A tough week to choose from because there are not many games that will fall into this catagory.
Should we pick on poor Florida International again? They lost to Indiana at home last week. (My play). This week they host another Big 10 team, Maryland. FIU is 1-9 ATS at home off a S/U non-conference loss. Maryland started out with a rout against Howard (who ever they are) but is 0-5 ATS after scoring 35 points. They are around -380.
We also have Louisville (-600) at Syracuse. Now Louisville still has a dream about winning the ACC, but they are in the perfect look ahead situation with Florida State on deck. They are 12-2 ATS away vs teams with a .666> record. Syracuse just wants to win 6 or more games to become bowl eligible. They are also 1-10 at home as weekday dogs.
You also have Cincinnati at Purdue, at a cheap price of -250. The problem there is that Cincinnati hosts Houston 5 days later. Again, a major look ahead situation.
I will probably pass on the North Carolina teams who are favored. New Mexico may be worth a look at N.M. State, but I would not give more than -400. It is a bit high now. Then there is Boston College at UMass, but anyone give -800 or so with a team that managed only 14 points against GA. Tech's defense?
Sometimes the best wager is no wager at all, and this may be one of those weeks.
