Wed 3/5 28*s of Big 12, SEC and S-U-C-K

Yeah baby! Nice looking card today with lots of scary lines but this is what we wait for as lines tighten up as Tourney Time comes around.

---BIG 12---

10* Tex A&M @ Baylor
WTF are the line makers thinking? Just because these two teams have similar conference records they make Baylor a small home chalk? Well lets show why that chalk should be longer!

The Texas A&M Aggies are a bit road weary. Not only are they 1-4 SU their last 5 games, they are putting up scores of 53, 54, 59, 69 and 37 in their last 5 road games. Thats 54.4ppg as opposed to their 61.3 ppg on the road for the season. Putting up 60-65 points isnt going to cut it against the Bears, who average a monstrous 84.1ppg at home (while shooting a lights out 48.4 %). Baylor is a decieving 3-2 SU in its last five, losing by half a bucket at Oklahoma and losing by 5 to a surging Texas longhorns squad in OT.

Baylor is 12-4 SU at home.
Baylor is 6-1 ATS off a win against a conference rival.

A Baylor win is a Baylor cover and there is no way they lose this one.


Baylor Bears (-1.5) 10*


7* Oklahoma @ Oklahoma State
With Oklahoma's Blake Griffin sitting and this being State's last regular season home game, look for a good and fired up home crowd to drive this team to victory. These two squads played a close one in their first meeting this year with The Sooners coming out ahead 64-61 at home. Skip ahead several weeks and my how times have changed! Dont look now but OK State has won their last 5 games. This is a game where there are no real ATS or statistical advantages for either team, and we are forced to look @ the intangibles. The OSU Cowboys will have all the intangibles in their favor.

Oklahoma State Cowboys (-5) 7*




---SEC---


5* Tennessee @ FLorida
Tennessee is looking down from the top of the SEC knowing that they need to get convincing wins on the road if they look to have a shot at and NCAA title. The Tennessee Vols go to meet Billy Donovan's Florida Gators knowing that they could use this game for momentum going into the SEC tourney.

Florida has sure missed Joakim Noah and Al Horford who were part of the back to back NCAA Championship teams. Both Noah and Horford were NBA quality players and had that desire to win.

The Gators lost in Knoxville (where nobody wins) by 22pts. They were allowed to score at will shooting 53.8 percent and STILL LOSING BY 2 Decades!!!! The reason was turnovers. The vols committed 10 while the Gators doubled that number. Big squads like Tennessee make talented-but-transitioning squads like Florida nervous. Thats what missing big players like Noah and Horford will do to a team.

Tennessee had 3 players score 20+ points in their last meeting.
Tennessee's Chris Lofton averages over 20 points in his career vs. Florida
Tennessee is on an 8-4 ATS run against teams with a winning record.

Both teams will score, but after a long game look for Tennessee's better athletes and deeper bench to cover the number as a small road chalk.


Tenn. Volunteers (-2.5) 5*



---SUCK---

6* East Carolina @ Rice
This is aptly named because both teams flat out suck! East Carolina is a bad road time, but Rice is a HORRIBLE team both on the road and at home. Rice is favored today for the first time this season. This game means nothing to either team. They are bottom feeders. They will be bottom feeders.

Rice has 3 wins and a billion losses this year.
Rice has a wisp of offense at 55.6 ppg and 37.4 fg%
Rice only makes 3.6 3 pointers per game.

Value here with East Carolina as they trounced Rice by nearly 20 on 2/6/08.

East Carolina Pirates (+1.5) 6*
