Cougar's Early Leans

[Cougar Bait]

First time through the board...here we go...

Wisconsin -6.5
NIU -1
Virginia +19.5
Kentucky +7.5
UConn +6
Penn State -3.5

not much else jumping out at first glance

[DREEZY]

with you on UConn and Penn St.

[eastvan09]

I usually fade ND but not for +6 unless I think Conn wins. Not sure yet

[wookieehumper]

I like the Penn State pick a lot as well, Michigan State is not a good team and I was thinking the line should be more like +7 but the bookmaker probably knows something I don't. UConn +6 looks good on paper, but I don't know a whole lot about the team other than they have played really close in all their big games.

All the other games are a tough call for me.

Wisc, NIU, and Virgina also made it through my first look through.I see a lot of potential in your other 3 leans as well Without having looked deeper, I'm also liking Oklahoma, Rutgers, and Ark.

I also think that Arizona has a lot of value as a 5 point dog at home coming off a big loss.

Liking boise on friday night too.

Revised...

Michigan +13
Virginia +20.5
Rutgers -8
NC State +21
Kentucky +9
UConn +6.5
Penn St. -3
Kansas +28
Kansas St. +16.5
Duke +20
Hawaii -3

Haven't looked at injuries yet

[Cougar Bait]

Scratching Kentucky and Duke due to injuries...and waiting on Hawaii...if Salas can go this is a for sure play.

[Cougar Bait]

Also liking Arkansas and hoping it drops to 9.5 but kinda doubtful...

I may play it even at the current number though.

[Seattle Slew]

What about Indiana +3.5 at home against Purdue? I don't know if Indiana has anything left after their brutal losses the last month, but this would be their bowl game. They are better than half the teams that will be playing in bowl games next month.

[eastvan09]

I really like Michigan. I'm going to play it straight and add it to my parlays bought upto +14.5Q BOL Cougar, Here's to a huge week.

Instead of relying maining on ML parlays I'm going to buy points down from the spread. Dabble with a couple units, probably 10+ teamers with 200+/1 payouts

[titleist1604]

I love arkansas at -11

[Cougar Bait]

Seattle,

This is a big game regardless of the two teams on the field. The Rivalry began in 1891. But in 1925, both schools met to develop a suitable trophy for the winner. Both sides selected an old oaken bucket, "one taken from some well in Indiana," and asked the winning team to attach its bronze block letter (I or P) to signify victory. Thus began the battle for the Old Oaken Bucket. It's such a big game to both teams...I just don't know...you might be on the right side, but I am staying away mostly because I can't figure out Purdue (even though they have won me money this year, and Indiana did last week too).

eastvan and titleist,

good luck to you both

Pass on Virginia. This team is 0-4 both S/U and ATS in their last 4 games. Clemson is playing for the ACC Atlantic Championship. They will crush a Virginia team that has nothing to play for.

As far as Kansas goes, their defense is really terrible and the team has thrown in the towel for the season. Colt McCoy can make a huge statement in this game concerning his Heisman Trophy hopes. Kansas is 0-5 S/U and 0-7 ATS since late September.

Kansas State is a much better play, especially if the line climbs to 17. They are 4-1 in their last 5 games ATS. Nebraska's offense has scored 78 points in their last 5 games, 31 of those coming against a terrible Kansas offense. Of the two Kansas teams, K-State looks like much the better play.

I would also like to see Michigan get 14 at home before I would consider the wager. Ohio State gave up 24 to an Iowa team minus their starting QB. Michigan does have an offense that can put up a lot of points. Ohio State is going to the Rose Bowl, win or lose. Michigan will be playing for a bowl bid. Granted Michigan's defense is non-existant, but Pryor's mentality can lead to total fustration if Ohio State can not score immediately on Michigan. If Michigan can keep it close for three quarters, they will cover, and could win outright.

Good info BigDaddy...agree on most of your thoughts...I'm not giving the big points in the Clemson or Texas games though. GL to you if you play them.

[Cougar Bait]

Michigan +12.5 (would like at least 13 here)
Rutgers -8
NC State +21
Kentucky +9
UConn +6
Penn St. -3
Kansas St. +16.5
Arkansas -10
Hawaii -3

[HoulihansTX]

Michigan +12.5 (would like at least 13 here) Rutgers -8 NC State +21 Kentucky +9 UConn +6 Penn St. -3 Kansas St. +16.5 Arkansas -10 Hawaii -3

Michigan is going to keep it close, plus 12.5, and 13 or the same.

Arkansas is coming off playing shit competition not a good time to take the on a spread that large.

NC State is the worst team in the ACC, and worst Defense. VT is going to do them like they did Boston College. When VT is allowed to get their run game going they are a freight train.

[Cougar Bait]

Appreciate the thoughts...I know NC State D is shit...they have been banged up for awhile...still workin out the kinks guys these are leans (still) since my GF is home Monday and Tuesday nights I have to put the real work in on Wednesdays. Appreciate the insight though Houli, just the same.

You know we helping each other out.

I got alot of people likeing my plays this week... I dont like that. I need some thoughts on the contrary.

Hopefully this committee Wal66 has us on, will help us out.

Let me know what you think about a couple of my leans whenever you have time.

[Cougar Bait]

Yeah no big deal...it's good to have people tell you what's wrong with a certain play. It might be an angle you hadn't thought of...
