Default Scorchin & Torchin Thursday

The first game I like today is :

745 La. Lafayette
746 W. Kentucky

Louisiana Lafayette 5-12 SU & 3-12 ATS 3-7 ATS on the road - Have lost 7 in a row ATS & only 2-5 SU in that stretch, in their last five they are scoring 54.8 PF while shooting 36.9% from the field 17.8 3P%. While their defense has allowed 63.4 PA 38.4 FG% 33.3 3P%.


W. Kentucky 13-5 SU, 9-7 ATS, 4-4 ATS @ home - have won 4 of their last five SU and 3-2 ATS. Last five stats - scoring 72.8 PF while shooting 44.9 FG% & 30.3 3P%, Their defense in last 5 have allowed 66.0 PA 40.9 FG% 31.4 3P%.

At home this year W. Kentucky is scoring 80.2 ppg shooting 47.3% from the field & 38.2 from beyond the arc.
And the defense @ home is allowing only 68.6 ppg 42.3% from the field & 30.5 3P%.

La. Lafayette offense away is scoring 63.9 ppg while shooting 41.9% FG & 26.7 3P%, while the defense is allowing 73.0 PA 39.1 FG% 40.2 3P%.

Some trends to consider:
La. Lafayette Recent ATS Trends - after scoring 60 points or less 1-4,
after failing to cover the spread in 3 or more consecutive games 0-4, when playing against a team with a winning record 3-5, versus good offensive teams - scoring 77+ points/game 1-3, in all games 3-12, when the total is 140 to 149.5 0-5, as an underdog 3-5
as a road underdog of 9.5 to 12 points 1-0, in road games 3-7, against conference opponents 0-6, in January games 0-7, after a conference game 0-5, after allowing 60 points or less 0-2.

W. Kentucky Recent ATS Trends - in all games 9-7, when the total is 140 to 149.5 3-4, as a favorite 5-7, as a home favorite of 9.5 to 12 points 1-1, in all home games 4-4,
in a home game where the total is 140 to 144.5 0-2, against conference opponents 3-3, in January games 4-3, after a conference game 3-2, off a win against a conference rival 2-2, when playing against a team with a losing record 2-1, when playing against a team with a losing record after 15 or more games 1-0.

La. Lafayette is 2-0 against the spread versus W. Kentucky over the last 3 seasons.
La. Lafayette is 2-0 straight up against W. Kentucky over the last 3 seasons.

W. Kentucky starting a two game homestand hasn't played since the 21st. Lafayette is coming in starting a two game road trip with less rest, last playing on the 23rd. Lafayette is bringing the #24 ranked team FG% Defense against W. Kentucky's #28 ranked team scoring offense.

I am taking W. Kentucky -10 - buying 1 - 2 units

N. Texas 177

Going with Troy St. +4 - 2 units


S. Alabama 13-4 SU 7-5 ATS 4-2 ATS on the road
Denver 10-9 SU 8-8 ATS 5-2 ATS Home

Denver is 6-1 SU at home this year and 27-6 SU at home last 3 years. Denver is allowing only 60.4 ppg at home this year and beating opponents by an average of 10.5 ppg at home this season. Denver has lost 3 straight road games and returns home for the first time since Jan 14th. Denver is 5-1 ATS at home(8-4 ATS Overall) vs South Alabama since 1997 including 2-0 SU and ATS at home vs South Alabama last 3 years.
South Alabama just had a four game win streak snapped on January 21st @ home against W. Kentucky and had won three in a row ATS 2 of those being on the road, starting a three game road swing tonight. Going with Denver tonight -2 - 2 units

I had two more games that I liked, but some jerk off turned my puter off today while I was gone and hadn't saved what I had written up.
Denver -2 : 2 units
Troy St +4 : 2 units
W. Kentucky -10 buying 1 : 2 units
