Thursday Night - Last Minute Picks

Job. Kid. Wife. Blog takes a back seat some days. The picks:

College Basketball

St. Louis +12 +101, 1 unit to win 1.01 units

Betting, no line movement, next question.

Hawaii +5.5 -107, 1.07 units to win 1 unit

La. Tech's center (Cooper) is out which makes this one look real close to me. We'll take the points.

Florida International +3 +110, 1 unit to win 1.1 units

With Galindo, Hicks, Soto, etc. finally getting healthy, this team is likely very underrated. For example, Pomeroy's ratings don't take injuries into account, so his predictions are based on a lot of games where these guys weren't playing. Hopefully, the linesmakers' ratings are similarly skewed.

Alabama +4.5 -105, 1.05 units to win 1 unit

Very interesting. Arkansas has gone from underrated to overrated, and Alabama has done the opposite.

Wofford +5 -110 (WSEX), 1.1 units to win 1 unit

Pomeroy has this one at only 3 points. 70% on App State, but line went backwards. I like it.

NHL

Islanders +148, 0.5 units to win 0.74 units

Lightning +134, 0.5 units to win 0.67 units

Maple Leafs (Leaves?) +142, 0.5 units to win 0.71 units


No NBA for a second straight night - I don't know if that's discipline or fear. I'll say discipline. Good luck everybody.
