No real offense taken. I agree that nothing is truly a guaranteed win! I'm sorry if you are offended by the term 'lock'. Good luck to you as well!

I like this play because North Texas loves high scoring games, and Ball State crushes the totals at home. Ball St. minus isn't bad either, but with a team that has the ability to score, anything can happen. Now that I've done my homework, can I go outside and play?

**potsie** · 09-01-09, 08:25 PM

Actually, the more I look into this play, the more I also like the -16.5 for Ball State at home. They can carry the total by themselves, but if you want to hedge it, the minus is a solid play. Remember, there are no locks in sports betting. No matter what Jim "The Hammer" whatever his nuts says!

Just posting the play I like for Thursday. I'm not trying to get you to bet your house or anything. Good luck!

I say the ebst bet is Utah over Utah State w/ possibly the over as well

Good luck on your play! I usually shy away from picking a side in regional matchups, but I do think Utah is the better team. I'll be pulling for you.

utah state is poop, having seen them play against Nevada and other WAC contests, they are just terrible, Utah should be able to easily out muscle them

Goodness, a possible double fade from you on the same game!

The Utah line is at -20.5...I agree with your assessment, and I'm on it as well. Good luck!
