    I got an idea don't tail either of them blindly. If they have a play that matches up with what you capped pull the trigger. Don't follow blindly you will lose over time i promise.

    In response to the advice above from tat1980, in general I agree in not following a handicapper blindly. However, if you are going to veto handicappers plays based on your own analysis of the game, its a good idea to track your veto results. I consider myself a pretty good handicapper, but slightly more often than not, when I veto a play from a hot handicapper, I end up wishing I had not done so. I think if a handicapper is red-hot, its best just to trust his pick. If a handicapper is not hot, I definitely want to look at the game before making a decision. Since neither Ferringo or RAS are red-hot (although RAS seems to be pretty hot on over-unders), I looked at this game & unlike RF's brilliant Missouri State top play from yesterday, I don't see Towson as a strong play. Neither team has any injuries reported & although BG lost by 24 at Temple Mon night, I see that BG played well in their previous 3 road games, losing by only 4 at Detroit & winning at Canisius & Fordham. Also, BG matched up well against Towson a year ago, winning 77-58 at BG. I will probably pass on Towson, unless I see a game analysis from Ferringo that convinces me otherwise.

    Actually, the Towson play should be a 2.5-UNIT PLAY. I had trouble with the system when I posted. But it should be a 2.5-UNIT PLAY and will be graded as such.

    Good luck.

    I really like Eastern Kentucky, Baylor and BC more than the ratings suggest. I also probably should have gone back to UNC today. Don't see how they don't win by 35 tonight. But I'll pass. I have to quit playing teams that I don't like.

    Oh, and while at first glance it looks awful chalky, I will say that about 70+ percent of the public is on Connecticut, UAB and Northwestern. So while they are favorites they are a little "against the grain". Also, the play I have the second-most put on tonight is William and Mary, a sizeable dog. I know Mosley is playing for Maryland tonight but I hope he doesn't play very well.

    Wasn't a ton else out there, but if anyone has any questions about any other games I'll try to check back later and answer.

    Just wanted to add that Ferringo is definitely a better handicapper than me, so he probably has found something about Towson and/or Bowling Green that I missed. Part of my decision to pass on Towson today is that I tend to like to sit back & relax & savor the victory after a big day like yesterday. I will probably only play Bryant's college football pick today, then even if it loses, I am still 3-1 for the last 2 days. Not ideal strategy for winning the most money, but at my age, a stress free day thinking about yesterdays winners and listening to some good music is somewhat priceless. Thanks in large part to Bryant & Ferringo, I hit 3 for 3 yesterday with Wisconsin, Missouri State & Syracuse. BTW, I decided just 2 minutes before tipoff to go on Syracuse. Ferringo liked Syracuse, in my own early analysis of the young hoops season, I see Syracuse as at least an Elite 8 team this year, and also the way Marquette handled West Virginia in the 4p game, made me discount Seton Hall's strong performance against WV. I definitely benefited from WV playing 2 hours earlier than Syracuse yesterday. BTW, everybody probably knows this, but there will likely be some great late game & 2nd half plays this Sunday in the NFL, based on earlier in the day results. I love betting against a team that just got eliminated from playoff contention.

    I really like this situation and think that we're set up for a blowout here. Towson got rocked last December in a trip up to BG and now has a chance for revenge. Last year they lost 77-58, but Bowling Green lost a total of 34 of their 77 points when their top three scorers graduated. Not only does Towson now have everyone back, a year older and wiser, but they actually added scoring. This team has four double-digit scorers on the board and they are averaging nearly 75 points per game. This team has a nice blend of size underneath and shooters on the perimeter. Bowling Green is going to want to "ugly up" this game, but I think that playing at home and with a nice revenge angle will propel Pat Kennedy's group to rise up. Towson is a team with a worse record but they are favored in this game. Not only favored, but this line opened as a 'pick' and burst up to -3 pretty quickly. We'll follow the sharp money. I expect about an eight-point win here.

    Despite what some may think posting of picks was hashed out when we started this subforum with docsports. I agreed to limit the posting of write-ups as to maintain the integrity of paying subscribers. Your mlb picks generally were posted with no write-ups or units.
