Basketball Parlay of the Day Contest - Thursday, 1/10/08
Listen up, basketball experts. Starting Wednesday (Jan 2) we will commence with a Hoops Parlay Contest with the monthly grand prize a 22” widescreen LCD monitor. The rules are simple:
1. Check in the NBA BASKETBALL HANDICAPPING FORUM each day for the daily thread to be posted by LT Profits. Lines will be posted by 11:00 a.m. (ET) each day. Plays may be posted before that, but the official posted lines will be used for grading.
2. Posted spreads and totals are the only eligible plays for grading. Both NBA and NCAA games included.
3. Two-game parlay picks, laying 10 to win 26. Post entire parlay at same time, no open parlays.
4. Here’s the catch: Your play must include a write-up, doesn’t have to be long, just a sentence or two about why you’re making your play. Here’s a THREAD from last year’s contest to be used for an example.
5. And here’s the fine print:
- One entry per household and IP address.
- Must use lines posted in daily thread by LT Profits
- Maximum one parlay pick per day, minimum 15 parlay plays needed to be eligible for monthly prize.
- Tiebreaker - Win % of individual parlay legs. If still tied, combatants will carry on a head-to-head parlay match until winner determined.
- All decisions made by SBR with regards to this contest are final.
- SBR employees eligible to participate but are not eligible to win the monthly prize.

Det. (Pistons) +4 : I look for Detroit to bounce back from that horrible showing last night in Dallas.
WV (Mountaineers) +2.5 : The Cards and Mountaineers have had some thriller games the last couple years. Bobby Huggins has always been a thorn in UofL's side when he was at Cincy. The sound fundamentals of WV's game will prevail against the inconsistent Cardinals.

Jazz
This would be a fair line if the Suns were at full strength. They aren't, and winning in OT and traveling to the most difficult arena in the NBA is not a recipe for success.
USC
Despite the respective rankings, SC has more talent than Wazzou. Add in home crowd, and maybe a little lookahead from the Cougs, and I think SC will get the win despite how disciplined and well-coached Wazzou is.

Slappin troubles away with the SlapChop
|
Wash St +1.5....This team has had many close games and have managed to win them all this year. Oj Mayo is the real deal for USC, but this team just hasnt found that winning consistency yet.
Cleve St -2.5.... Detroit has lost 8 straight and team is falling apart...Cleveland St..has been playing better than Det. in all phases of the game

706 Utah Jazz -6 - nat'l tv statement game for utah vs a shorthanded suns squad.

Phoenix/Utah -- Phoenix +6 - They won the last meeting and I think even if they loose this one they should cover. If you look at the ATS records its pretty much a toss up.
Grizzlies/Kings -- Kings -4 --Grizzlies have not won in Sacramento for a long time and both teams do not look real good right now so I think the Kings get a sloppy win tonight.

Oregon - 5.5 : Trying a Pac 10 parlay tonight, 1st with the home team small spread here and Ducks should win at home.
Wash St. +1.5: Going out on a limb and see if they can stay unbeaten with this tough road game.

702 San Antonio Spurs -3˝
Detroit is a very good team, but playing b2b on the road, against one of Western conference Elite teams is not an easy task. They should rightfully be underdogs here. Spurs at home is tough team to beat and they should be up for this one after losing few road games in a row. I think there's some value on the Spurs as a small home fave. Only 2 buckets difference will cash this one.
706 Utah Jazz -6
I'm probably going to take the Jazz at home often if the lines will stay sensible. They have one of the biggest home advantages in the league and are much more talented and capable team that one might think from their current w-l record. They rolled over Indiana the other day and should be able to dominate the boards today as well. I like their chances of winning by more than 6 here, even against Elite team like the Suns.

WISCONSIN-GREENBAY + 15 >Butler is a very tough team,but they have a tendency not to cover the big lines.Plus I think the play of Terry Evans,and Troy Cotton may keep Greenbay pretty close.Butler is definatly the better team,but they don't always play like it.
MEMPHIS & SACRAMENTO OVER 203.5 >Both teams give up over 100pts.a game.Even though niether team is gonna challenge for the playoffs,they can still light the scoreboard up,and they have yet to guard anybody.

HOFSTRA +6˝: Revenge spot for Hofstra after losing at home to Wilmington earlier this season. They did beat the Seahawks in this building last year, and leading scorer Agudio has now returned from his injury.
FURMAN +9˝: As bad as Furman is, Western Carolina is no great shakes either at 4-10 SU, and we don’t feel they should be this big of a favorite over anybody. One of Furman’s two wins this season did come vs. the Catamounts, and we look for the Paladins to play them close again.

