doesn't make a lot of sense to me, looks like a toss up on paper.
NCAA week 8
We here at MaineRoad Sports Advisors© enjoy helping the unsophisticated sports investor appreciate the nuances that allow professional handicappers like us to hit 52.3% of our wagers consistently, while the rest of you poor souls gaze up at the stars, trying to make sense of it all. Allow us to assist.
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!

thx a lot guys !
thx a lot guys !
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
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
Talk about ugly cards.
Had to tail on temple - that is my kinda play. Kornholio
Keep winning.
