Central Fla vs. Marshall

rfr3sh · 10-12-10, 01:52 PM

bump line is +5 now

ronjon619 · 10-12-10, 01:54 PM

C. Florida will cover that line. Marshall is nothing this year. UCF can play defense and the Marshall offense will struggle all night long.

CorkyThatcher · 10-12-10, 02:00 PM

Marshall won't score on the UCF defense. They are stiff. I'm getting a woody just thinking about it.

rfr3sh · 10-12-10, 02:09 PM

Marshall seems to be decent at home
last time they played it was 21-20 UCF fwiw

CorkyThatcher · 10-12-10, 02:13 PM

Marshall is not very good this year. UCF has proven itself. Take the away favorite, bro.

Brock Landers · 10-12-10, 02:22 PM

UCF should bury Marshall. This isn't West Virginia, so they won't be pumped up to play like they were in that game

GiveMeaBJ · 10-12-10, 02:22 PM

Marshall +5.5 is where my money is.

I'm not suggesting one way or the other. Initially I wanted to get a big hunk of Central Florida but the line just doesn't make sense. It probably should have opened closer to 10 and watching it the past couple of days it's only gone down while the percentages have gone up.

I thought it might be a look ahead spot for the Knights but they have Rice next week so that didn't pan out either. On the surface I agree with everyone here but unfortunately so 67% of the others out there and yet the line has gone down.

rfr3sh · 10-12-10, 04:12 PM

wal I got some marshall +6 but beating the closer hasn't been doing shit for me lately go figure

rfr3sh · 10-12-10, 04:14 PM

guys who think marshal will get killed do you pound -5 or Do you think the line drops nd get a. better number..does the line dropping scare you

8550937 · 10-12-10, 04:14 PM

tough game i would stay away from it but if you like to bet i like marshall+5 at home

CJAretired · 10-12-10, 04:32 PM

rare ez win. UCF SHOULD, SHOULD be 5-0.................they got so unlucky vs k-state and held NCSU to like 250 total yards......they are a top 20 team and will win this game 27-13

BadNina · 10-12-10, 04:41 PM

I was leaning Central Florida. ANd now that I see Brock likes them I feel sick to my stomach.

Mr Windy City · 10-12-10, 04:42 PM

this line stinks like fish guts and diarrhea. Marshall is ******* Terrible and they throw this shit at us?

Mr Windy City · 10-12-10, 04:43 PM

HATE to say it, but I think the Thundering Herd is the play here.

Marshall is the play!

hoop guru · 10-12-10, 05:21 PM

Marshall is tough at home. I really like marshall +3 1st half.

jwbama23 · 10-12-10, 05:25 PM

The line is saying Marshall. I dont know the stats but look at the last 10 or so 4.5-6 point home dogs where the favorite looked like the easy play. Go back to Uconn against Rutgers. What about Utah State vs BYU. I know this cant be the main criteria in placing a bet on the dog but those 5 point home dogs have been killing it this year.

Mr Windy City · 10-12-10, 05:27 PM

Because UCF is superior to this team on paper. Marshall has doing NOTHING this year besides the W. Virginia game, yet it opens at 6.5 with roughly 80% of the action on them and it goes to 5.5

I'm not falling for it. Marshall is the play.

SHADYLANKY · 10-12-10, 05:28 PM

I jumped on UCF today -5.

BOL to those who take Marshall

jwbama23 · 10-12-10, 05:42 PM

there ya go. And the favorites if im not mistaken were pounded in each of those games. I get sick knowing money is going behind Marshall but it is the play and probably ML too

you dont have the Utah State game against BYU. Line was similar but fluctuated all week. Same category. Nationally televised only game on tv. BYU should kill them and Utah State destroyed them

jadenandashton · 10-12-10, 05:47 PM

I see everyone saying that Marshall is the play but before you bet them take a look at the stats

Marshall
rush offense 105th 101 yards per game
pass

jadenandashton · 10-12-10, 05:53 PM

sorry hit the wrong button

Marshall
rush offense 105th at 101 yards per game
pass offense 77th at 199 yards per game
total offense 106th at 300 yards per game
Central Florida
rush defense 32nd at 117 yards per game
pass defense 5th at 148 yards per game
total defense 9th at 265 yards per game

this spells out for a very long night for Marshall. I would be surprised with these numbers to see them put over 14 points on the board. I would take a hard look at the under unless you think that UCF is going to put up 35 or more points. Defense wins games and for me this just solidifies my pick taking UCF only giving 5.5 right now.

spongerat · 10-12-10, 05:56 PM

yes this game is just like uconn rutgers, makes no sense and i'm on UCF but not happy about it

Mac4Lyfe · 10-12-10, 06:03 PM

The stats clearly say UCF but why is the line dropping?

I really wanted to hammer UCF but that's a bad play based on line movement. Vegas knows more then we do.

jadenandashton · 10-12-10, 06:09 PM

I agree with that but one hundred percent but remember that Vegas moves the lines based on Money not percentages of bets. Just because there are a couple of rich guys that can influence the line does not mean that they are right. I might be wrong on this pick, you never know but I like those stats pending turnovers and special teams I like what I see on the central florida side.

CorkyThatcher · 10-12-10, 06:25 PM

people are thinking too much. marshall stinks corky balls.

pdx107 · 10-12-10, 06:27 PM

I dig UCF...

Why are they only giving 5.5 then? You think the books can't look those stats up or something. This line should be at least 9 or 10.