Utah -6. Jazz owned the glass in their previous meeting, and if they hit more than 63 per cent of their free throws they would have won outright. Phx travel makes it tough.
Sacramento -4. Kings are 11-5 ATS against teams with a losing record, and carry some confidence with four straight covers.

Gauchos are the superior team and have won 3 of 4 from Irvine.
Tenn-Martin -1.5
E.Illinois has lost 6 of 7 OVC games this season. Tenn-Martin has more offensive weaponry and assuming they hit some shots, they cover.

Pistons +3.5...San Antonio's big three haven't been playing together and don't seem in sync...as will sometimes happen Detroit hit a flat note off a break, but should play their game here which is good enough to make it close at the wire.
Sacramento -4...The Mike Conley era continues and I'll look to play against him as he goes through new territory...I'll count his first West Coast game in a new arena as new territory.

suns/jazz unders If nash is missing from this game the suns offensive tempo will be much slower they will use up abit more clock before putting it up.
pistons +3 1/2 This is the game that they will get up for in this road trip. Last nights result will help my cause

Jazz -4 The Phoenix Suns have been playing great ball lately, but with Steve Nash possibly out with flu like symptoms, Grant Hill Not playing, and last nights OT affair, the Suns are not only gonna be tired and worn out, they also possibly may be without two of their starters. The Jazz also have lost only 3 games at home this season
Jazz/Phoenix Under 224- Both teams score well over 100 ppg, but 224 is to many points to give up for a team that may be without two starters. I see Jazz taking this one and beating Phoenix by 8 + points just a bit over 100 points. Total score won't rack past 224 though

716 Va Commonwealth -17˝
This game smells like a major blowout. I usually don't like to take so many points, but VCU should roll by 20+.
740 Cal Irvine pk
I like this team at home over a UC rival.

01/10/08: USCFOOTBALL33’s Parlay Of The Day
Let’s Make it Two in a Row with a Win Today!
Washington +16.0
Analysis: I obviously don’t need to tell you why UCLA is good as they are currently sitting at 14-1 that was earned against some very good competition. The problem with this one is that UCLA is not 17 points better than a team that has played within this margin against such teams as Texas A&M, Syracuse, Pittsburgh, and Washington State. In addition to that, Washington has taken down solid programs like Portland State, CS-Northridge, and LSU in Baton Rouge! Oh and UCLA is hurting right now with Darren Collison and Michael Roll (among others) being injured. Bottom line: UCLA is the better team, but they are not 17 points better, especially with the injuries that they currently have! Take Washington and the points.
Saint Louis +1.0
Analysis: ROTFLMAO! O.k., I have stopped laughing for the moment! Where should I start with this one? Why in the world should a 4-6 George Washington who hasn’t beaten a winning team all season be favored over a 9-5 Saint Louis squad who has wins over IUPUI, Pacific, and Southern Illinois (I know SIU is struggling this year, but I still have respect for this program at 7-8). The bookie must be banking that a 4-1 home record that was earned against soft opponents is better than a 2-4 away record by Saint Louis that is a result of much better competition. And we have a kicker! George Washington lost Travis King recently to a knee injury. Bottom line: We have the better team, who has played better competition, and who is healthier than their opponent. Take Saint Louis and the points.

San Antonio Spurs -3˝
Spurs are 17-2 at home and tonight they host the Pistons. Pistons are on zero days rest and won't match up well against the Spurs. I am backing Spurs
Phoenix Suns +6
Nash and Grant Hill are out of the lineup and all the Joe Schmoe's are saying Jazz will be easy money. Tonight I will side with Vegas hence I am backing the Suns to cover the spread in this very interesting situation.

Phoenix/Utah under 220.5 - No Nash, No Hill, banged up Marion, suspect bench, hoping the Jazz don't score too many and actually decide to show up somewhat on D to keep this under the number.
Detroit/SA under 180.5 - Half court game, just hoping there is more D than O from these two teams tonight to keep this one under the number

731 Wisc Green Bay +15 - UWGB has only allowed 101 pts in their last 2 games. Butler has been playing teams that weren't nearly as good as the Phoenix their last 3, and none were decided by 15 or more.
753 Washington State +1˝ - WSU will prove to be too much for this young USC squad who had a nice run but has experienced some turbulance lately. WSU is just f'n good.
