32-22 on the year (+ 64 units)
i promised i would break down the record by * rating and will have that done later tongiht, in the meantime---->
6-0 on 10*'s
3-1 on 5*'s
10* Lsu (-5.5) vsNew Orleans--->i am sure a lot of you looked at this line and thought 'huh?????'...usually that means new orleans win the game, but not here.........the explanation is simple, Lsu's last game like this was at houston where they were beaten soundly (much worse than the score)..........that was lsu's first game away from home where they were obviously disinterested.......they are not going to let that happen again against a new orleans team who basically sucks........that game has given us line value as the line here should be 13 or more.......new orleans has not beaten a top 200 team this year, and have lost by 34,18, 28, and 15 to similar opponents...lsu knows if they lose this, that come tourney time, that will be 2 in 'bad loss' category........if lsu comes out and plays hard, this will never be close.......if they are flat and disinterested again, they still cover...........
5*Notre dame (+10) vs Pitt---->yes, pitt is the better team but after a big road win in overtime, i expect pitt to be a bit flat even though it is a big monday game. notre dame comes back with basically the same team as last year and witht homas and francis, could actually pull the upset
just like the pick against creighton last night(although i think pitt is one of the 5 best team in america), the longer these teams stay undefeated, 1)the harder it is to win, 2)the more prepared the opponent will be to be the one to knock them off, and 3)cbb in not cfb, a 1 point win is the same as a 40 point win and that is all pitt wants
also was looking at air force b/c they are a good team against a csu team without its best player but at (even), we have lost the line value
good luck to all
