Small card last night went 1-0 bringing the YTD record to 22-22-2. Todays card is massive so I am trying to pick best situations and run with them. Todays plays are as follows:
Marquette -2.5 @ NOVA : I will take the better team in my opinion with a short line here. Marqutte and Nova have both been inconsistent at best this year however I think Marquette just has more talent and gets it done today so the play is on Marquette minus the points.
Miss St. @ Florida -10 : I think the BullDogs are areal live dog for a few reasons here, first Florida is coming off a pretty tough battle down in Ole Miss, second Miss St is a in your face pound you type of team and Florida I jus dont see pulling away in this one in my opinion the line should have been around four or five so I will take the value in the ten points given and run with the underdog Bulldogs play is on Miss St.
Kansas -6 vs. Iowa St.: although Iowa St. has been a surprise this year theere offence very much goes through the low post, that works against quite few teams however I do not see Kansas as one of those teams. The Jay Hawks will be too much come the second half and I see them pulling away and covering this line fairly easily.
Sam Diego St -2.5 @ Colorado State : at first glance I thought maybe this was a trap line, however that being said, after breaking down the game I do... [More]

Well tough night last night missing a winning night by merely just a few points, it is a long long season though gotta keep plugging away! YTD record is now 21-22-2 Tonights Card is as follows and will be a very short card as there is tons going on tomorrow and I am looking to get an early start breaking down those games!
Iona -2 @ Fairfield : In this situation I am not understanding the line placement, I know Iona struggled last time out but they are still one of the top scoring teams in the nation albeit against lowly opponents. Fairfield although at home just does not have the weapons to keep this one close in my opinion and I will take the Iona Gaels in this sopt as my only play of the day!
Best of luck to you all lets get those paper cuts!

Sorry boys was away on vacation for a while will be posting regularly once again beginning with tonight! For those of you who dont know me or remember me feel free to drop some insight into my plays and follow along for a whil! BOL to you all lets get these paper cuts!
YTD Record 20-20-2 been off for a month but ready to roll again!
Florida- 6 @ Ole Miss : The Play here is Florida simply a better shooting team and has time to prepare for the system Ole Miss employs, SO the play is the Gators.
Valpo @ Green Bay -1.5 : In my humble opinion Valpo is a very live short dog here and they shoot the ball extremely well and have been clicking lately I see them pulling away early second half so the play is on the dog, Valpo.
Indiana @ Wisconsin -7 : again here I think it is a great spot of Indiana to be able to keep this game very close and maybe pull out the win in the end. Wisky is not built to blow people away they try to grind it out and play a slower tempo so I think Indiana will be able to hang around and cover fairly easily tonight.
Those are the paper cut plays for the night, now lets get this, Best of luck to you all which ever side you are on tonight.

Okay Boys 19-19-1 to start the year no it is on to Conference play the feeling out proceess is over and its time to get these paper cuts!
First Play of the Day is as follows:
Georgetown +6 vs. Louisville : The Hoyas are playing great team defense and take very very smart shots they also have the ball handlers and athletiscm to deal with the press wehre as the Cards are banged up and cant really force there press like they normally have in the past. The Cards have also been very inconsistent and have come up lucky a few times! All that said the Play is the Hoyas today!
Second play is as Follows:
Indiana +5.5 @ Michigan State : Michigan State will have the luxury of starting conference play off against a very hot Hoosiers Team. although the Hoosiers will be missing at least two Key Players I think Zellers is just too much of a mis match for Michigan state and I see this game coming down to a final possesion so I will take the points here!
Last Play of the Day is as follows:
UConn-6 @ South Florida : this almost looks like a trick line to me way to low in my opinion I know that Uconn looked like they didnt care there last game but it is Conference play now and look for the Huskies to make a statement tonight the play is on UCONN!
BOL to all catch you on the flip and lets get these paper CUTS!

Okay 0-2 Yesterday running YTD to 18-18-1 I just need to get a streak going here boys hop on now cause I know its coming! (lol)
Todays plays are as follows:
George Mason vs. Virginia -10 : I just think if Virginia falls behind it will be an impossible line to cover, as well I think George Mason has been looking at this game for a month as a big spot for them where as Virginia was focused on other tough match ups, I see a let down spot for Virginia in a closer game than many expect, my play is on George Mason plus the points!
Second Play is as follows:
Washington @Marquette -7.5 : No explanation accept two things, MArquette's offense is insane right now and this young Washington team has not learned to travel well as of yet so the play is on Marquette minus the points here.
Best of Luck to you all keep getting those paper cuts fella's!
Posted Monday, December 05, 2011 04:06 PM
Okay Boys new Week lets get this done! YTD 18-16-1.
First Play of Monday is as follows:
St. Johns Red Storm -1.5 @Detroit : The play is on the Red Storm, they have faced a very tough schedule and are in a good bounce back situation tonight as Detroit tried to rally from 16 down in there last game and came up short against Clev St. The Red Storm have a great Freshman in Harkles and how can you get against a team that has a player with the name God's Gift? So the play is the Red Storm!
Second Play of the day is as follows:
Wis Milwakee @ Depaul -3 : Wis Mil plays pretty good defense for the most part but can they defend the three on the road? secondly they shoot under 60% from the charity line which simply will not get it done down the stretch in my opinion, for those two reasons the play is on Depaul at home!
Best of Luck to you all,catch you on the flip and keep getting those paper cuts!

