Daily Picks for Saturday Jan. 12'th
GLTA.....
Big XII starts today$$$$
I'll post one a little later on. Waiting for the total of Texas/Mizzou and the total on NU/KU...that's gonna be the banger if the number is where I think it is. Everyone thinks Doc Sadler is laying a trap in lincoln..but before you throw your hard earned greenbacks on Nebraska today..remember KU just got back from Boston College who they hammered by 25. I'm gonna pull a BIGMESSY and just keep shoutin how great my team is. But anyone that doesn't think KU is the #1 team in the country...go watch em play. They are 9 deep and a great team to bet on because the deep bench will cover your line and their 2nd string would be starting at almost any college in the country. I"m staying away from the KU side but I will play the total if the linesmakers screw up the number like I think they will.
My card for GP today:
BEST BET: ROll with me on Kansas under 133 @ Nebraska. This number could go either way over the course of the day, but I've been waiting for this game all week and think the under is our course of action. As a die hard Kansas fan, I know how we do in Lincoln. Doc or no Doc, Nebraska always has trouble with KU's defense and KU has owned them in Lincoln. Here are some numbers from Vegas Insider on previous meetings head to head:

Look at Kansas's trips to lincoln: THey allowed 56 and 48 the last two years with some of the players from this young team. Rush usually has a field day as well in Lincoln. I know Doc is doing some great things and deserves his props, but this KU team is a juggernaut, and it's not because of the offense. The defensive side of the ball for KU is rock solid. I advocate both the Hawks and the under, but my GP play is on an under winner as Kansas just rolls Nebraska with the same old story...Huskers can't score against KU's defense.
On the Huskers side of the floor, Doc is a master of slow ball and spread scoring. He rarely runs and guns and he is smart enough to know that the ONLY chance he has of winning this game is to slow down the high flying Jayhawks. I've seen Nebraska play twice this year and they run a great set when the offense is humming. However, they won't be able to score except for pounding inside. Throw in both teams suspect free throw shooting (Jayhawks are one of the worst teams in the country at 63%) and your gonna see the Kansas Subs cruise the Hawks into yet another 2Half blowout.
My card:
**Kansas Jayhawks under 133 (watch the line, you might get more. I already booked but will add on if it keeps going up)
4.4 units to win 4 units.
**Kansas -10
1.1 unit to win 1 unit
**Iowa State +12
2.2 units to win 2 units.
Mo Valley....can't post it but if your a dog lover the ones that play in Dan Gable land are a GOW type play for me in the Valley for 5 units.
