Not a big road favorite player but for some reason quite a few stood out. U guys see anything that looks promising> UCLA-4 @ UTAH, CLEMSON- 13.5@ CUSE, OHIO ST -5.5@ NWSTERN, GA-10.5 @ Tenn.. I like the 1st two, but think Nwstern might give OHIO ST. a game. Dawgs should wax Tenn. but worried about a let down? Also looking ECU-7@ Middle Tenn. UCF-10@ Memphis . Thoughts..

i like them all... except arguably memphis has improved alot and is UCF high scoring??.... but i think i'd do other ones right now.... only one gives me a little pause is northwestern (scrappy team) and maybe stupid thursday/friday games (ucla/utah.... utah teams have been good recently ATS)Comment -
I think Ohio State -5.5 is a real good wager. Ohio State is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 at Northwestern. A win here and they should wrap up the Big 10 Leaders.Comment -
Yeah was just looking at the UCF game, they might have used a lot up during that Scarolina game. however they did put 25 up on them so could put high30's on Memphis. Like a few of these, but The Clemson game has me licking my chops!Comment -
Yeah BigDADDY, jumped on OSU last week at 7 and pushed, did win a bit when it went down to 6.5. SO do you think it goes down or up as the week goes by?Comment -
The over will be a safer bet for the Clemson game. Syracuse is always a tough out at home and has a track record of knocking off ranked teams in the dome. I am a Syracuse homer but I'm not opposed to betting against them, that being said It's not a terrible bet.Comment -
Thanks Earl for the input!Comment -
Don't know about that Clemson game. Syracuse has got some serious momentum, plus a bye week, and will play way over their heads in this one.Comment -
yeah true but they did just beat Wagner and Tulane "patsies" after losing too Penn st. and Nwestern. This Clemson team plays fast and has always looked even faster in indoor stadiums. I am thinking the line is sitting where it is because they only won by 12 @ NCst. . But the over might make sense as you sayComment -
Still not getting the UCLA line either, They went too Nebraska and won there seems like Utah shouldnt be near as difficult. if this was before Oregon or Stanford, I might think looking ahead could factor in but they play Cal next weekComment -
Clemson Homer but not afraid to bet against Clemson as I did in the Nc State game. I like Clemson -13.5 here I think Dabo has these guys pumped. They are looking for a strong road showing after hearing flack about performance on road at NC St. I think you are safe with the over here as long as you believe Syracuse scores 24 or more.Comment -
I'm a bigtime Clemson HOMER. Or fan, if you prefer. But I've also been betting college football for a long time, and a lot of things are lined up right for Syracuse in this one. Still, I wish I could make it to the game. I haven't been to the Carrier Dome since seeing the Grateful Dead there on 10/20/84.Comment -
Northwestern is no joke. Id expect this line to drop from 5.5 maybe as low as 4 early in the week and possibly climb back up closer to kickoff.Comment -
all good input thanks Guys!Comment -
Just saw another nice one with N.tex -2.5@ Tulane. BTW there are Dogs and Home teams I like, but not putting them in this thread. Just road Favs. but actually jumped on UVA-4 at home against Ball st. and has already moved to 5.5Comment -
Not seeing a lot of movement yet except Clemson down to 12.5 in some outletsComment -
I like the lower profile games you picked. While UCF might be ripe for a letdown, the drop in class from South Carolina to Memphis way too hard to ignore. Knights by 17+. I like the call on the Mean Green too. Tulane=turd. ECU should control MTSU and win by 10+. But they seem to have a knack of letting me down when i bet on them or against them.Comment -
Yeah I am with you on ECU, they play the ACC and out of conference tough, but than play down.. Tulane even with Montana son @ QB are not a good team. Going to check the updated N.texas web later to see if there are major injuries, but they have some playmakers that hung with UGA for a while.Comment -
Ok since going up to Tally this weekend,, Locked a few in early and glad I did. UCLA has already moved 2 pts. Also played Clemson-13 O64. Ntexas think the line might have been set lower do to motivation for Tulanes Homecoming, seems like a slap in the face for the visitor IMO. UCF-10, just going to keep rolling with these guys as they have been good to me this year. Stayed away fro UGA, Ohio st. and ECU. Little parlay I threw in with ISU +8, Ucla -4 and the FSU O57 which might come down now do to a tropical system heading towards the panhandle hopefully it stays west. GLComment -
It jumped out at me at first, nothing big just seems like a nice spot to rebound against a team that gives up a lot of rushing yrds. if they play ball control and Parks can grind it out, I think UVA D. will have better chance at keeping the score lower. Its just a play I like but by no means am I saying people should tail.GL! Btw do you like the FSU over against MD. if weather stays ok? Seems like a 31-27 score would happen be easy in this game IMOComment -
Head scratcher to me on a road favorite is Rutgers -4 or 5 at SMU. SMU has been terrible this year getting
beat bad. 80% of public is on Rutgers......are the books really that dumb I don't think so. I probably
want bet this game but my guess would be SMU covers the 5. I just hate betting on bad teams. Smu
returns there best RB this week supposedly. Rutgers leading rusher Paul James is out as is Line Backer
Jamal Merrell. Just think this line is fishy and look for SMU to cover the 4 or 5 points but like I said doubt
I will play it. Good luck to all this week..................

Yeah seems like a few traps out there with road Favs. But you make a good point TNVOL with this, but probably stay away is best. GL!Comment -
K now I see why UCLA was only 4, had to sweat that one out. Looks like storm will stay west and come in Sunday, so hoping the last leg of parlay hits with the FSU over( hate pulling for the other team to score pts.) Tailed some of the W.KY picks last night and that was an easy winner as road fav. , but never initially caught my eye. GL!Comment -
Pretty much why I don't usually bet road favs. split out seems the best you can do or worse. Did hit the parlay and another drunk parlay I put in Friday while in Tally with FSU & Clemson. Which is what really caught my eye at first for this thread. Glad I stayed off the other 3 as that could have been Another O/3 if it wasn't for OSU fluke TD.. Hope all did well!Comment
