College Basketball – November 13th

November 13, 2018November 13, 2018 John AndersLeave a comment

70-62-2 on NCAAB last season and went up 8.95 units

2-3-1 this season down 5.74 units

Stanford had 3 chances to score a basket to cover the +17 against UNC’s practice squad at the end of the game, but couldn’t do it. Then both of my money line favorite play covered the spread easy so I lost some value there. Just how my young college basketball season has been going.

Tennessee State -6 for 5 units. Arkansas Little Rock was one of the worst teams in college basketball last season and needed overtime to beat a D2 school in their opener. Fade Little Rock.

Pepperdine +10.5 for 3 units. Pepperdine cane shoot from deep and that will help them cover this spread. Northern Colorado and Pepperdine both smacked a D2 school in their opening game, so this line confuses me a little, but not enough to scare me away.

Georgia Tech +16 for 2 units. Tennessee returns a lot of players this year and they deserve to be highly ranked, but this line is just too high for me. Jose Alvarado has the ability to be an All-ACC type player for GT this season. Brandon Alston is a solid senior guard as well. Strong guard play will help the Yellow Jackets cover against a more talented Tennessee team. Shembari Phillips, the transfer from Tennessee, can give GT some inside scouting..

ATP Finals – Thiem Vs. Federer

87-43-6 on tennis up 34.49 units

Federer -3 at -120 for 5 units. If Roger loses today, he most likely will not make it past the group stage here for only the second time in his career (16 appearances). Roger has a 15-0 record in the second match of this group stage. The Swiss has not lost 3 matches in a row since 2002. He is on a two match losing streak. Let me say that again, Roger Federer has not lost 3 matches in a row since 2002! Tiger Woods was not even engaged to Elin Nordegren at that point. Soak up the Sun, Hot in Here, and Lose Yourself were just coming out. Unreal. Dominic Thiem actually leads the H2H 2-1, but they have not met since 2016. Neither is in great form, but Federer will get up for this match and use his return game a lot better than he did in the first match.

Basketball

NBA – November 13th

61-53-2 on NBA in 2018 up 9.28 units

8-10-1 on NBA this season down 7.84 units

Took a break from NBA because I was losing. Been watching the games and feel confident getting back on the horse tonight. The refs have been so bad this early season. I mean that 6th foul on Kevin Durant in overtime against the Clippers was a joke and sealed the win for the Clippers. The Hornets got robbed in Philly against the 76ers and the league admitted it. These NBA refs make me appreciate how good the NFL refs have been this season honestly. I am not blaming the refs for my poor results so far this season, but it dampens the watchability of the product on the court.

Rockets/Nuggets over 214.5 for 3 units. Houston shot a lot better in their last game against the Pacers than they were in the first few games before. Too many players can get hot in this one and send this over to bet the under. I think this number should be around 220 so I will bite.
