I now its early,but I'm hoping on before the line FLUX!
Rice-8 now-9 over Marshall
Marsh just don't have the weapons to keep up with the Owls here + their pass defense is horid
UAB +7 now+6 over Ecarolina.ECU has been a terrible road Fav this year and has struggled against mobile QBs since their injury issues.
UTEP+15 over Houston.The Cougs were a nice win for me last week,but should have saved some of those points for this week.A shootout is in the Cards.15 points is a gift in this type of game!!!
Tulsa -28 now -29 over Tulane.Tulsa takes their rescent woes out on the Green Wave.Tulane's D is awful against the run and the pass as we get back to those early season blowouts that we were accustom to seeing by Tulsa.They hang 70 this week!
BYU+6 over Utah. The pressure gets to UTAH this week!6 pnts is a huge spread in this game.This series has been closely played over the years.Home field adv means shit to me here in this in-state rivalry.I'm straighting all of these+ parlaying them!!!

Most of these are going against the power ratings but power ratings don't mean shit to me!Putting to much Conf in the power ratings has bit me on the ass alot throughout the years!

good luck guru-t...I'm probably not going to play any of these games....But I'm going to load up a decent amount on Utah -6.

I think BYU blows. They have no defense and they will have a repeat of what TCU did to them a few weeks ago. BYU has played a horrible schedule, they got destroyed by the only team as good as Utah (TCU) and played close with the only other decent team they have faced (air force). Good luck with the rest though

Thanx Dbldown!Good luck on UTAH.TCU has one of the best defenses in the country+it was one of those Thur night games.The fact that this is such a huge game leads me to believe that it'll be a FG either way.GL!

Hey Guru....any thoughts on CSU/Wyoming?

I'm leaning CSU -2.5. Wyoming is bad and CSU has been fairly solid this year. However they do have a poor road record. Their road games have all been against pretty good teams though with the exception of SDSU (their one road vicotory) Whatr ur thoughts on this one?

guru-t · 11-18-08, 05:01 PM

I don't have a very strong opinion on this one to be honest with you.I'm leaning toward CSU also but the Cowboys have actually been coming on a bit.Not that Wyoming has been impressive,but they have been more competitive than earlier this year.I'm not touching it.

I'm working on the Memphis-CFla game at the moment.I can't believe I missed this one.This one is looking very interesting!!!

Dbldown11 · 11-18-08, 05:09 PM

i think UCF is getting too many points there myself

guru-t · 11-18-08, 05:13 PM

At this point,I think Memphis looks good!I'll post more in-dept thoughts when I get done.

guru-t · 11-18-08, 05:25 PM

Sorry!False alarm.I'm not going to play this.Tossup.I'm not one of those who is going to post something unless I feel strong about it.I jumped the gun on Memphis!!!!

Dbldown11 · 11-18-08, 05:27 PM

haha I did the same thing guru-t...at first glance I thought Memphis was the play....then thought they were giving up too much. Ended up not playing it

guru-t · 11-18-08, 05:36 PM

I feel we made a nice read on that one.The only play that I have put in thus far is Rice-8.I know you don't like them but their trend sheet against Marshall is amazing!I definitely don't go on trendsheets alone.It's the matchup that I really like.I'm still pondering the UTAH-BYU game.I like NmexSt as well.

Oh yeah!!I am on NIU-3 tonight!!!

Dbldown11 · 11-18-08, 05:46 PM

not trying to sway you to bet Utah...but I think you should look at BYU's schedule....every team they have played is pretty poor, except for TCU (which killed them) and colorado state is average, but no where near as good as Utah...BYU struggled mightily with them.

They also struggled @ Washinton, only winning because of an absurb "celebration" call. They just havnt impressed me, I may be wrong but those are my thoughts.

I deffinately can see Rice putting up a ton of points, but can they hold Marshall with that defense???

and I think that is way too many pts. for a below average bad road team in Louisiana tech to give up...I'm on that one also.

After Utah St almost came up with the vic at La-Tech last week,The pass happy AGGIES should win this one outright!!!BYU-UTAH is starting to give me headaches!!!I don't know what to do which means I'm probably going to leave it alone.As a matter of fact,I am.Hope Utah cov for ya.Oh shit!Need to edit BYU from my post!The schedulu thing with BYU is worrying me a bit.
