    strange that that temple line opened at 6 and now is at 8. 

    doesn't make a lot of sense to me, looks like a toss up on paper.

    The only thing I would be worried about with Temple is the very weak schedule they have played up to this point. It reminds me of that game last night. ULL had looked bad to that point, but it was against good competition. And Texas St had looked good, but it was against very weak competition.

    thx a lot guys !  appreciate the comments

    foolish -  thx buddy - GL this wk

    UGA - hope to look at the GA game tomorrow

    shark -  don't like to see you on houston - i can see anyone's hesitation on that one.........BTW - we would never mock Covers Bloodbath Guy - Can never have enough 50.2% winning systems 

    Dr S - see your point Hoping the 8 points compensates - Temple wont give them anything - GL !

    Bizz 


    So Flo 2 Tulsa (52.5)
    Screaming no play for us - we do like the way SF played against Wisc and EC - i think Jimmy or someone nailed that SF vs Wisc game - We do lean SF but cant lay chalk on the road with a team that does not have any QBs completing over 45% of their passes....They do have star FR RB Mack who is like Barry Sanders but with better moves and the power of Jim Brown.....Can't play Tulsa - 118 ranked D and 117 in turnover margin - just so bad on D and they are not getting enough points.....No take on total ....No take on side....Will use Tulsa in ML underdog parlays

    Maryland 5 Iowa (51.5)
    Probably will have a release on this one later in the week just need to check some intel and reassess our thought process.....Lean to over - Maryland D is awful and Iowa showed they can score last wk - yes against Indiana and at home but we have fair line closer to 54-55 - Maryland can probably score on almost anyone.....As far as the side - Sagarin and ourselves both have the game closer to 2/3....Iowa getting no respect despite playing well....Clear sailing until home games vs Wisc and Neb could be a big 10 darkhorse....Iowa 8-0 L8 away ATS......Iowa D ranked 26 and M is ranked 100.....Maryland has inconsistent QB play....hmmmmmm....strong lean iowa this line will probably fall but its in a dead zone now would probably still take 4 - just a strong lean for now will revisit - anyone with intel ???? mega

    Minny 12.5 Purdue (48.5)

    Lean to the dog in this one - think the line should be closer to 9.5/10....Purdue offense has been a lot better last 2 games since Austin Appleby has taken over - did not look out of place vs Mich St last wk and they kept fighting until a late pick 6 made it a 2 TD win for mich st......Also a lean to the over in this one - need to check intel and team totals on this bad boy - Minn is solid - they just keep winning so well coached good D and underrated QB....Last wk they did not even hit the 300Y mark got late KO ret td to win game....Dont see this one going to 14 but 12.5 another dead number even a drop to 11 or so might still have us laying pipe but just not sure we can trust the Purdue D..........Lean to purdue and lean to total - will do the unthinkable and consider Purdue for ML dog parlay action

    It seems on the surface thatmany of you are having trouble coming to terms with how  a team that dragged Texas A&M all over the Alamo Bowl last year could have opened as a neutral field dog (the true open was a pick;  we pros have access to information most of you will never see) to a team that lost at home to Ball State last season?   Duke is what we here at MaineRoad Sports Advisors© call a “Sarah Jessica Parker” – a team that looks good from afar, but looks worse and worse the closer you get.  The Devils are off of deceptive win at Georgia Tech, where they were actually out-statted significantly.  That game was also what we here at MaineRoad Sports Advisors© call a “Wizard of Oz” game – one in which weather turned the whole game upside down.   Duke has one of the lowest yards-per-point numbers in the nation (this is the sort of statistical analysis that we here at MaineRoad Sports Advisors© pride ourselves on), having been far more opportunistic than good.  They also rank 101st in Division 1 (that’s the big Division, where the games have female sideline reporters) against the run, and have played the third-weakest schedule of any top-100 power rating team (ahead of only Georgia Southern and  Akron). 

     

    Virginia, on the other hand, is better than its 4-2 record would suggest.  It badly out-stated BYU and UCLA (back when those teams were good) in its two losses.  We here at MaineRoad Sports Advisors© call this kind of team “Russian Nesting Doll,” as the more you look inside, the more good things you find.  The Cavaliers are #6 against the run, and the Devils have struggled to throw the ball consistently. We here at MaineRoad Sports Advisors© expect Mike London and his crack staff to keep 7 in the box, isolate #1 Duke target Jamison Crowder, and force the oft-erratic Anthony Boone to beat them. That’s an equation we like, which makes UVa our Sarah Jessica Parker Russian Nesting Doll Conference Road Dog Off-a-Bye Week Play of the Month!

