NCAAF Saturday 9/29 Thread

[MicroBob]

We had the early picks thread and then the Thuesday night games thread but I think it was about time to start a new one for the games this Sat and I did not think anyone else had done so yet.


My top pick is SYR -1 vs. Miami, OH.
Miami is reeling. Blowout losses to Cincy and Colorado. The COL loss was 42-0. They have very little going for them.
SYR might have a hangover effect after tehir big win but I think they are clearly the superior team.
I'm not a big believer in Miami's home-field advantage. The crowds are particularly unenthusiastic when the team isn't very good as is the case this year with their 0-4 start.

I'm also on MSU +7.5, AF +2.5 vs. Navy, OSU -23.5, NCST +9.

Thinking about taking ALA vs. FSU but the lines are kind of weird at various places.
Maybe a basic Q here but I'm kind of confused about this.
On WSEX it's FSU -1.5.
But on Bodog they just kept it on the 3 and it's now -3, -145 which just seems silly.

Why would Bodog do this for this game? Doesn't seem to be that common a thing for them.

i also like Ohio +3 vs. Kent.
Dr. Bob must have taken Kent because this line was only +1 a couple days ago I thought.

Washington +21 is also interesting to me.
And I think I like O55 in Cincy/SDST

illinois vs penn st. depending on the line you get

Troy -12.5/-105 1u
USF +7/-105
I took ArkSt -4/-110 Push
USF +7.5/-110 1 more u
Oregon -5.5/-105 1u
lean UNC, ECU, Pitt +7

DrBob did take Kent as you guessed

[wiper]

who is this drbob character, and why is he moving every line he picks? i've only started to see his name around here the last few weeks..

[brendanb438]

He is a gynecologist who thinks he knows football like he knows a vagina.

He is horrible this season.

[MicroBob]

Do a searxh around here for him. There was a big article on him I believe in the Wall Street Journal last year. Really interesting. It was linked a few mths ago and then I think myturn2raise dug it up and posted the link again just 3 or 4 wks ago perhaps. Might not have been myturn though. Can't remember for sure.

Obviously a lot of people tend to follow his picks seeing how he moves some lines 2 pts or more just by saying, "I like Kent" on any given Thurs.
