Week 8 Bettor

Love Temple +3 tonight @ ECU

Totally opposite you. I'd sooner light myself on fire than bet a Thursday night road team.

A lot of people would pay to see that.

Utah +3.5 @ USC. Please explain why I don't understand this line before I put more money than my normal wager on it.

I've got a family. I'm sure there is a number we can make it happen.

This requires a bet on USC. When a line looks really crazy--take the side that causes you to shake your head. USC has better athletes and are playing for redemption at home. Utah is pinching itself, wondering when it's going to awaken from their dream. This will be their wake up call.

Love Temple +3 tonight @ ECU

I have to admit, I actually enjoy the AAC games during the week. If it weren't for the low pay, this conference would be pretty decent all things considered.

Ironic that the married guys are so quick to fall on the sword.

I played the UCLA O68 last night and the ECU O49 tonight.

Don't know what to make of the Temple/ECU game. If I had to pick one, I'd probably roll with the home team but I'm not playing it.

Plays I have my eye on:

sPitt/Fruit U49
Clemson -7 @ Da U (will buy a 1/2 pt)
BC/LCC U37
Toledo -14 @ UMass
Terps/PSU U47
Mizzou -2.5 @ Vandy
FSU -7 @ GT
OSU/RU O63
Duke +3 @ VT
@ Arkansas -6 Auburn


Sheesh, a lot of road teams. This week might be a better week to play the totals.

Add in Temple has their game of the year next week with ND coming to Philly. Awful spot to be betting Temple.

I was just looking at not having to work anymore.

Ah yes....of course.

 

[Drew]

Well they didn't play well but they still covered. Glad I took Temple here, they were clearly the better team tonight and eventually it showed.

Will take others this weekend but have Houston -22 at UCF and Nebraska -7.5 vs Northwestern locked in so far

 

[whaler11]

Good call Drew. Ugly game.

 

[SAMCRO]

UNI -27.5 over EMU
Over 55 Clemson/Miami
Over 56 Boise/Wyoming

 

[Nostical]

Clemson will be the National Champion. Some say they are underrated. No way. And if Fournette stumbles, DeShaun Watson wins the Heisman. They will pour it on vs Miami. Take Clemson.

Clemson is 1-3 ATS in conference and 0-1 ATS on the road

I wouldnt touch this game. Despite USC record all the numbers and power ratings rank USC higher than Utah. This is a game USC will look at as a statement game now that they are out from under Shark. It has been a disappointing season thus far based on expectation sand they have all the talent to beat any team in the country.

This is one of those games that people jump all over Utah and vegas usually ends up with a smile on their face when the game is over.

Almost 70% of bets are on Utah and yet the line hasnt dropped yet. in fact it has risen from opening at -3 and going to -3.5 now.

Took Memphis -9.5 tonight

IMO that was a great spot for Temple depsite everyone saying it was a bad spot. I was on Temple last night but not as big as I usually go because I was being cautious.

Temple had to win that game to make the ND game the biggest game in program history. If they lose last night the ND game becomes nothing as they are no longer playing to be a part of the BCS bowls. Cant wait to see what the line is for the ND game.

On Memphis -10 tonight also. Hate having so many road favorites on my card.

Looking good so far.

 

[Dooley]

I played the over tonight and am sitting here smiling watching this two hand touch game.

 

[Dooley]

I think my favorites tomorrow are Toledo, Duke and a whole slew of low-scoring snooze fests (Fruit, BC, Terps).
