Saturday 1.29.11 Look Ahead

Projected Lines

Lou @ UConn -7, O/U 143 ...tough spot for Louisville, haven't been solid on the road but not trying to lay a bunch of points with UConn in what should be a close game. uconn slightly overvalued due to late game execution, but LOU no big road wins and fouls too much. better options out there, but lean Louisville if too many points.

Gtown @ Villanova -8, O/U 146 ...is gtown back? too early to tell, won't have the guard advantage they usually enjoy in this one. think we see a very high scoring game and lean over.

Fla St @ Clemson PK, O/U 126 ...clemson playing very well and tough out at home, so would be tasty home dog.

Xavier @ Richmond -5, O/U 136 ...great spot for the Spiders. xavier hot a10 start mostly due to schedule (although offense has improved dramatically), and while dominant inside their perimiter will be exposed here. looking to lay wood with Richmond, both teams playing great offense so may look over as well.

Minnesota @ Purdue -7, O/U 137 ...good spot for purdue to bounceback, coming of embarrassing loss and payback. big 10 games have been flying OVER so look over as well.

Florida @ Miss St +10, O/U 138 ...lines might be catching up with poor bulldogs, but tough to make a case to back them against road warrior gators. florida not afraid to slow pace down so look under if total close to 140.

Colorado @ Baylor -2, O/U 145 ...looking over here as both offenses can score and pace shouldn't be too possessive. baylor cannot be trusted right now, neither can colorado on the road.

Texas A&M @ Nebraska Pk, O/U 125 ...nebraska great at home and height should give aggie offense problems. also a look ahead spot. would love nebraska as a home dog.

NC St @ UNC -10, O/U 146 ...wheels could be coming off for nc st just as unc may be getting it together. should be a route.

Butler @ Valpo -6, O/U 135 ...butler defense complete train wreck, payback spot for valpo. love em here.

Syracuse @ Marquette -2, O/U 144 ...cuse height may cause serious problem for undersized marquette, but golden eagle offense has been solid and has perimiter shooters to beat zone. tough game, must win for both, look over.

UCLA @ Arizona St +2, O/U 133 ...doesn't get any easier for sun devils, tough loss to USC. must win for ucla and sun devils playing so bad you have to like bruins.

Georgia @ Kentucky -9, O/U 138 ...uga just can't put it all together, may hang tough but will eventually fall in payback spot.

Wisconsin @ Penn St Pk, O/U 122 ...penn st goes slow tempo and could win this, look under and nittany lions.

Ohio St @ Northwestern +8, O/U 142 ...big 10 games flying over the total and i smell an upset. been fading ohio st unsuccessfully lately, but they will eventually fall. northwesterns only chance is insane offense, so over/nw parlay is the lean.

Oregon @ Cal -9, O/U 144 ...cal is GOOD hope spread isn't too high

Colorado St @ Utah +2, O/U 150 ...colorado st not good as a favorite, hopefully get back on track here. but Utah has confidence back and could be dangerous. lean over.

Memphis @ Marshall +3, O/U 148 ...should be fast paced, marshall can get up for big game so if memphis laying too many don't be afraid of home dog, memphis clearly has gotten it together after rough start though.

Kansas St @ Kansas -11, O/U 145 ...WOODSHED ALERT! should be complete implosion by Wildcats.

USC @ Arizona -7, O/U 133 ...arizona gonna struggle to score here, look for road tested usc to keep it close and under.

UTEP @ Tulsa -1 ...utep outperforming everyone in CUSA right now but tough spot, still like them if they catching too many

West Virginia @ Cinci -4, O/U 128 ...looking under and bearcats

Pitt @ Rutgers +12 ...not afraid to back rutgers here as public will pound pitt. team has been playing much better than expectations thusfar in big east slate.

Missouri @ Texas -8, O/U 144 ...missouri just can't hang here, texas has good guards who can break press and will own the paint.
