Degenerates - Week 4

[UConnMatt813]

Bad bad bad for me last week. Here’s what I like starting tonight:

Houston +5 @ Tulane
FIU/LA Tech OVER 51.5
Michigan/Wisconsin OVER 43
Florida -14 vs Tennessee
Central Michigan +30.5 @ Miami
Washington St -19 vs UCLA

Washington St -18.5 v UCLA
Washington -6.5 @ BYU

In the early games I teased UConn to +28 against IU. If we can't cover that against a backup QB, then forget it.

I also like Syracuse -5 against WMU. WMU is going to seem slow compared to Clemson last week.

Interestingly, the spread for UConn at IU is almost identical to the spread for Elon at Wake. If you accept that Wake is a little bit better than IU, that implies Vegas thinks we're only a little bit worse than Elon. Elon is likely to make the tournament, maybe win a game. By this tortured (lack of) logic, the suggestion is that UConn is good enough to win a game or two in the FCS tournament. That seems like an insult, but is an improvement in the context of line comparisons we saw last year.

UCF-Pittsburgh was a popular bet in Vegas.
"UCF has become a darling of the betting public over the last three weeks. More money was bet on the UCF-Pittsburgh game than was bet on any other game at Las Vegas sportsbook operator CG Technology. The public was all over UCF so the Pitt win was really good for us," CG Technology's Dave Sharapan said. "That was one of our best results of the entire day."
