went 4-2 the other day, pretty good profit. There are two afternoon games to play at 2:30 PM ET
France -1.5 vs Turkey
Turkey were tipped to be one of the favorites in the Tournament....well unfortunately for them they are far from that. They lost 71-69 to Serbia and were actually down by as many as 16 points at one point. They are facing a French team that has shown true character and went 3-0 in the round robin stages defeating most notably a very good Russian squad 80-71. There is a high level of talent in France and we all know who Tony Parker is, well this team is an all around team, there isn't one individual player who does everything, ever player has a role they fulfil and this is what makes France such a lethel threat. Many of the other teams require huge nites from one or two plaeyrs while the rest of the players are just by standards. So right now from the looks of things France just has to cover Cenk Akyol and Mehmet Yagmur and they should be able to take this one comfortably
Serbia/Russia Over 155.5
This will be an awesome match up. Great Euro basketball rivals Serbia and Russia square off in which should be an offense show down. These two teams have been on fire in their round robins.
Russia
95-81 vs Germany
94-63 vs Lithuania
71-80 vs France
Serbia
110-62 vs Poland
94-89 vs Croatia
71-69 vs Turkey
The reason why i feel this would go over is just simply because both these team do not require defense to win games, they are like the Phoenix Suns. They win games by just outscoring their opponents. Both play a very high tempo approach and i'm pretty sure both will be jostling to get the upperhand.
