Olympics - Quarterfinal Lines Are Out

leaning towards:

Spain -12 over Croatia
China +10.5 versus Lithuania
Argentina -4.5 over Greece

laying off USA -31. Americans are rolling but will never lay that many points in a game.

Like spain too..i think the line moved up to 12.5.

China getting 10 looks good too.

Leaning towards Greece in the third.. they really play together well and have been lately. I think their aggresive defense can help keep mano in check. might be able to pull the upset her, line seems low too.

same. australia's been playing well lately and the US is clearly on a mission. US should cover but i cant pull the trigger either way..


will probably only play spain and greece ML..

decided to pass on spain. the croatians have played too well to lay 12.5. taking the following:

china +10.5 - 2 units

home country with some pretty solid talent. took spain to ot already. i like them to cover but lithuania is very good so not taking it too big.

argentina -4 - 4 units

i simply think the argentines are the class of the olympics behind the americans. greece is getting too much respect because of their victory over USA in 2006. i think argentina wins by double digits.
