Two Huge NCAA Picks + NHL + NBA

[3ebRocks]

Good Afternoon.

Went a combined 11-5 yesterday in all sports which I am thrilled about.

Breakdown went like this

NCAA Football: 3-4
3-4. 3 of the 4 losses involved MAC teams. I hate that conference and will be ignoring from now on. Hit my big 5 unit play on Boise State. Plus 2.2 Units on the day.

NHL
4-1. Nailed my big GOM#2, an easy winner over in the 2nd period. Went 3-1 in regular two unit plays. Plus 11.6 Units on the day.

NBA
4-0. Ventured into the NBA for the first time this season on BC and swept the board!!!!!!!! Plus 8 units on the day.

Plus 22 Units all sports and looking to continue that today. No time for writeups today but I am posting another 5 Unit huge play (huge for me as I rate my plays 1-3 units normally but step out to play games I love, as with Boise yesterday and SJ/Dallas Over in NHL).

Starting before 6pm. Will be back later with the night card. Here is what I like

356 Rice +3 5 Units
Small writeup on this one. Home team dominates this series lately holding a 6-2 ATS mark. Also, Rice is a solid home team going 5-0 SU and 4-1 ATS this year while, conversely, Houston is 1-4 ATS on the road and only 2-3 SU. Both teams are over .500 in conference, but Rice is a solid 6-1 ATS and Houston is just a game over the mark. Houston has won 3 straight against Rice, needing comebacks of 10+ points the last two years to win late, but have not won 4 straight in this series in 16 years and I dont think they break that streak today. Both teams have a shot at the CUSA West title so both should be focused. Love the home team here as I think the wrong team is favored.


349 Texas Tech -22
Texas Tech won 12 straight against BU by an average of 30ppg. I think this is their best team yet, certainly their best defensive team, and will return to form after last week's drubbing. Baylor is 0-15 SU and 4-11 ATS vs. ranked opponents their last 15 and have been beaten by an average of 28 pts per game in that span. I would lay 22 if Texas Tech were on the road. Think the line is way too small here.

367 Marshall +16

352 Memphis -14

341/342 Maryland/Boston College
Of all the games to post an over on, I almost cant believe that this is the one it has come down to. But I like it, therefore I am posting.

My other 5 unit selection is going tonight and I just want to fine tune my thoughts before I post.

NHL

3/4 Chicago/LA Kings Over 5 1/2 -125

Good luck everyone!

Posting rest of NHL Selections

Hoping the eek out a win in the Hawks game as its 3-2 in the 3rd period.

Here is what I like in the NHL:

5/6 Philadelphia/Toronto Over 6 -120
To be honest with you I have lost about 7 Philly over tries in a row. I didnt bet 7 Philly games in a row that went under, I just mean that the 7 that I did bet throughout this early part of the season have gone under. Hoping Toronto is the tonic.

9/10 Washington/Columbus Over 5 1/2 -120
4 out of the last 5 in the series have gone over. Both teams score and give up 3+ goals per game. Washington 6-1 to the over on the road this season, Columbus 6-3 to the over at home this season. Its been an over series in Columbus over the last three seasons and I look for that to continue.

15 New Jersey Devils +145
Devs own Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh. And yea that was with Marty in net, but I will take a shot at this price.

19/20 SJ/Phoenix Over 5 1/2 +100
SJ hitting overs at a 60+% rate. I am going to keep playing them until that rate drops. I look for it to increase tonight against the Desert Dogs.

23/24 Vancouver/Calgary Over 5 1/2 -110
This series has seen the last 5 go over. No Luongo is a bonus.

As you can see I dont play many unders. I just dont like them. I mentioned in a thread earlier in the week that my last 11 games in which I needed an empty netter to push it over the total or at least tie, no empty netter. Well, wouldnt you know it yesterday in Minnesota I had the under 5. It was 3-2 and I was hoping push. Nope, empty netter. I also dont like rooting against goals. I have the Center Ice package and watch many of the games. And also, I do handicap and come up with numerous unders on a nightly basis. I only post them though when they would be the equivalent of a 3 Unit play. And even then I post them as 2 units. I know nobody cares, just didnt want anybody that may read a thread of mine to think I just throw up a bunch of overs and hope they hit. Thats not close to the case.

Anyway, best of luck everyone and be back soon with football and basketball. Good luck all!

NBA 7pm Start

505/506 Indiana/Orlando Over 202

[LVJimmy]

Any thoughts on other big game?

[3ebRocks]

Now that you mention it Jimmy,

My other 5 Unit Huge play is

363 Oklahoma -9 5 Units

This is more of a pro Oklahoma play than any type of anti State play. I know this play goes against some great handicappers up here. Handicappers that I read on a regular basis and always respect and sometimes follow. In the past few hours though I have seen some more great cappers come up here on OU evening it out a bit and the public money seems to be on OU. I can put up some strong trends here showing while OU should cover, but if I did that I would also have to mention some equally strong stats on State's side so I will not mention either. What I will say is this. I liken it a bit to the Thanksgiving Day game between Tennessee and Detroit. I understand pros and colleges have little in common but I based my Tennessee play having little to do with the Titans and much to do with Detroit's ineptness. Well, in the OU/OSU game I am basing my selection on the fact that I believe OU is heads and shoulders above any team in the country with the exception of Texas. And certainly a touchdown and a fieldgoal better than OSU. Sure the homefield will be a big advantage but OSU needs more than that. OU has scored 35 points in EVERY game and 50+ in 7 of them. They have the #1 ranked offense in the country and the #1 ranked D in the Big 12. OSU hung with Texas AT Texas and Texas beat OU. But anyone that watched that Texas/OSU knows that Texas went through the motions. And a team that OU just absolutely humiliated, in turn, humiliated OSU. Huge stage here. Coach Gundy at OSU is 0-7 facing OU as a player and coach (he was the Cowboys QB 86-89). Cowboys backers will point to their 6-0 SU and ATS mark at home, but I will point to the fact that it was against Iowa State, Baylor, Texas A&M, Troy, Missouri State and Houston. Not 1 impressive foe on that list. Point being, OU is a touchdown and a fg better than OSU regardless of the stadium.

Good Luck All!

Two more NBA selections, both are totals

I like these: 517/518 NJ/Utah Over 209 1/2 and 519/520 Dallas/Sac Over 207 1/2. Both regular plays to finish of today's selections. Good luck all! ... doing this post from my phone so if anybody actually is reading this, accept my apologies for the spacing here.
