Week 9: lines that make no sense?

[RudyRuetigger]

Which lines do you look at and say what??

Clearly Utah/USC last week

What about this week?

UNC -3
UGA +3

IS it those 2 that books do not want you on?

Any other lines that look like the book is begging you on one side?

You think UNC should be favored by more?

What was wrong with the USC line last week? The books don't care about rankings. USC is the more talented team and were playing at home. As you saw the line was correct

 

[russ1945]

My average ranking system (offensive scoring ranking + defensive scoring ranking /2) shows UNC with an average ranking of 16 (the lower the better) and Pitt with an average of 57.5.

Georgia has an average ranking of 36.5 and Florida 37, so they are giving Florida the home field edge.

I'm not talking about a cappers perspective

I'm talking about a regular person looking at the game

Utah was definitely "easy money" being 3rd ranked team @ Unranked USC who lost their coach

From a regular guy I disagree man. Utah beat Michigan(I think is overrated), Oregon(was definitely overrated) and they got very lucky with Arizona St. I don't think Wilson is talented, I think he is overrated as well. USC played well against ND and USC was a highly ranked team for a reason, they had the talent at home too.

 

[Greenbacks]

I don`t see many strange lines like last Saturday.

Penn St at home laying only 5.5 pts to Illinois could be in the strange line category....Line was 6....0.5 pt. drop.

Clemson is a power house...Only laying 10 pts to NC St.....Line is lite IMO....NC St might be a live dog.

Good luck!

Air Force -7 on the road at Hawaii. To the uniformed, this one looks like a blowout, but strange things happen when playing in the Isles. Bettor (better), whichever, beware.

Do you listen to any sports radio or tv? Everyone commented on that line. Even watching other games, those broadcasters commenting on it

I'm on the east coast guy, I don't really pay a lot attention to west coast teams. And I'm nothing special and my opinion doesn't really matter. I just thought it was easy money USC -3. USC is a talented football. They showed their talents against ND with a first time coach on the road. My thoughts were USC will sell out on the run and make Wilson win by passing because he sucks. Great athlete but terrible QB.

but thats a little more in depth than what i am looking for

i am looking for media hyped vs not, a common man perspective. being on a sports forum alone probably makes you better than that unless you are brock landers

nc state and air force i think are great picks as well as a line off

the question is, if you make these teams home, add 6 points to line, would u think that line is inflated or not? (serious question)

so if nc state is -10, would they be -16 at home?

would airforce be -13 at home?

i havent checked these lines lately to see if moved or not, but need those opinions.




also how about vanderbilt/houston

it was like 11 i think. would houston only be -5 at vandy? maybe that is a trap

Were you talking about the Clemson vs NCST line? If I'm taking a team it's Clemson -10 but I pull for them so rarely do I bet on them except, The App St -19 and Miami -9.5 this year.

Had NCSt shown me a little more when playing power 5 schools I could buy the number 3 scoring defense. Clemson 14-17 points Saturday IMO. Unless we completely dominate the lines like last year, then it will be ugly.

unc won

Toasted...Salley, SC?

What about Marshall opening at -20 then dropping to -17 vs. Charlotte.
I have it capped around 28. The line seems low.
