Re: Week 9 Early NCAA Lines
[ QUOTE ]
Opinions needed: What would the USF/UConn line have looked like if UConn hadn't luckboxed to the W? [/ QUOTE ] They didn't luckbox. Louisville actually caught two breaks later in the game that more than made up for fair catch debacle. Plus UConn, usually a team that doesn't turn it over a lot, fumbled several times in the wet weather. UConn is a pretty solid team on D. Having said that, I am leaning strongly to USF.

[ QUOTE ]
Will someone that follows the WAC more than I do comment on Boise St being a 4 point dog @ Fresno St. I was thinking BSU +4. [/ QUOTE ] Is Ian Johnson playing? I am staying away from it. Boise is a tough team to get a read on this year.

Re: Week 9 Early NCAA Lines
Boise is a 4 point favorite (3.5 now). Fresno has been under the radar a bit, but not overly impressive until last week. Boise has been more impressive, but isn't as good on the road, obv. The line looks accurate to me.

Re: Week 9 Early NCAA Lines
Adding:
VT -3 -110 This is just one of those games that we see so often with the lower ranked team playing a home game at night with the line within 4 points. These games have gone to the home team almost always over the last couple of years. BC will have to be a lot better than VT to win this game. I don't think they are.

Re: Week 9 Early NCAA Lines
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Has anyone seen the Ohio State line? I'm thinking they are a great play laying less than 7. Penn St. is just not very good. Morelli is good when he has time and can getin a rythm but as a team they are slow and look bad against teams with speed. I expect Ohio St. to put them away easily despite the night game at Happy Valley. .... [/ QUOTE ] Yes we've seen the Ohio State line. You are overestimating the current completely untested #1 by a longshot and underestimating the homefield advantage of Happy Valley. Ohio State hasn't played a single real team yet if you'd bother to look at their schedule(which I'm sure you haven't). PSU ATS Home: 4-1 ATS Road: 0-3 [/ QUOTE ] Of course they haven't played a real team, its the Big Ten. Nevertheless, they should do to Penn St. about what they did to Purdue, who is similarly crappy, but not too bad for the Big Ten. [/ QUOTE ] You bet real big on Ohio -4 at PSU 2 years ago, didn't you? Regardless, posts about how a team can't possibly lose on the road belong more in Sporting Events than here. Ohio's 7-pt win at home v Sparty, and 5 turnovers [home] v Akron where they were trailing 3-2 at the half didn't exactly remind me of a team that should be favored by 7 [LOL WTF?] at Happy Valley. #1/#2 undefeated USC, LSU, OKLA, USF, CAL, Fla have all lost, most of them on the road. I'm sure Ohio is immune from getting beat on the road vs a ranked opponent on national TV, at night. Just like 2 years ago. We've all seen the line, after all, this IS the: "EARLY NCAA WEEK 9 THREAD." Asking people if they've seen the line is silly. [/ QUOTE ] I was asking for the line because I couldn't find it. I did not bet on that game a couple of years ago. I didn't say and would never say that a team can't possibly lose, that is rediculous. I'm saying in my opinion it is a great play. After watching Penn St. against ND, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, I think they are weak and ready to be exposed against a good team.

I guess I'll stay away from the game.
