Quick Leans....
Richmond @ Appalachian State
Lean - Richmond plus points and ML if offered. They shut down a very powerful option attack last weekend. They limited the Terriers to 180 yards on 60 rushes, off the top of my head. If they can prepare for that, they can certainly prepare for this Mountaineer O, I would think. But remember, this is only a lean.
Delaware @ Southern Illinois
Lean- Over if it's offered, and Delaware +points. I think Delaware may be your next 1-AA Champions. They shut down a very complete Northern Iowa team in their own house, pretty decisively. The Slaukis have a very potent offense, which is why I would lean to the over, but I don't know what to make of their D. They handled a very ho-hum UMass team, that has been boring as could be, so I need to look into this one a little more.
Jut wanted to throw these out real quick, and see if Bull, or CB has anything to add, because I believe they are the only ones that read this thread.
First, don't sweat it hoops, you are without a doubt one of the shining stars on the site, so don't worry about the fact that most guys don't chime in with thoughts. It isn't because you don't have great information, but moreso because of a few things that are out of your control...
The main reasons are twofold. First of all, since 5dimes is the only solid book that actually offers these lines consistently, if you don't have an account there, you can't do much with the 1-AA info, since you can't get down on the action. Secondly, 5dimes makes 1-AA extremely difficult for those of us who play significant units per game, because they are so adamant about those 50.00 limits during the week that it almost makes it not worth the hassle to bother when it comes down to it. I can't count how many times I have been frustrated because I see a game I like but I am stuck playing it to win 0.1 units or whatever, because they won't let me play it for a full unit. Just makes it not worth the ROI for me in most cases. By the time they open up the limits, the lines have moved so much that the value is lost, so I am stuck with a situation where I have to go on a 10-0 stretch sometimes, just to clear +1.0 units. Again, the ROI is horrible in that situation.
The reason I like to check our your thread is because I always enjoy reading unique insight into plays from guys who obviously know more than me about certain situations and teams. I am a pretty cocky sob for the most part (what sports investor isn't haha), but I have to admit that when we disagree on a play, 9 times out of 10 you clean my clock, no ifs ands or buts about it. I respect that, as very few guys on here can do that with me (in fact, the greats like Fondy, CKR, Stacks can pretty much mark it down as a guaranteed loss if they are on the opposite side of ol CB haha, just messin with you guys).
With all that said, just keep doing what you are doing, because you definitely have at least one fan on this site who respects and admires what you do, as your thread is one of the few I read pretty much every week, so keep up the great work!
