    Bowling Green... but I played them when they were +3.

    Having said that, I firmly believe that the Falcons are going to win the game outright... and I am hoping that once 5Dimes releases their moneylines on the college games that I'll be able to snatch Bowling Green @ +135 or higher (should the line move back towards +3).

    i love stuff like this, but really where are they getting their evaluations of this year's teams from?

    and how many services/publications put alot of work into judging this year's teams? i'm thinking it's pretty low.

    as mentioned, curious as to where they get their evaluation of this year's teams from....

    if a service just did the lines based on last year's final power ratings, i would say that would have merit to me. is that what they're doing here? ....... last year's power ratings suggest FState by 6 (FS is home team by my memory) and vandy/olemiss near flat neutral field (not sure home road)....

    The predictions are based on the past 2 years worth of score information and weighted appropriately.

    And yeah, obviously it can't take into account all the players that Rutgers lost.
