Who is pounding the shit out of Tulane!!?? I liked Houston when this line came out and still do.

Houston has won on the road at Ok St & Miss St and beat Tex Tech.

Tulane has beat Army by 1 and Mcneese St....BYU was able to pass and run all over these guys...

I know you cant compare apples and oranges and things change week to week....I also know linesmakers arent dumb.....the line was set and I think most people would agree the the Cougs looked good giving less than 3 tds....

BUT, I have learned that this line movement means somebody or somebodies know waaaay more than I do about this game...

I was looking at a 47-14 game....should I be looking for a 27-17 game??

Any thoughts fellas??

Im also a little surprised that this is moving the way it is...
 
I dont like the game necessarily, but I dont understand the line move...

Tulane vs Tulsa in the beginning of the year was MUCH closer than appeared.  They beat Army on the road....not that Army is good or anything, but they're a scrappy team and tough on the road.  And remember.....UTEP is horrible and fkn destroyed them.  I'll prob play Tulane small.
 
Other than that, I've got nothing!

These are the kind of games and line moves I look for.  If the line is moving this much toward the dud team for no obvious reason,  that tells me all I need to know.   Tulane will be a play for me.

Yeah; I was looking to unload on UH at 19, but I'm not touching this mess now. 
 
Yes, the Tulane socre last week was a bit misleading, but I don't see how TU ever forces UH to punt.  Houston HAS TO get 37, so the Wave should need to double its awarage offensive output to cover here.  Somebody sure likes the Wave here.  Wish I understood why.

I think it opened a little high, but I'm going to take Houston now that it is at 17 or less.  BOL

Hardly with ease, Miss State moved it all over the field. They just has like 4 unforced turnovers. bad exchanges, nothing houston actually caused.

I am dumb like you train.
I lost on MissSt last week, because I bet against Houston's 105th ranked defense.
I suspect that may be what's going on here too. Houston lost another LB today.
In my view, the Wave is in a track meet here, maybe +17 is enough, but I doubt it.
BOL

ohcome on... anybody thinking about taking houston didnt see them against utep a couple weeks ago. that was an absolute fucking joke on defense... EVERY drive I believe UTEP scored on and im not aggerating.. I think one punt.  they were running the ball and being untouched for 40 yards and UTEP is a piece of garbage. quite possibly the worst defensive effort i have seen from any football team in my life. tread lightly.

I had Houston last week and everyone was on Miss St because of the UTEP loss  They had a downer after beating TT. The QB Keenan has passed for 5000 yds and Tulane isnt going to stop him.