    Wake 5.5 Syracuse (42)
    No way we can take either side here without laughing....Now VALUE GUY will take a peek at cuse - we did as well since we had the fair line closer to pk ....However - upon learning that Cuse is down (probably) to their 3rd string QB - a true FR - makes the power ratings go out the window - Do Meaningless Statistical Calculation Guy will have his head spinning trying to figure out how good something called an AJ Long might be.....And Wake QB situation also comical - just cant trust either team on the side - Keep in mind that Wake played AT fla st and at louisville and at utah st so they may have a bit of upside just dont know - Most compelling idea is the UNDER but we would have to GO AGAINST OUR RELIGION to play an under 42 in NCAA......We do lean strongly that way however - going to wait for team totals to be available.......Fun Stat of the Day - Wake had a COMBINED 226 total yards in their last TWO games Don't think the MEGALOCKS staff has ever seen that over a 2 game span....So definite lean under - smells like WF/ULM game early in yr but may prefer team totals so like we said - will check those out - hold the phone on this one may have a play.....Summarize - PASS on side - Lean to an under of some sort on the UNDER......no play on the ML

    UCF 19 Tulane (45)
    we have the fair line closer to 14/15.....Yes Tulane starting QB is doubtful but N Montana - son of Joe - friend of Flicka - will get the start - went wire to wire last game....started last yr - a bit of a drop off maybe but you get more experience....Bigger concern to us is Tulane scoring 13 6 12 last 3 games....outscored 78-19 last 2 on the road - and another MEGALOCKS EXCLUSIVE stat - UCF has won the last 2 games by a combined 110-14  Obviously not particularly relevant this wk but had to throw it in there for junkies....UCF D should not have trouble containing them - So cant play Tulane for reasons noted - UCF sure maybe but paying too stiff a premium in our mind - might get to 20+....No take on the total slight lean to tulane TT under but probably gonna pass this game on all accounts - even the game total not a stonecoldlock if UCF gets some easy TDs Tulane can give up pts on the road.....PASS across the board

    Baylor 7.5 W Virginia (80)
    tough game to get a read on for us - well sorta - only because there are "pointspreads" and "totals"....Over ! well its 80 ? 45-35 still only gets a push.....baylor D is pretty decent - and 80 does not give you much buffer room if there are a couple red zone miscues....still slight lean in that direction but cant take over this high of a number - We have the fair line at 8...right on the spread.....A little leery of playing baylor off a big 4Q comeback win against TCU and now going into a tough venue....Can't really back WV here - Baylor an eye popping 30-13 L43 against the number let that soak in....To us - Baylor is a fade when they face a D that can give them problems - we tried fading them last yr vs sooners and burned  but had nice winners - bowl vs UCF and our 2485235823495234905823405934 star LIVE FROM VEGAS SMOKESHOW SURPRISE STEAMER  that not even subscribers could believe but you can lead a horse to water.....To summarize - not keen on fading baylor and dont love the spot for them pass on the side -pass on the total - WV gets a call for a possible ML underdog parlay inclusion you could probably do worse than throw those guys in there if you want a spicier payout

    Mega...one of my favorite threads each week.  
    FWIW, I see and hear lots about the Cuse here.  AJ was technically the 3rd string, but the best of the lot. Hunt had the experience & prob had no chance of being him out.  The plan was to red shirt him this year until Hunt got hurt.  So he by passes the "2nd string" qb.  AJ also became the passing td leader for the year vs fsu with his 2 td passes.  Hunt had one and the punter (yes the punter!!) had one.  They've moved the ball ok most of the year, but have struggled mightily in the red zone. (almost as bad as Clemson!) Their new play caller seemed to have better flow vs fsu last week...I could see them putting up 24-30.  That total seems low.  I guess we'll see.  Good luck this week!

    Mega, I'm with ya on Temple.  Houston is a little overrated.  What do you think on these leans so far.

    Clemson -5 BC   Tigers have major talent advantage.

    Michigan St -14 Indiana   Sparty should easily pull away.

    Cal +7 UCLA   Bears have enough power on offense to hang.

    Washington +20 Ducks   Huskies are tougher than that.

    San Diego St -7 Hawaii   Aztecs cover at home.

    Watched the Tulsa Temple game last weekend, and I am not to high on the Temple D.  Was impressed with the offense however.  See a high scoring game.

    Here ya go Mega - more filth.

    After last week's destruction of N. TX by UAB, we have to fade them again.  The box of that game is misleading in two ways.  First, UAB got a ton of turnovers from NTX to lead to that final score.  But, second, despite that UAB dominated.  When I checked the box at at the end of the first half it was something like 300-100 in yards gained.  N TX gets almost 200 yards after the score got to 56-14.  And now you have to lay 10?  Granted S Miss is pretty darn awful, but NtX is living off the past.  They are one of the worst 5 teams in the nation.  S+P has em ranked at 124/121.  S Miss is only slightly better at 117/107, but as you say, its not a pick em.  This NTX team has no business laying DD to anyone right now.

    2 more fade the filth plays. 
    SMU is coach quitting on players and vice versa bad.  Gotta lay the chalk with a mediocre Cincy team that needs the win for bowl eligibility.  I think I just vomited in my mouth. 

    And then we have the Chipps again.  You were all over this last week, and the value is stil there - getting healthier against another team living off last season - Ball st.  They are in the bottom 10.  Think we may get away with playing this despite it being a public bet this week.

    Talk about ugly cards.Bandoswb

    Had to tail on temple - that is my kinda play.  Kornholio

    Keep winning.

    Had to tail on temple - that is my kinda play.  Kornholio

    Keep winning.
