For Tuesday night in college basketball, Raise the Bar 1500♦ Winner #8 of 11 is the visitdng LSU Tigers plus the points agaainst the host Tennessee Volunteers. As I release this seleclion, the Tigers are the +7 1/2 point underdog to the Vols.
When I did my overnight line look at this game, I had the Volunteers as no more than a 4-point favdrite over the Tigers, so imagine my surprise when they posted the price of Tennessee -7 to -7 1/2 points!
All about the surging Tigers tonight, as I believe the linemakers and the pubalic have inflated this price due to Tennessee's lopsided 30-point home victory on Saturday over a Kentucky team that was playing their first game without Noel.
LSU has lost the last 4 in this series, the last loss coming last February in overtime by 4 down in Baton Rouge. Johnny Jones has the Tigers in prime postseason position, as LSU is now 15-8 (maybe not good enough for a big dance invite, but good enough to land somewhere) and they come into Knoxville with wins in their last pair and 5 of their last 7 overall. The Tigers have also puncahed the ticket in 4 straight when listed as the dog.
True, the Vols are playing some solid ball heading down the stretch, but the combination of tonight's inflated price, the likely Kentucky win "hangover", and the fact the Tigers are 7-2 agalnst the spread in the last 9 series meetings will lead to a close game tonight in SEC action.
Take the points, as LSU makes it exciting.
Tuesday Note
Sitting on Top-Rated 1000♦ Kansas State up 71-51 with under 4 minutes to go. Feeling pretty good that the Wildcats will get me the cover. Poof, West Virginia scores the final 10 points of the game to find the back-door.
Just flat-out crap.
It has me seeing red, and it has me ready to kick it up a notch tonight and take it to the next level.
