yesterday went well and i appreciate everyone who stopped by and contributed to the thread. long as they going like that i will keep doing them when i can, off work all week so here we go..
1 now then will get back at it when they post more lines in morning..
tcu+6.5.. kinda surprised this shot up a couple points from the open, almost has me wanting to wait to see if it hits 7 but im content right here. im a fan of hurley and really liked the direction RI was headed coming into the season, however the loss of ec mathews is tough for a offensively challenged team like RI.
tcu is gonna beat rams up inside with their size and depth. both teams play solid d and force a lot of turnovers, both teams turn it over too much but RI is on another level turning it over slightly more than a qrtr of their possessions. rams also terrible ft shooters and missing those as bad as a turnover imo. that in of itself is reason enough to consider tcu at this number as you cant trust RI to put a cover away even if they outplay tcu cause they simply bad at the ft line, like shaq bad! hitting only 51% of their freebies as a team.
bottom line their just not this much separation between these 2 imo and at a neutral site we getting 3 possessions and the team i feel will win on the glass, at the line, and in the turnover department. frogs getting spotted points in a game i believe they will undoubtedly have more possessions , that a lot to ask of a RI team that just isnt strong offensively. should be a defensive game and another game i wouldnt be surprised at all if the dog wins straight up..
look forward to hearing from everyone once lines come out on the other games
