    Machine Choice: WVU at Syracuse

    MACHINE CHOICE FOOTBALL: 23-11 (68%)

    Well, Syracuse should actually be 2-4, since they should have lost the Wake Forest game (Syracuse needed OT after Wake QB destroyed them all game before getting injured). And of course they beat Toledo on the classic extra point mis-call. So ask yourself: what would this line be if Syracuse had lost those two games?

    Tonight's game: both teams off the bye, WVU in a revenge spot and getting more comfortable by the week with the new coaching change. Bill Stewart's departure has radically made WVU a better team, and they will victimize Syracuse's horrendous pass defense. Despite having a bad game agaist SU last year, overall Geno Smith is not prone to the turnover (40 TDs, only 10 picks the last 2 years!). That's not good for 'Cuse because turnovers are the only way this game stays close. On offense, Syracuse is very vanilla and presents nothing WVU hasn't seen already on better teams (LSU, Maryland, UCONN). WVU has the 10-ranked pass defense in the nation...again, not good for 'Cuse because they are going to have to throw the ball to keep up with Geno Smith and the evil wizard Holgorsen's aerial assault.

    Syracuse won last year on the strength of a fantastic defense. That team is history. This game is a mismatch and I damn near hung the combo lock on this one (4-0 on those plays this year). Syracuse is only 4-6 ATS in their Dome this year and last, while WVU is 4-2 ATS on the road in the same span.

    Syracuse is about to get handled, don't be on the wrong side.

    Score model:
    West Virginia 39
    Syracuse 21

    WEST VIRGINIA -14

    I pulled out $1,300, which is not even half of the streak money. Then divided my remaining bankroll by 11, and here we go again.

    No opinion. Too many QB changes throughout the year for both teams.

    Love this pick. Bodog currently has WVU -14 for -115. Does anyone see that juice coming down a little or you think I should lock it in now?

    Machine - Your predicted score totals 60 which is what it's currently at on Bodog. Do you have a lean towards over or under on this one?

    Why bother? Late lines and juice is usually -120. Bonuses look nice (in the past any way) but the extra juice wipes that out quick. I use bookmaker and may look for additional books if I can start cleaning up like machine does.

    Rutgers was a 2 point dog this morning and less than 10 hours later they are favored by 1. I locked Rutgers in at 8am this morning and my guy had it at +2.5 and I bought it to 3. Loving RU +3 and WVU -13.5.

    i think wvu distances themselves in the second half, personally. if nothing else cuse will be giving a huge effort in this one early, seeing as how they aren't making it into featured matchups very often anymore. and with this being at home on a friday night espn game... i don't think it will be enough in the second half though.

    that's purely speculation though, i don't have anything to back it up other than a hunch.

    IIRC West Virginia has been disasterous ATS 1st half this year. Awesome in the 2nd half.
