Good RLM. BOL!

[Wilforth]

Good!

[sportsguy04]

hahaha, I was on this way before the reverse line movement, and your the only one that knows from the PM this morning, this is a very very strong play.

Yes I know. No I meant, with the public pounding away on St. Joe, line has dropped by 2 points! Penn looks to be the play.

[Slim]

St. J's are a good team.

[MC PICKS]

I like Penn at 7.5. Line moving down is a trap to get people to bite on St Joes. Although I am glad I grabbed it early cause I would be a little skeptical to take it now.

[sportsguy04]

St. J's are a good team.

lol.

[linedrivr]

How anyone could justify a wager of any amount on Penn is beyond me much less 5k...wow. now that takes some big Cojones!

Does Penn's short bench not scare you? Active roster might be fill-ins from intramural rec teams.... not to mention their head coach got canned a month ago and an assistant is filling in. If you got $5k riding on Penn, you must have inside info, refs in your pockets and St Joes players on the take. maybe you will need all of the above. I wish you the best of luck. I hope your wager cashes for you. here's to sweatin 5k

I'm VERY heavy on St. Joe's today ML and -3,-5,-5.5

good luck with Penn

couldn't disagree more.

[spargament]

hahah people are funny. Penn plus the points

[Snowball]

you have an advantage ? Penn has one win all year - against a junior community college. lol. St. Joseph's had a road win in November, they beat BC.
Joseph's is coming off two wins, vs Towson AND Dayton, yes DAYTON.
Penn has no game. NONE. This could be a blowout.
good luck (again).

[linedrivr]

with a gun to my head and forced to make a wager on this game, I would lean to the over. short bench and fear of foul trouble for the few 'real' players Penn will dress, they can't afford to play defense. now if they can shoot 75% from the field and avoid turnovers on offense, I give them a shot. but those are BIG IFS.

u never know though, thats why they play the games.

[linedrivr]

They are funny right spargament, last year was much worse when I was actually putting in screen shots of my bets, so people would believe it. No matter how much people lose, they still don't understand, that prior performance and record is irrelevant, the bet may win the bet may lose, but I feel I have found a signifigant advantage in this one, so I bet accordingly.

please enlighten me on your significant advantage for Penn. I have looked at every angle and can't find one other than the big home win letdown scenario for St Joes which I believe is a false nail to hang your hat on do to the Penn roster injuries. What am I missing???

[Snowball]

disagreement is what makes a line a line..
"past" performance is probably the largest factor in my analysis.
St. Joseph's has obviously started doing something right over the last week
and I do not believe Penn has what it takes to stop them. GL.

[spartangreen]

be interesting to watch the line and see if there is a jump right before tip. I got St. Joe at -5, so if they win by 6 we will all be right.

[linedrivr]

Somethings up because the public is all over St Joes yet the line is moving the other way. Vegas playing head games here? still a pass for me regardless.

[Brewers in 7]

Im on Penn tonight, Big 5 game in the Palestra that place will be rockin, cant see anything but a nailbiter there

[mlb]

I like Penn for a few reasons and am skeptable for a few others:

Penn:
Line opened at +7, despite the public laying 90% on St. Joes, the line has moved down to +5.5 at my book and +5 at others. Fishy?

This is a possible trap game. Yes St. Joes beat BC (early) and are coming off of wins vs. Towson and Dayton (both at home... Dayton isn't that strong away from home), but they could have a possible let down on the road vs. an INFERIOR Penn team.

These are the types of games where Vegas is genius and the public is not. Your not going to tell me that Vegas is just going to give away money by making them small favorites with the crazy good looking line towards St. Joe's. Some other variable is involved that makes me lean towards Penn.

Now, the injury factor that was posted:

To say that these injuries matter at the current game is a little far fetched. They have not had these players for numerous games. (They still suck either way)

St. Joes:
They are a far superior team.

The line looks amazing at -5.5 and going down?

My play:
Although I haven't decided if I will play, I'm leaning towards Penn for the above reasons and from my read I feel a Penn upset. They will be at home (not the best homecourt advantage) but they live and die by the 3 and I think with the crowd only helping them they cover and possibly pull out a victory.

[spartangreen]

There will be alot of St.Joes fan's there to, its closer to a neutral game than a home game.

[pace]

St. J's are a good team.

Um, no they aren't. But still, they should win this easily. Probably more St. Joe's fans at the game anyway. Penn may be the best 1-12 team in the nation though.

[$Burm$]

i wouldnt say theyll win easily, id still take penn +5.5....HUGE letdown game for St. Joe's, Penn is going to slow the crap out of this game and make St. Joes play there style, I like the under in this one...would be on penn +7 if i couldve gotten it, but i guess ill settle for the under here
