INDIANA +1’ Michigan
State

Whiny Mike Davis, the lame duck Indiana
coach is right about one thing. His Indiana
team is still in contention.  It’s not so
much this year, but the cumulative of Davis
second year on that forced him to resign. 
But they are 6-1 SU at home in the conference and getting points from a
team that is 2-5 SU in the conference with one of the wins in OT.

The home team is a combined 23-4 SU in the two teams conference games. Davis
may not be liked by the boosters, but we look for the players to respond and
expect the fans to handle themselves with class in Davis
last home game and send him out a winner.

Michigan State’s
offense has seemed worn down in its last three losses, particularly its 3-point
shooting. In defeats to Minnesota,
Iowa and Ohio
State
, the Spartans shot a woeful
11-of-47 (23 percent) from beyond the arc. The team averaged 59 points in those
three games, well below their season average of 76.4.

GEORGE MASON -24 James Madison

True there is plenty of leeway for Mason to win but not
cover.  However Mason is 8-0 SU in the
conference at home with most huge blowouts, Jimmy is 1-7 on the road in the
conference but with blowout city after blowout city.  In conference location comparison (home
team’s home stats, road team’s road stats) Mason has humungous advantages on
both ends of the court in shooting percentage.

Defensively they allow 12.2 percent less and hit 8.8
more.  These are huge edges.  All signs point towards a 30 point rout.

Line Shopping

Your Handicapper Told You, You Better Shop Around

Joe Duffy (www.godspicks.com)

How many times have you lost a game by a point or
half-point?  How many times have you
pushed a game?  How often do you buy a
half-point?  What=s
the point?  The answer my friend is
blowing in the Awin@. 
It may sound punny, but this article will keep
you in the money.

Successful betting = good handicapping + diligent line
shopping. It does not matter whether you hit 57-percent of your plays or just
flip a coin, getting the most beneficial line possible will pay huge dividends
over the long run. I have heard gamblers actually say something like, AIf it=s
a good play, it should cover an extra point or so.@  Okay, I suppose that gambler has never had a
bet decided by a point.  But remember
what I love to say:  we need other
gamblers to subsidize the books for us.

I know of several wagerers who
destroyed local guys just by playing the offshore steam moves from Don Best=s premium service.  The local guy would drive around in his van
getting his lines every 20 minutes or so from one of those archaic call-in line
services, oblivious to real-time steam moves. 
The aforesaid bettors, who beat the local guys with steam moves,
literally did no handicapping in collecting mightily.  They just beat their local guy into oblivion
by using a sharper line than their stogie-smoking sports account
representative. 

I know of several major sportsbooks that do not want to be
listed on the real-time odds services simply so they do not have to deal with
sharp high rollers.

Sportsbooks are very timid to budge a pointspread
when the line in football is three, seven or ten up or within a half-point up
or down to such numbers.  A half-point
line move can have mammoth ramifications on which team the gamblers bet is on
and very possibly the ATS result.

With the books so concerned about a half-point line
movement, why would you not be so diligent in shopping for the most beneficial
line?

It is very possible that hypothetically two people could
bet matching plays using the same money management skills, but have different
line shopping skills and thus have two significantly dissimilar records and ROIs. Thus after you obtain Godspicks.com selections, you
can still augment your prize money deeply.

Just because you=ve become a young bettor now, there=s
some things that you don=t
understand now.  Before you ask some guy
for his lines now, keep your betting options as long as you can now.  Godspicks.com told you, you better shop
around.

ST. PETER’S -7 Canisius

Emotion is very tough to manufacture because it must be
genuine.  In college sports even more
than professional, it’s difficult to counter.

St. Pete’s will have an extra homecourt advantage as Keydren Clark, the best player nobody
heard of plays his final home game. Yet there is an extra stimulus for him. His
best friend and former teammate, George Jefferson, died last June of the same
heart condition that took the lives of former star players Reggie Lewis and
Hank Gathers.

Clark said he plans to wear two of Jefferson’s
accessories, an elbow pad and a leg sleeve, on Friday night to honor his
friend.

“He won’t be there physically to share it with me, but I
know he’ll be looking down on me,” Clark said. “I’m just
thankful and blessed that I had George in my life. We started out as friends,
then grew to be best friends and then we started doing everything together,
workouts, going to the movies, going to parties. We did everything two brothers
would do.”

The road has not been kind to Canisius. The Griffs have lost five straight on the road, all of which
were conference games. Canisius is 3-9 on the road this season, including 2-5
in conference games.  Also it’s not like
they can counter the emotion with extra focus on Clark.
Canisius is set to play against the third (Andre Collins) and fourth (Keydren Clark) leading scorers in the country this weekend.
It will be Senior Day for both players when the Griffs
come calling.
