INDIAN COWBOY
Play: Oklahoma State +11.5 (College POD)
Comments: INDIAN COWBOY'S PLAY OF THE DAY: Oklahoma State +11.5 (College POD)^^^ This is my college basketball POD. This makes a lot of sense for a lot of reasons. Yes, I know it's Texas senior day today, but Oklahoma State is beginning to get revenge on all teams they had previously lost to. Think about it, this team has won outright lately winning 5 in a row with their last loss by 8 points to Oklahoma at home to their arch rivals. This will get this team fired up likely to play a Texas team in which it is their respective senior's last game before the Big 12 Tourney as well. Remember, although Oklahoma State struggled early, they have turned it around lately beating top 40 Baylor by 10 at home, beating Texas A&M by 4 on the road who is a top 40 team, beating Kansas by 1 at home, beating top 80 Missouri on the road outright, beating Nebraska at home by 14 and losing to Oklahoma recently. This team lost by just a bucket to Texas at home, similar to A&M and they got revenge on A&M. Am I saying that this team is going to be Texas outright on Senior Day - no. But, I am saying they are likely to lose by single digits here and I'm willing to make a wager on that with revenge, on a bounce-back and playing much better basketball in the second half of the season. The Cowboys are 5-1 ATS against teams with a winning % of 60% or better.
INDIAN COWBOY'S PLAY OF THE DAY: SEATTLE vs TORONTO
Play: Toronto Raptors -12.5 (POD)
Comments: INDIAN COWBOY'S PLAY OF THE DAY: Raptors -12.5 (POD) ^^^ I still have to finish researching the full card. Today might be the exception where I might have more than 1 play because I got onto the research late. But for now, just 1 play, I'll note on the capperslounge blog the total number of plays. thanks. Long story short here, the Raptors got beat by the Sonics earlier this year back in December, the Sonics have lost the cover in their last 2 road games including an ugly loss their last ballgame. The Raptors come off a loss to the Wizards at home, this team has to regroup without Bosh and come together and typically they are one of the best in bounce-backs after a straight up loss and covering the next game's spread. I like the Raps at home, off a loss and with revenge in this ballgame. The Raptors rae 9-2 ATS following a straight up loss. I'm considering adding Ohio State as I write this as well so please check back soon. Once again, today is an exception given that I started the research a bit later so I'm not going to have time to decide between these plays for just 1 POD so I might ride with the top plays. thanks.
