The line came out -11.5 utsa, it's dropped to -7.... Thats a lot of movement on a line before gameday. Everyone is writing utsa off but vegas really likes utsa in this game accordingr to sagarin ratings. Do you think there is any value of utsa now at -7? I mean he'll they are at home with a good defense playing another bad team lol. Lmk what you think man
Yeah, I knew Mullens was probable when I hit USM at the opening +9.5.
As for the ECU game - I'm a bit troubled by the line drop today. I don't think that much of a drop is due to "surface" causes like Cincy winning on more visible weekday games and ECU losing badly in the final score department to TEM (as a look at the box score reveals ECU outgained TEM 400+ yards to less than 200 yards). I think the feeling might be that ECU really hasn't shown much over the last month versus poor competition, while Cincy's offense has been playing pretty well. I'm still fine with my play on ECU though, when it comes down to it I rate them to be better in the trenches/run game.
That being said, the line is just bouncing around non-key #s and is back to 2 some spots -- I think it makes sense in the context that there is a higher level of unpredictability in who is going to come out on top of when should be a high-scoring game.

BOL took it back to 2. That Temple game was one hell of an anomaly, trust me. You fumble the ball 7 times, lose 5 of the 7, and good things are not coming your way. The guys are focused, the D played well against the Owls, it just came down to Carden playing dropsy in the wrong spots. Weather shouldn't be a factor, I think the Pirates take care of business. Be interesting to see if Kiel can go tonight, I think he took all of one snap against Tulane and it was a wrap. GL
