    Marshall VS USF
    Anyone liking USF here? Marshall has best bowl winning percent but USF is jumping out at me. I'm sure I'll play it and lose like the Nothern Illinois game 2 days ago.

      Line moved earlier to Marshall -4 (now 4.5). Originally liked USF, but now it's: The TE coach is calling the plays, the QB is the emergency QB tonight, and they come in on a terrible losing streak. Very little to make me think they'll win, or even cover. Probably will take Marshall for the heck of it once I'm back in NJ and able to bet.


      So far:

      Georgia Southern -3 (loss, GAS won by 2)
      UAB ML to win (win, 37-10)
      Ohio -2.5 (win, 27-0)

          I'm going with USF. I haven't bet many of the bowls, but not a single dog has one yet. 7 straight. I'm going with gamblers fallacy and starting tonight on the underdog and doubling my bet every day I lose. Sooner or later an underdog will win.

              I can't speak to all of them, but I took Georgia Southern and they won, but didn't cover.

                Line came out at -1... so if you bet it early it did cover...

                  I'm not going to argue. Figured closing lines were the number, but whatever. My bet didn't cover.

                      Looking like it might slow down however. So bad they closed the high bridge

                        Either can be said. Obviously it sounds like a game fav didn’t cover the closing but guys who got in early did. No reason to argue it happens, that why getting best number matters and why I will often pass on a game if I missed that number.

                          Ppl that know these teams better than me have said those conditions probably favor Marshall. I don’t have the slightest, Havnt watched either team once! Lol., the best case I’ve heard for USF is that playing Marshall will be class relief from teams they been losing to during their awful last month or so of season (believe I heard they on 5 game losing streak?).,

                              Took Marshall due to USF losing streak, QB issues and coaching chaos.

                                USF in a bowl is ridiculous. They will get plowed.

                                    Home game for USF but stands probably empty.

                                      Line movement came after USF QB was downgraded to Doubtful.

                                                Both teams have crappy defenses and have allowed a ton of points this year so I'd be careful. Not sure if that translates into points in this case though since it seems both teams pretty much suck. This is purely an entertainment bet for me just to have a side to pull for.

                                                  Marshall is 23rd out of 130 teams in the FBS defensively FYI. 22 points per game allowed is not a lot in college football.

                                                      On paper Marshall is the bet.
                                                      No underdogs have won straight up yet, is what I meant. However, all the favorites have covered except Georgia Southern. But, they did win.
                                                      Considering all the games lines were 1 score difference, that's pretty unlikely to have that many favorites win in a row. None the less, each game is independent of the other.
                                                      However, I don't care, I'm not going to live thru a time when 100 favorites win in a row, so, I'm going to start betting the dogs. I'm perfectly happy with an L today and a W when the dog ML is 400+ :P
                                                      Still, taking USF here and riding dogs til they win!

                                                          that McCants that threw the TD pass has an interesting skill set

                                                          WR that is 5'11 240 looking like a fullback

                                                          throws a TD pass just now

                                                              God is he bad? Couldn't lead a whore to bed!

                                                              They pass the ball down to the 4 with :21 left and have a timeout left so what do they do? They let the clock run while the QB runs up and downs the ball....leaving them with 2 passes instead of 3. Strong then wastes the timeout before the fg? Idiot?
