some thoughts on today's games

[loophole]

working from home office today so naturally my attention drifts to today's ncaa card:


buffalo -10: buffalo is trying to keep pace in the mid american conference race while eastern michigan is playing out the string and off a rivalry win over central michigan. hard to imagine emu staying with single digits against the bulls' high octane offense.

fau +2: fau is a good team that can score and is in a log jam with uab, mtsu and la tech for second place in conference usa standings. they are off a loss @ w ky and host uab friday night. tonight is huge for their season. n texas has a tough week with tonight's game and then turn around and play @ birmingham friday night. imo its going to be tough for the mean green to hold the owls' down tonight while they try to push the pace and still have something left in the tank for the weekend. maybe owls outright tonight?


more as my attention span wanders from work today.

I saw your post earlier in the morning and decided I would ride the Bulls with you. I placed a good-sized wager at my one book for the first half and thought I would fill in an open parlay for eh game at my other spot. After placing the first bet I actually had to do some work at the office......All the while having no idea that it was a noon tip.

So finally, around 12:15 I go to place my wager at the other book and I'm going crazy because I can't find the game.........I finally checked the scoreboard and saw that it had already tipped :facepalm:

I did grab the 2nd half to complete the parlay but I sure made it a lot more complicated than it had to be.

ALL that to say.................

ks - glad you hit buddy, thanks.

further thoughts:

towson -3: whatever happens here, its been a pretty good season for these teams considering they were both picked to be near the bottom of the caa in preseason polls, yet this game tonight will probably go a long way in deciding the regular season conference champ. seahawks beat towson in overtime in baltimore when the tigers got in foul trouble and were badly outscored at the charity stripe. towson is the better team(#81 vs #192), with revenge, with more depth in what should shape up to be a tightly played game, so i give them the edge. i may place a half unit parlay on towson moneyline with the under in case the spread is the difference.

Great call on buffalo :toast:

thanks lefty.

how about:

samford -2: socon game that has a lot of bearing on conference tournament seedings. when the keydets beat samford by 19 last month in a shootout in lexington, they made 19 treys - i doubt that happens tonight. samford has been on a roll lately, vmi is off a home loss to the citadel. a bucket sounds like a deal.

depaul -1-: let me get this straight - depaul has lost 11 out of their last 14, and have also lost the last 14 to the bluejays, including the last 8 in chicago?? yet they are favored in this game?? hell, how could i not bet them?
