vegas dave.........any thoughts on theses games..at 12 noon........i was thinking of a 10pts teaser.......maimi florida and conn and okl...........................­..thnks.............o by the way i like troy also but why is the over/under at 72 does that mean UL can but points up as well

Definitely like Miami to take care of business against Duke, so teased down, even better...

Connecticut hasn't really been tested, and Akron can be pesky.... Conn -5 should probably be fine, but that looks like the most dangerous of the 3 to me. Purdue -12 maybe?

Over/Under is that high because Troy is averaging 39.8 points against and Louisiana Monroe averages 46 PPGA. Troy's numbers are skewed by tough early season opponents though... I think they will contain Monroe.

Good luck!

Michigan State AT Wisconsin...thoughts?

[kingsrule41]

That was a tough game for me. Coming into the season, I had a very high opinion of Wisconsin, but so far this season they really haven't impressed. Putting up 42 on Wazzou was impressive enough, but that team has no defense. Since then they've looked very beatable.

Michigan State has looked decent enough, but their schedule has been very soft.

I'm staying a mile away from this one, but if I had to take a side, I'd take the Badgers -7 at home.

Thats all I've heard this week. Nobody wants to touch this game. Wisconsin continues to win close games...that is a sign of toughness, however the media is in love with blowouts and doesnt appreciate a defensive battle.

[kingsrule41]

Agreed. I was definitely going to give the UNDER a good look in this game, but 45 is too low for me to consider a lock. Again, if I had to bet it I would take the under, but a 31 - 17 or 27 - 21 type of score wouldn't surprise me too much.
