I hate the Ivy League - Just hate it... Doesn't mean I won't still play it.

It's going to be a BIG BIG BIG card today. First Saturday in awhile that I've been home. I'll also be going bigger on my plays today as I have an ability to chase all afternoon if need be. Check back in throughout the day, as I'm going to be adding plays all afternoon...

$125 Iowa -9.5
$50 Iowa 1st Half -5
Don't be fooled by Penn State's road win at Northwestern as they historically match up pretty well with them. Penn State is a BAD team... Anytime they play quality competition they get blown out. They lost by 35 to Ohio State and 37 to Pittsburgh. They only lost by 8 to Clemson, but some of their vicotories are against inferior opponents; Brooklyn, Mizzou KC (by 4), St Francis, New Hampshire, Fort Wayne, and Mount St. Mary's. Iowa is still my pick to win the Big 10 title this year or at least to win the Big 10 conference tourney. They have the most experienced lineup, and after somewhat of a rocky start are playing pretty well.

$50 NC State -12
Georgia Tech isn't a very good road team. NC State is a pretty damn good home team. The Wolfpack are 6-2 ATS at home since 97' against GT. This year NC State is 9-2 ATS, while GT is 4-5... Just a small play here... if it was a weekday game, I wouldn't be playing it...

$75 La Salle +8.5
Temple is a low scoring team, so I like to look at bigger dogs in this circumstance. La Salle has played pretty well on the road, and are a very experienced team.
