beware the teams who didnt play week 1

Really need to look into fading these teams in the 1st quarter/1st half. Expect penalties, plays for loss, timing errors early. Unders may be in play as well.

Whats the angle?

That they haven't played a game yet so they won't be sharp.

We'll see, don't buy it!

Love San Diego State against Army. Riddled with injuries, didn't win 1 road game last year. San Diego State is great defending the triple option. -4 Is one of those lines that you want to look at and pass because it's over the magic number...this is a pound worthy game. Even $ line shouldn't be too juiced.

you telling me to hit sdst bro? hit now or wait?

I'm heading to Vegas, will check out the lines Thur when I get there. Might just hit the $ line. San Diego State's kicker missed an extra point and ended up chasing going for 2 pt conversions and missing them. I just don't think much of Army. Every report I have read has them banged up already. They will run the ball as always but their defense will be bad. They have 5 defensive line starters with 4 games of experience between them. They are undersized and will struggle up front and at linebacker.

why has middle tennesse gone from opening at -2.5 to -8 vs. fla. allantic incredible

Another angle to take away from this could be having the extra week to prepare for an opener and having actual tape to study from week one. Each scenario should be looked into accordingly. Certain teams may have not showed as much week one and some of those teams listed are not talented enough to really benefit from the extra week of gameplanning.

anyone have a list of teams who had week 1 off last year?

not buyin it, many coaches will tell you the biggest improvement in their teams happens after the first game.

Thanks for the list. How do you feel betting totals for teams who didn't play?

seemed like scoring was down overall this weekend, i dont really have anything to back this up though.

thetrinity · 09-04-12, 10:49 AM

this list is bigger then usual because of the 2 games that were delayed, oregon st nicholls st and texas a and m la tech.

But do you not believe it would be benneficial to Muschamp to be able to see how Sumlin and a new QB at Texas A&M would look previous to their matchup? Im sure they will pull some old Houston tapes and prep but it wouldve been nice to have A&M with a game under their belt to see how theyll look. As I said it will be a case by case basis on which angle you choose to pursue, I just dont see every team as instant fade material. However, if it turns out to be a good angle, do whatever you need to do to cash. Best of luck.

chargers4222 · 09-04-12, 03:54 PM

can someone find the teams who didnt play week 1? cant find any way of finding this out unless i print out a list of every team and cross them out when i see their name in week 1 which is a little ridiculous
