    No. Niu is a running team with good defense.

    Remember NIU will be starting a freshman QB on the road in Ryan Graham. He came in and looked great against Toledo last week including 2 fourth quarter scoring drives for the W. Drew Hare is done for the year. Buffalo has a good defense or solid defense,but after watching them in a game they had no business winning against Kent State I just wouldn't trust them. Not saying they can't or won't cover, just no way I can trust them against a far superior team like NIU

    You guys just never learn. Buying points is a sucker play. If you do not have enough confidence in your plays, DO NOT play them. Buying points will cost you money in the long run. Please do not tell me that this is not true. If it were not profitable for the books, they would not offer it.

    Why would you buy to 8 and not 7.5? Why do you need a whole point ... so you can push when they lose by 8 ????

    why would they offer anything that wasn't profitable? why would they offer ml odds of +55,000/-165,000 unless it was profitable? A sharp like yourself would never get suckered into straight ml betting at -1000 odds though.

    They'll need to win the turnover margin by at least 2-0 or 3-1

    Speak for yourself. I don't know if your generalization is accurate or not since it is very doubtful that the statistical data exists to
    substantiate it.

    However I can attest that buying an extra half point or more has been very profitable for me. I don't do it often but when I have
    the number of times it has bailed me out has easily offset the extra juice risked.

    Indiana +7 last week is just one example. The extra juice I risked to get 8 1/2 was a pittance and enabled me to cash a winning ticket while most other Indiana backers lost. Final score: Iowa 35 Indiana 27.

    Not advocating the practice of buying points every game just saying it can be an effective strategy in certain spots.

    Agreed. Can't wait to fade him hard when this sorry Bulls team becomes bowl-eligible.
