Just Five For Sunday

The results (9-6) were good yesterday, but once I added them all up, we picked 15 basketball games yesterday, which sounds like a lot for one day. Posting them 3 or 4 at a time, sometimes you don't realize how many games you're involved in until you add them up later. Today, just 5 in college basketball:

Virginia +8.5 -101, 1.01 units to win 1 unit

Line looks pretty short considering UVA is at the bottom of the ACC barrel, and Clemson's demolition of Duke is still fresh in people's minds.

South Florida +13.5 +100, 1 unit to win 1 unit

Another line that looks suspiciously low. There surely has to be some value here after Notre Dame's destruction of Louisville in their last game.

Towson +11 -110 (WSEX), 1.1 units to win 1 unit

Line not budging despite the public betting on Drexel. Towson shoots better as well, but of course the last time I said that about a team, Iona went out and scored only 39 points in that game.

Illinois-Chicago +1 -110 (WSEX), 1.1 units to win 1 unit

Line just dropped from 1.5 which seals the deal for us. Pomeroy's stats have Ill-Chi favored by one today.

Miami(FL) +8 +101, 1 unit to win 1.01 units

Like Notre Dame, UNC is coming off a very public, impressive victory, so there's likely to be value here. 71% of the wagerline crowd on the Heels, but the books are taking a stand with the Canes.

That's probably it for the day. Considered Colorado in the NHL just on principle (+320!), but that's probably not the smart way to do business.

Ack! Colorado Avalanche win in overtime as +320 underdogs. Mentioned it as a lean in the post, but didn't play it. Damn.
