Thurs Hot Spot

[spottig]

Big board to choose from...here are 4 good ones to start with.

Northern Iowa -2

Hate to lay points on the road following disastrous week for road favs but NI clearly the hotter team ATS as NI is 8-2 ATS on the year going 5-1 in their last 6 while IST is just 3-7 ATS inc. 1-5 in their last 6.


USC -4

Normally a home-home series, this one is being played at the Great Western Forum with both schools entering play a perfect 4-0 in PAC-10 play. Bruins 0-4-1 ATS in the last 5 while the Trojans are a perfect 5-0 in their last 5 contests.

Idaho + 3.5

Long Beach 1-5 SU on the season while Idaho has gotten 2 of their 3 season wins at home. Vandals also coming off 2 20-pt losses on the road and should be ready to play back at home.


Cal Poly SLO + 8.5

Cal Poly 9-3 SU & 7-3 ATS is also a perfect 6-0 SU at home and 3-0 in conference. Pacific is 9-4 SU & 6-5 ATS including 5-3 SU on the road, but only 1-2 in conference play.

Looking at more PAC-10 games and I will post those selections later on. Good luck to all!

Spottig,
I like your plays but your writeup on Pacific/Cal Poly would seem to indicate that Pacific was on the road and Cal Poly was home (because those are the supporting stats you used) when in fact it is a Pacific home game.
Still looks like I a good play but figured I'd point it out.
Good luck.

Pipeline---thanks for the oversight--Pacific is home but the numbers still look good on Cal Poly.

Let's make it a 6-pack and add 2 more I've been looking at all day:

Ill-Chicago + 1.5
Ill-Chi is 9-6 SU and 8-4 ATS while WGB is just 3-9 SU and 2-4-1 ATS

Arizona -6.5
Az is 9-4 SU and 6-7 ATS while Wash St is 4-8 SU and 3-6 ATS. Series dominated by the Wildcats:
Date Home Away Line ATS
2/10/2001 Ariz. 86 Was. St. 51 -24/N Ariz./-
1/11/2001 Was. St. 51 Ariz. 84 14.5/N Ariz./-
2/12/2000 Was. St. 50 Ariz. 73 12.5/N Ariz./-
1/13/2000 Ariz. 80 Was. St. 75 -22/N Was. St./-

Az has covered 4 straight vs. Wash easily and should win this one by at least 10.
