Army/Navy over 47
Army/Navy under 52

I know the under has been getting hammered.Do you think the army will score in this one?

3 or 4 points should be easy for them

Good middle, especially if you are laying reduced juice an either side or both.

ps- Under 55 is even better!

lander, you're joking right? I know you're a middler so I know you would take this in a heartbeat. I'd play it max and then some! 4 middles and 2 sides for a CFB total for -110's? Hell yeah! I'd do 48/51 let alone 47/52.

Good luck Nicky!

A 3 point middle is profitable. 5 points is obscene.

Under 52 is off the charts good, considering the market is telling us the true line should be around 48.5. But nothing wrong with some over 47.

Want to really give em the business? Parlay some of the under 52 to Army, and some of the over 47 to Navy.

Well, as Fezzik said, this is a 5 point middle...10 "sides". Figure 3 point middle for 20 points is good, I might even accept a little less. So that's about 3.5 pts per side. 10 sides for 30 points is just 3 per so YES. Plus the chance to win is so significant that I'd pay a little more.

I locked in under 52.5 today and am now seeing 48's out there.

Wonder how much more this thing will drop.

I'll probably just middle the sucker if it drops a few more points, and of course the game will end 10-7.

It's in Philly & will be played in a monster snow storm. Get the under while you can.

(I can't believe that I missed this weather angle....GRRRRRRR)

I'm not crazy.

1st off a football middle is rarely a good play in itself, and second off there is a very good reason that this total dropped. It's because the game has a heck of a chance of going under. I just got through driving 3 hours through a nasty snowstorm that hit Philly earlier and is forcasted to hit again throughout the night.

We're talking lots of wind and and 20 inches of snow.

He has a great play in the under, so there is NO reason to lose that edge with an unlikely football middle.

Middling is best when there is no obvious edge, not when you hand back your advantage

Well here's what it depends on boys --> LIMITS and how much you can get down on the 52 while it's also sitting on 47. If you can basically get all you want on the 52 then it makes no sense not to middle at least some of it. Basically you've got a certain amount that you're willing to put at RISK on the game total play. Pick a number, let's say 1100 OK. But let's say you can get down 2200 at the 52. Don't just play the 1100 on U52. Play the whole damn 2200/2000 on U52 and then put say 990/900 on the O57 so that your risk is back to 1100 where you need it. If you can't get down more than your willing to risk on the bare play, then fine, I can understand (though it's still not my style) going bare on the under. But just because you play the under straight up doesn't mean you can't also play the middle if you can get it down. Oh, and college football totals do hit, especially 5 pointers.

D2,
I'm aware that any middle in any sport can, but my advice is to stay away from football middling as they are generally not profitable and/or shooting your self in the foot by selling a good number.

You math is a little irrelevant because NOBODY can grab a 55 because it dramatically dropped due to the weather. People can now grab a 48.5 (which is still an ok play). And if anyone happens to have the 55, then they have a huge advantage.

You're hedging your own wallet - that's crazy
