Memphis at Arkansas State (09/27/2007)

arkansas st. looks like the better team....looking at who they played already.  memphis beat only a 1-aa school and had to score 14 in the 4th to get the ole miss  game close....as long as it stays under a td by game time with akansas st. playing at home i think i will take st.

Gonna think twice about betting this game again. I knew damn well the chicken shit shylocks would change the line . I bet this game at +4 three weeks ago...Damned if I do , damned if I dont...

  Ark st clearly a better team but what does that mean ,especially at a 7 1/2 pt swing

man the rushing O of ark vs a porous rushing D for memphis looks tempting here.  ARK st for me.

Memphis should not beat these guys but who knows to half ass teams

Last week I said asu would cover against tennessee...missed it by that much.... they can score. Memphis is really bad. No defense.

Tommy West the head coach should fire himself this year. "he's a great guy"...is what you hear a lot. so are my golfing buddies but they can't coach. He hasn't been on his game since a major heart attack two years ago. ASU jams this one where the sun doesn't shine. go indians

This one looks like a Trap! Ark. St??? You are going to put your money on Ark.St.?? Since 2000, they have been fav in only 12 games. Here are the teams: San jose st, ULM, Tulsa 03', Utah St, Idaho, Florida Atlantic, North Texas and Lousiana Lft most of them multiple times. I wish I was could take that bet. They (Ark. St.) came close to two teams that were probably not even looking at them on the schedule. Revenge is in the air big time!! Especially after getting handled by UCF. Memphis can't stop the run is right..., but only against UCF, and UCF has the 15th best running game in the country. 1st year D Cord also for Memphis. Memphis is 3-9 in road openers with the avg margin of defeat by 12 pts. That was the first one! Not this one, it was supposed to be, but got cancelled . Memphis will not be overmatched here by the 4th best team in the weakest division in D1. Arkansas St. can't stop the pass! Ask yourself what does Memphis do well?  PASS! Last year they were +3 in TO's and couldn't stop the run last year in this game and a hail mary won it for Arkansas St. with .6 seconds left. B4 that it was ten straight L's. I'll pay to see them do that again!!!  Once again I will be at the pay window picking up and fellas, you will be making the deposit. P.S. Ark. St. played Tenn  who also played Fla and got taken out back! and Texas  who does not look like anything. Memphis played Ole Miss who was giving Fla everything they wanted and UCF who almost beat Texas also.

Memphis looks bad and the line shows even though Arkansas st is giving up 4 points i think that nothing compared to how bad memphis' offense looks, even Tommy West thinks so. Plus Arkansas st runningback is getting 100 yds a game. 

erik, those are a bit reaching comparisons but i get your points.  i still think memphis is lousy and we will see after the game who cashes.  a solid running game if established can really tear a team's D down.  BOL

isnt this total set like 10 pts to high anyone else feeling that!!!

 

 

    I will be taking ASU and the under most sureley at this point....

 

i need to make up for last weeks loss minor loss but still a loss

Arkansas St does look like a trap.  But after betting against Memphis last week and see how bad they are I have to take ASU.

arkansas st - 30           memphis st - 24

under 61  go with the sun belt in this one . taking conf usa in the other game (so miss).

 

going with Ark St.

Why does it seem like if you fade the consensus every Thursday night you cash...in this case I'll be playing Memphis.  I know nothing about either team.....hahaha

well MEMPHIS got OWNED by UCF'S run game all rushing TD's but on the other hand MEMPHIS got 3 TD's by 3 different QB'S so in all i think ARK ST. has a better edge with a more mobile QB who has 3 passind and 3 rushing TD'S but i think MEMPHIS rebounds and keeps it close 2 cover ATS in the 4th quater wih a spread pass attack....

 

MEMPHIS & OVER  

 

I watched Arkansas State play a very close one at Texas. They actually won every major statistical category and the only problem was that every time they got inside of the 30 yard line they would botch the play with a penalty or a mistake in execution. They could have easily had 3 field goals or 3 touchdowns if not for those problems. Memphis is really bad. Their stats show an average of 15 minutes of time of possession per game this season and they got waxed by UCF. I break this game down more on my blog javascript: var newWin = window.open('https://jabth.blogspot.com/2007/09/thursday-night-memphis-at-arkansas.html') but bottome line I have Arkansas State dominating.

I wouldn't bet the Over/ Under here as it will be really close.

 

I would take Arkansas State (-4) though.

 

Score = ArkSt 36, Memphis 27 

we're such degenerates betting this game.  We probably dont know shit about these teams and we're still betting them.  Nonetheless, Ark st. looks like the better team on paper, ark st. it is.

 

DG'S UNITE!
