These are a lot more effective in the NFL for whatever reason, but games where one team doesn't come close to covering the number, and then plays a team that was very impressive the week before, are always a nice bargain, as the line is generally off by a few extra points.
Friday - Southern Miss (beat UCF by 21) @ UAB (lost to Marshall)
Saturday - Ohio St. (misleading 11 point win over Mich. St.) @ Indiana (Actually played Iowa relatively tough, losing by 17) Syracuse (blown out at home by Rutgers) @ Pitt (14-point win over So. Florida)
Virginia (upset Florida St.) @ North Carolina (coming off a bye, week before lost 69-14 to Louisville) Oklahoma St. (blown out last two weeks) @ Iowa St. (blew late 10-point lead, but still covered at Missouri)
Texas A&M (up-and-down Aggies stomped Ok. St.) @ Kansas St. (lost by 39 to Texas Tech) North Carolina St. (lost by 21 to Clemson at home) @ Wake Forest (only lost by 5 at BC, and should have won) Purdue (lost by 17 and 5 last two weeks as home fav) @ Wisconsin (coming off emotional rivalry win vs. Minnesota)
Rutgers (blew out Syracuse) @ Connecticut (lost SU as 7.5 point favorite) Louisville (upset loss) @ Cincy (upset win)
West Virginia (upset Louisville) @ South Florida (lost by 14 to Pitt)
Auburn (playing fabulously - 17 pt win @ Ark latest victory) @ LSU (nearly lost to Florida, always beats AUB at home)
As I said, these do better in the NFL, but are still pretty solid in college. I'm not suggesting that you play all these - I normally cap the games as I would anyway, with a little extra look to these types of games, realizing the added value I will probably get. By the way, here are today's NFL plays in this system. I normally play at least one unit on all games, unless I handicap the other side.
Bengals -3 Even @ Titans
Ravens -6 vs. Browns
San Diego -1 @ Oakland
Texans +9.5 @ Seahawks
Rams +14 @ Colts
Good observation on the college front Razz....I think along those lines as well.
Tough break on the Michigan game. Just more reason to hate Michigan. I would have prefered he just droped it if i knew they weren't going to kick the extra point.
It never made much sense to me. It's a 2 point game...a blocked Extra point and PSU returns it is tied. Give me a break why they don't make them kick it...in the NFL they do.
That's fine, Michigan is gonna get their ass pounded this week. I'll probably be betting and certainly rooting against them at an Iowa team that has covered 17 of 18 at home.
NFL setup games went 3-1 today. Good enough for me to make a small play on the Rams tomorrow.
Next week's NFL setup games:
Packers (off bye week and 49-point win) @ Vikings (team in turmoil and off 25-point loss to Bears)
Colts (if they win tomorrow) @ Texans (can't do shit on offense or defense) Steelers (off home loss to Jags) @ Bengals (playing very well, and off 8-point win at Titans)
Chiefs (off home win) @ Dolphins (off road loss, 2-0 at home this season)
Bills (off consecutive home wins) @ Raiders (off 13-point home loss)
