Thursday games. . .

Much better on Wednesday with our big plays. . .here's another:

Northridge laying 8 over Loyola Marymount

Northridge is a very good basketball team to beat San Diego on the road and hang with Oregon on the road as well. The main reason I'm playing this is how this team plays at home. Simply has dominated and I can't see Loyola coming in and keeping this game respectable.

Can't see going any other way with this one.

More to come. . .

Upgrading this to a double top play. . . everything I have researched is telling me that Loyola will be in serious trouble unless they shoot well from the field. . . even if they do, it will take a near flawless game otherwise for them to hang in this one. They do not have the players to match up the size of Northridge for the entire game.

If Northridge can hold Loyola to 50% or less from the field, they win by double digits. . . that's what my research leads me to believe.

Yup I agree.

Well, the Northridge line is now up to 9.5 so win or lose, we made the right choice to play them early. Here's the rest of the games today:

Solid plays (but half of the Northridge play):

ECU laying 9.5 over George Mason. . . have to agree with the rest on this one. . . looks a lot like the Northridge game and we have every reason to expect a blowout. I'll put my money on the line.

Providence laying 4.5 over Richmond. . . waited for the line to move and it went a full point against me, but will play it just the same. Providence not the greatest team in the world, but Richmond needs a break and hopefully this will be the game where they kick back and take it up the :moon:

Small plays:

Illinois Chicago +3 over Northwestern. . . wrong team favored IMO, but don't have the guts to only play the ML when I can get 3 points instead.

Canisius +5.5 over St. Bonny. . . not sure how Canisius will come out in this one, but I believe they have a good chance to win the game outright. . . no reason not to take the 5.5

Still looking at Cal Irvine. . . the line is rising because I think everyone believe Stanford is due to get back on track with a win. . . but 8 points looks like a lot to me. Will hold off for now and may just decide to stick with the five games I'm already on, but still might add this one as a small play later today.
