Everybody ready for a monster card today? I plan to keep the looks going throughout the day as new games are coming up, but here are my early leans:

Iowa St. pk
Dayton +12
Charlotte -2
N Iowa -3.5

also worth a good look, imo:
St Bonnie +10
Penn pk
LSU - 6.5
Ok St +1
George mason - 5
Rice - 9.5
Boise St - 4.5
Pacific -2

Lots to look at, but a little leg work could make for a big day.
So, what's everyone liking?

Nice looks, Hungry. GTown = easy cover.

I need some help on the early games.
Added Wright St. +11 (1u)
Need some good frontcourt play and some bench production, and hopefully some foul trouble for Butler - 2 out of 3 will get this cover.

<<edit>> Butler off to fast start - really need that bench and foul trouble now.

Added: Charlotte -2 (bought .5) 1.5 u

Big cards can be trouble for me, so going to back up and find max. 4 more good games and hit them the way they should be hit.

I got a ticket to the St. Joe's/Penn game, so I'm gonna do a quick write up before leaving.

UCLA -3.5
Northern Iowa -3.5
Cal Poly +2.5
----------------
I'm not going to bet this game, since I don't bet on my squad, but for those betting on Penn, I really think St. Joe's will cover at +2. if not win out right.

Despite having problems with Oregon St., I think UCLA will cover this game easily. They are 3-1 ATS on the road (21-12 ATS on the road over the last 5 years). They were 13-8 ATS v. teams with a winning record, and 7-3 ATS on Saturdays last year. Oregon St., on th other hand, was 4-8 ATS off a loss to a conference rival [Lost 70-72 to USC in OT].

Northern Iowa is 19-9 ATS v. teams with a winning record last year (Drake 11-10) and are 11-5-1 ATS this year [6-2 away]. Meanwhile, Drake is 3-3-1 ATS at home this year and 12-20 ATS at home since '01-'02. Northern Iown destroyed Drake 91-72 last week.

Cal Poly has been a great team for me so far this season. They are a great cover team (11-3 ATS) despite being only 5-12. CSU-Northridge is just the opposite (3-9-1 ATS). My girlfriend goes to CalPoly, so I'm making sure she goes for the sixth man advantage.

I could add a few more games as I keep searching...

Hoping not to need the hook in either game.

GL on that N Iowa pick Kilng. I just couldn't get on it because Drake has a nice roster (real good guards; 2 top 300 forwards) while NI is a little thinned out. Think all it would take is decent shooting from Drake.

Might hit Portland +19.5 at Gonzaga... Last 5 meetings, there hasn't been more than 16 pt diff, avg 12 pt diff. Portland only has 1 20+ loss this year, and Gonzaga only has 1 20+ win.

<<edit>> whew, Wright St. covered.

Adding Boise St -4 (bought .5) 1 u
Might pop it one more u.

NBA Char/Wash under 196

Anybody bet Loyola MD ? Quite a game.
Oh btw, I f*king can't stand Kansas.

Tx for getting me off the fence on UCLA, fellas. That's 2x now.
I'm pulling for your Vols.
Added Pacific -2.5 1 u
...but didn't find out until after that over 70% of the $ is on Pacific and the line hasn't moved at all. That makes me kinda nervous.

Itching to smack down on UVA +19, but don't think so.

Nice going Hungry. Kilng 2-3. B's up.
F*ing 'Nova, that's all there is to say bout that.
Cmon Texas.
Added:
Loyola Marymount +1.5 1.5 u

I'm discounting the recent outcomes here, since Pepperdine is a different team, starting 2 freshmen and a soph. Thinking that LMU matches up nicely w/ Pepp's bigs - they're more experienced and playing true to position. Their rebounding #'s are better in conf.
Even if you call the frontcourt a push, LMU's veteran guards should get them this W. LMU avg 16 assists per game v Pepp's 9.
Found something interesting -- 42 is the key # in this game. Every LMU win but 1, they've shot +42%. every loss but 1, they've shot -42%. And, Pepperdine has given up +42% in every loss but 1. LMU started slow, but is now shooting 47% in conf. Pepp is giving up 44.4% shooting in conf.

Might look at one more late game.

I just got back from the Penn/St. Joe's game... what a game! I made it back just in time to make 3 more selections for west coast games.

UNLV -7.5
Nevada -7.5
San Diego +4

Went 2-1 in the day games... Metaxy, you were right about NIU... almost covered, though.
