the free throw line while you can expect some big three's in this game from guard Isaiah Thomas, and alot of forced fouls as well. If Washington comes out with the intensity that is expected, they should be able to drive to the board and pick up quick easy fouls on Arizona State.

Prediction: This game is the case of a good defensive team in Arizona State on the road to play a good offensive team in Washington, who play very good at home. Most times in this situation the the offensive team pulls through at home. If Arizona State was at home the situation would be much different. Throw in like I said, revenge, motivation, 2nd best homecourt advantage, and a team full of very skilled players including two players near top in the country .. Washington could very easily pull away with an easy victory. Arizona State should fight hard as this is also a big came for league standings, where Arizona State leads the league at 6-4 in league play while Washington can tie them with a win in this game .. but ultimate I see Washington pulling through. Washington by 7-12.

Day 26 (day 1 of the second half):
CBK: South Florida Bulls +8
NBA: Toronto Raptors -8


My Superbowl pick which is not a part of the quest, and will not be reflected in my record win or lose is what I posted days ago: New Orleans Saints +6.


NBA: Toronto -8
My predicted line: Toronto -10
Prediction: This game will be a 15 to 25 point blowout.

Two teams going in opposite directions.

Sacramento is a California team therefore play in the west coast timezone so this is technically a 9:00am game for them, in Toronto. Toronto is a well rested team. I like to check Chris Bosh's twitter page because sometimes he gives his thoughts on his last game, or he mentions certain players on certain teams and you can pick up that he has a bit of a rivalry with the player .. like Dwyane Wade for example. The other day he wrote, loving the day off. Chris Bosh is a very dedicated, enthusiastic player who loves the game of basketball and is the poster child for Toronto. Whenever in Toronto he likes to put on a show, and with only two games before the All-Star break where he will be playing as well as coaching the rookie all-star game, and he will be looking to show everybody today why he will he is an all-star. With two more home games, and no more road games before the break Toronto is well rested and pumped up to be doing so well. Brian Burke, the GM of the Toronto Maple Leafs son the other night, and due respect to him, but this could lead to a more inspired performance from the Toronto Raptors players as it did the Toronto Maple Leafs players last night.


Sacramento have won one of their past 10 games, a three point win over Golden State on January 26th. Their luck isn't going to change this afternoon. This is their fourth game in the past week and like I said this feels like a 9 AM game for them because of the west coast swing. Their last game started at 10:00pm EST on January 5th and finished close to 1:00AM est. They then slept, and flew to Toronto on the 26th, got in less practice then they wished, becasuse of the time swing, and now play at 9:am their time the next day. It is needless to say, that they are tired. Sacramento is 3-21 on the road, 6-13 in games against teams in the Eastern Conference and have lost five games in a row, putting them 14 games out of 8th playoff spot in the Western Conference, making it almost impossible for them to make the playoffs. This team is now in upset mode (meaning their only goal is to upset teams), and more likely of situations are that they upset teams at home, divisional and conference games and todays game is none of those. This team honestly has nobody to lead them, and this has become a rebuilding year for Sacramento. Sacramento's offense can put up good numbers at home on occasion but, they have the 26th ranked defense in the league (of 30 teams). Sacramento has a 6 and 23 record against teams currently in playoff position (like the Raptors) which is only 20%. Sacramento has lost on the road by an average 8 points this season and in their past 10 games they have lost by double digits four times in their past nine games.


