How anyone can have confidence in ND is beyind me, that Fvcko Quinn can barely complete a pass, and to top it off, they have NO running game! LOL

 

[PRatings]

BrockLanders, we'll see...
Good luck.

 

Not a good decision hoopsrus. You should wait on that NDame line as it will be at least 2 TD's by kickoff.

Same thing for the BYU line... Stanford will be favored by at least 4 points in this one.

If you consistently bet on bad lines it will catch up to you.

 

[PRatings]

omahamoneymaker. thanks for your advices but i'm only a newbie at this site, not in the gambling world. i don't believe the ND line will go to 14, and even if it does, i think people who back michigan here will look stupid after the game. nd has a very good chance to win outright. the byu line could go to 3.5 or 4 in the next few days but i think i will not need the extra point as the byu has a good chance to win outright as well.good luck.

hoops...is see you are catching some flak...but it`s all intended to be helpful....that`s what the forum is for...

that`s why i say,be careful with that byu play...not sure how good n.d. is this year...

but stanford may be a bit of a surprise.....may be buddy teevens best team....with one of the top prep qb`s in trent edwards....he got his feet wet last year....and he`s surrounded by experience on offense...and the entire back 7 is back on "d"...even though they were young and struggled last year....

....i understand byu`s qb went down last week and they went back to matt berry.....

stanford may actually be a decent club this year...may be......need to see a bit more...

just a heads up

best of luck...

it`s to early to tell....

 

Hoopsrus,

I hope you didn't take it personally. I am just trying to be of assistance as I am sure these lines will move in the direction you want.
Best of luck.

 

[PRatings]

Nthing personal guys. I would take ND here at pkem or even if they were favored by a field goal. Quinn is not the best QB out there but at least he has some experience. Michigan's Henne will make his first road start ever for Michigan, a team on a 4 game losing streak in road openers (0-6 ats). Remember Oregon last year ? Notre Dame 13-3-1 in home openeres last 17 years, with three losses of 7 pts or less each, and 3-1 ats as home dog in home openers. Notre Dame also 6-0 ats as a home dog in weeks 1-3 since 1982 and 5-1 ats as home dog vs Big 10 and 6-1 ats in revenge games vs Mich. ND lost to BYU in week 1, but BYU is a much better team this year and Mich. won against Miami thanks to the lack of experience of their QB. Underwood's 2.8 ypr and Jackson's 3.6 ypr will not be enough to beat ND ont he road. They will miss Perry early this year.Everything but a close game will be a huge surprise for me.

 

[PRatings]

one trend to consider for the texas/arkansas game...Big12 is only 4-19 su and 5-18 ats @ SEC lately, 1-6 ats when favored.

 

[PRatings]

Big12 actually 4-19 su and 3-17 ats @SEC in last 20 yrs.

One last small play on Div.I-A teams...

Arizona +14 -140
First real test for Arizona's new coaching stuff.Arizona beat Div. I-AA N.Arizona who's ranked #13 in Div.I-AA and Utah looking ahead to the Utah St. rivals after a huge revenge win vs Tex A&M. Utah 1-5 ats last 6 before facing UTST. MW 1-5 ATS when favored @ PAC10 and 9-16 su, 8-17 ats when favored vs PAC10 teams regardless the venue.

 

[PRatings]

And one small play for this week's last game. The total keeps going up and i think it is too high now. Yes i know yhat these two teams have a history of high scoring games but both teams are now missing some key offensive weapons from ly and both teams have experienced defenses this yr. It's the first game of the season and the offenses usually need more time to start to gel. under 59.

 

[PRatings]

Wow, just in time. The total is now 56 !

 

[sphincter]

do you really think utah is looking past a pac-10 foe toward a fairly nondescript utah st team?.......maybe...i`d be surprised,though...

i`m not sure about that one....i think it might take stoops and arizona a little time to jell....

and utah`s loaded...

a much better version of this n.az. team got hammered by a very inconsistent az st team last year 34-14.....

21-3 isn`t all that impressive,imo...not much offensive production.....and i believe that utah will put up some points....

just putting up a little counterpoint...

just the same,g.l.2u....

 

[PRatings]

Just a push...so 12-5-1 so far.

Sphincter, good point, but I think UTA will not cover 14 pts in this letdown/lookahead spot. Good luck.

GL this week. I like your play on UTC +45 alot. I think the line is way too high. I have seriously been considering Lehigh. The line on Lehigh is down to PK but when I first saw it at +1.5, my initial thought was I didn't need the points so I'll probably still play it anyway.
