1. Where is a good site to get future college basketball point spreads?

   I am looking for Saturday's points spreads so I can start to do some analysis.

   Any insight would be appreciated! Thanks.

3. Hey Rookie...how's the Cali weather by the way?

   Anyways.

   Betcris will have the next day's games lined and up anywhere between 5:00 and 10:00 PM CST the night before games. They are great in football in that they will have next week's games lined about 30 minutes after the final kick on Sunday. I use Betcris alot because of the "middles" that creates on one end of the line.

   Other sites with early lines:

   http://www.donbest.com [donbest.com]">www.donbest.com (very good for golf)

   http://www.vegasinsider.com..even [vegasinsider.com..even]">www.vegasinsider.com..even though they are affiliated, they get the lines up pretty quick.

   The stardust before it gets torn down in Vegas are the original line posters. So you can always find their lines if you dig online. Some services include "the dust" lines as their official line.

   I'm out...good luck. See you guys on Saturday.

4. Thanks PC for the recommendations for the college bb points spreads...

   I figure since PC covers the Big 12 and Missouri Valley, that I would try and cover the Big 10...so, here goes...

   For Saturday, January 6th:

   There are 4 matchups tomorrow and they are as follows (with the current BetCRIS lines as of 4:30pm PST):

   9am PST, Penn State at Purdue (-9)

   11am PST, Ohio State (-1) at Illinois

   11:30am PST, Michigan (-2) at Northwestern

   1:30pm PST, Minnesota at Wisconsin (-19)

   1st matchup:

   Penn State (10-4, 5-1 ATS, 4-0 ATS @home, 1-1 ATS Away)

   Purdue (11-4, 6-5 ATS, 5-1 ATS @home, 1-4 ATS Away)

   Penn State is coming off an impressive win at home against Northwestern, while Purdue is coming off a 6 point loss at lowly Minnesota

   I would lean toward Penn State plus the points

   2nd matchup:(my play for the day)

   Ohio State (12-2, 7-5 ATS, 6-3 ATS @home, 1-2 ATS Away)

   Illinois (12-4, 4-7 ATS, 2-4 ATS @home, 2-3 ATS Away)

   Ohio State is coming off a hard fought win at home against Indiana, while Illinois is coming off a lackluster performance (and loss) at Michigan.

   Also, Illinois has had only one decent win so far this season at a neutral site in St Louis against Missouri (by 3). All other reasonable competition have been losses (Maryland at home by 6, at Arizona by 12, and at Xavier by 6)

   Ohio State's only two losses come on the road at North Carolina and at Florida, both much stronger competition than the Illini will offer.

   I will go with Ohio State to win (and cover) in the tough venue at Illinois

   3rd matchup:

   Michigan (13-3, 5-7 ATS, 4-5 ATS @home, 1-2 ATS Away)

   Northwestern (10-4, 5-6 ATS, 3-4 ATS @home, 2-2 ATS Away)

   Michigan is coming off a win against Illinois at home after several forgettable games previously, while Northwestern is coming off of a beat down at Penn State

   I am undecided on this game as Michigan may have a let down on the road after a win against Illinois...no play

   4th matchup:

   Minnesota (7-8, 4-7 ATS, 2-6 ATS @home, 2-1 ATS Away)

   Wisconsin (14-1, 7-3 ATS, 4-3 ATS @home, 3-0 ATS Away)

   Minnesota is coming off of an impressive win at home against Purdue (however, nothing to get too excited about) and Wisconsin is coming off of a 10 point win at Georgia on Sunday.

   19 points is a big number to cover in the Big 10...I would shy away from this one as well

   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   So, to summarize, my play for today (and for the record) in the Big 10 is:

   Ohio State (-1) at Illinois, 11am PST

   Oh, by the way, it is sunny, but cold and windy here in Southern Cal today (The Rose Bowl is over...so we can go back to our regularly scheduled winter weather)
