Tulsa @ E Carolina

**soFLA** · 09-05-10, 01:43 AM

i took the 7 and ecu on this one. i have a hard time going against a home dog especially when its mediocre teams involved. ecu may not be good but they are playing tulsa. i feel like this is going to be a close, low scoring game. but then again i could be dead wrong. went 4-1 today though so i probably have way too much confidence in my picks.

There is a poster on here who follows ECU closely and he is all over ECU - the point tom.

Why does it look so easy to take the Golden Hurricane at -7 here? Not sure how many Tulsa is returning but I know the Pirates aren't expecting much this year. About to start looking at this one...what are the thoughts so far from anyone who follows the conference?

I think I know who you're referring to but haven't seen his pick for this one. On paper...thinking Tulsa...but I'm not exactly a CUSA expert

. I lean that way due to the spread offense and returning QB and WR from last season...while ECU lost the running back and Pinkney at QB...and they only have 2 starters returning on defense. I'll look into it some more and maybe some CUSA guys can add to it.

E Carolina only bringing back 7 returning starters on offense and defense.

Tulsa has 14 returning starters.

**crackerjack** · 09-05-10, 07:58 AM

Ecu pounded Tulsa last year in Tulsa. I think ppl make too much of the returning starters stat. Not saying Tulsa won't cover but they are going on the road starting a td behind. Under 60 is real tempting

**stc9357** · 09-05-10, 08:45 AM

Take Under 60 and ECu this coming from a guy who lives 30 minutes outside of the city ECU is in I follow them closely and might even go to the game today.

Homer alert.

I can't believe how so many cappers are betting in first week of NCAAF? Best way is to wait for 2-3 weeks to see teams' performance/strength etc.

**teaserpleaser** · 09-05-10, 09:19 AM

I'll be on something at half time after watching the first half... I just cant take an under with Ecu running the TT air raid i know it could take a few games for lincoln riley to get it going but i just can't i dont think Tulsa's defense is that good i dont think they have the DBs or pass rush to shut it down. Tulsa should be solid on offense im not sure about that Ecu defensive front and the defense as a whole.

**Aussiecapper101** · 09-05-10, 09:27 AM

ECU +7.5 locked in for me

**chazzy** · 09-05-10, 09:31 AM

ECU is the play here

if i could have every week be opening week of cfb i would love it.

**MTek** · 09-05-10, 09:35 AM

Tulsa returning 9 offensive starters but 1-5 ATS last 6 games
ECU returning 8 starters total, lowest in FBS, 5 on offense 3 on defense, ECU 9-2 SU in last 11 home games

**PDW** · 09-05-10, 09:36 AM

I am thinking of teasing tulsa down to a pick

I might be a homer but I don't even like the team so no bias, I'm a Maryland fan!

if u dont look deep into the stat of returning starters, then y would last years game mean anything if most of the guys who played in it last year rnt this year

went 4-1 yesterday so im glad i didnt take that approach.....

**Addicted2Action** · 09-05-10, 10:34 AM

ok before i start what im about to say i have a warning, i am much better at nfl totals and usually fuk up college totals the rare times i play them, ok that said here it is.......

really liking the over 59 in this one, tulsa offense has been a power (yes they regressed a little last year) this is the first time there head coach gets a returning qb during his tenure, there D is not good at all...ECU brought in a former TTech assistant and are going to the spread they have some weapons and a boston college transfer at qb that i hear has looked good runing the spread, ECU is also thin on D losing some key players from last year...i looked at this a lot last night trying to find a side but this total just kept screaming at me........

like i said take it for what it is worth as college totals certainly are not my strong point, but nfl totals are and they only a week away

........gl everyone whatever you decide.....

wow total is dropping, like i said college totals not my strong point...lol

**redrum** · 09-05-10, 10:49 AM

i like ecu in this one also

**spankmythighs** · 09-05-10, 10:55 AM

Teasing 7 pts on E. Caro with the under aswell and TT to cover with the under there aswell. All teased by 7. Damn you K State for running that last TD yesterday. That really f'd me out of $1350. Had them in a 10 game tease where I had UCLA +8 and my other 9 won. BS!!

Really I feel that the best part of the year to bet is early on. You have more time to research games and the lines are not as tight.

**SportsLockPicks** · 09-05-10, 11:23 AM

bottom fell out of the total...if there is anything I know about Tulsa is that they are constantly bad ats on the road, and any team running a spread can compete with that...i'd take ECU on the moneyline today (+245)

**Fieldysnuts44** · 09-05-10, 11:54 AM

total at 57 think Im going to take over now

wish i would have waited but was afraid i would sleep through the start and took it at 59 before i went to sleep

hopefully it doesnt cost me but for the life of me i cant figure out why this game doesnt fly past 60, which probably means it will be 3-0

I think certain teams match up well with certain other teams. I just think the stat is a bit overrated not useless. Not saying ecu is the play either but 7 seems like a lot of points to give the home team. I am leaning on the home dog here but it prob should be a pass.

56 now . pinny and favoring under
OVER 56 -102
UNDER 56 -108

**itchypickle** · 09-05-10, 12:11 PM

Think I'm gonna pass until halftime. Went ahead and placed some on the 1H Over for the Red Raiders game though (28)

**Mr Windy City** · 09-05-10, 12:15 PM

Under now -111 on pinny. Something going on.

**Mr Windy City** · 09-05-10, 12:15 PM

I'm liking ECU. Screw this total.
