St Louis +20

[Ike Bomb]

I can't believe this line hasn't been bet down, and that worries me a little bit. We all know that Cincinnati will win the game but I don't see them winning by 20. The way that St Louis slows the game down (they lost 54-50 to Cincinnati in St Louis ths year), makes me think they can stay within 20 points of any team in the country.

What am I missing? :shrug:

I decided back in December that I'll never give 20+ in any situation. Only consider taking, or leaving alone. I have no proof, just memory...but 20+ dogs do significantly better than 50%.

As for St. Louis...I can see them losing by 20+, considering it's Cincinnati. They have a run it up reputation. But I like getting +20. good luck.

This just looks like too many pts. It *is* a conference game. True, U-C is probably one of the best 3-4 teams in the country but they have a tendency to get a little lazy on a big lead, and Huggins has no problem pulling Logan and Stokes like he did against DePaul when they let DePaul backdoor them.

I have finally learned to take the points in this series. S.L.U. seems to always play Cincy tough. I remember loses alot of coin over the past 5 years playing Cincy.

I realize I am johnny come lately here but the factor that made it a play for me was the total that Cascade had posted, 126 !

I felt the total or the spread had to be off and figured it was the side. Maybe some feel that is faulty reasoning but if a low scoring game the big number would be hard to bust, IMHO.

Nice call on Cincy!!

You're right. Linemakers were looking for one of those 64-46 games like Memphis delivered on Friday. They got it, but with the number being 20, there wasn't much room to play with on the Cincinnati side of 20. The book I use doesn't give many sides, not sure if I would have been smart enough to catch that one anyway. A good point and another tool to use in the future.
