Lines that Stink, Do you Agree?

After looking at this big card, there are some lines that just seem crazy to me. If you have one i didnt list, please post it


UAB(-12) over South Florida???
I know UAB is good this year but South Florida is 3-1 and their only loss was by 2 points at Virginia. Now Delaney is questionable and obviously not 100% and UAB is giving 12 points????


UNC(-10) at Michigan St?????
Ok UNC is the #1 team in the nation but Michigan St is #11 and was up to #6 before a very off game versus Maryland but has since rebounded with an whooping over Okie St and Wichita St. Being an IU grad, I know how tough it is to win at Michigan St no matter what kind of team they have. I thought before i saw the line, State would have a chance at SU and now they are getting 10 points???? Wow


Hofstra(-13) over Fordham?????
I know Fordham is having a bad year, but is the Gay Pride 13 points better than anyone??? Giving 13 points to a name like Fordham tells me this game is supposed to a blowout. Keeth will have a complete writeup soon on his Gay Pride's gameplan.


Wake Forest(-24) over IU??????
IU is not a good team, we all know that. They pretty much started from scratch this season but they did just destroy a very good Cornell team. They have a great coach and they can usually make any squad somewhat competitive. Wake Forest is a good team and at home but 24 points??? Seems like a gift to be giving a program like IU 24 points no matter who they are playing. Will IU lose by 40 or 50 tonight?


Vandy(-11) over Ill-Chicago?????
Not sure what to say about this game except wow, that looks like a lost of points for a Vandy team to be giving that isnt as good as they usually are.


Seina(-8) at Loyola MD????
I know Loyola lost a lot in the offseason, they still have beat Siena 4 out of the last 5 games and the last game they played they blew a 17 point lead for their only loss in 5 games. Now a 2-3 Siena team is laying 8 points at Loyola?


UC Davis(-4.5) at Sacramento St?????
We all know Cal State Sac hasnt been the same since Ron Mexico's 3.2 minutes a game but has Cal Davis ever been favored on the road?


Ok, thats enough. A couple of them are borderline, but these are the games that the lines dont make sense to me -Cat

This game is actually at Ford Field in Detroit, about an hour or so away from East Lansing.

I actually like Carolina here. The +10 seems too good to be true.

'Heels are the deal.

Tar Heels by about 15 points.
MSU was blown out by an average Maryland team.

yeah I am not sure what happened in that game. Ever since then, Maryland has been just destroyed by teams and State looked good against Okie St. You are right though, proved they can be blownout by a lot worse team than UNC
