Tanko CBB Plays 2022-2023

[Tanko]

Syracuse +4.5

Interesting matchup tonight.
Looks like an edge to N. Carolina tonight but the -4.5 NC line makes me think twice.

I believe CK has mentioned, the ACC is a homer confernce this year. Excluding the 3 bottom dwellers in the league (ND, G-Tech, Louisville) home teams are winning at a 32-10 clip SU in conference games.

When you consider only games against the top 11 conf teams, NC is 0-3 on the road. Syracuse is 2-1 at home in conference against the top conf teams. They did lose to Pitt in mid Dec by 2 pts.

Last 5 ATS (all games)
Syracuse 4-0-1
NC 3-2

Last 5 Home/Away ATS
Syracuse (Home) 3-1-1 (the lone loss ATS was by 2 vs Pitt - mid Dec).
NC (Away) 1-4 (the lone cover against lowly Louisville)

I like the Syracuse +4.5 tonight and think homer trend continues.

Syr +4.5

TCU -5
Like them at home vs Oklahoma.
OU hasn't played well on the road this year.

TCU coming off a huge win at Kansas so there is a slight worry of a letdown tonight but TCU coach Jamie Dixon is pretty damn good so hopefully he won't let that happen.

Card for today..

Miami -3
Syracuse +4.5
TCU -5


I kind of liked Illinois but after the pile of crap they laid Saturday vs Indiana, its tough to make a play on them.

I think that is a smart pass on the Illini. They are unpredictable.

Wong is playing lucky break for you.

He got upgraded to Questionable right before gametime.

5 pts so far with 1-1 from 3.

 

[Wagerallsports]

Miami blowing them out right now

 

[Tanko]

Thoughts on Miami -3 tonight @ FSU?

Thanks for pointing this one out Wager.
Easy peasy.

 

[Seahawkharry]

Thanks Wager love this thread

 

[Wagerallsports]

Gotta love the easy ones

I think that is a smart pass on the Illini. They are unpredictable.

Illinois broke it open after halftime to easily cover. Even though they won, I'm glad I didn't play it. They have to be move consistent. This game is a good example. They were up by 17 with 4 minutes left and didnt' score again. The won by 9.

Those episodes, long periods, of cold shooting or repetitive turnovers have to stop if they make the tournament.

TCU Covered easily.

2-0 so far.

One more to go tonight with Syracuse +4.5.

 

[Tanko]

3-0 +3 units on the day.
Syrcuse covers by the hook.

Win - Miami
Win - TCU
Win - Syracuse.
