It definitely makes watching games fun … I keep going back and forth on whether its better to play the FP or the individual stats. Have to kind of look through both to see a soft line (a couple of days ago vs WMU AJ Hoggard was set at 3 assists and 14.5 points for example – easy over and under based on overreaction to the opener.
Hey, we try to keep individual sportsbook discussion out of here just in case we bring one on as an advertiser but I think the best bet would be to use multiple and place your bets where you get the best lines and best promos and shop around.
I threw two together tonight mostly off first glance gut feelings which I’m sure won’t be my best work
Banking on Gonzaga frontcourt to do some work (Timme’s rebound prop seems light and Chet’s point prop seems light too after not scoring much last game). Crowl’s points line for Wisconsin seems like an overreaction after he had 18 against Green Bay. Think they’ll need Davison to actually do things tonight. I’m buying Illinois big over Marquette, thus the Grandison over and the Morsell/Lewis unders.
The rest are mostly a collection of mid-major guys I like to put up all stats in competitive games.
Fun app! (Unless these both go 0-5, then I’m sticking to Michigan/MSU only )
I like the mid-major plays especially McGhee and Plowden and the Zags plays but have to root against you on Morsell Crowl seems smart too but I haven’t seen Wisconsin play yet.
Does Marquette have a chance to finish within 8 of Illinois? No Cockburn, and it’s @ The Fiserv Forum. I don’t know anything about The Fiserv Forum other than it sounds intimidating.
Marquette is going to be better than I thought this year, but +2.5 to the bonnies was too much. Looking good so far - wouldn’t be surprised to see some other early season lines against over performing teams come up like Minnesota, Cal, or some of the low majors in the SWAC or MEAC. Normally I feel like these types of teams hold on to preseason rankings too long and they can be early season continued winners, but Vegas might be overreacting this year. A few teams might actually be better than preseason expectations - Santa Clara and maybe DePaul?
I talked myself into taking Nebraska +7.5. Mostly because the only time I bet against Michigan this year was the San Diego State game. You’re welcome everyone
