Machine Report: Wake Forest at Syracuse

[superman613]

My money is on Cuse also...GL this year machine!!

[Chong Wizard]

I noticed the line on this game is now -6 with a little over 60% of the public on Cuse. Is this reverse line movement anything to worry about?

The new injury report just came out today. I'm going over it right now.

[Machine Choice]

Wake injuries listed as questionable:

Kyle Wilbur (hamstring) -- Wake's second leading returning tackler
Kenny Okoro (calf) -- starting cornerback
Chris Givens (hamstring) -- leading wide receiver

Syracuse injuries listed as questionable:

Keon Lyn (shoulder) -- backup cornerback
Ian Allport (concussion) -- backup center
Phillip Thomas (jaw) -- Syracuse's leading returning tackler; Safety
Nick Lepak (concussion) -- backup right guard

According to this article Phillip Thomas is playing:

. This resulted in ticket sales going way up for the Thurs night opener in the Carrier Dome. Expect pandemonium under the lights after a day of tailgating and ESPN cameras rolling into town.

They gonna have 30k in the stands?

I also noticed this. On one book I saw that as much as 82% of the action was on Cuse spread. The reverse line movement is a little worrisome IMO. Any thoughts on this at all?

[dysonstrokes]

sharps opted for dog at 7 late money will come in on cuse

[cleonhr]

Syracuse -6 It Is! Following u Machine....

Closer to 50K if you go by 2009 opening stats against an AQ school.

GO CUSE good friend is a team manager and says the team is pumped and amped....watch for some impact players coming out of no where. CUSE ROLLS BOYS

What team is not "pumped and amped" on opening day?

[khaden]

Here we go boys it finally here-Lets go orange

[Chong Wizard]

So the RLM doesn't worry you but does Brock Landers being on Syracuse worry you?

I don't like hedging my bets but seriously considering it tonight.

[PHLAK]

Just locked in at -6.5 Machine!! Good luck to all!

[MartinBlank]

Umm....did you even bother to read your rebuttal link? (which I didn't post, by the way). It specifically says that Lyn is listed #2 on depth chart behind Rishard. So the article contradicts itself.

Either way, whether Rishard starts or Lyn is ready to go, it won't matter because Wake does not have a passing game.

Wake has over 200 yards passing in the first half alone, including 2 tds.

[BeatTheJerk]

Yeah I tailed this. (fml)

[TxAaron]

Yeah I tailed this. (fml)

I was skeptical so I put 'Cuse in my 3 team teaser. I got Cuse +3.5....I'm screwed.

[MartinBlank]

I don't want to bust on Machine. My post seemed dickie.

I hope he cashes this, we all need to beat the books.

[chrisharvard01]

Machine, I miss the old days when you stuck to your gimmick. No one doubted the Machine.

[Duby]

Never in doubt! Lol

Nice start to the year!

[chiliv5]

great way to wake up and see a winner..... dont care how it happened! nice work machine

[khaden]

Holy crap- went to bed thinking we lost wake to find $$$$ in the account

[Kufta4]

Cuse had no business winning this game. The worst was when they had 4 yards of total offense in the 2nd quarter and had a 4th and 1 at mid field and decided to punt. I almost punched my TV. Granted they pinned Wake inside the 5 and held them to 3 and out which eventually led to a TD but I think punting there was the wrong call. You have 4 yards of offense, and you are only in the positive because you made it 4th and 1 (which means you gained 9 yards) and you need a spark. A 4th down conversion would have given that to them.

I took Cuse but we sucked out and shouldn't have.

[MartinBlank]

It is better to be lucky than good.

And a win is a win is a win. It doesn't matter how you win it. If you cash it---it doesn't matter what the hell happened.

But man, if you had Syracuse in that one, you better fellate the gambling gods this morning.

Syracuse needed Wake to miss an EP----2 FGs, and then they had to score and convert a 2 point conversion. Then----Syracuse had a chippie FG blocked on a guy who made 16 consecutive---then, you had to win the coin toss in OT---to allow Syracuse the ball first. If Wake gets it first and Syracuse scores----no extra point attempt.

That is some charmed shit right there.
