Going to start on the card, beginning with tonight's game. For those who missed the previous threads, I will post my lines and the actual lines to all the games I handicap as new posts in this thread and then just add any games I bet into this post so keep an eye out and I'll add through the week. Good luck to everyone.
Florida Atlantic +120 LOSER
Florida Atlantic/Middle Tennessee State Under 52.5 -110 WINNER
Neither team has been that impressive so far this season but Florida Atlanta has a ton more experience and won last year's meeting by 13 and this was before their offense really started to hum. The Blue Raiders don't have enough of an offense to hang in this game.
Boise State/Louisiana Tech Under 57 -110 WINNER
Great value here. Louisiana Tech has a one-dimensional offense that doesn't put up big points. Boise State's offense is nearly as good as previous years and Louisiana Tech has done well against the run this season which could make the Broncos stumble just a bit. I don't think this one hits 50.
UAB +3.5 -110 WINNER
UAB/Memphis Over 56.5 -110 WINNER
These teams won't be able to stop each other and both should score 30+ points. There is not much seperating the two squads and I'll take my chances with the +3.5 on the home team.
Oregon State +11.5 -110 WINNER
Utah is getting too much love. Oregon State dominated last year and has enough of an offense to keep this one close. Utah will have to score 40+ to cover this spread and I don't see them doing it.
Cincinnati -3.5 -110 WINNER
Marshall has a veteran squad but they just don't have the personel to matchup with Cincinnati here.
BYU -29.5 -110 LOSER
Utah State is horrible. They won't be able to stop BYU's offense at all and the Cougars could very easily score 50 themselves if they feel the need. Utah State can't pass and against a team that plays great D like BYU it will be a long day for this one-dimensional offense.
Penn State -13.5 -110
Purdue is a decent enough team but Penn State's offense is going to roll them over and I have enough faith in an always strong Penn State defense to hold down the Boilermakers and get the cover.
Indiana +7 -110
Indiana/Minnesota Over 59.5 -110
Neither of these teams can stop the other one and you should see scoring on nearly every drive. Indiana won last year and this game should be tight til the end with both teams going back and forth. Gotta like getting the touchdown with these teams being pretty even everywhere else.
Iowa +6.5 -110
Iowa/Michigan State Over 46.5 -110
I understand why this line is the way it is but that doesn't mean it's right. The bookies are not giving Iowa's offense enough credit to score here but this team should have much better stats. They can both run and pass the ball very effectively and just have made dumb mistakes around the endzone all season long that makes their scoring look less than it should be. Iowa scores here folks.
Western Michigan -6.5 -110
This is the homecoming game for the Broncos and I think they'll be fired up and get the win here. Ohio's a solid school but Western Michigan will score enough for the cover.
Tulsa -16 -110
Tulsa/Rice Over 79 -110
Tulsa has one of the top offenses in all of college football and can score a ton of points on anyone while Rice's defense is horrible. It would be shocking if the Golden Hurricane didn't eclipse 50 here. Rice's offense can score decently but they aren't nearly as talented as Tulsa and are going against a Tulsa team that usually has some good defensive strategies. Something like 56-30 sounds right.
Miami OH -7 -110 (2-UNIT PLAY)
Temple is without their experienced starting QB and their backup has looked like crap. That is not a good thing to have against a solid and veteran Miami OH D. Temple won't score much here. Miami OH doesn't have the greatest offense in the world but Temple's offense will give up bad field position and the home team should easily cover here.
Illinois +2.5 -110
Michigan's offense is crap and after the shocking upset last week I don't think they will get another fluke win. Illinois has the offense to move the ball and will take advantage of the short field Michigan's offense gives them all day.
Florida State +2 -110 (2-UNIT PLAY)
This line is a joke. Miami is good and improving and at home and all but Florida State has a very nice offense this year combined with a dominant defense. Miami's offense will have issues and I don't think their defense is running at 100% yet. Love this play.
Eastern Michigan +20.5 -110
Bowling Green is a ton better than they've looked so far but this is a larger spread and Eastern Michigan has the type of running game that will keep the clock rolling and put up some points, making it pretty hard for Bowling Green to cover a large spread.
Wyoming +11 -110
I know the Cowboys have looked like crap this season but they are not a bad team. New Mexico's offense is just as bad if not worse and I just don't see an 11-point difference between these teams.
