        E. Car Def may be legit but they've never seen anything like Ark def. May be a low scoring affair, like 27-10 Ark

          EC will be fired up to play SEC Arkansas. Beware. But if Arkansas comes out fired up, they will blow them out. Tough call, wait for more info before you unload.
          Put 1/2 on Ark and 1/2 on over, you can probably be safe that Ark will get their points! Good hedge.

            TCU by 21+ over Boise!! Boise has NO defense and that weak-armed lefty QB might light up the WAC but TCU has a SEC style defense! TCU beat the $hit out of Utah and how did Utah do against Alabama last year? TCU might be the #1 team in the country and definitely no worse than #2!

                TCU is awesome, no doubt. But when was the last time Boise St lost by more than 20 points?

                  I haven't really looked into it, but I like Arkansas at -7 as an early lean. Hoping it comes down.

                    I'm thinking it will probably only go up. I am going to put down my bet on payday, this Friday. I'll most likely buy it down to -6.5.

                        leaning ECU +8 i know Ark has a good passing team, but ECU just faced the #1 passing team and beat them.. ECU will win the turnover battle and cover... maybe win the game.

                          no offense i like ecu and all they been good to me but they beat the number 1 passing team because that team has no fukin defense ecu has a solid team but points will be hard 2 come by in this 1. ill take the team that has been playing tough teams all year. lets face it its not like ecu shut hou offense down and they wont shut ark down either the big change is that ark is more than capable of limiting ecu on the offensive side something hou hasnt done to any1 all year

                                  So you are saying ECU will be fired up and could win or cover. On the other hand if Arkansas comes out fired up they could blow out ECU. To summarize, we have a 50/50 chance at a sure thing. Sounds good to me. Thanks.
                                  I hope smartass comments are acceptable this late in the season.

                                    Already missed the Ark train when it was at 7, not going to dive into at 8, maybe lean to ECU now.

                                      Line is at 7.5 on my sportsbook (The Greek). It's been at that number for 2 weeks now. It's still a steal to buy it down to -7. After more handicapping this match-up, I think Arkansas should be favored by 10-14 points - still my favorite bowl game!!!

                                        I am not so sure about this game. ECU does have a decent defense while I highly doubt Arkansas is going to come out "fired up" to play East Carolina. I think this line is about right at -7.

                                        My favorite play right now is Texas Tech -8 vs Michigan State. Tex Tech is going to put up a lot of points on MSU and I don't think Sparty will be able to keep up.

                                          Like it at 7 but not at 8??? This is an SEC team who faced the toughest SOS in the country against ECWHO? I like ECU, a good team, decent coach, won their conference, but lets keep things in perspective. I see all these people in love with KY+7.5 over Clemson but hesitate at ARK-7.5 over ECU? This could be the biggest blowout on the board & it's a little over a TD line?

                                                ECU has a terrible pass defense. Mallett starts his Heisman run with a 300-350 yard performance against ECU. This is Arkansas they are playing. An SEC team, not some CUSA team who'se defense could not stop a 5th grad flag football team.

                                                    I like Fresno this weekend. Based on how Wyoming played their last 6 games, I don't see how they can hang with Fresno.

                                                      Arkansas is a good play... I like it.Ecu will not be able to move ball cosistently, Smith will run all over them, and Mallett will pick them apart. Ecu does not have the speed to play at Arkansas level. Good play

                                                        Fresno State and Nevada are the biggest of my early bowl plays...

                                                          Using Arkansas and Defense in the same sentence is an oxymoron.

                                                            Over whatever the total is when you get in in the SMU/Nevada game. I don't care if it goes to 80, play the over. This game is going to get close to 100. This game seriously may be over 72(where I got it), going into the 4th quarter.
