Message: [QUOTE="JeremyCuse, post: 5081006, member: 43"] Tough lines this week, gone back and forth on a couple, as noted would probably avoid most of these during the year but not an option obviously now. Notre Dame -4.5 - Feels like Vegas is begging people to take Gtown here. ND having lost to Gtown earlier in the year and playing less then stellar last week I think sets this up for a ND blow out win. Late backdoor cover could be an issue but I think ND comes out and sends a message Maryland +3.5 - I like Duke here but 3.5 is just to much with an up and down Duke team. Concern here is that this becomes a semi shoot-out and Maryland O simply can't keep up. Maryland has the faceoff, D and Goalie to make this a game, though I can't see them winning outright and I worry a bit about a repeat of the Maryland/UVA matchup here. Cuse -2.5 - Toughest of all the games is this matchup. I think Cuse wins but I could easily see a 1 or 2 goal game. I may end up switching this over to Denver as this feels like the SU hop/uva matchups where you knew it would be tight late but right now I have to roll with the Cuse. UVA -2 - This is another game where you can talk yourself into either team fairly easily. Hop winning earlier in the year clearly shows they can win this game but I think probably hurts their overall chances of winning this game, the same as G-town. UVA has a myriad of issues they don't normally have but having their #1 fogo in this game and clearly having the more potent overall O I think gives them the edge. Hopkins D is really good but that offense just grinds to a halt far to often and UVA inevitably will go on a run at some point in this game and I think will be to much for Hop. Ghobriel playing is huge for the X matchup as Hopkins can struggle there. This feels like one of those games where UVA somehow ends up winning by 1 and blowing the cover late. [/QUOTE]
