5 deuces, let's cash em in for winners !!!!

cincinnati -10 over marquette<p>something up with this line. marrquette has a great record and team, every bit as good as cincy and they are getting a whopping 10 points. must going to be a blow out. give me cincy.

jillmark David Diggs is doubtful tonight for Marquette just thought I would add that here is my play.<p>Yale @ Princeton <p>Well Yale currently sits in the lead and in position to win their first Ivy League title since the 1960's. They play Princeton and Penn this weekend on the road then go home to face Harvard and Dartmouth two games they should win. Their best chance to get a win this weekend is at Princeton who just is not the same team they used to be, they are 3-4 ATS at home and only 4-5 ATS against the Ivy league while Yale has been very impressive going a perfect 7-0 ATS on the road and a very solid 8-2 ATS against their league. Yale holds a very strong rebounding edge here and are the better defensive team believe it or not and are heads and tales the better offensive team. Princeton had their turn at the top but it is time to step aside and give up that dominance. With one win this weekend and 2 wins in their last 2 games at home will have the Yale Bulldogs sitting at 12-2 and an Ivy League title I think they will win outright but will take the 4 points just for insurance! Here are a few trends to support our play! <p>Play Against - Home favorites (PRINCETON) - after 2 straight games making 50% of their 3 point shots or better.

I've been on a misearable streak, both POD and my personal plays.<p>Missing my last two POD by a collective point is not helping. I think I'll lay off -7.5 games because they all seem to be decided by 7.<p>Here goes:<p>Ind -4.5 o Cle<p>I know they don't have Rose or Miller, but they have the home court, and cle is playing back to back. Indiana has more depth, and should be able tot take them.

LAL -5

toronto +4

LA Lakers -5.0

NBA
New Jersey -8 @WSEX

Gonzaga (-9)

L.A. Lakers -5 at Charlotte
I know L.A. played last night and the Hornets didn't, but look for an easy cover from Shaq and the boys.

Nets -7 1/2 (Skybook)<p>Nets are 7-2 ATS vs the Knicks the last 9 meetings.
Knicks are 1-8 ATS the last 9 games.<p>RGM- the line is 7 1/2 at WSEX also. [img]images/icons/wink.gif" border="0[/img]

Columbia -3.5<p>Dartmouth is just 9-29 ATS at home, including 1-4 ATS this season.
