I don't know about strong; although I haven't locked it up yet. The thing that worries me is Ohio is a good team but in reality they haven't put teams away this year.

They have won four games by fewer than eight points and those teams aren't really that good, either: Akron, Buffalo, University of Massachusetts, and Marshall.

I would of like to see the line at 13-14 in this teaser spot however in the end I believe that I'll pull the trigger since its a mid-week play and more of a spot play due to the upset last weekend, so I think this is a great bounce back spot nonetheless.

BOL on the rest of your plays

Very true but I don't think emu has the offense or defense to compete on either side of the ball ohio should be able to score at will

as stated ohio dont put teams away and many times they get out the gate slow....EMU +17

I got OHIO in a ML parlay. ML parlay Ohio, Miami, WKU, and Chargers. 100 to win 298

Ohio shit the bed last week, made Miami (Ohio) look good, especially defensively
Maybe Ohio ML but 17 seems like a huge number

EMU is only giving up 188 yards in the air on defense whereas Ohio is giving up 266. I would think Eastern Michigan's offense should be able to move the ball in the air.

The problem I really see is EMU gives up over 300 yards on the ground however Ohio likes to pass the ball a little more then run the rock. Ohio maybe force to bring the running game resulting in eating up the clock. If so, we have a low scoring game and back door cover opportunity that would need to be avoided at -16.5 on a line that open at -17 and was as low as -15.5.

I don't know about getting out of the gate slow. I would say about average considering that Ohio averages 34 PPG in which a little more then half of those points are within the 1st two quarters at 18 points.

ohio avg 48 running plays and 31 passing plays a game....that alot of clock eatin' up...my line is -9

There pass defense isn't reliable because whose going to throw the ball when your picking up 300 yards a game on the ground? Not every team is going to put up 300 in passing and rushing. 2nd emu can't rush and last week vs BGSU EMUs QB struggled immensely in was his 5th start I believe going 11-24. This isn't the EU team of old that could atleast run and play defense.

Benz is also only completing a tad over 54% of his passes.. I think this ohio team and can shut them down

Dom177 · 11-01-12, 10:52 AM

They will probably shut EMU down but doesn't mean they will cover. Tricky mid week game best to just lay off. The ML is too juicy so I just stuck with CHargers in my ML parlay. Seems like a lot of times on this board people over estimate the "revenge" or bounce back factors. Although they are both factors, sometimes people give them more credit than they are worth IMO

Hopefully ohio starts with a td next possession, although emu missed that field goal emu hasn't been able to drive the field. Started at the 30 and midfield
