    Maybe books are banking on letdown after Va Tech win? Still seems like an over-adjustment though.

    Not a flame, just a comment for discussion...

    I believe that stat needs some context. You're right that BC's D YPP is quite good at 4.4. However, the offenses they have faced are averaging just 5.1 YPP. The teams averaging 5.1 YPP on offense are tied for 105th in the nation in that stat. So while on the one hand, it is quite good that BC is holding teams below their season average in YPP, the absolute number and ranking are a tad misleading.

    Interestingly, BC is dead last in defensive YPPT.

    nope, Syracuse is just hot garbage that got a lucky win against a team with their head in the sky after getting ranked (VT). Cuse is easily the worst team in the ACC outside of Wake Forest (by just a touch)

    On the exact opposite. Syracuse coming off a high with 25mph winds in Boston and off a Bye week. No way. Syracuse gets taken to the wood shed here. Temple should be close also vs. USF IMO. Home game and Temple should be on the run game. USF not that great of a run D. I see a TD or less for sure.

    With all of that being said, model only has Boston College -2.75. Simply cannot give 4.5 with BC offense.

    What is your point? I have ALWAYS done NFL and CFB threads weekly since the inception of SBR. The only rime I do continuous threads in any sport is for Playoffs/Bowls. I simply cannot stand 40-page threads.

    CFB Additions Friday & Saturday

    FRIDAY, 10/21
    South Florida -6.5 -110 (Heritage)
    Oregon / California OVER 89 -105 (Heritage)

    SATURDAY, 10/22
    Syracuse +4.5 -105 (Heritage)
    Colorado +2 -110 (Heritage)


    YTD: 35-35-1, -1.32


    I would have played Colorado ML at bare minimum of +106, but I saw no better than +105 so opted for the +2 at Heritage with everyone else at +1.5.

    Also, Oregon/Cal game broke my model. Translatiion: model predicts over 100 points (100.78 to be exact).

    I have a lot of agreement with LT this week, including a 101.1 total for the Oregon/Cal game. Hope that's not a bad thing for you.

    Good luck
