Bingo but Marshall looks so bad im not sure he can fukk this up. But He might.

**Michigan** · 09-09-10, 11:17 PM

I like West Virginia but this could be hard to cover for them.

**msj0001** · 09-09-10, 11:18 PM

I might have to buy it down to WVU -11.5 and take my chances, I just think Noel Divine (who is so dirty) will have a field day

**Intuitive_Edge** · 09-09-10, 11:36 PM

if it goes to +/-14, Marshall

**cashman** · 09-09-10, 11:43 PM

wv covers

love watching him play

**LostBankroll** · 09-09-10, 11:53 PM

Id say tease this game instead of buying the points on a straight wager. I dont know shit about these teams but is WVU really 13 points better than Marshall? Maybe, Maybe not. See, I see NO edge in this game. If ANYTHING tease it down to -6/-7 and it should hit. I think that WVU -6.5 1st Half is the BEST play in this game. But I still wouldnt lay a large wager on it. Just consider it before making your play. Best of Luck as always.

**soFLA** · 09-09-10, 11:56 PM

gotta think over 46.5 wvu might score that on their own

Something to consider. I have to make some sort of wager to make it interesting

**antifoil** · 09-10-10, 12:13 AM

i think teasing this game is a good idea too

**22dsnyd22** · 09-10-10, 12:17 AM

love wv -6.5 1H. my book has it at 7 though and im thinking it may not get back there. if it does im def playing it. BOL

**isles71** · 09-10-10, 12:56 AM

Does Marshall have any chance to win at home? Any at all. Want to parlay this game and the other one, man I need to make bets not point related.

WVU SHOULD win here. But ofcourse anything can happen. I think if you take WVU ML you have 1 winning leg of a parlay.

**RPP** · 09-10-10, 02:46 AM

Friday night nationally televised game. I've got Marshall to complete a 2 teamer.

**MUHerd37** · 09-10-10, 02:46 AM

Those of us from the area know this as "The Friends Of Coal Bowl". Years ago Marshall and WVU couldn't agree on playing each in a series because WVU was acting like a bunch of pussies and wanted to host the majority of the games instead of heading to Huntington to play. The thought of them losing to Marshall scares the hell out of WVU. Eventually the governor of West Virginia had to step in and forced the two teams to play (with some stipulations on how the host would be determined). I went to Marshall but I really like WVU here. I'm thinking about just going all in on the WVY ML. It was listed at -476 just a little bit ago and I was amazed when I saw it was that low. I figured it would be above -1000. I was thinking about just laying down the 476 but now I'm thinking to just say fukk it and go all in. Marshall got killed by Ohio St. but of course WVU is no Ohio St. Marshall's offense sucked horribly against Ohio St., gaining just 199 yards and didn't even score. Their 7 points came off of a blocked field goal. WVU posted a shutout against Coastal Carolina who is a FCS team. The WVU defense should be able to handle the Marshall offense. Defensively Marshall allowed 529 yards of offense to Ohio St. There can't be too much of an improvement this week considering WVU has Noel Devine and Jock Sanders who are absolutely great talents and are so damn fun to watch. Their speed and agility will be too much for Marshall to handle I believe. WVU gained 400 yards last week against Coastal Carolina. They might not get 400 yards this week but they should still rack up some good yardage. In the last 5 games only 1 has been played @ Marshall and WVU won 48-23. The scary thing is that WVU won at home last year 24-7, only after Devine scored 2 4th quarter TDs. Marshall actually led 7-6 at halftime and WVU struggled to pull away. However, last year Marshall was a pretty decent bowl team and WVU's starting QB Jarrett Brown was knocked out of the entire game in the very first series. This series resumed 4 years ago and since then WVU has outscore Marshall 141-43. In short, I think the Marshall offense won't be able to produce much against a good WVU defense. Also, I don't think the Marshall defense can stack up against the WVU offense. Should I go all in? Any thoughts?

**qhdlhdjtn** · 09-10-10, 02:58 AM

WVU -12.5 easy money

**Bswitz32** · 09-10-10, 03:46 AM

nothing is easy but I to think WV covers 13 easily....Marshall wont score that much but WV could dominate and get 40 some points themselves. Maybe look Over

BOL

I see no reason why you shouldnt go ALL in on WVU ML. I do this shit all the time in football. Shit I just layed SD -200 and NY -270 for week 1. No way these lose either. Sometimes playing the ML is the better play than the spread. This is one case where this is true.

Do this long enough and you'll find "the no way these lose either" to be a bit of a stretch. I understand the objective here and it can work for awhile. Problem is. like I said, do this long enough and not only will one of these kind of moneyline plays lose, but two will lose in a row....eventually.

Unless you were betting to win $10, you will be in quite a hole. Try to get it back using the same kind of play and it better go right or you have ventured into a black hole.

Having said that, I do believe you are safe on the WVU play. Now having said that, if you insist on big moneyline fav plays, try to limit them to home teams. If you start this stuff on big road favs you will live up to your posting handle.

**WVUsuperfan** · 09-10-10, 08:17 AM

WVU hasnt scored more than 35 points in a game since their Fiesta Bowl victory over Oklahoma 2 yrs back.. so just keep that in mind

**WVUsuperfan** · 09-10-10, 08:19 AM

I take that back.. they scored 48 in their home opener against powerhouse Villanova back in 2008.. that was the last time they went over 35 in a game

I'm normally not much of a teaser guy in NCAAF, but I agree that the best look is a 7 pt tease down to -5.5.

**bigguyz** · 09-10-10, 09:55 AM

West Va covers easily, Marshall looked awful against Ohio St. Noel is gonna run wild! Easy play

**timmyboy34243** · 09-10-10, 10:02 AM

marshall + for me and rickj

**Bostongambler** · 09-10-10, 10:12 AM

W. Virg. I agree

**wake14** · 09-10-10, 10:17 AM

HOw could WV not cover this??? Marshall??

**msj0001** · 09-10-10, 10:29 AM

I'm teasing it.....2 Team Teaser with WVU -6.5 and UGA +8.5

**bigguyz** · 09-10-10, 10:29 AM

Marshall gave up 529 yards of offense and I believe West Va is more potent offense then Ohio St., more weapons on the offensive side of the ball. Oh St. has a better defense then West Va, however West Va has much better athletes on the field then Marshal, and Marshall should NOT be able to move the ball up and down the field. I can see a 21+ victory for West Va.

Score prediction: West Va, 33 Marshall 10

**Holdin Aces** · 09-10-10, 10:44 AM

Guys I am completely unbiased on this game. WVU is my favorite team but I went to school at Marshall. Here is my thinking for the game. I think the line smells like sh*t and it should at least be WVU -21. WVU has struggled with Marshall in the first half the last 2 games but turnovers led to a more lopsided score. WVU should take this game easily but I have seen nothing but people saying WVU is a lock and on a Friday night anything can happen especially when you take this into consideration. Marshall enjoys the best home field advantage in major college football. Marshall has an impressive 118-19 overall record at Joan C. Edwards stadium for a winning percentage of .866. No other Division 1 FBS program can match that. The University of Alabama ranks second with an .825 winning percentage at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Good luck to everyone no matter which side you take, WVU should win and cover but I just have a bad feeling that Marshall hangs in there tonight at home.

**homerbush** · 09-10-10, 10:46 AM

These teams will combine for 31 points. That equals under my friends.
