ECU +750 ML and +19.5! WOW

[Baxter Man13]

For a team that is 2-0 playing a 0-2 team.

Makes you want to jump all over both the money line and point spread.

I watched ECU's past two games, and they have it together. They know how to run and pass that football and get points when it matter. +19.5 is almost a steal if you ask me.

thoughts...

[Baxter Man13]

The lines opened at +17

Now +19.5

As soon as this line drops (if it does) I am ALL over it. If it raises, I will sit back and wait to get the best possible line.

This game is almost a steal

[Baxter Man13]

worries me that everyone sees it this way,...ECU can score for sure but there D is not good at all, when it opened at 17 i wrote them down instantly and it still going up with plenty more pl on ECU (not sure what to think bout that, scary) i do think you will finally see the real VT this week, in the boise game if they didnt have the mistakes early they probably win that game...i pretty much am just discounting the james madison disaster as they had a short week off a emotional loss and clearly there hearts were not in it.....gotta give Beamer the benafit of the doubt as he is one of the better coaches and i think he will get this team back on track..........VT will win, but hard not to like all those points.....

In ECU's first game I saw a team that just kept fighting back play after play and eventually won.
In ECU's second game I saw a team that was up 20+ and the defense started to lack, because of the huge point lead (I had the -13 I was bugging when they kept letting TD's lol)

I strongly believe ECU will keep this game close, maybe by a TD for most of the game, looking for that last final play to get the TD to tie it. We should see the same ECU team we saw in game one.

[Baxter Man13]

It is too hard to take a 0-2 team at -19.5

No way in hell can I do that against this ECU team, that has very solid offense with over 350 passing yards in two games

[ACCBlitz]

[] <- what shape is that

[Baxter Man13]

Something is just not right here.

-13 against a horrific team last week

now 2-0

and now +19.5 against a 0-2 team thats been playing like crap.

Im sticking with my gut, as soon as I see this line start to drop Im all over it, and if it continues to raise, then let it raise as high as possible

Haha all in good fun Bax. GL on it. I'm staying away all together.

[LT Profits]

You are overlooking the fact that Virginia Tech would have been at least -24 two weeks ago based on preseason power ratings, so this line actually HAS been deflated to reflect the early season play of the reams.

Yes I know....ECU played great last two games and as where VT has not....+19.5 is not right..are you saying it is?

I think it should be -3 ECU if anything.

The OVER looks even better as well (58)

[angtank]

VTech wins by at least 10 in this spot.

[Ralphie Halves]

There's enough of a chance that VT is still stuck in neutral to play the ML in my opinion. You can't just automatically rule it out and assume they'll play to their potential all of a sudden. Great coaching makes me think they will, but there's too good of a chance they won't to pass up on that value.

ECU has two very good CBs and a bunch of young players on D with good speed that don't always know where they're going. Their D is every bit as good as James Madison's at the very least, that's for certain. They give up lots of big plays, but VT has yet to show they can make any, even with two stud RBs and a habitually overrated Tyrod Taylor.

Do I think they'll figure it out this week? Yes. Is it nothing but a blind assumption no matter who you are? Yep. There's some value on that there money line.

Thank you for speaking for me, and using common sense.

[Better2Belucky]

VT has a very strong ground game and decent D. Other than that they aren't much. ECU clears my +19.5 and my earlier teaser of +25.5 GL Yall

[spongerat]

i liked ecu +19.5 until I see that everyones on it which makes me think twice. The bookmakers saw the previous games of VT and they aren't exactly in the business of giving away money. Plus I have the feeling that after losing to JMU they really get it together this week and start on the right track if they want any shot at having a decent season

[HedBustah1]

Vtech or no play

[agharah1]

The line probably prices in the fact that Tech was playing its 2nd game in FIVE days when they lost to JMU (hence why Boise scheduled a bye for last weekend). JMU and Villanova are right up there with App St from 2007 when they beat Michigan. Michigan still managed to go 9-4 that year (with a win over Tebow in the Capital One Bowl).

That being said, they might have gone 9-4 but the week after App St. Michigan got torched by Dennis Dixon and Oregon at home. So yeah, VT might not be fully recovered from that loss. Or they're just not that good. Either way, my signature principle keeps me away from this one.

[JR007]

Ole Miss looked like the play last week after losing to a 1-AA team...they did not cover laying around 20....gotta think over

[thespeculator]

i have looking at this line for a while, and it looks very tempting , but my wagering history has always been horrible whenever i have thought the book was waaaay off, not sure about the moneyline , but i am really tempted with the 19 points

[CharlestonCock]

I think Vegas see's this as a spot where VT has to win no matter what and if moral hasn't been totally crushed on that team and the players are still buying what Beamer is selling then VT should win this game or its going to get really ugly in Blacksburg QUICK. I would really like to know what spirits the players are in following this week of practice. With that said, ECU has played VT the past three years going 1-2:

2009/11/05 East Carolina 3 - Virginia Tech 16 L
2008/08/30 East Carolina 27 - Virginia Tech 22 W
2007/09/01 East Carolina 7 - Virginia Tech 17 L

* Stats from mcubed.net

I know thats in the past but ECU hasn't been blown out by any means in these games so with the play I have seen out of both teams so far this year makes me think that ECU getting 19 points has some value. However it really just depends on those VT players. Beamer sure as hell could have them hyped up, could have spent all week getting back to what they do best and thats BEAMER BALL. In conclusion I think ECU ML may not be such a great bet but ECU should be able to keep it close to cover the spread.

[JMUplayer]

You do realize that Memphis and Tulsa are two of the most horrible programs especially on the defensive side of the ball. (ECU's first two opponents)

[MartinBlank]

I would forget that 0-2 versus 2-0 tagline.

ECU would also be 0-2 if they played Boise and JMU.

19.5 sure does seem like a ton of points, but ECU has beaten who exactly?

Memphis is among the 5 worst teams in 1-A football and ECU played them at home. They also played Tulsa at home----and got lucky----very lucky--scoring on a hail mary to win that game. Tulsa isn't exactly Boise material.

I wouldn't play this game, but if I did---I would lean VT. ECU hasn't played a road game yet, and sooner or later VT is going to get its shit together and god help the team that plays them that week.

[MartinBlank]

Ole Miss looked like the play last week after losing to a 1-AA team...they did not cover laying around 20....gotta think over

and Kansas lost to a 1-AA team in its first week, and then beat top-15 Georgia Tech.

Same situation----completely different results.

[Baxter Man13]

+20 now

[kontradictor]

+20 now

I just doubled down

Cant tell if your serious or not but...Im waiting to get the highest possible line

Here's what Dr. Bob, RAS and Justin7 had to say about this one:

[curious]

The play here is $1000 on the ML and $2000 on the spread. That is the way I bet it anyway.

[NYsportsfreak]

watch out for RLM!

[phatgentleman]

wheres my ECU friend at..surprised he hasn't posted on here yet...I like the ML but I'm sure ECU will cover the points because our offense is too good..its the Defense that needs to step up. VT has no big threat receivers. I expect VT to get a ton of rushing yards...

[M.W.]

Great video - thanks for posting that.

[THE PROFIT]

you obviously forget that this 0-2 team is Virginia fukin Tech & the 2-0 team is East Carofukinlina. 2-0 getting 20 from 0-2 sounds good if you change the names to protect the innocent!
