UCF vs. UCONN: I NEVER put a play in on a Sunday but this line is dead wrong

Are you serious? I could give you 10 million examples of games receiving steam and hitting.

Uconn is only a small play.

If you care, Iowa is my big early play.

Good luck on all of your other plays today! 

Well you're shooting yourself in the foot, especially with the light drizzle and eventual rain in Connecticut right now.

UCF likes to run, does well at it (#45th in the nation) and obviously has more talented and explosive runners.

Traditionally rain benefits the running team.

UConn ranks #119th in the nation in YRG at 3.2 and in the bottom quarter of the league in total yards gained.

And this just speaks to the drizzle/rain today which puts you at an ADDITIONAL disadvantage based on everything I wrote and I didn't even address the weather.

Iowa huh???

Not sure what you see in Iowa. The Purdue win last week is meaningless. It serves a scrimmage for them. Maryland crushed Purdue than got their as* handed to them by an underwhelming Penn State team. Purdue builds false confidence in teams because they are so terrible. Bearcats killed Purdue then looked lifeless against Houston.

The same thing happened last year to Virginia Tech and Illinois (two average to below average teams just like Iowa this year) when the got destroyed the next game after beating Purdue and like Iowa who scored 49, put up 48 and 52 respectively on Purdue the game before.

Before that, you have struggles with Minnesota and Rutgers (RUTGERS) and losses to North Dakota State and Northwestern.

And I know you've seen Beathard play. It was hard putting my money on him against Purdue. I'm not doing it against Wisky. The guy can't throw for 200 yards or barely complete 50% of his passes. Now he faces a ferocious defense.

I see you losing a lot of money today. If I were you, I'd start focusing on the late games to make up for it. Maybe I'll post something late to help you make up for your afternoon debacle of betting.

Are you well? If I give you 10 million steam bet examples losing steam and you give me 10 million steam bet examples receiving steam than how the hell does that serve  your original point that somehow, UCF receiving steam (WHICH I PREDICTED IN THE OP) is a bad thing????

I also live here in the Northeast. It's raining right now. I'm perfectly fine with it. I'd rather have a fast field down in Central Florida but this favors the better running team which UCF is.

Why do you care so much about steam?

Do you bet all your games on how other people bet on or against your team 1 hour before kickoff???

You really think a move to 3.5 to 4.5 is some earth-shattering move to be scared of.

IF A GAME IS CAPPED PROPERLY, steam means nothing.

The only play that should be made on the Wisky/Iowa game is UNDER 43.

Iowa will not be able to score in the redzone, and the same for Wisky....I would be surprised if there were 4 tds scored let alone 6 and an FG.