Toronto is a very good home team, and have the 5th best home advantage in the league of just under six points. Toronto is 18-6 at home this season, are 9-4 ATS in their past 10 home games and have the 4th best offense in the league averaging over 104 points per game. Toronto always gets a very good turnout at their games on Sunday afternoons and that could be a reason why they are 7-1 ATS on Sundaysthis season. I don't use that kind of information to make a decision normally, but it actually holds weight in this certain situation. Toronto loves to put on for a show, so it makes sense that they tend to play better when more people are able to attend their game, as they have more people to put on a show, for. haha. Toronto will be getting back three important players to their line-up on Sunday. Rookie Guard Remar DeRozan will return after missing five games with an ankle injury. Demar is a big lift to Toronto, and fills the shoes of Jemario Moon from last, as a high-flying dunker/ star ball handler, who can provide 10 points per game and a fast-paced tempo. Toronto will also get back Forward Hedo Turkoglu who wen't out with a face injury missing the past three games. Hedo has been a big impact since coming over to Toronto this season. He is averaging over 4 rebounds and 4 assists per game to go along with 13 points per game. Hedo had 26 points and 11 rebounds in the last game he played, and I am sure he would like to continue from there. The third player returning to the line-up is fan favourite Jose Calderon, who looks identical to Borat, from the movie. haha. Borat is a great player to bring off the bench to carry the ball and change the tempo. The spaniard is full of heart and leaves everything on the court, with only one more game after this left before the all star break I expect all three of these players to be giving everything that they've got. Toronto is 7-3 in their past ten,and frankly I am going to stop this write-up because San Antonio is just outmatched in every category for this game, most importantly including in stamina, and situation. Toronto is 20-6 against non-playoff teams, and I like them to run Sacramento out of their home this afternoon.

Toronto to score 110+, winning the fans a slice of pizza for Pizza Pizza, in what will be the Chris Bosh Show with his sideshows all having great games as well.



CBK: South Florida +8
My predicted line: South Florida +3.5
My prediction: South Florida to win straight up by 3-7 points.



The South Florida Bulls head to Indiana to take on Notre Dame.
This game is a clash between a 15-7 team @ a 16-7 team, whom are both 5-5 in Big East Divisional play; and at the middle of conference standings.

South Florida, is led by by Junior sensation Dominique Jones, who is averaging 22.4 points per game, 6.2 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 2 steals, and 50% FG shooting on the year. Jones is the countrys highest scorer since Jan 1st, averaging 29.5 points per game, with his worst game scoring 20 points in only 33 minutes. Jones plays almost the entire game, usually 39 minutes, and sometimes is on the court for every minute of the game. When asked about his current hot streak Jones claimed "I'm not on a roll. I just feel a lot more comfortable on the court. I feel I've got Coach Heath's trust. I feel like he trusts me 100 percent. Earlier in the season, I felt like it was only 80 or 90." South Florida is 3-3 in road play, and just defeated #7 ranked Georgetown on the road by eight points, after beating #17 Pittsburgh by 11. They have a four game winning streak, in which Jones is averaging 35 points per game. South Florida will not be looking ahead as their next game is not for another week. To go along with Dominique Jones, South Florida has two guys averaging 10 pts per game or higher with Jarrid Famous and Chris Howard, and Mike Mercer averaging 9 points per game. Although these numbers seem better then average with Jones's numbers added in the mix, their real strength however is their defense which they are 60th ranked in the country. I had money on Notre Dame the other night when they destroyed Cincinnati, and I don't see the same happening tonight, against a team who can play much better basketball then Cincinnati. Notre Dame coach called an 8:30 practice before the Notre Dame game, to send a message to the players on their poor performance of late; this seemed to fire them up, and they fought hard all game against Cincinnati. They will face a very tough challenge in the Bulls, and DeMarcus Jones. Jones is very fast and slick, but also aggressive .. a Kobe type of player. I expect them to put senior Guard Tory Jackson on him most of the night because he is a senior, and is most likely the only one who can keep up with Jones; being only 5-11, 195 pounds. He is inches shorter then Jones and should have his hands full all night. They will likely slide Hansbrough and Harangody over to help for size, but Jones is a playmaker and if Notre Dame does this too much Jones will start making plays for open three point shots from the unguarded players. Luke Harangody is averaging 24.8 points per game this season for Notre Dame and had 37 points against Cincinnati shooting 60% from the field. Cincinnati was a small team, but South Florida has players like Jarrid Famous who stands 6'11 and averages 8 rebounds, and 11 points for South Florida. South Florida has had an extra day to prepare for this game, and I am sure their coaches watched the Notre Dame's game, which was a day after South Floridas most recent game. I don't expect Notre Dame to have the magic that they did in their last game, and they will be contested on every shot by this Bulls team who are looking for the win, not the cover. Notre Dame is fresh in the publics mind as contenders again with that big win over Cincinnati, but don't forget Notre Dame has lost four of their past six games, and are coming off of only two games of rest. If their confidence is high, and they don't watch out South Florida could have a double digit lead as quick as that. Notre Dame has the 250th ranked defense and I believe they will all have a very difficult time covering Jones, who will also look to get Famous involved down low when nothing else is open. Famous has height over all of Notre Dames players and hopefully that will draw some fouls out of Notre Dame early. DeMarcus Jones has a beautiful shot though and I am excited to watch him play again tonight. He is trying to take a South Florida team to their first NCAA tournament in 16 years.


