Here's the report for Thursday.
UPDATED: after 4-3 Wed night...but ...stay away or fade the 3-9.5 dogs and you improve odds/wins. ...
2006-7 Season:
Unranked Home Team vs Ranked Opponent (all records are ATS):
As a Favorite: 67.5% (13-6-1)
As a Dog of 0-3.5: 65% (19-10-1)

4 games for Thursday w/ 2 FAVS
Butler @ LoyChi +3
UCLA @ Cal +6
USC @ Stanford -1.5
Ore @ Wash -4
Stanford -1.5 and Washington -4 would fall into the 85 % 12-2 category.
some factors should be looked over.
1) Washington is 11-1 @ home this year, 0-6 on the road
2) Washington has won each year in Seattle since '01.
3) Oregon starting point guard Aaron Brooks will not play this evening due to a suspension. Last year in the Pac-10 conference tournament, he threw a foreman (sheesh- strong guy) to the throat of Husky guard Ryan Appleby and was suspended 3 games by the conference. He served 1 game in the tournament semifinal vs. Cal, 1 game in the season opener @ home and will serve the final game this evening. Brooks is well on his way to being either 1st or 2nd in Pac-10 player of the year voting and undoubtedly will get some All-American votes by year's end.
Goodluck!