Okay 0-1 yesterday pushing year to date total to 15-16-1 I am sure things will turn around here!
First Play on this huge Saturday card is:
UNC vs. Kentucky : Thought the line would be around three or four personally an dI think 6.5 is just too many points to give up to a tope ten ranked team so I will take the points and the Tar Heels in this spot!
Iowa State vs. Michigan : Iowa State has to shoot the ball well to stay in this game as Michigan is angry coming off there last disappointment of a game! I see Michigan an Blowing Iowa state out of the water starting early second half so the play is on the wolverines!
Third Play is Arkansas +13.5 vs. UCONN: I simply think UCOnn is over rated this year and I see Arkansas as a possible upset today so I will take the points to the bank!
BOL to you all today get those paper cuts catch you all on the flip!
Posted Friday, December 02, 2011 05:10 PM
1-1 yesterday running year to date total will be posted tomorrow dont want to post wrong info!
Todays Play is:
Syracuse-6 vs. Florida : Florida is overrated in my opininon and it is now easy task going into Cuse so I will take the orange to cover in this spot tonight!
Thats it for today boys dont want to force action that is not there tomorrows slate is huge!
Catch you on the flip

Okay Boys 2-0 yesterday pushing the YTD to 14-15-1 now on to a new month and hopefully better results!
first Play of the day is:
Davidson-6.5 vs wofford : Simply Put Davidson dominates every category in this game so I will take them minus the points!
Second Play is:
Murray St - 6.5 vs. Western Ky : Western Ky is god awful this year and I dont see a way they score enough points to stay close longer then one half of ball so I will take Murray St. to the bank with a predicted second half runaway!
BOL to all keep getting those paper cuts!
Posted Wednesday, November 30, 2011 11:30 AM
Okay boys it has bee a tough month to say the least but I am sure things will turn around here soon! YTD 11-15-1
Todays Plays Are as follows:
Indiana - 1 vs. NC State : Just dont see the Wolf Pack as a complete team right now and add to that there inconsistencies and I think Indiana walks away starting in the second half! The Play is Indiana
UNLV - 4 vs. Santa Barbara : UNLV is in a let down spot but I dont see the level of competition they are faciing tonight as to much of a threat, I mean this team just dropped ninety points on the number one team in the country and beat them by ten I will ride the running rebels to the bank tonight!
There you have it boys my final two plays for November , some other leans to look at were Boise State, Crieghton and South Florida howeer they are just leans my only two plays are locked and loaded above!
Best of luck to you all have a great last day of Movember!
Posted Tuesday, November 29, 2011 10:57 AM
Okay lets make this short and simple today! YTD 11-12-1
Todays plays are as follows:
Michigan +3 vs. Virginia : Michigan and Hardaway Junior have shown a lot this year so far agaisnt much better competition then Virginia, furthermore I dont feel Virginia shoots the ball well enough to get Michigan out of there zone so I will take the points and the Wolverines in this spot!
Purdue - 8 vs. Miami : The Boiler Makers are at home and will be just too much for the Hurricanes to upset them on the road as well Purdue shoots the ball way better at home IMO and that will lead them out of the gates in the second half to a runaway special! the play is on the Boliermakers!
Duke vs. Ohio State -6 : simply put I dont normally like to back Duke however giving them 6 in my opinion is just to much as this game will come down to one possesion add that to the fact that the Blue Devils have played better competition and can slow down Sullinger by throwing numerous big bodies at him so I will tak ethe rare points with the Blue Devils!
Catch you all on the flip keep gettting those paper cuts!