When asked about the upcoming schedule Jones, full of confidence after winning two straight games vs. top 25 teams, said to reporters "Call it whatever you want to, but I don't see a team on the upcoming schedule that we can't beat." South Florida will be overlooking nobody. They are confident they can win every game from here on out, and next week will be getting back Gus Gilchrist, who suffered a knee injury two months ago. Gus was their leading scorer at the time with 19 points per game through eight games, and will be on the bench for this road trip and could get some minutes in todays game, which would only lift this Bulls team more, in their run.


I agree with Jones .. South Florida wins this game straight up by 3-7 points, as they continue to prove that their team is not a fluke. Watch out for them in the March Madness tourney as well. I believe they continue this run they are on for a while.

CBK: Charleston College -7
My predicted line: CC -11

The 13-12 Citadel Bulldogs head on the road today to face divisional foes the 16-8 Charleston Cougars, and 10-0 at home.

The Citadel is led a very talented Guard in Cameron Wells, and are currently 6-6 in league play. Wells is averaging over 17 points per game to go along with six rebounds, for a Citadel team withone of the worst ranked offenses in the league. The Citadel have relied on Wellstoo much, especially in the second half of games. Wells has only been able to score 19 points in his past two games combined, shooting 3 for 20 from the field and 1 for 5 from three point range; they still managed to hang on at home against two teams who's skill level is not close to being in the same category of Charleston, especially offensively. With the lack of production you would think Citadel would falter but they won both games comfortably at home.

The road is a different story for Citadel where they are 3-7, as opposed to their 10-5 home record. This will be the third game in five nights for both teams, but Charleston has the advantage being at home throughout this entire span. In their past ten games Citadel's offense wasn't able to score 25 FG's once. Charleston have scored 25+ FG's for eight straight games. The Citadel are only recognized for their stout defense, but I feel with the fatigue of the past five days, the frustratations and constant pressure Charleston's offense will put on Citadel's defense, wearing out the players even more so, and on the road .. this game looks like smooth sailing for Charleston. Citadel can play great defense but lately their turnover ratio is one of the worsts of any teams. You can't make those mistakes on the road in a divisional game, and look for Charleston's offense to capitalize on fast break opportunities.

Charleston has an answer to Citadel's star, Cameron Wells. His name is Andrew Goudelock; he is averaging 20 points per game, 4 rebounds and 4 assists per game, 42% shooting from 3pt range, FT % of 79, and a FG shooting average of 49%. Goudelock is not the only player doing well on a team with great chemistry and communication. Charleston has three other scorers averaging double digit+ points. Between them they average 14.5 rebounds and six assists, delivering lots of weapons to help out Goudelock. These numbers has Charleston one of the most feared teams in the Southern Conference. One of those players, Jeremy Simmons,is averaging 12 points per game and has played two games with Charleston since his injury which sidelined him for four games. Like I said Charleston has only lost two games in their past twelve, and those two games happened to both be when missing Simmons. He is rounding back into form and I look for a strong performance with his inside game presence. His presence also allows Goudelock to play more comfortably. Charleston has a few players with over 40% 3pt shooting and can extend leads to double digits in the blink of an eye.

With five consecutive home games Charleston knows they have an opportunity to cement their place at the top of the division; this will be game three of this home stand. They have an 11-2 record in league play, but have one win less of division leaders Wofford. They have won ten of their past twelve games, winning seven of those 10 games by double digits; and I don't see them letting up tonight in front of a home crowd. I had Citadel the other day in which they failed to cover the point spread by 2 points. Barring a big performance from Jones, I expect Charleston to run them out of their court with a double digit win. Charleston has one of the top 50 home advantages in the country and I like them to beat a Citadel team they beat by seven on the road a couple weeks ago. Double digit victory.
