    Final note on the Ball St game.

    We will note that if you guys want - like we said earlier - NW TT under 35 is also a good play. We have NW scoring 36+ only 33% of the time; NW covering -20 about 40% of the time. We posted the +20 knowing that everyone can get that line if they choose.

    Remember tho - we also loved E Michigan to go over last wk  so our process finds bad picks more than occasionally !!!......NW winning 38-10 is entirely possible.

    GL guys

    quick question  doesnt the total in the navy vs uconn game seem a lil low. navy past that total in 11 out of 12 reg season games last year. with the only really low scoring gm being against army which is understandable. and doesnt uconn have a pretty decent qb who can throw?  or is uconns defense really that great?

    Ya. I agree. We are not playing that game but our fav pick is over since navy can score on pretty much anyone and Uconn will have a much easier time on offense this wk. GL !

    Already addressed a couple of pages back...

    IMO, it's a great situational spot to catch Stanford coming off a signature win vs USC. Not to mention the look-ahead spot with Zona on deck at home.

    Classic sandwich/letdown spot tonight

     

    Good thread.

    IMO, it's a great situational spot to catch Stanford coming off a signature win vs USC. Not to mention the look-ahead spot with Zona on deck at home.

    Classic sandwich/letdown spot tonight

     

    Good thread.

    Mega... thoughts on the ECU and VT game with the weather

    I am of course biased because I'm a Alum for ECU but with the spread being what it is now, plus primetime game for us with TV exposure we always plays tough at home.. I think the rain will help us.. and see it being a 27-24 game for VT

    Thoughts?

    Mega, Lost the best line so not playing your picks. Rather play some under the radar games when they pop up.

    Always play against N. Tx.  Hard to figure  if @Iowa will keep starter in very long
    .  Like @Toledo a lot.  Ark. St. can't  play with them for 4 quarters
    .
     Playing Boise tonight cause I think hey play better D. I think  they win the battle late. 

    GL,   Doc

    Trouble with the over is Ruddock's awful passing efficiency on throws over 15 yards. If Michigan can't throw the ball down the field, BYU can play cover zero and stack the box.

    BYU thinks 28 pts will steal this one; therefore, play aggressively. Michigan thinks they need to grind the clock and the defensive front-7 to get a strategic 2-possession win at 17-7 or 24-14.

    If you think BYU will play the dominant strategy, forcing Michigan to take chances on offense, why not take the points? You won't have to rely on Ruddock and Michigan to do their part.

    Hey Mega - Love all your hard work, especially enjoy hitting from the Crack Pipe - let's make it three in a row!

    If the All Request Super Hotline is still open, I would love your take on 377 Florida Atlantic -10.0 @ 378 Charlotte.  Inquiring minds want to know!  Cheers to all your insight and tell John Cocktoastin he's doing a helluva job

There are many true and redshirt freshmen nowadays that come in and do a good job. NW QB is a redshirt FR with one TD pass on the season.Yes Ball is missing a couple of starters on D but even late Sept most teams are banged up. From reading Ball St news/notes/coaches stuff they are going to be more than able to put capable guys on the field. The totality of our analysis is what makes us play the game - injuries are typically overrated unless a top QB / crappy backup or a cluster of injuries. And again - we are catching 20 points so it is all about context. Final note - they may also be without one of their top OL for the game . You make very good points as usual but my suggestion is always - if you don't like it - don't play it - or fade it. MTSU vs Bama and UConn last wk vs Mizz had all sorts of doubt in our minds but we just go with our process and its only one game. GL this wk ! keep up the good work. mega

    GL, boss.  You definitely know what you're doing.  Keep up the great work!  I may be on Ball State myself.  Like the number.  Was just curious your thoughts on the injuries.

    Hey buddy...I really like VT at the opener around -4 on Sunday - just missed it was paying attention to other games - once it got to 7 I lost interest b/c I do not trust VT QB situation on the road (maybe I should?) and I know this is a big game for EC. I am taking a pass on this one due to my unfamiliarity with EC right now / potential weather issues / and VT has ACC on deck....Gun to the head would roll with EC but would want 10 maybe game day it pops back up.....GL !

    Baylor 34.5 Rice (74.5)

    We looked at this one for a long time starting on Sunday night....Just cannot bring ourselves to take Rice in this one even though we originally leaned that way....Baylor off a bye and put up 56 and 66 the first 2 games - Rice is a much better overall team - BUT - their D is pretty subpar and #111 in pass eff D which means 22,000 yds for Baylor QBs no matter who is in the game....Not sold on the Baylor D but do not want to get caught up in one half of watching them vs SMU - kinda like the Cincy backup QB - Covers Talent Evaluator guy noted he sucked vs Miami ohio then threw for 4 miles last night but we digress.....Baylor probably gonna get 55-70 in this game.....We like the Rice QB but just can't play the dog - spread looks a bit high technically but ????

    Summary - lean Rice TT over as best bet in that game if 21 or less even better if 20. Should be able to score some.

    Great stuff by the crack staff as always MEGA
    I am disgusted by this brush fire of garbage games this week, but it's always the least watchable ones that seem like good betting opportunities
    Playing the Hoos tonight but normally hate ACC as a rule.  I just can't get past crowd will be rocking guy on my way to the Boise window.

    I actually like the Badgers to run over the Rainbow warriors as they fly in from Mars...the 3-4 defense gave OSU trouble b/c of a short week and Urban still trying out player rotations, but Bucky will run it down their throats IMO....

    Also playing the Cal/UW Over, since the Bears seem unstoppable but play lousy D. 

    Also wondering how Iowa can be 24+ better than ANYONE

    BOL as always

    ALL REQUEST HOTLINE IS ON THE AIR
     
    FAU 10.5 Charlotte (65)
     
    Megalocks line 13
     
    Just when you thought you had issues - in comes a dedicated subscriber wanting to know about FAU / Charlotte  Well done you freakshows.....well done
     
    Hard to back the fav here - they may get back their #1 QB - but Driskell (not THAT Driskel ) has looked ok....FAU desparately needs a win 0-3 but win this conf game - then a bye - still time to turn things around...they just get in their own way so much just cant bet them - blew lead to Tulsa gave up 600Y in OT loss, gave up over 500Y in Miami loss - then outgained Buffalo and
    QB Veal Licata 490-290  but 5 turnovers did them - esp when buffalo returned THREE for TD.....Charlotte a total unknown - beat Ga St yippee then Pookydoody St - then blasted 73-14 by MTSU used 3 QB and turned it over 7 times do not know what the SAM HILL is going on there at all and too be honest - we did not sick our research team on this one screams no play to us BUT.....
     
    Summary - if you had to play the game - have to take FAU any team that gives up 70+ and looks bad doing it the previous wk cannot be trusted.....even if it is the first home game with an FBS visitor.
