All im saying is if you've followed college football you know alot of teams are overrated this year..we'll see what miami does vs unc's passing attack

TexasJayhawk · 10-16-13, 02:31 AM

Speaking of overrated...Does anyone think Louisville (-13) v. UCF is a bit of a stretch? I mean Louisville has played virtually nobody this year (Strength of Schedule...#127 according to Football Outsiders) and I'd argue UCF will be their toughest competition as of now.
Sure S. Carolina wasn't 100% and Penn State isn't all that this year, but they're a hell of lot more competitive than any team Louisville has played this year.
When Ville faced a mediocre team (Rutgers) they couldn't cover the 19 points and they BARELY covered the 13 points v. Kentucky...

yesss^^^^

Purdue is bad, but MichSt isn't 26 pts better than anyone right now IMO. Purdue has been surprising in spots.

Not sold on Syracuse, even though they did play their asses off last week. GT -7 at home is a play for me.

South Carolina could easily blow out Tennessee. Tennessee has no chance of blowing out SC. Yet the line is only one TD.

Miami Ohio is left for dead, but who has the balls to lay over a TD with Akron on the road???

North Texas has been good to me this year, but I'm passing this week.

UNLV has the offense to keep pace with Fresno State, and has done really well at making 2nd half adjustments defensively as of late. Remember, the only reason Hawai'i scored at all in the 2nd half last game is because Hauck was a retard and sat his starters. He won't do that again. I liked the line at +21, I love it at +24.5 now.

I am all over this game!!! This game may be in the high 40's/50's at the half!

I have my "max" early spread bet in on over 66. I will also be looking to add how much I have not yet decided. I can assure you this will be my biggest play of the week.

Wash 51 - Zona st 47 in overtime

Curious how the score could ever be 51-47 in an overtime game...........................

thetrinity · 10-16-13, 09:26 AM

oregon is a squares wet dream (blowing teams out with video game scores every week) and ga st is a sharps wet dream (awful record but quietly playing better every game and covering)

Big Bear · 10-16-13, 09:35 AM

What do you guys think of

Stanford -6 over UCLA
and

Ohio state -17 over Iowa

Stanford should be out for blood here after 2 horribly
played games.

Ohio State is going to do their very best to run up the
score as much as possible in every game from here on out.

Fred The Hammer · 10-16-13, 09:38 AM

Purdue is bad, but MichSt isn't 26 pts better than anyone right now IMO. Purdue has been surprising in spots.

Yeah they are......Sparty's D is much better than Nebraska's and Purdue was less than a minute from being shutout. Purdue had Rob Henry at QB earlier....and he has alot of experience and could atleast run. Problem is...he screwed up so bad vs N. Illinois that they went with a true fresh QB (severe growing pains) and they lost one of their top receivers on top of that.

Michigan State 41-10 just because Sparty goes soft 2nd half. I don't like laying that many pts to anyone but there's a good chance MS goes Over 42.5 themselves.

Duke +3 vs UVA
Oregon St -10 vs Cal
Notre Dame -3 vs USC
Wyoming -7 vs Colo St
Florida -3 vs Mizzou

Wyoming stood stood out to me too, but why is it only -7?

I still would love to know this BYU/Houston total is 63...

747planes · 10-16-13, 10:37 AM

West Virginia and the points and moneyline is the best bet on the board. Sucks for people who missed out on +8 to +7 numbers but it is still the best play.

Both teams can move the ball and get first downs, it will come down to clock management. Maybe the books think (know) that Houston will go with hurry up offense.

At first I assumed it was first team scores a FG, second scores a TD - but I don't think they'd have to kick a FG for the 4 point win at that point.

I tried really hard to find a lean to go devils advocate on you with. Couldnt find a convincing one. One little tidbit is this- Teams that put up over 225 passing yards on houston double the avg. scoring on them of teams that dont. That still doesnt mean take the over... The most points BYU has allowed per game are 21, the most theyve scored is 40. This is strange, indeed.

Posts like this just shows why we can find some value in under the radar type games.

Both give up under 20 a game and Houston is not the "Houston" the public thinks they are lighting up the scoreboard. Also BYU defense is very good as you know.

I went 3x on this play at 63 (second 3x play, North Texas last week was first)

I saw line went to 62/62.5 afterwards

Rangers901 · 10-16-13, 02:07 PM

Auburn ML +390 is the best bet on the board this week.

Auburn +13 is my last game as of now I'm strongly considering.

I don't think they have enough firepower to win, but who needs firepower against that A&M Defense

Louisvillekid1 · 10-16-13, 02:46 PM

Ok,

This is what I'm rolling with this week (Still looking at a few games but this is most likely it)

ULL +147 1x W
Northwestern -12.5 (not sure if 1x or 2x depending on injuries)
Indiana/Michigan O 67 1x
BYU/Houston u 63 3x
Washington/Arizona St O 65.5 2x
Auburn +12.5 1x

I haven't locked in NW yet because I need to see the Injury report later in week, just hope line doesnt go to 14.

Will post some info later in week on why.

26-12 + 23.44 units on year after La LA W

http://forum.sbrforum.com/college-fo...7-card-p2.html

Fukk it I'm adding Auburn +12.5 1x

Florida and Mizzouri should be very low scoring as well

didnt mizzou hang 40 on georgia?

and that was on the road.

i dont fukk with totals but i may hammer mizzou here

Louisvillekid1 · 10-16-13, 03:52 PM

Guey franklin is out and they are playing Florida

have you watched UF play defense?

have you watched UGA play defense?

Big Bear · 10-16-13, 03:56 PM

i will tail your BYU / HOUston under and UW/ ASU over

thetrinity · 10-16-13, 03:58 PM

kid brings up a good point bout houston byu, houston is probably still seen as a run and gun type team by the public, byu maybe even so as well.

id think that byu will try and control the ball on offense, which plays into the under even more, also would think houston would have a hard time scoring tds in the redzone.

Look at post #1 in this thread about the Houston BYU game

63

I don't get it, What do we get on alt line u 42.5? haha

If they get over 63 I'll happily hand my 3 units over, proceed to bend over and ask for another

Big rivalry game. Wyoming has slipped a bit as of late.

JabooFootball · 10-16-13, 04:15 PM

The more I look at UM/UNC the more I think UNC is in full blown defensive meltdown and UM will be good for 500 total yards of offense. Georgia Tech- 370 Rush 107 Pass, Eastern Carolina- 227 Rush 376 Pass, Virginia Tech 48 Rush, 293 Pass. Thats what UNC has allowed the last 3 weeks. I hate jumping on a more than TD fav on the road on Thur but this might be the time to do it.

Very possible, I just can't lay those points on the road in conference on thursday night

thetrinity · 10-16-13, 04:36 PM

unc has been a massive underachiever this season, i thought they were an acc sleeper and they have been asleep all year.

the u has probably played over their heads so far, hard to back the heels though in this one.

the carolina defense has been pretty bad this season but 4 or their 5 games have went under, interesting.

manny24 · 10-16-13, 05:07 PM

nice thread lkid1er good info in here!

a little confusing not remembering which ghosts were yours but still

pound the book this weekend guey!
