Monday Night Basketball - Early Games


Still looking at the later games, but played three already for the early evening college hoops schedule:

Towson St. +9 -106, 1.06 units to win 1 unit

Down to 8.5 at some books, despite a majority of the public on Bowling Green. Edge to BG on the wing, but everywhere else pretty close. Line move seals the deal, even though I have no idea where Towson is.

Cornell +9 -109, 1.09 units to win 1 unit

Another line that's down to 8.5 at several books - thank you, Matchbook. Even after last year, it's still weird when the best Ivy League team isn't Penn or Princeton. I like St. Joe's and we've backed them more than once this year, but I think this game will be close. Here, it's Cornell with the edge on the wing, plus the 9 points. Last a little longer with Big Red.

Chattanooga +12 +104, 1 unit to win 1.04 units

Alabama has been pretty inconsistent so far in the early going. They can play great against a good team, and terribly against a bad team. Over 70% of wagerline on Bama, but the line has retreated slightly, so we have to make a choice between following smart people or following retarded people. Hmmmmmmm. Give me a second. We choose smart!

Almost definitely back later with games starting at 9 PM Eastern or later.