YTD record is 11-12-1 hoping to turn it on this week!
Todays Plays are as follows: Sorry Boys after going over the card I just can not find anything of value so today is a day off the boards for me! BOL to all I have a small lean on Pepperdine for much the same reasons as Kaponofor3 posted however it is only a lean at this time! Anyways BOL to you all today get those paper cuts and I will catch you all on the flipside tomorrow!
Posted Saturday, November 26, 2011 10:27 AM
Okay little stumble yesterday with Nova not showing up and the Seminoles losing to the Harvard Brats! That pushes my YTD record to 11-10-1 Anyways on to todays card.
Today is only two plays as I refuse to force plays if I see value I play it if not I wont end of story.
Davidson -6 vs NC Wilmington : Davidson will be effective with the bal and will force Wilmington to play a way they dont like to play so I am taking Davidson minus the points here!
Second play and last play of day is as follows:
Long Beach State -3.5 (get it early it will move)vs. Montana: LB State forces the action all over the floor and causes teams to play way out of there element and they have already dominated a ranked team this year so I will take them to cover this line easily!
Best of Luck to you all today keep getting those paper cuts, catch you all on the flip!
Posted Friday, November 25, 2011 01:01 PM
Well another perfect day yesterday so 5-0 last two days running my YTD to 11-8-1 anyways enough about me and on to todays money making play! (I hope)
Saint Louis -2 vs. Villanova : I really think that Nova is a better team then we have seen and I think they will prove and show that today against a capable Saint Louis Team, I will take the small Dog here as my system shows Nova winning by six points however As mentioned earlier Saint Louis is very capable and Nova will have to be on there game but the play is Nova!
Harvard vs. Florida State : Simply put I dont think Harvard is on the same level basketball wise as the Seminoles. If this was a math contest or an essay cometition I would be worried but I think the Seminoles blow Harvard so far out of the water they will be thinking they should have stayed home in Boston to watch the Bruins game and shop with there spoiled girlfriends. So the Play is Florida State.
That is is for now still breaking down the night slate of Games will post a couple more plays if I find them!
Good luck to all on this Black Friday keep getting those paper cuts!

Okay boys had a good day yesterday going 3-0 running my YTD to 9-8-1 on posted plays! Very small card today as I will be watching Football all day and lounging around! I wish everyone a safe and happy holiday though and look forward to getting these paper cuts with you all!
Todays Plays are as follows:
Villanova - 12.5 vs. Cal riverside : Nova has yet to cover this year and that is due partially to them playing soft opponents and the lines being incredibly high however I thikn they have the fire power to pour it on today and look for them to blow out riverside!
Second play of the day is:
Florida State - 6.5 vs. Umass: Umass is coming off a blow out against Boston College and is due for a letdown game in this spot IMO and the Seminoles will be in there face contesting everythng I look for the Seminoles to jump out in front early and stay out in front the whole way!
Happy Thanksgiving to all now go get those paper cuts!
Posted Wednesday, November 23, 2011 05:10 PM
Okay boys so 6-7-1 YTD had a push and a loss yesterday I am staying on the grind though and I am sure will start rolling the winners in very soon!
Three plays today are as follows:
Michigan - 6.5 : I JUST SEE THEM DESTROYING A VERY BAD UCLA TEAM! END OF STORY!
Duke- 4.5 : Kansas is a good team but Duke is starting to click and the sky is the limit for this young team!
Syracuse -9.5 : I dont see any way that Va Tech can stay with them for more then one half of play so Cuse is in the house oh my god oh my god, cuse is in the house minus the points!
Good luck to all getting those paper cuts!
Posted Tuesday, November 22, 2011 03:48 PM
Okay boys learned a lot last night and learned it the hard way but I think I may lean towards fading Kansas for a while that much is for sure! anyways on to the battle! YTD 6-7 Iknow I am gonna start rolling soon got a better feel last couple nights of what teams are really about!
Todays Plays are as follows;
Duke -7 vs. Michigan : Couple major reasons I am backing Duke here and no its not because they are a public team! lol First is Michigan got by and won the game using a zone against a team that could not knock down any shots! If you zone Duke even though they ar young they will have the ability to light you up from outside and if that happens I dont see Michigan staying close Second major reason is I can not remember a time outside of the dance when a team knocked off two top ten teams in two days so I will take the Blue Devils to the bank tonight!
Second Play:
Notre Dame -3.5 vs. Georgia : Both Teams struggled last night but I think that is right where Georgia is as a team well with Notre Dame I see a ton of Potential going forward tonight so I will take the Irish minus a few baskets!
Best of Luck to ALL Keep Getting those Paper Cuts!
Posted Monday, November 21, 2011 05:36 PM
Okay boys dont have a lot of time gotta make this quick! YTD is 5-5
Todays PLAYS
Texas -2.5 : good rebound spot for them today after OT loss.
Oregon State +7.5 : big momentum game for them last outing I dont see them losing big so I will take the points!
Kansas-5 : Georgetown will be in very tough tonight and I dont think they are ready for this caliber opponent this early in the year!
Good luck to all get those paper cuts!
Posted Saturday, November 19, 2011 10:50 AM
Okay Folks ARe you ready for the Weekend and making this dough? 2-0 yesterday pushing my YTD record on posted plays to 4-4!
Todays Plays are as Follows: ( remebember it is a long race look for value in a game dont play the board)
South Florida -2.5 vs. Old Dominion : South Florida is a talented bunch who likes to score and Old Dominion likes to be more patient with there sets however I see South Florida dictating play at home and pulling away early second half once they figure out how to push the ball with out being out of control against discplined Old Dom team! So I am taking South Florida minus the points here!
Butler +4.5 vs. Louisville: Simply put this one is in Butler, Louisville is with out two starters for todays game and will be stretched thin once they get in foul trouble which they often due due to there press d. Butler may not be as strong as last year but this could be a good spot for them to catch Lousville so I am taking he points and Butler to the Bank.
Long Beach State vs. SD State -2 : Huge let down spot here for LB state coming off win in Pitt, and SD State may have lost some front players from last year but there replacemtns are filling in well and I think the line is low simply because of LB state winning in Pitt and all I CAN say to that is every once in a while a blind squirrell will find a nut too! so I am taking the Azteks to the Bank as well!
Enjoy ... [More]

