    Why is SMU an underdog tonight?

    I dont understand. On paper they look 10 points better.

    Tough to win in Orlando.
    -3 is about right.

    A bunch of SMU players are sitting out the rest of the season. It's been in the news.

    Then, shouldn't the line be a lot higher for UCF?

    I thought about taking SMU, but decided to lay off it after seeing the trends of no away dog covered from 2007 onwards.

    Can you please post a link to that news about SMU players sitting out? Thanks in advance.

    How the hell do they look 10 points better? Lol. They are just about even with a slight edge to UCF due to being at home

    Both teams suck so bad. Would give the edge to SMU and perhaps their new coach has something to prove vs ex Auburn guy. That said, UCF over due in this spot. Yet again, SMU over due for a cover if you’ve followed their last 2 games.

    Pretty much a solid no touch

    I'm just curious. Are you up or down for the season on football?

    Some of your picks were totally disastrous. Something like 0 wins for whatever.

    You did good taking ML on one of the teams and kept it up live and they all cashed, but besides that I thought you were losing your socks off.

    Ucf qb blows and so does malzahn. Another overrated offensive mind. Running 80 plays a game doesnt mean you have a good system. He sucked at auburn and still sucks.

    Over 63.5 then. Worth the shot considering neither plays much of any defense.

    That's freaking 9+ TDs.

    SMU giving up 180.5 ypg on the ground facing a running qb in Plumlee.

    Flip side: Bounce House is a tough place to play, though it won't be packed. Game is sold out because it was to be played last Saturday/ Sunday on parents weekend. Most of those parents have gone home and there are tons of resale listings dirt cheap as those buyers try to recoup some of that ticket money.

    I believe Knights get it done tonight, win by 10

    Only one that really sees the field is the sophomore safety. The other 3 dudes really aren't getting playing time

    I dont see what you are seeing in UCF. SMU lost by a TD to both Maryland and TCU. Both of those teams have proven that they are legit. SMU wins tonight.

    SMU faced TCU and Maryland though. They're both top 25 teams. The way I see it, comes down to how much stock you put into the Louisville/UCF game. Lville plays shit defense (see BCgame) with no discipline and poor tackling and they still shut down UCF.

    Its like a horse race where a horse might not have great results, but he's dropping in class. SMU is dropping in class big-time after TCU and Maryland. They can score and if they lead then they can stack the line and slow down the run. Still though UCF has a solid homefield advantage and should be able to run the ball on SMU somewhat.

    Final factor for me is Gus Malzahn. Shit coach and Idk how anyone only scores 14 on Louisville at home? Seriously any random MAC team would put 20+ on them. If I lose then I put too much stock in the Louisville game, but 14 vs Louisville is a shocking total. SMU also blew them out last year and has that confidence

    I'm taking SMU ML/Over 51.5 (+170) MGM

    Considering Mordecai Over 313.5 passing Bovada because he's went for 369, 372, and 432 in their 3 competitive games so far. Should hit if they're winning and will definitely hit it if they're losing

    Agree I’d feel more comfortable with SMUs coach and QB. Again though, UCF feels overdue in these spots (which doesn’t really mean much). I had thought the line was getting steamed yesterday and figured to take UCF small — but now idk since I could make an argument for both sides

    I ended up with more on Mordecai Over 306.5 and 313.5 then the game itself. DK had 335 or something so these lines on Bovada just looked too good. 3 games with 369+ passing already

    Now Rice drops a ball for atleast 20 yards. Mordecai is doing his thing. I have SMU ML/Over 51.5 so I need a few UCF TDs too

    I can’t tell if this games about to rip 2nd half, or if that’s just the script

    2H over for me.
    You would think the number would be around 30
