Why do I get the feeling that I'm screwed?!?!

Horrible capping the past couple days overall. . . my only saving grace are the halftime plays that have somehow kept me alive.

So now comes Sunday when it would be nice to be able to make most of it back given and chase a little and here is GW only a 10 point favorite over Towson St. I do a little more searching:

GW hasn't played a game in 11 days. . . Towson fresh off a game from two days ago. GW has had plenty of time to prepare for this one. Of course they may be a little cold given the fact they haven't played anybody in over a week, but one would have to believe their scrimmage is better than the competition they are going to face Sunday morning.

Towson State has great height up front, yet they consistently give up loads of rebounds on the offensive end to their opponents allowing second chances at the basket.

GW has two quality losses to Maryland and Texas. They have won by double digits on the road to Florida Int and Boston U. . . both of which appear to be much better teams than Towson.

Towson has lost every game except two home games to Norfolk St and a very impressive (lol) win against Md Eastern Shore.


Can somebody tell me what I'm missing here? Why would Vegas even issue a line? Do they really expect to receive action on Towson at all? Not too many games on Sunday so there's no way they have simply made a mistake. I just don't get it. . . I feel like placing a huge bet on GW as they could shoot worse than Towson yet still cover the line given the offensive boards they should get in this game.

Anyone wanna talk me out of this one, I'd probably appreciate it tomorrow afternoon :rolleyes:

fwiw,

I like TOWSON plus the points.

Reasoning -- There isn't enough ats strength in GW's portfolio to make them a road favorite against anyone. Secondly, in Towson's +10 road dog loss/no cover @ Rider, they lost 68-56 (ats -2), which tells me they played at on very near expectation.

Granted, GW is the better team and they have played a more difficult shedule, but Towson has played at or slightly above what has been expected of them by the Linesmaker.

I would not ignore Towson in this matchup.

just my 2 cents.

Well, call me a fool, but I played GW here. . . 80% of the consensus is with me which I never like, but I suppose I've gotta see it with my own eyes.
