YESTERDAY'S CARD 1-1 (+0.8 units)
NBA YTD 5-9 (-18.9 units )
ORLANDO-DETROIT OVER 190 ( 5 units )
TOTAL PLAY OF THE WEEK
For sure i thought this total would be around 200. The magic have scored 120 plus in two out if it's first three games this season and both times their opponent shot over 50%. The pistons have averaged 88 ppg in their first three but have played Memphis,Oklahoma and Milwaukee three teams that are comfortable in the half court offense. So obviously this is a match up that favors the OVER. I'm thinking a 105-95 Final. I just grabbed this line at 190 and i see it going up. Playable right up until 193-94.
PHILADELPHIA +7 ( 2 units )
MIAMI-3 ( 1 unit )
2009 NCAA YTD 37-34 (+6.4 units )
OHIO ST 1ST HALF-24.5 ( 5 units )
OHIO ST 1ST HALF OVER 27 ( 5 units)
In over 25 years of wagering on college football I've never seen a spread and a total being right around the same number. Ohio st is about a 44 point favorite and the over/under is around 48.5. New Mexico st is grossly outmatched in this game. Just to let you now how bad the Aztecs are their team total is 3 points in this game. The only chance this team can score is if the buckeyes turn it over deep in their own part of the field. I don't even think New Mexico st can cross mid field in this game. It will be 21-0 before you can blink your eyes. THE VALUE HERE LIES IN THE FIRST HALF. I'M PREDICTING ABOUT A 35-0 FIRST HALF SCORE. THE BUCKEYES MIGHT CALL OFF THE DOGS IN THE SECOND BUT I DO THINK THEY STILL COVER THE SPREAD. FINAL PREDICTION 56-0.
AKRON-NORTHERN ILLINOIS OVER 41 ( 4 units )
I think this spread is a little low. When was the last time you saw a MAC game in the low 40's. The Huskies might score this many points alone.
IOWA ST +7 ( 3 units )
KENT -2.5 ( 3 units )
OKLAHOMA ST +9.5 ( 2 units )
BOISE ST-36 ( 2 units )
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE,LETS HAVE A GOOD STRETCH RUN IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL
WEDNESDAYS CARD 2-0 (+3.0 oranges )
NBA POSTING YTD 2-1 ( +0.8 oranges )
DENVER-PORTLAND OVER 198 ( 2 oranges )
Any time i can get an over/under of less than 200 in a game involving the nuggets i need to do clear my vision and do a double take. How can this be? Maybe odds makers are taking into consideration that then Nuggets are playing B2B. It's too early in the season for me to consider this as a factor. All legs are fresh. The Nuggets play fast for 48 minutes and defending their basket is a task all of last season which they never took too seriously. Looking at Portland I'm not to worried. They should score about 110 points tonight. When you got Travis Outlaw coming off the bench to score 24 points, you know this team is 2 deep in every position. THIS TOTAL IS A SOLID PLAY
TUESDAYS CARD 0-1 (-2.2 apples )
We got the season off to a bad start last night as i lost with the rockets Over. I was a trey away from cashing my ticket but a 37 point 3rd quarter ended up being the difference.
All four dogs covered last night and all four games ended up going under the total with the Celtics being right around the number.
Too early to say if this might be a trend,parity or just a coincidence.
SACRAMENTO-OKLAHOMA CITY UNDER 205 ( 2 Apples )
There is very little talent on this Kings team. Garcia will be out till at least Mid January and except for Kevin Martin most of these players have no quality playing minutes in the NBA. Westphal has decided to go with Evans at the point guard position. I think that's a big mistake, Evans was a shooting guard at Memphis and that's the position he excels at. Sacramento will be hard pressed to get 85 points tonight. I was also leaning a little towards the kings but i am more comfortable here betting on the UNDER.
DETROIT -2.5 ( 1 apple )
I've been starring at this game all morning and i finally decided to pull the trigger. The spread is favorable. I like what Joe Dumars has done with this club. The Pistons did the right thing by not signing the cancer Wallace. I really like this team right now, the additions of Gordon and Villaneuva is definitely an upgrade. I think the pistons should finish 5th or 6th in the eastern conference this year.
LETS START WITH A WIN TONIGHT.
First things first. I'd like to wish everyone here good luck in this upcoming basketball season.
I think the cappers in this basketball forum do a great job of handicapping compared to the other sports.
We all wanna make money, so let's keep this clean and not blame others if someone steers us off a winner or loser. We are not all perfect. There are some very good handicappers here like Oddsbuster,Double up for life, Big East Expert Puck U and not to mention many more. Use the information on covers to your advantage and let's make some money. There is nothing better than sharing information.
HOUSTON-PORTLAND OVER 186 ( 2 Grapes )
I feel that this number is a little low here to what i believe that this 2009-10 version of the Houston Rockets will be a little more up tempo and less emphasis on defense. They showed me this in pre-season averaging 102 points in 8 games. Their line up is small this year and they do not have a true center. They will be experimenting with Scola at the center position and Battier is the only one this team that can play some defense. On the other side of the court Portland is so deep that i think this team might have the best bench in the league. My only concern is that Andre Miller brings out the ball a little too slow. If the rockets can get to 90 points, which i think they will. Then this game will go way OVER the total.
