Dear RAS,

Please take Idaho St tomorrow to draw the line down and so I can fade you.

Sincerely,
Mac

Why have the number of games been so light this week? Dead periods for schools?

Yeah. Finals week most places. Weekday games won't be good until conference action starts up.

But it looks like a good slate on Saturday though.

BTB can watch Melo put up 45 in a Knicks route


There are only seven games to bet on tonight and I'm on six of them. I think I have a problem

Looking at my matchup analyzer for today's NBA games the only thing that really stands out as surprising is that it rates the Lakers as the toughest matchup in the league for the Knicks.

Their weaknesses have been opponents who can out Rebound them(LAL-5th), Get to the Free Throw Line (LAL-2nd), and play up-tempo (LAL-4th).

I'm not in love with the line because a) The Knicks have been lights out at home, b) The Lakers are struggling through a transition right now, and c) It's kinda like betting on the Yankees, your never going to get a favorable line when betting the Lakers.

With that being said I think the Lakers will get to the line just enough to keep it closer than it should be at the end.

I am going to wait till this afternoon and see if I can catch another 0.5 point (if not I will buy it) and I will be on the Lakers +6.5 for 0.75 Unit
----------
I think there is some value in the 1H line for the Hawks tonight.
Charlotte is obviously a good matchup for any team, but the thing that really stands out about the Hawks is since the beginning of the 2011 season, they are one of only four teams in the league that have a better Margin of Victory on zero days rest. In the 23 games the Hawks have played on back to back days since 2011, the Hawks are 18-4-1 ATS.

I will be on Atlanta -5.5 1H line for 1 Unit

I'm getting the Shockers -1.5 on my book

I'd pick UT at that line, probably will just stay away.

College for the night
I'm putting (0.5 Unit) on Tennessee simply because Wichita State clearly should be favored here, but the guys in Vegas seem to have their feet dug in the sand on this line. I trust their numbers more than mine.

Also going to throw down a small (0.5 Unit) bet on Belmont -2, the two teams are pretty evenly matched but Middle Tennessee hasn't been great on the road the past few years and Belmont should be able to win comfortably.


Small slate out their tonight and I won pretty big last night, I don't want to just throw a ton of money on games I don't feel completely comfortable with.
Good Luck Tonight

I dont think there is any RLM on the Wich St/UT game. Wichita St now favored by 2.

Took a chance an added Atlanta 1Q -3.5 and Atlanta 2Q -2.5 for half a unit each to my only full unit play today Atlanta -5.5 1H. Figure at worst I would split the two Quarter bets, but the Hawks didn't dissapoint and hit all three!

Belmont and Tennessee both covered (0.5 Unit each)

Up 3 full units on the night with Lakers +6.5 pending (not looking so good) for .75 Units.

Also have my nightly three team 8 point teaser for (0.5 Unit)
Hawks -1.5, Lakers +13, and Spurs +1
