Public is all over NIU here with nearly 80% of bets being placed on them. Call me crazy but I would fade the public here and take Toledo +3. The Rockets are really stout and home and NIU was very lucky to escape at home last week (although the box score doesn't indicate how close the game truly was).
The play here is Toledo +3. Anyone who really thinks NIU will win this game should consider taking the ML of you bet them at all, trust me this will be a close one. Final prediction NIU 35 - Toledo 34. However, don't be surprised if Toledo wins outright. Good luck all.

Again, the Pats are 1-3-1 ATS the past give games out of a bye. Carolina BIG to cover -1 at home on primetime. P.S. I must be doing something right, considering the majority of the public disagrees with me. Vegas wasn't built by betting with the public...

Sign me up for Panthers -1, at least that's the spread on my book at the moment. Here are the reasons I really like the Panthers to cover tonight:
The Patriots, although they are getting healthier on both sides of the ball, still have a huge void at DT with pro bowler Wilfork out and their backup second string DT too. In addition, the Pats offensive line has struggled mightily this year. This plays to Carolina's strengths; running the ball very well and getting to QB on the defensive side of the ball. Plus, the Pats are 1-3-1 their last five games off of a bye. Therefore, the bye week isn't as big of an advantage as most people are assuming. To top everything off, the public is all over the Pats here. As they say, "the only thing worse than a heavily backed favorite, is heavily backed public underdog." This is a primetime, home game for a feisty Panthers team with a huge chip on their shoulders and looking to prove to the naysayers that they are for real and can hang with the elite teams. Large play on the Panthers for me tonight! Panthers 27 - Pats 21 |

This is one of the worst officiated games I've witnessed in my entire life. Just wow. Rigged, no doubt.

Tech is 7-1 this year under a new coach with the basically the same players Turderville had. Also, if you haven't experienced the Jones at night...it is worth 7points there. The decibel meter will be pegging tonight...guaranteed Raider Red, I faded you last weekend, but I'll certainly agree with you this time around. Tech at home during a night game is intense. I honestly cannot believe this line has moved to +1.5 for Tech bc I was all over them at -1. I'm betting the house tonight on Tech!! This Red Raider team plays much better than they have the last few years and hell they had a good chance at winning in Norman last week. Guns up!

As a huge Bucks fan who grew up in Ohio, I advise anyone who wants to bet the Bucks to lay off this game. Purdue usually plays Ohio State pretty well, at least in recent years. Purdue +32 at home is practically a lock. Sign me up for the points.

You mean the team who's playing at home for the rest of the series, the team which is up 3-2 this series, and the team which just won two out of three games on the road? Give me a break. Pressure is clearly on the Cards bc it's win or go home. With that being said sign me up for the Red Sox. To be honest this game reminds me so much of game 6 of the NLCS. Instead of Kershaw taking the mound, it's Wacha. Both pitchers had pitched out of their minds prior to game 6 on the road. I see Wacha having a let down game by recent standards and expect a vintage Lackey performance. Good luck Card backers, you'll need it.

Just as I stated back on that Central Florida/Louisville thread (Post #64) on my list of “crooks,” at that point Russell Wilson wasn’t a confirmed bandit, but tonight’s performance let’s me know he HAS taken a bite of the “poison apple” (The Wise Men in Vegas own him now).
I’m
NOT telling on anybody… I’m just saying… Holnt ever consider it could be many other factors, other than Russell Wilson throwing the game? Oh you know, like the Rams d line absolutely destroying the Seahawks offensive line. Additionally, Zac Stacy has ran all over the Shehawks tonight. Hell the entire Seattle team must have been paid off bc this piss poor effort applies to nearly their entire team!

ITS A KNOWN FACT Seriously?? You're just mad bc you bet a double digit road favorite. Seriously, that's a sucker bet. Like I posted earlier double digit home underdogs are 23-7 the past 5 years and are 1-0 this year prior to this game. And no the Jags-49ers game in London doesn't count because that's a neutral site.

Double digit home underdogs are 23-7 ATS the past 5 years in the NFL. With that being said sign me up for +14 on the Rams all day!
To top it off I'm getting +105 juice on my book. Go Rams!

Well Joe to answer your question, "how deadly are they?" Well to be honest, betting against double digit home underdogs is pretty much deadly, toxic, poisonous, or whatever synonym you would like to use. Double digit home underdogs are 23-7 ATS the past give years in the NFL. With that being said sign me up for a big play on the Rams tonight. Good luck all!

P.S. RaiderRed just remember that a wise man once said, "the only worse bet than an overinflated favorite is a public underdog." Once the public backs an underdog watch out. Good luck to all!

Or what about OU looking very average vs. Kansas, but yet this "overrated Tech team stomped KU in their building or the fact that the overrated team defeated WVU, a team OU could barely beat in Norman? Sounds like you believe only what is on the surface, yet when you dig down deeper you see that OU favored is why Texas Tech is one of the top underdog picks of this weekend. Tech many not win...a blow out would be very unlikely. Don't get your panties in a was Mr. Homer. I certainly am not betting the house on Oklahoma because they are the 'traditional power.' I'm picking OU because they are the superior team and have much greater athletes on the field, are playing at home, and have a much better coach. Additionally, the game is currently in a rain delay and the conditions will only favor the team with much better run game. Especially since Tech relies so heavily on the pass. Good luck Red Raider backers, you'll need it.

As a longtime north Texas native, I'll let "y'all" know you're overanalyzing this game. I'm by no means a fan of either school, but I've watched these teams week in and week out for decades now. Texas Tech, along with Louisville, is one of the most overrated top 25 teams in the country. They've yet to beat anyone with a winning record. Hell, they've beat powerhouses such as Texas State, Stephen F. Austin, SMU, etc. Sure, OU has had a down year thus far. But don't kid yourself, they're still the premier Big 12 power. Additionally, the Sooners have lost only lost once at home the past several years. Yep, they lost to Tech two years ago at home and you better believe that Stoops hasn't let his team forge that. Therefore, they will not be underestimating this Tech football team. Guys swallow the points, even if it's a full touchdown. Sooners by double digits. I honestly expected the line to be -10, but instead those of us betting OU received a gift. Sooners big! 38 - 24 |

I'll gladly take +7 for the home team underdog.
Yes, the Seahwaks are a great team but they just don't play nearly as well on the road. In addition, the Cardinals defense is extremely underrated. Don't overanalyze things guys, take the points. Prediction: Seahwaks 23 - Cardinals 20 Good luck to all. |

Cardinals ML and under is what I'm rolling the dice on. I see this as a low scoring affair in which I fully expect Wainwright to pitch a gem.
Prediction 4-1 Cards and a complete game for Wain's World. You heard it here first!

Take the points fellas. UNC usually plays Va Tech pretty close.
Vegas is luring rookies in on the -7.5 Va Tech line due to their road win at Ga Tech last week. UNC is a much more difficult match up for Virginia Tech than a one dimensional Georgia Tech. Take UNC at +7.5 and the under. Prediction: UNC 24 - Va Tech 17
