   You'll see my play on TeamFLA but after reading this, you'll know what it is...everyone and their mother is on Winthrop..the line opened at -5 Mo State last night, -5 1/2 this morning, and -6 1/2 as of right now. The public is slammin on Winthrop and their 22-4 win 12 in a row run. Have you guys actually looked at their schedule and who they are playing? When's the last time they were challenged by an NCAA tournament caliber team?

   I'm not disrepsecting anyone on this site or the Winthrop Eagles. Hell, I could be way off base and I have had my worst week of the college season so far this week. But I have to post this info because it's starting to sound like everyone thinks Winthrop is easy and I just don't agree with that. Look at this Winthrop schedule..note that Winthrop lost to and Mo State beat Wisconsin. (I'll give the point that Mo State was at home and Winny on the road). Notice the 20 point loss by Winthrop last time they played a team with an RPI inside the top 30 on the road.

   How many of these teams have a chance of making the dance...1

   How many of these teams have an RPI in the top 75......1

   I think Winthrop is a very good team. There efforts at Wisconsin and UNC were wonderful. However the aggies and terps both put the beat down on them. When's the last time Winthrop has been truly tested in conference. They are in cruise mode right now.

   With that being said, it should be a very good game. But just wanted to point out that Winthrop is not the easy money everyone is expecting. Hell, I'll ramble some more..let's look at Mo State's schedule this year:

   Out of the 8 losses..2 to SIU..a top 10 team...yes a top 10 team. 2 losses to Creighton..who will also be in the dance....1 apiece on the road in conference to Indy State and Evansville (both with higher RPI's than Winthrop) and 2 home losses to Okie State (yet another NCAA team) and N. Iowa. Mo State is a good team fellas..the fact that they lost to SIU only speaks volumes of the talent the Salukis have.

   I might be biased, but let's not forget that part of decent record in the valley was hitting left and right on them non conference in situations like these. You'll see what I'm on when BP posts..I just ask you to really look at this game a little deeper if your heavily invested on Winthrop. On the other side of that coin, I'm not advising to go huge on Mo State either. A very difficult game..but I won't quote the stat your gonna hear on the game tonight...which is the Valley's Bracketbuster record SU....you wouldn't believe me if I told you there record ATS wise since the inception of bracketbusters.

   Last take..22-4 doesn't mean a thing to me if your counting Limestone, North Greenville, Prebsyterian (played em on a Sunday I imagine), and Virginia Intermont. Throw in 6 wins against teams with a combined record of 23-56.....well you get my point.

   Again no disrespect again to Winthrop, in fact, if I was the coach I would use this kind of bulletin board material and the big line to "motivate" the cagers...but there's a reason it's this big.

   GL players..had some time, off of work and wanted to offer an opinion on this game.

   GL whatever you decide..>I got Mo State at 5 1/2 and that's my Team FLA play. I wanted to post this now before the line goes up even more. It's at 6 1/2 and 78% of the pub is taking the points and laying on Winthrop..67% on the Moneyline.

   again..all the best. I've had a bad week so far but I am rollin -5 1/2 on Mo State tonight...GL whichever way you roll.
