ECU +18 stands out to me

aman86 · 09-14-10, 11:42 AM

Oh yea pretty big play for me. If v tech cant get up for jmu they prob get killed by ecu ha, I don't have to understand this line I jut have to take it cause 90% chance it hits imo

Better2Belucky · 09-14-10, 12:49 PM

+20 now. May have to jump on it. I am just waiting on a little bit more info.

bigcat1 · 09-14-10, 12:54 PM

PingPong · 09-14-10, 01:04 PM

puf

balls2wall · 09-14-10, 03:31 PM

I'm waiting in hopes of seeing 20 or 21...

good luck

AMcBoarder · 09-14-10, 04:11 PM

20 does seem too good to be true. Wonder if we're missing something. Love ECU + the points.

paste_me · 09-14-10, 04:17 PM

Books are hoping VT will kill ECU. But I don't even think they can win lol

Uncle Harv · 09-14-10, 04:57 PM

Hard not to like...I dont see a lot of fight left in that dog, at least not until ACC play. They got some hurt feelings right now.

louis.ana · 09-14-10, 05:23 PM

it's nice to see ECU on everyone's radar

falconticket · 09-14-10, 05:25 PM

Do they still have Holts?

falconticket · 09-14-10, 05:28 PM

Nevermind I see he went to s.FL. got McNeill now from Texas tech must be doing something right.

No, he is at South Florida

aeshred · 09-14-10, 05:56 PM

ECU is a natural square play, (even if they cover), Tech has lots more talent & here theyre coming off 2 devastating losses, now playing at home, I see it as a blatant trap...

The line starts at 17 squares play big, drops to 15 (in some books), the sharps saw this & threw down some bank, now its all the way back to 18...

something is off here??

falconticket · 09-14-10, 07:21 PM

I don't care if its square play or not. I'm in this to make money not a reputation or a label. All I know is Ecu hit for me twice and Boise hit for me against VA tech. So I'm on Ecu. I would recommend this play. Books are square on this one. But I could be wrong. Am a lot. Gl

jarvol · 09-14-10, 08:00 PM

When you don't have a dynamic vertical offense and VT doesn't it is hard to cover 20 against anybody who is worth even a little damn.

cakasmaloy · 09-14-10, 09:19 PM

Screw it. I know this is a trap but I don't care. I'm in +19.5 with bookmaker.

Mac4Lyfe · 09-14-10, 09:27 PM

It's at 19.5 at BetJam as well. I'd love to get it at 21 but ECU will probably cover easily. I agree, VaTech is vertically challenged and that spells trouble as far as points. I don't think you get motivated all of a sudden after you get beat twice in a row. They blew their motivation last week IMO.

Serbone · 09-14-10, 09:35 PM

I agree, this looks too good. Makes you wonder WTF is going on?
ECU has the "O" and the overall talent to cover.
They like their new coach from TT.
ECU could be losing by 35 and come back and cover.
We know that VT was in let-down mode last week, kids did not get up for the game.
High rankings, even the BCS Championship potential was lost vs. goddam foo-foo Boise, so they were deflated.
So they came in coasting against an inferior foe James Madisonn and got sucker punched.
VT will be more focused this week, maybe even fired up.
VT has great coach, excellent running game, QB can scramble, and "D" should improve as newcombers improve.
But the thing is they are now looking ahead to the ACC season and take that route to get a BCS bowl.
I will probably take ECU + points based on solid handicapping; if you go against it because you think "the books" are up to something, you get yourself in trouble. You cannot think that way, get that "trap" shit out of your head.
ECU + 19.5.

THE PROFIT · 09-14-10, 10:40 PM

Dont fall into this trap guys. VT will fukin roll!!!!!!!!!!!

THE PROFIT · 09-14-10, 10:44 PM

I know this looks good, like a sure fire winner, but the line says it all. I dont feel like typing all this crap 2 & 3 times but I will be doing a a little write up in my thread later tonight. You can click on my link in my sig if you want & read it

TrapperDapper · 09-14-10, 11:01 PM

V tech should win by 30 after that piss poor performance last week.

Joepbj · 09-14-10, 11:09 PM

i have a question: someone said squares jumped all over 17.5 and moved the line down to 15, then the sharps moved it back up to 18. did you ever think the "sharps" jumped at 17.5 and then the squares jumped on tech at -15. For that matter, what designates a "square" bet? Is it majority of the public on one side? I guess I'm square b/c I took ECU +17.5 Sunday night. ECU's defense is awful but I think they keep it relatively close and I see them losing by 13 or 14. But who the heck knows, I just see more value in ECU getting those points, than laying them with Tech. And by the way, I live in VA and love VA Tech. I have a good feeling they do not cover this number.

Cheme82 · 09-14-10, 11:12 PM

I saw that line early and took +17.5, now with over 70% on ECU and the line still climbing I don't feel so good about the play but won't really sweat it until VTech shows me they are worth anything.

Michigan · 09-14-10, 11:16 PM

I really like ECU in this one. ECU always plays tough against good opponents.

Better2Belucky · 09-14-10, 11:30 PM

put $50 @ +19.5 Is it Game Day yet?

Because Squares will play whats obvious and easy w/out doing the actual work it takes to win... Sharpes analyze every aspect, stat, trend, and relevancy that is known to win... Dont kid yourself if V Tech came out motivated they would DESTRUY Ecu!!! Take it to the bank, NO pick is this EASY!!!!

BOL

falconticket · 09-15-10, 01:04 AM

square play is Va tech. Wake up man.

aeshred · 09-15-10, 01:12 AM

Im not on V. Tech, I hope you realize im not against you. I only want you to be careful... Everybody who caps has the ability to see what has already happened this season, what will happen cannot be foretold. The only thing that can be predicted is the certainty that V Tech has way better talent and coaching, playing at home, this could be dangerous for ECU, bc I took a huge ML off of ECU and profited, but I know that they have a major Defensive problem, Va Tech will score 50 points on ECU, Ecu will not score 50...

falconticket · 09-15-10, 01:40 AM

10-4 I hear you. But just because they are "Va Tech" don't mean shit to me. I need money, wins, not props. Right now Va Tech has got very little "Talent" . they might not score 50 points in there next 5 games. I'm on ECU. Enjoy the game. Vtech Sucks. ECU could win outright.

Sunde91 · 09-15-10, 01:48 AM

This game has the most RLM I've seen all year, and it's not like there's 90% on ECU, like 65-68.

Passing here, don't really see a solid on-field angle to take either way.

This could be like a 07 Michigan where they shit the bed first 2 weeks, then come back and roar against rival ND. VT still has 08 upset on it's mind and they really, really need this game for their team psyche.

square play is Va tech. Wake up man.

No.

Haha it sounds like your reasoning is justified? Good luck Falcon...
