well, believe it or not, yesterday I had a good day (I only posted some plays and went 3-6 in plays I posted). I didn't post any plays after those, but I ended up playing
Pitt (1-unit), Syracuse (1-unit), Syracuse OVER (1-unit), UTEP/Houston OVER (2-units), Cal (1-unit), Boston College (4-units)

I ended with a record of 11-8 for a winning day

Year To Date: 85-60

all lines come from Bet Jamaica - The Player's Paradise

Early Play (s):
2-unit Play:
Michigan State -7
Minnesota is 1-4 ATS in its last 5 games when playing Michigan State
Minnesota is 0-5 SU in its last 5 games when playing Michigan State
1st meeting b/n the two teams:
12/31/2008 Wed MICHS 70 MINN 58
2nd meeting b/n the two teams:
02/04/2009 Wed MINN 47 MICHS 76
Is it hard for a team to beat another 3 times in one season? I think it depends on the teams...and in this case MSU is the far superior team in the match-up (unfortunately I thought the same thing yesterday about Kansas). One difference b/n MSU and Kansas is that MSU has better leadership and isn't as young and inexperienced as Kansas. MSU is playing for a high seed in the big This should be a good game and and if MSU covers it helps the case for them!

back with more as the day rolls on

2-unit play:
ALABAMA +7
Alabama has absolutely owned this rivalry lately, going 7-3 SU and 9-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings, and the SU winner is also 9-1 ATS in the last 10 clashes.
The Crimson Tide are on ATS rolls of 6-1 overall (all in the SEC), 6-1 against winning teams and 6-1 at neutral sites, and this is the fourth time in the past six years they’ve reached the second round of the SEC tourney, but they’ve failed to get out of this round the previous three tries (1-1-1 ATS).
The Vols are a dismal 7-17-1 ATS in their last 25 neutral-site games, and they are on a 1-6 ATS slide in their last seven SEC tournament games (2-5 SU).

2-unit play:
UCLA -6
UCLA is riding a five-game winning streak (4-0-1 ATS) after Thursday’s 64-53 victory over Washington State, covering as an 8 ½-point chalk. Ben Howland’s team, which avenged its most recent defeat with the victory, held the Cougars to 29.1 percent shooting from the field and got 15 points from senior point guard Darren Collison. The Bruins’ 4-0-1 ATS surge comes after an 0-4 ATS dip, and the SU winner is now 12-1-1 ATS in the team’s last 14 games.
The Bruins swept the regular season series against the Trojans (2-0 SU and ATS) and they have won four straight, six of seven and nine of 11 in this rivalry.
UCLA is back to its stifling D and should get another win tonight!

here's the rest of my card for today....off to work so I don't even get to see the games BOO HOO!!!

1-unit plays:
Boston College/Duke OVER 144.5
For Boston College, the under is on tears of 5-0 overall (all in the ACC) and 5-1 on neutral courts, and the under for Duke is on rolls of 24-11 overall, 8-1 at neutral sites and 15-5 within the ACC. However, the over is on 8-0 stretches for both squads when playing against winning teams, and the total has cleared the posted price in the last eight meetings in this rivalry.

Penn St. +7
The Boilermakers have gotten bounced in the first round of this event in six of the last seven years, going 2-5 ATS in those contests. That includes last year’s 74-67 overtime loss to Illinois as a 4½-point chalk. Despite yesterday’s rout of Indiana, Penn State is just 2-8 SU in the Big Ten tournament since 2001, but the Nittany Lions are 7-0 ATS in their last seven in this event (6-0 ATS as an underdog).
Penn State is 7-3 ATS in its last 10 on Friday, while Purdue is 5-2 ATS in its last seven Friday outings, but the Boilers have failed to cover in five of their last six at neutral venues.
