Sorry for putting my plays out so late in the week. I've been really busy with the NFL articles lately. Plus we have UFC 103 coming up this weekend so it's been a little hectic. Anyway, I'm starting the card now and will be finished by Saturday.

 

[JakeT.]

We'll start with Friday.

My predicted lines:
Boise State -10, O/U 58

Bets and why:

Nothing here. Lines are too tight. Go with the over if you have to force a play.

 

[JakeT.]

My predicted lines:
Ohio State -17, O/U 57
Purdue -14, O/U 54
Kansas -26, O/U 42
Army -4, O/U 44

Bets and why:

Kansas/Duke Under 51.5 -110

Duke's offense can't run and Kansas's defense looks incredible so far this season. I don't see Duke getting to double digit points unless they backdoor me in garbage time. Kansas has been scoring nicely but they've been using the running game to do it which grinds the clock. The Blue Devils have not stopped the run so I expect the Jayhawks just to grind the clock and help out the under with the running game.

Ball State Cardinals +8 -110

I feel like a moron playing this team but they should be able to stay within this number. The fact that Army runs 95% of the time helps underdogs cover because it shortens the game. Ball State has played horrible but they are not as bad as they've shown and I think they'll be able to run on Army. Army's D is simply not as good as they have shown and Ball State is much better then they've played.

Good luck this week. I've cashed on both 2 unit plays. Was kinda sweating the over in the Ok St/Houston game at half, but they got it rolling in the 4th quarter. DO WORK!!!

Good luck to you too. Yeah the 1st half was a disaster for the over but Oklahoma State finally got rolling the 2nd half. Houston just couldn't be stopped the entire game. Not exactly how I saw it going down (I figured Houston wouldn't get past 40) but I'll take the win regardless. :toast:

Not a problem man. I just wish I had more time to do this. Usually I have the entire NCAA slate capped before the lines come out. I still think I'll have a nice season but hitting 60%+ is probably not going to happen. Good luck in week 3. :toast:

interesting.....NTexas was able to run all over BallSt a couple of weeks ago. Maybe things have changed on defense in the past couple of weeks...

North Texas ran over them because Ball State wasn't planning on them to run that much. They had to respect the pass. Against Army and their triple option is should be much easier to figure out what they are doing for Ball State. No threat of the pass.

Sorry guys. That's all. 1-1. I'll try to do more next week. NFL writing is just killing my handicapping time the last week or two.