Okay boys went one and one yesterday on my posted plays pushing my ytd to 2-4 gotta keep grinding and I know the page will turn!
First Play today is up early:
Purdue -1 vs. Temple : I just dont see the Owls being as defensive a they have been in the past and if you try to score with Purdue in a up tempo game then I think you lose I also think the line is low due to the battle with Iona but Iona is a good team so I will take the Boilermakers in this spot!
Second Play of the day is:
Stanford -10 : got this line early and I like the Cardinals a lot here! they like to score and I dont see UC Davis as a capable opponent at this time iin the year to stop anything the Cardinals Try so I will take the double digit line in this spot tonight!
Those are my only two plays for the day gotta remember it is a long race and long season!
Two Leans : LSU -8 vs. Western Ky. :Western Ky. is horrible at shooting the ball and I could see this as ugly from start to finish if LSU shows up. however I am not totallyy convinced as LSU is young and could be in a let down spot here or under estimate Wetern Ky so it is just a lean and will stay that way.
Cleveland St -6 vs. Saint bonny's: Cleveland State is coming off a huge win vs. a very good Miss State bulldog team which handles A&M farily easily last night so that tells me that State is a capable and goo... [More]

Okay well split yesterday with Texas Tech barely missing the cover and then Oregon State barely covering. That pushes my YTD record to 1-3 starting off tough but I am sure I will get it back it is a long long season and I am just gonna stay rue to my system!
Today I Have two Plays and they are as follows.
Texas A&M - 4 : Love the Aggies in this spot they catch a Bulldogs team who's Best Player is not one hundred percent. ( Renaldo Sidney) and it is a neutral site so no home crowd to keep you in it or push A&M early I see A&M pulling away early second half and not looking back.
Arizona -2 : Arizona is maybe not where they should be yet as a team but the way Fogg has played so far indicates to me that the Red Storm Gaurds simply can not gaurd him look for him to penetrate and dish all day! So Like the way the Wild Cats stack up tonight even though the Red Storm pretty much has home court the Wild Cats are 11-1 in there last twelve at MSG
Best of Luck to everyone tonight! Get those paper cuts from dollar bills people!

Well after getting the season under way by getting extrmely jobbed yesterday, first play was duke and we all know they should have had that covered easily and refs let fouls go un called at the end but oh well that is the nature of the beast and second play was the GameCocks who seemed to of played with cock in hand and lost straight up to Elon! Anyways back to the grind here are todays plays.
YTD 0-2 (its a long year got to remeber that)
Texas Tech -7 : look for them to destroy the green machine of north texas close for the first half but the red raiders will pull away early in the second.
Oregon State - 9.5 : Hofstra lost all time leading scorer and probably there best rebounder, the Beavers are off to there best start in a long time and seem to be clicking right now!
Now get those paper cuts and catch you all on the flip!

That is right people the Paper Cut Edition is back!!!
With NFL Sunday kicking off today I am once again going to be posting plays. I will always state my year to date record as well folks just know that what I play on here is my actual be card! anyways folks I look forward to all your input this year as well as getting those paper cuts! Now enough with the small talk here are todays plays!
Indy -2 vs Houston : The play here is for obvious reasons. although the texans look much improved and will be a team to reckon with all year, they tend to struggle against the Colts, I mean they are always so close yet can not win the game, I dont see them taking that hurdle in the first week of the season and anytime Peyton Manning and company only need to win by a field goal I will take my chances! So the play ono this one is the Colts minus the 2 points!
Detroit vs Bears -6 1/2 : In my opinion Jay Cutler is and always was over rated! Not only that he has shown us that in the pre season he is having a tough time grasping Mike Martz'z Offensive scheme? That being said I believe, yes I believe the Lions have added some key pieces to the puzzle and I think Stafford and company will not only cover the line but will win outright! however it is the Lions so I will play it semi Safe and take the LIONS plus the Points!
Carolina vs Giants - 6 1/2 : The P... [More]
