Welcome to week three here at win by two sports. What a great weekend. Possibly the best college football Saturday in my life time that included exciting finishes, missed field goals, and double digit upsets and comebacks. To top it all off, my Lions outscored this year’s rookie of the year runner up and the Panthers 42-11 over the last 40 minutes of the game thanks to a brilliant performance by the rejuvenated Kevin Smith. After becoming very pessimistic about Detroit’s one dimensional offense, my confidence has been restored as the running game lifted an elephantine weight off of Matthew Stafford’s shoulders. Can’t wait for Thursday. Moving on, we here at win by two are now going to provide you with a daily blog post of each days home run sports lines. Every line is courtesy of freesportsbet.com, a 100% free sports betting website that is completely funded by advertisements. All of my bets will be placed through this site and you can follow my progress (RobWinBy2Sports) or use my suggestions at your discretion to build up your own account. Let’s see how it goes.
The first installment: November 21, 2011
Albany Great Danes (-7.5) over Monmouth Hawks
This may be a little bit of a homer pick being an America East Conference alum, but I feel very good about it. The Danes may be only (1-2) but they definitely passed the eye test while combating their thruway rivals and number five team in the country, the Syracuse Orange. Although Albany lost by 24, they never looked outmatched physically and their starting backcourt both piled in over 20 points on efficient shooting. Moreover, Gerardo Suero is making an early season push for America East player of the year. The 6’4” junior college transfer is averaging almost 26 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists while shooting 36% from three and a whopping 60% from the field. Monmouth on the other hand is coming off a single digit win campaign last season and it does not look to be improving. The Hawks are losing by more than 37 points per game in their first three contests.
Duke Blue Devils and Tennessee Volunteers (over 143.5)
Both of these teams are running and gunning early in the 2011-12 season averaging 82.3 and 88.5 points respectively. A high scoring game with a plethora of runs is a lock. Even if one defense decides to show up, the winner of this game will reach the 80’s and clinch the over.
Texas Longhorns and North Carolina State (over 150.5)
I do not feel quite as confident with this over because the teams are not quite as efficient as Duke or Tennessee. However, the early season performances by these two teams dictate that little if any defense will be played in this game especially by Texas. The Longhorns have both scored and allowed the century mark in the young season and I do not see that style changing any time soon. Expect a lot of turnovers and easy buckets in this high scoring affair.
Godspeed today and may tomorrow be better.
