OK, I'm recovered from the Yellow Jacket meltdown, but I still think you should give whoever they play the rest of the season a few extra points just for intelligence reasons. The rest of the hoops for tonight:
NBA
Bobcats +2.5 -104, 1.04 units to win 1 unit
The usual: 70% on the Blazers, but it's still not enough money to move the line. I think the Blazers will miss Blake more than they realize.
College Basketball
Eastern Michigan +4 -102, 1.02 units to win 1 unit
A couple of awful teams. Even with a financial interest at stake, it would tough to make myself watch this one. Yuck.
Marshall +9.5 -106, 1.06 units to win 1 unit
Public likes the home team, Tulsa, which is probably 98% due to their close 1-point loss to Memphis (Memphis!) in their last game. Line moved the opposite direction. Well-balanced scoring for Marshall, and a deep bench. Go Herd.
Providence +1 -101, 1.01 units to win 1 unit
Down to a Pick at some books already. Marquette just looks too easy, and the sportsbooks don't make their millions by putting out "gift" lines and giving away free money. No matter how many square handicappers put together impressive-looking records over the course of a week or a month, I refuse to believe that this is the business plan the books are using. Nothing impressive to be found in Marquette's road results so far this season. Pomeroy is pretty significantly at odds with me on this, by the way, predicting Marquette by 5, so don't say you weren't warned.
Montana +7.5 -113, 1.13 units to win 1 unit
It's +7 at most places (again, thanks Matchbook) with the public on Weber State at the opening line of 7.5.
That's probably it. Passes in the NBA were Heat and Clippers, as scary as that sounds. In the NCAA, the last teams to miss the cut were NC-Wilmington, Western Carolina, San Francisco, and Cal. When all of those win, I'll be smashing a few bottles over my head. I'll take photos in the emergency room and post them in a few days. Good luck everybody.
