I honestly know very little about these teams. The UNDER would seem solid, as they will most definitely be tight.
Anyone have a strong feel here?

who knows...

I would think Alabama A&M since they are the all black school. This is as good of a reason as any to bet on this trashy game.

I watched A&M's game yesterday, and they have some solid guards and play tough defense. I would have to lean very hard to them catching a touchdown against a 12-18 team based on solid defense and good guard play.

oakland played very TOUGH teams all year they beat a very good oral roberts team to get here, on the other hand alabama a&m played nobody as I see it NO WAY a&m wins this game they may cover but I dont really see that! IMO oakland rolls by a final of 69-58

I only watched the last game each team played, and I would have thought the line would have been the opposite. So this is a very tricky game. A$M should win but getting 7 ruins the fun. I may have to watch this one.

Fyi

Guys, there is a member on BC who recently put out a post on this game and he is going to make a big play on oakland. He lives in michigan (where oakland U is) and he strongly believes this line is a TRAP.

FWIW, just like to pass along info. btw I can vouch for this guy as being a quality source of info.

I dont have an opinion on the game, havent looked at it, but I do know if a line looks too good to be true, 99% of the time IT IS!

I actually think tigerbait has a good point. Not just an all black school but I think an all black conference. I am taking the points in this game.

Hey Jimmy the Greek, that is absolutly no reason to take A&M. Oakland is the bigger, stronger team here, and unlike A&M, Oakland has played much tougher competition. I'm waiting to see if other like minds take A&M because they're from a black conference, jeez! Oakland is the right side here, I'm just waiting to see how much it sinks.:scared2:

Oakland obviously PLAYED the tougher schedule, however they didnt beat anyone in the non-conference.

A&M Played the weaker schedule, but they did play Texas A&M to a 3 point game AT Texas A&M.

Oakland also played at A&M and lost by 18, now obviously it isnt that simple, but the factors that lead me to a small play on A&M are,

1) I liked their guard play in the game I watched, and Trotter and Ricketts have nice range.

2) They are playing with a lot of emotion for a coach who will be undergoing 7 weeks of radiation treatments 5 days a week for cancer as soon as they are done playing.

3) Oakland is a bad team, as is A&M, but tough to ask a team that lost 6 more games than it won to not only win, but to cover a touchdown.

This is by no means a HUGE play for me, but strength of schedule alone should not make Oakland a play any more than A&M being an all black school should make you play them.

Small play A&M 1* out of posible 5*

Good luck,
