Wednesday plays:
2* Washington State -10
1* Texas -10
1*Eastern Kentucky -9
1* BYU pick
1* Illinois +6
I knew that Michigan line was strange last night but when Michigan had a 15 point lead with 13 minutes to go, i thought we outsmarted Vegas, but not to be. Also, Auburn played it’s worst game of the year against the worst team. I watched the game and Bruce Pearl was livid with the effort of his team. 20 turnovers and a bunch of missed layups led to only scoring 67 points, a pathetic effort when they could have won by 50. A 2* play tonight as an improved Washington st team plays a bad Idaho team. WSU is still a bad Pac 12 team but are still way ahead of Idaho who is in a rebuilding phase this year. Missed an opportunity last night to go against Radford who just pulled the road upset at Texas as James Madison beat Radford last night as a home dog, still pissed about missing that one. Texas rebounds tonight over an average VCU team. Taking the home teams with Eastern Kentucky, BYU and Illinois, if you keep betting them they will cover eventually.
Tuesday”s plays:
1* Auburn -36
1* Kansas -16
1* Clemson -21
1* Michigan -5
1* Syracuse -12
Michigan would have been a 2* play but the line makes no sense. Michigan is undefeated and their closest game has been 17 points and they beat Villanova by 27, North carolina by 17 and Purdue by 19. Game seems fishy to me. Auburn has played great all year and has demolished poor teams by 43, 50 and 51. NC Ashville is awful, 103-47 final. Wofford is a decent team but Kansas is due for a big win. Clemson lost their last home game to Nebraska by two points and that was 8 days ago. St Peter’s is just what the tigers need. Northeastern is missing one of their star players tonight against Syracuse. One more thing, UCONN is anywhere from a 49-52 point favorite over the lady billikens tonight, game is on CBS sports network at 6:00.
Monday Play:
1* Iowa +11 (starts at 5:30)
Always a tough battle and Iowa just lost a close one to Wisconsin, I’ll grab the points here.
Saturday’s plays:
1* Maryland -6 4:00
1* Loyola Chicago -4 3:00
1* Virginia tech -24 4:00
1* Miami Fla -9 6:30
1* BYU -4 8:00
1* Oregon +3 8:00
All of these teams lost their last game and BYU and Loyola lost their last two. By the way, Duke is favored by 43 tonight over Stetson.
Friday play:
1* Minnesota -3
This play fits good and I’m also playing Mich State -8 but it starts at 5:00 so not an official play.
No official plays tonight:
November recap- I tried to use my local knowledge during the first couple weeks of the season and apparently I know nothing about our local teams. In hindsight the way to bet the early season games is to take your top 10 teams and bet them when they are a 22-30 point favorite. That bet hit at over 70%. just last night Auburn was a 28 point fav over St. Peters and won by 50. The other night Gonzaga was a 26 point fav over north Dakota state and they won by 42. Just a couple examples and I could go on and on.
Tidbits:
If you haven’t seen Zion Williamson of Duke play, he is must see TV.
SLU plays good teams tough and lousy teams poorly.
It is going to be a long season for Mizzou.
Duke and Gonzaga are the best but Auburn and Michigan aren’t far behind.
My betting system:
After three weeks I can now implement my system and the first game was last night as the 2* on St. Joe’s covered easily (Remember, just watch the last five minutes, that is all that matters, If you watch or keep track of the whole game, you will worry and get stressed out for no reason.) Fact: I have not lost a 2* or higher game since March 2, 2017 when Old Dominion failed to cover at -2 vs UTEP winning by one 62-61(should have bet the money line) That’s 20 months ago!!
If you can bet the money line take a parlay tonight on Toronto(NBA)- NO Saints (NFL)- and Cal Santa Barbara (NCAA bball), pays about even money. A couple underdogs I would look at is Samford +9 and Georgia Southern + 10 in college hoops but nothing official tonight. Probably won’t have anything until Saturday.
