The 3 biggest games on todays slate are all in the Big 12 (according to KenPom).
Times are ET.

7 Kansas at 26 Kansas St. 7:00 pm ESPN

Iowa State -2.5
Texas Tech -2

I feel like the list picks above are going to be a tough and close game, Tank. Hard to pick sides.

I will go for Evansville +17.5, looks like the safe side. haha

Could be a good play Genie. Although Evansville is not a great team, S. Illinois doesn't seem to have the killer instinct and cover big spreads vs poor teams.

I'm just actually looking forward for them to lose and to cover.

What can you say about the Boston College +14.5, Tank? I'm seeing a lot of picks for this team.

Very peculiar line here Tank, is someone prevalent out for Baylor ?

No players out of the Baylor/Tech game. But the line does look weird because IMO Baylor is a much better team than Tech and getting +2.5.

So the only way I can explain it is that people are betting on Texas Tech being very goog at home. They are 8-2 SU and they have a crazy huge HCA 4.7 ppg (best in NCAA).

But they are also only 3-7 ATS at home.

Baylor started the Big12 season flat with 3 straight losses (all against good teams) and have now won their last 2 vs very good teams as well. Tech has lost all 5 of their Big 12 games (albeit tight games except at ISU).

I’m gonna tail you, but I’m taking the money line as I often like to do.

You really like the points don't you Genie...

I can't see BC staying within that spread in this game. NC has huge height advantage and has been crushing "bad" teams when playing at Dean Smith Center. They usually win by 16 or more points at home against poor teams (at home).

BC is respectable when they play at home and have suprised some teams but, on the road, like tonight, they are usually losing by 16+ points. In the last 4 road games, against teams that are not as good as NC, they've lost by 16,14, 16, and 21. NC was better than all but one of those teams.

If I was going to play this game (I'm not) I'd lay the points.

in the acc i like wake over clemson tonite

 

[KingKolzig]

anyone have a free colleg injuries website?

 

[carolinakid]

the only play in the bc game is the over, either take bc pt on the sides or stay away, unc will be trying a new rotation tonight and that why the line drop from -17 to 14

 

[carolinakid]

btw is there anyone here that want to go to the unc game tonite, i have 2 tickets 12th row at the ticket box in will call there

 

[JDS]

Tanko let’s hope a respected computer model that I like is totally wrong today.

Tailing with Kansas!

Betonline: Jayhawks Rolling on Road

The #2 Kansas Jayhawks have been money on the road this season.

They’re a perfect 3-0 ATS as the visitor on the year, and are a 2-point road favorite against the #13 Kansas State Wildcats. The Jayhawks have covered in 3 of the last 4 meetings between the sides.

@goblue05 No worries, the BIG matchup Kansas v. K St. is on ESPN.

Kansas vs Iowa ST not on Regular ESPN Station

Yeah glad to see that. Will definitely watch the game at some point tonight. I see that Iowa St is playing on ESPN Plus again tonight. I guess they have somewhat of a habit of playing on that station.

 

[Wagerallsports]

I wanted Tennessee tonight but didn't get it in and looking like that's a good thing

 

[Wagerallsports]

Might pull the trigger on Alabama

 

[Wagerallsports]

Did Tanko even play anything tonight?

Looks like he was just discussion key games
