Takes Money To Make Money (NCAA Week #11)

[ackem19]

thank you sir. GL to you as well.

[eastvan09]

Ohio/Buffalo total is 45 at The Greek. My other book doesn't have a total yet. U 45 is the play then....

[HoulihansTX]

UNDER is the call no matter the line. But I cant get the total until tomorrow. I bet at a sportsbook in vegas.

[eastvan09]

I hope you get a good line at your book. I'm going U-45

Tuesday Night Play

Ohio U/ Buffalo UNDER 46.5

[eastvan09]

I'm 0-1 too.. time to bounce back to profit for the week!

[eastvan09]

Early College Football Totals from two of my books:

USF/Rutgers 45.5/46
Iowa/Oh St 36.5
Mich/Wisc 54
Kent/Vandy 43.5/44
Troy/Ark 66/66.5

Other lines:
UCF ML +170
Tennessee ML +160

Other: I am scrutinizing these totals further-->
Clemson/ NC St 58/58.5-O
Fl St/ Wake 57/57.5-O
Houston/UCF 64-O
Fres St/ Nev 69.5-O

I know Iowa/Oh St should be low scoring but will the score be several points under 36.5 for a safe cushion? Like Oh St 20-6 etc...

I'm done. The Dog plays have no lines, because I'm waiting for them to move in the Dogs favor. Totals will be posted once the lines are released. Look out for my Underdog ML plays, both of their opponents are primed to be upset.

GL to all this week. I'm open to discussion with all of my plays.

How did I miss this guy? Nice job on the year so far, 40-25 in NCAAF is f***ing amazing! Hope your winning streak continues because I'm on some of those games already. BOL

I'm on the following plays,

Miami (OH) ML

Temple -4

Indiana +26.5

S. Carolina +15.5

Tenn +5

ECU +6

[eastvan09]

BOL Houlihan!, I'm probably going to scratch Iowa/ Oh St as well

[ackem19]

HoulihansTX,
I was feeling pretty strong about Pittsburgh and I noticed you were on Notre Dame. Any chance you can give a little write up as to why.

I'm on Pitt because after watching them a few times this year, I've been really impressed with their Pass Defense and Rushing Game. Most of ND's offense is going to come through the air and at times, they've struggled with their Rush D. Statistically, Pitt has the advantage. Pitt averages 5.1 yards per rush to ND's 3.9. On defense, Pitt allows 3.1 yards per rush to ND's 4.4 yards per rush. Through the air, Pitt averages 8.4 yards per pass to ND's 8.9 while. On defense Pitt allows 7.1 yards per pass and ND allows 8.0 yards per pass. ND is 0-7 ATS with 6 days or less rest while Pitt is 4-1. In the last 3 years, ND is 3-7 SU/ATS in November games while Pitt is 5-3 SU/ATS.

Aside from statistical data, ND has been at home for the last 5 weeks and now they have to head out on the road for a primetime game in Pittsburgh. I think Dion Lewis will dominate ND's defense opening up the passing game which ND also hasn't been particularly well at defending.

Houl's I'm liking Indiana as well. Not sure if it'll be on my card or not but it has serious potential. Good luck this weekend on your entire card.

I think Dion Lewis will dominate ND's defense opening up the passing game which ND also hasn't been particularly well at defending.

Pitts is going to win, but how much is going to be sketchy. Pitt doesnt blitz, rather sit back in zone coverage. That can get picked apart by Norte Dame. Also Pitt plays a more common style of Offense, so the running yards racked up by Navy are irrelevant. Also Pitts Def is more common also. Those factors are easier to prepare against, as an opponent(Norte Dame). Outside of USC no one has blown them out, or stopped their Offense. Pitt is not USC.

The thing that made me lean Norte Dame was the pure desperation the team will be in. The coach possibly getting fired, being called a joke by national media. They have so many intangibles on their side that I will expect inspired play. Also I know you may disregard this, but Dave Wannested is the Pitt head Coach, and he is known for inconsistency. He doesn't get the troops fired up to beat opponents, rather Pitt slowly builds up steam on to a win against teams that shouldn't even be on the same field asthem.

Syr/Pitt game Halftime score 13-3 Pitt
Louisville/Pitt Halftime score 10-7 Louisville

Syr/Pitt Final Score 37-10
Louisville/Pitt Final Score 35-10
They also lost to NC State(11th ranked team in the ACC)

Pittsburgh players are going to see that Norte Dame lost to Navy, a team that Pitt beat by 13, and not take them seriously.

Last Years Meeting: 36-33 Pitt (Pitt -3 Turnovers)

But I backed off simply b/c I have better plays, and I have only bet against Norte Dame this year. I'll keep it that way.

GL with your wager, bro. Do you like any games on are Let-Down/ Look-Ahead list?

[ackem19]

You have a good point about Wannested and I do think that Pitt will have a tough time stopping ND's offense especially with the addition of Michael Floyd. After posting my argument for Pitt, i did some more homework and truth be told, i actually leaning towards ND. I may put like $20 on it if i win other plays on Saturday seeing how it's a 5pm game. As far as LD/LA's this week, I like Mississippi St at home +12.5 and Iowa +17. I think MSU's defense is going to be a challenge for McElroy and it should be a low scoring game and I think Bama is going to run a lot more in order to manage the clock and prevent McElroy from turning it over. As far as Iowa goes, even without Stanzi they are still top defensive team. Pryor's inaccuracy will be costly against a Hawkeyes defense that forces a lot of turnovers. Although I do like MSU, i don't see myself betting against Bama this week but I'll probably put some money on Iowa.

[Ralphie1412]

I love Pitt

[Cougar Bait]

I love Pitt

Have to agree with Ralphie here...Pitt 6-2 ATS this year. Also did a small write up in my thread if you care to check it out. With you on Temple, Indiana, & WVU this week though. I don't play too many totals, but you seem to be good at it. GL this week Houlihans.

Thank you for not overreacting to one week of football.

Gave you a little rebuttal to your argument on Pitt. Adding to what I didnt already post.

Great Job Houlihans!

Should not Temple and West Virgina be under Friday night games?

[HoulihansTX]

Should not Temple and West Virgina be under Friday night games?

I guess. I'm really not that particular about how my plays are identified. I just post them. But yes they are Friday night games.

[eastvan09]

Go Temple! I'd like to win one win from my weeknight MAC picks! In future I'll cutback my weeknight MAC picks further. MAC too inconsistent for me
BOL for the rest of your card

[HoulihansTX]

Houls, do u have any opinion on the Cincy/WVU total?

Nope. The total is right were it should be. So I didnt see an edge on either side.

(7-3) so far

[eastvan09]

Awesome so far Houlihan! All my totals won this morning. I decided not to play my leans on Fl St/Wake and Hou/UCF.. even those would have won. I stepped back to my strongest plays. Temple and Indiana were huge.. Now all my parlays need Pitt to win SU!!!!

[Cougar Bait]

Excellent week going so far Houlihan. Very impressive. Keep it up
