I tease SOB, 'Bama-Tennessee
I've started sweating another handicapping blog for college hoops picks, since I've never bet NCAA basketball before. Yesterday SportsObjective won me $$ on
KANSAS STATE(+1)over texas (KState won, 71-62, bumping off the #1 team in the polls) and today SOB lost on ALABAMA(+2.5)over tennessee, but won me $$, as I teased the line and the under to ALABAMA(+7.5), under 144. I just squeaked by on the line, but covered the under easily, as Tennessee won, 63-56.
I didn't get to the internet early enough to get in on unc wilmington(+17)over VIRGINIA yesterday (UVA won by 2, nowhere near a cover), or OHIO STATE(-12)over northwestern tonight (OSU won and covered, 76-56). Not that the guy never loses, but he's pretty damn sharp. Consider this a recommendation.
SOB gives his reasoning most of the time, and usually seems to be fading the big public teams. I'm just impressed by his ability to find the vulnerable lines. After all, there are plenty of other public teams that he avoids on a given day.
I'm a bit leery of fading Tennessee on his say so, however. Having watched them a bit, I wasn't too impressed tonight, but they were much bigger and more athletic than Alabama. Of course, the more you follow a given team, the better you should be able to gauge their performance. Anyway, I'm beginning to form some opinions of my own about some of these teams, for whatever it's worth.
