Week 6

24-20 total

4-4 last week.

Come on, man!!

Meh. Moving on...

Thursday:

USC
@ Utah +13'

Love the line. Actually expected it to disappear in 30 seconds but it's still around. Usually means it'll be 16 by game time. Eh.

I can't be "situation guy" anymore if I pass this game up. So, have to jump on it...


UCONN +10
@ Rutgers

Arid said it all in his thread...ugly game. So, I expect the winner will take it by 4 or 5 points.


BC
@ Army +8'

This is one of those lines that teases you and says "it'll be +9 soon, just wait." They always go the opposite way from me. (After Army lost to Stony Brook, the line probably SHOULD be +10 but it's the time of year to take shitty lines.)


Virginia Tech +3'
@ North Carolina

The hook was calling me.


Michigan
@ Purdue +3'

Purdue will take an INT back for a TD...and miss the extra point...it's just how they roll. So make sure you take that extra 1/2 point...


Kansas
@ Kansas State -24

Hell, I can't take all dogs. You'll start to think I know what I'm doing...can't have that.


Looking for one more. One line is going back and forth between 2' and 3...gotta catch it at the right time.

Army +9' now...

Ok, there were good lines that I took, another one fell into my lap...but I've been doing this too long to make that big a mistake. I'll add another bet to Army this week...but for now...

Adding:

West Virginia
@ Texas -6'

I think TX can bring enough pressure to mess up Geno's game. That was Syracuse's secret vs WV...the thing their D is best at is pressuring the QB.T

The worst thing about winning the heisman in Sept is that this game will take place in October...when the Sept 'winner" usually falls off the map.

______________________

Probably it for tonight. I'll eventually play GA...hopefully at +3 but will settle for +2' if that's all there is...

K State...Texas....Georgia

Adding 3 more:

Army +10'
I don't like it, but I need a bet over +10 and the line is where I expected it to be to begin with.

Georgia +2
@ S Carolina

Pittsburgh
@ Syracuse +2

I was thinking over the total but I don't trust Pitt. I like the Syr D vs Sunseri. Syr D is best vs pocket guys. The Pitt offense lets Sunseri take some shots downfield, but he's up and down. 

Syr DL is disruptive like Cincy's. Pitt tried to ram it up the middle behind a huge OL but Cincy's DL kept getting penetration and screwing everything up. I like Syr to follow that script and get the same result.

I like Syr's chance to be more efficient on offense. Pugh is returning to the OL. This will send the RT, L Alexander, to the sidelines or back inside where he's a better fit at OG. Alexander had been committing procedural penalties up and down the field. The offense will be more efficient this week. The OL will protect Nassib better. The redzone turnovers might just be a cumulative effect from all the penalties and Nassib running for his life during drives.

Syracuse has not beaten a BCS team since...West Virginia in The Dome last year in the same weekday situation. Though I'm not using that to defend this situation...it's actually a reason to not play Syr vs a BCS team! Just an interesting side note...
 

One more side:

Tulane
@ ULL - 23



3 totals and that's it for the week:

Rice @ Memphis OVER 64

Wake Forest @ Maryland OVER 50'
Young MD skill guys play better at home. WF plays faster tempo when they're behind. Expecting MD to score first and force WF to pick up their pace a bit.

Tulsa @ Marshall OVER 68


14 plays?

Thurs:
Utah +13'

Fri:
Syracuse +2

Sat:
UCONN +10
Army +8'
Army +10'
VT +3'
Purdue +3'
Kansas State -24
Texas -6'
Georgia +2
ULL -23
Rice/Marshall O64
WF / MD O50'
Tulsa/Marshall O68

2-0 so far this week, let's keep it rolling:

Arkansas
@ Auburn -7 -120

At the risk of repeating myself...Arkansas will not bounce back because they are leaderleass...blah, blah. Arkansas is fragile... This is how Syr was during the Greg Robinson years...blah, blah.

Auburn has blocked 3 kicks this year. Arky should be fine until that happens in this game. Then, the floodgates will open up and the hogs will all say the same thing: "here we go again."

Nice that the line got down to 7' but still prefer buying the hook.

Virginia Tech +7 -120
Adding another bet just to get the TD cushion.
