Tonight's hoops picks:
NBA
Blazers -1 -101, 1.01 units to win 1 unit
Always looking for opportunities to fade media-darling teams like the Cavs (or Lakers, Celtics, etc.). As expected, huge support for the Cavs, but line goes the other way. Without Big Z, and on the road, I just don't see them winning this one.
Wizards +2.5 +103, 1 unit to win 1.03 units
This line looked weird to begin with, because I thought the Kings would be favored by more than this at home against the awful Wiz (not that the Kings aren't awful). Close to 70% of the wagerline folks agreed and picked the Kings, but the line moved to -2.5 instead of going higher. Sold.
College Basketball
Georgia State +8.5 -106, 1.06 units to win 1 unit
Line move favors the home team. Need to keep Maynor from exploding.
William & Mary +5.5 -109, 1.09 units to win 1 unit
This line is down to 5 at several places, with 72% support for Hofstra. I think I've picked William & Mary several times this season, but I'm not sure if I've actually won any of them...
South Carolina -1 -110 (WSEX), 1.1 units to win 1 unit
Game. Cocks. Calathes can't do it all, but bettors seem to think he can tonight.
Tulane +6 +103, 1 unit to win 1.03 units
A nice little C-USA home dog. Line falling fast - smart money is on the Green Wave.
Auburn +12.5 -107, 1.07 units to win 1 unit
Probably my favorite, which is scary. Meeks getting a lot of media love, but Auburn is solid up and down the roster, except for Kovortney Barber's free throw shooting. Somebody out there with enough money to move the line agrees with me.
That's probably it (isn't that enough?). Good luck everybody.
