UNC -9 is odd tonight vs a 3-3 Evansville team.  They did beat Butler, but you'd think that's a low line unless UNC has a big letdown post Kentucky.

I bet this and am currently glad that I did.

[Eagles_Legendz]

Yeah odd line.  Guess vegas was expecting a letdown.  Parlay hit too.

bos +3
ny +3
no pick
sa -.5

-120 bet but again...you got to like those teams to simply win. in a game as a random beating wise as basketball, this is the safest play

$$$$$$$$$$$$

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Indeed.  I hit everything last night.  That Sweetjones guy is on a roll.

Yep.  I have indy straight up, in a teaser, and in a parlay.  Cant see Peyton losing with his season on the line vs the Titans.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I have Indy also.  Was leaning toward the under but decided to stay away.

Georgetown only favored by 2.  Not sure what to do there.

Plays tonight:

Colts -3.5
Gtown -2
Gtown/Temple o125.5
Nets/Mavs o188
Sixers +5
Portland ML (+125)

Wow--Ill be stunned if you hit that Sixers bet tonight. Stunned.

[Eagles_Legendz]

Colts have moved from 2.5 to 4 since the line opened.  I was worried that was a sucker line from Vegas' perspective, but moving it 1.5 pts in 3 days leads me to feel even better about Indy tonight.

The one line that is very, very strange to me this weekend is Seattle/SF.  SF opened -4.5.  Sportsbook has over 80% of the action going on Seattle (though you don't know the $ amounts), and instead of moving the line down, it went from 4.5 to 5.5.

i refuse to bet on nfc west games

the awfulness is impossible to dissect

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I did Seattle/Chicago moneyline parlay for Sunday.  I felt the odds were good for the price.

And don't sleep on the Sixers tonight.  Rondo banged up, Celts coming off a game last night, Sixers have been money at home and against the spread.

Agreed, I'm going absolutely no where near that game, I just thought the line movement was trying to encourage action on Seattle for some reason.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Colts -3.5 (got it this morning before the juice really hit it...its now at -130)

Colts -4 & under 44.5 parlay

[phattymatty]

giving up points and taking the under is such a hard bet.  doesn;t seem horrible for this game though.


my money on the hoyas tonight.
