    It's on TNT, it better be a good, close game. Which I think it will. There's plenty of other COLLEGE games we can flip through so they'll keep it close.

    And I'm not touching the second half of the Clip game even though I want to play the under so bad.

    Mixture of a couple of things...

    Bulls have lost the last 7/10 games...
    76'ers are 2-1 in the last 3 visits to Chicago...
    Bulls are 1-5 ATS in its last six home games against clubs with losing road records...

    and MAINLY just gut feeling. ;)

    Lol, luv it.... Anybody considering LAL -10 vs T-Wolves or is the over the play here? I think LAL is desperate and will be looking to come out strong this game and a blowout could ensue. But I hate taking the Lakers spread because of D12's poor ft shooting is a spread killer.

    Edit: Added Lakers -10

    Honestly Dogs have been hitting at a crazy rate as of late. I'm thinking Lakers in a blowout, but I'm laying low that game.

    The wolves game is interesting. Kirilenko being out is going to hurt them even further. Lakers should blow them out barring a huge game by barea or ridnour. I took lakers -6 first half. Also I think pekovic will struggle with Howard. Really bad matchup for wolves.

    It's not you, it's Philly lol. They're just horrendous right now... learned my lesson tonight, there won't be another cent going on Philly no matter what the line is for a while.

    Any leans for today guys?

    So far I'm looking at LAC -7.5, Boston -4, Memphis +8, Utah -9, & Denver +2, but I'm only looking to make 1 or 2 plays tonight.

    I won good money on hockey last night so today I'm just making a few small plays. Don't really have time to do much research, mainly gut feelings.

    Houston -8
    Indiana -2
    Hornets -3
    Miami/Memphis OVER 186

    Raptors +1.5- toronto is coming off some poor games but has had some days to practice and regroup. Sold out friday night crowd to back them. Pacers on a back to back.

    Knicks -2.5 at Wizards- knicks already lost once at washington. don't see it happening again. Knicks are starting to put it together for the stretch run. They wont blow this game

    Spurs -14.5 vs Sac- This is a huge line but with good reason. Spurs coming off a horrible home loss. Kings are on a long road trip . Spurs discipline is a nightmare for the undisciplined kings. The kings can surprise teams that have less structure. Not the spurs off a loss.

    I'll be on Memphis too. As someone who watches almost every Heat game, I'd be surprised if Miami covers this spread... Memphis is one of those teams that gives them a ton of trouble with size.

    Raptors is a pretty sharp play. GL tonight

    Haven't had a chance to look at the nba lines yet, but I got one I'm gonna take for college. Honestly hate betting ivy league games. I know nothing about any of these teams, but I'm just playing this based on line movement and percentage of people betting a team. If you bet college, take brown (+5) versus Cornell and you won't be disappointed. No write up, since I know nothing about these teams, but they match the criteria I look for when betting based solely on percentages and numbers. Don't want to go into detail.

    College

    Brown (+5)

    Probably will be my last college pick posted since I don't think many of you bet college.

    Will be back later with nba plays if I have enough time.

    Something tells me Memphis is going to be blown out. Memphis has size but also relies on turnovers from other teams. The memphis bigs will do well in half court but will get killed in open court. Will be interesting to see how this game goes

    Adding

    NBA

    Golden st. (+4). They'll win outright tonight.

    New York knicks (-3) looks like a trap, but I think not. Vegas gives us this one, and takes it back tomorrow. Lol

    Toronto (+2) kind of want to think the same as above, but this is a trap. No way Indy loses two in a row. I think they do.

    Edit: adding Houston rockets -4.5. 1st half. Last play for today I promise. Lol

    Gonna parlay brown+ golden st. + new York + Toronto for the heck of it. Good luck. Comments?

    Lol good luck. And I agree with everything you said about Memphis. I think they'll get blown out tonight. I don't think they have the offense to match up with Miami. Memphis loves to grind it out and make it a defensive battle. Miami has enough offense to exploit that, and Memphis will be playing catch up all day.

    Edit: looks like we're on the same page today. Good luck to us! Lol

    Lol, I might blindly follow the brown game too.

    I'm on my phone, but I'll try to include some brief write-ups after I do some research for my nba picks later.
