I love this thread. But I'm not touching CBB until December. Too early for me to get good reads on who is good/ who isn't/ teams tendencies.

CFB has some great lines right now that allow for some profit if you wanna dig a bit.

 

[CH_Spider]

St. Joe's -18.5

 

[8legs1dream]

Georgia Tech is only a 4.5 favorite at HOME over Umass-Lowell, how are there so many terrible basketball teams in the ACC.

 

[spider23]

Umass-Lowell has been pretty good last few years, but yes that is not a great representation of GA tech. Mark Price and Dennis Scott apparently aren't walking through that door.

 

[CH_Spider]

St. Joe's -18.5 was EASY money

 

[SFspidur]

Lowell had a 9 point lead over GT evaporate over the past few minutes. Now up only a bucket in crunch time.

 

[Eight Legger]

The A10 should kick UMass out and bring UMass Lowell in. Better program, honestly.

 

[SFspidur]

Lowell gets the 74–71 win.

 

[spider23]

I'll take Richmond +5.5 (L)

 

[Spider-Law]

UMASS easily covers and I return to .500.

Current record: 4-4.

Today's pick: THE HAWK (-18.5) over Stonehill.

Saint Joe's ROLLS and I'm up over the .500 mark.

Current record: 5-4.

Today's pick: VCU (-6.5) over Radford. The Rams are still smarting from that first loss and looking to right the ship. Radford has played well so far, but this screams 10 point VCU win at home.

 

[CH_Spider]

Tonight's plays:

Canisius +10.5 @ Cleveland State
Nebraska -15.5 vs Stony Brook
Northern Arizona +13.5 @ Seattle

 

[spiderman]

Tonight's plays:

Canisius +10.5 @ Cleveland State
Nebraska -15.5 vs Stony Brook
Northern Arizona +13.5 @ Seattle

and the answer is ... "who are 6 teams I've never seen play basketball?".

 

[spider23]

Hmm, liking the looks of Canisius - they played Syracuse tough for awhile the other night and won at Bonnies. And Kenpom has this as 7 point spread. What could go wrong. Hopefully I don't jinx you here, but in on Canisius +10.5. (W)

I'm sure I'll find out their best player didn't travel to the game.

 

[8legs1dream]

taking Long Island U +40.5 at UCLA 👀

 

[urmite]

and the answer is ... "who are 6 teams I've never seen play basketball?".

Really? You missed Mouse McFadden and Cleveland ST play Navy and David Robinson in the 1986 Sweet Sixteen? They lost by 1…

They beat Indiana in the first round, then in the second round, they beat the same St Joe’s that beat us by 1.

taking Long Island U +40.5 at UCLA 👀

They just lost to Pepperdine by 35, will probably come down to whether UCLA's bench players get tire

 

[SFspidur]

UCLA was losing to Lafayette in the second half before the Leopards went scoreless for 10 minutes. They scored a grand total of 5 points in the final 13:17.

 

[SFspidur]

Grasso is resigning.

Martelli, Jr. unsurprisingly got the promotion from interim.

Bryant names Phil Martelli Jr. head men's basketball coach

One core betting rule I always follow. Take the underdog. The points or the ML, that's where best odds r.

I break the rule often. Although generally it's when i bet favorites of teams I dislike, or against my own teams. E.g. there's a BC/VCU ML parlay coming tonight. U can't do just points there u could get doubly screwed.

 

[CH_Spider]

Canisius is only down 1 at halftime to Cleveland State

 

[CH_Spider]

On a more positive note, Canisius just had an incredible back door cover!

 

[Spider-Law]

Saint Joe's ROLLS and I'm up over the .500 mark.

Current record: 5-4.

Today's pick: VCU (-6.5) over Radford. The Rams are still smarting from that first loss and looking to right the ship. Radford has played well so far, but this screams 10 point VCU win at home.

VCU wins (and covers) handily.

Current record: 6-4.

Today's pick: AIR FORCE (-16.5) over Lindenwood.

 

[Spiders4ever]

4-4
St Johns -3.5

 

[CH_Spider]

After a 3-0 night, I've moved to 8-7. Time to do some research for tonight

 

[8legs1dream]

taking Long Island U +40.5 at UCLA 👀

too easy 😎

3-2

nothing catching my eye today. I am surprised at Umass-Lowell being just a 5.5 point underdog at Arizona State now maybe they are better than Umass haha

 

[spider23]

On a more positive note, Canisius just had an incredible back door cover!

Went 1-1. I should have went with the BC/VCU money line parlay as the guru GK provided .

 

[Spiders4ever]

4-4
St Johns -3.5

Loss 4-5

Time for a reset

 

[CH_Spider]

Killed it yesterday!
Vermont ML
Coastal Carolina +9.5

 

[Spider-Law]

VCU wins (and covers) handily.

Current record: 6-4.

Today's pick: AIR FORCE (-16.5) over Lindenwood.

Air Force wins by 18 to get the cover.

Current record: 7-4.

Today's pick: JMU (-6.5) over Radford.

 

[CH_Spider]

Today's picks:

Saint Louis +4.5 vs Vermont
Georgia +7.5 vs Miami
Wake Forest -4.5 vs Towson

 

[8legs1dream]

Gamecocks -4.5 over DePaul, this game starts after my bedtime so I will have to see how it turned out in the morning 🤣

 

[8legs1dream]

they just barely covered so up to 4-2 now. The SEC had a pretty underwhelming showing in general yesterday.

 

[CH_Spider]

Went 1-2 yesterday…. Need to right the ship today.

 

[spider23]

Give me some winners today CH

I am taking BC -5.5 (W)
Reasoning: 1)According to this board and the BC fans - they are really really good this year.
2) Situational Play - Harvard coming off an OVERTIME, BACK to BACK games (rest advantage huge to BC here), In State Rival.

BC should win big, unless they are a mediocre, bottom dweller ACC team.

And I forgot, one of the issues we were to face - even though this game is in the Boston area, Harvard will not be familiar with the sight lines. Though their should be a few more warm bodies in the arena.

 

[Spiders4ever]

Reset accomplished

4-5

Georgetown -8-5
Princeton- 7
VCU- 10.5
Rutgers-13.5

I suspect that I will be 4-9 after todays games

 

[8legs1dream]

you are a brave man going in on Georgetown like that!
