Early look at Week 2...thoughts?

[Underdog88]

Like that parlay MParris... hope it cashes for you :thumbs:



Been back and forth on whether or not to play ECU today. The only thing keeping me from playing them is the situational angle, having won su as a dog last week. Still they are a solid team getting no respect here.....



FF- looking at that total in the TTech/Nevada game, & I think I'm going to narrow it down to TTech team o39.5 to take Nevada out of the equation. TTech scored 42+ pts in the first 6 games of last season! Nevada last season allowed 52 to Nebraska, 36 to NW, 47 to Fresno, 69 to Boise st. Even NMex st hung 38 on them. IMO what appears to be a pretty high number for 1 team to cover presents value to me. What would worry me about the game over is a 45-21 type ending

I know this is a game nobody probablypaid much attention to, but does anyone have an opinion on RICE +3 1/2....for some reason i think RICE is a live dog in this one. MEM didn't impress me at all last week and quite frankly stinks. Should be a close game and a FG+ seems like a nice value.

curious if anyone else has looked at this game

I've been looking at this game all week and decided to play a 2 team ML parlay with Rice +140 and Duke +230. Put down 1 unit for 7 unit payout.

Those two teams are live dogs IMO, the best on the board this week.

Strong lean to Rice ML for me FF. I don't think the points even matter there. Revenge after last year's home loss to Memphis. :thumbs:


After further review, I'm off Nevada. TTEch has too much firepower IMO, could easily be a 2 td win. Still leaning over though it's moved 1.5 points to 68.5.

right or wrong i have UNR as one of my biggest plays today OVER......i usually don't play those inflated totals but i think this one does go over as i just jinxed it by saying so....lol

yeah, i think i may jump on RICE ML when i get back later today....:thumbs:

ok even at -9, I'm making the assumption that this TT team is somewhat comparable to last years Hawaii team, atleast in terms of style of play. Nevada preseason pick 3rd in the WAC this year, and TT didn't do anything last week to suggest their defense will be any different than it has in past years. Over has moved a few points up already

[Underdog88]

I think the spread against Hawaii at home last year was around 3 or 4, and that game was tight for most of the way.

Line was -9 in that game. I remember because I hit the 2ndh Nevada ml.

[NittanyLions94]

well I was all about Nevada until I read that entering the season they have no cornerbacks with any Division I experience whatsoever. I guess TT will get their points regardless however, and 10.5 is alot to hang on Nevada at home at night. I think the spread against Hawaii at home last year was around 3 or 4, and that game was tight for most of the way. It all depends on how I do during the day Saturday, but I'd lean to taking the points and taking the over

That Nevada QB was pretty impressive last year as a Frosh, so I would expect him to only get better this year. Almost looked like a poor man's Vince Young from his days at Texas. I'd imagine that game will be a shootout in all likelihood.

I think they can win this game SU and if i could grab 7 with DUKE i would feel pretty good.

Duke and ml on my radar too. +7/+235 @ betus right now! As you stated NW laying chalk on the road is a joke, IMO Duke is a better team than Cuse...



Anyone have thoughts on the TTech/Nevada game? leaning towards the dog & over 67

[FlyersFan]

im really really close to playing DUKE on Saturday. The more i look at that win over JMU the more impressed i am. They returned 17 guys off a 1-AA team that lost to APPST in the playoffs last year. New coaching staff and DUKE returns 10 guys on a defense that pretty much shut down JMU last week. NWU was really unimpressive, IMO vs. a really really bad SYR team (how does robinson still have a job?...but that's foranother day). I think they can win this game SU and if i could grab 7 with DUKE i would feel pretty good.

[Underdog88]

here is an interesting trend:

SJSU games are 14-1 to the over last 15 september games

NEB games are 7-1 to the over last 8 September games


SJSU has 2 dyanmite receivers. NEB will probably hang 50 on SJSU and i can see this game in the 70's. Will be interesting to see what the total comes in it.

57 though I believe it opened at 59. Kyle Reed played the 2ndh well for sjst (14-18 132 yds & 2tds) & Nebraska gives up pts. SJST team o14.5 for me :thumbs:

[NittanyLions94]

Keep me posted Nittany....I heard rumor about this that it was going to be a bombshell.....stoopid, just plain stoopid!:bang:

As of now the players were held out of practice yesterday and I believe they are going to be drug tested. Again, all of this information comes from sources that aren't officially media members, but people that usually are in the know.

[BoilerBacker]

I'm ready for some MAC plays.....like OU against the Buckeyes with that big spread and the Bobcats new offense which is a spread offense, Akron will beat 'Cuse, UConn to beat Temple who couldn't must but 250 yards of offense and about 84 rushing vs. Army, BGSU to beat Minnesota by 10pts., and yes, THAT state up norf to put down a horrible offense and Miami, OH at the Big House!

Also liking ECU, Vandy and Tejas as well....but more than likely I will just start loading my card with MAC plays and one or two others.

:thumbs:

I am a MAC fan, but I really think the conference is about as weak as it has been in years. I look for BG to let down and maybe lose to Minny this week. Minn lost at home to BG last yr in OT and you have to believe that is something they remember. Plus you have the let down factor with BG winning on the road last week vs. a top 20 Pitt team. I think 6 pts is too much as I look at it now. (I did play BG for 3* last week so I do respect them.)

I lean to Ohio and I like Akron too. I think the mighty Flashes are a decent play at +7 vs. a weak Iowa State team.

.....there are rumblings that DE Maurice Evans, a corner(presumably AJ Wallace) and a DT(presumably Abe Koroma), could be suspended and/or booted from the team for a marijuana violation....And now I'm hearing only TE Andrew Quarless and AJ Wallace were listed in the warrant.

Keep me posted Nittany....I heard rumor about this that it was going to be a bombshell.....stoopid, just plain stoopid!:bang:
