So Piss and the Under

 

[metsrp86]

Getting their #1 QB back hopefully. Havent been playing that badly, and I dont know how UTSA is laying a TD here. They havent done anything offensively whatsoever. 21-17 type game here either way, I think.

 

[pressitup]

I'm on Southern Miss @ +9. Haven't hit the ML yet, but I haven't had a cocktail yet.
So they set the team total at 27 for the Chaps huh? they've reached it twice. A haha surprise vs. Cougar high to open the season and vs. FAU.
They scored 9, at home vs. NewMex. Shutout, at home vs. UTEP.

SoMiss has a terrible D avg, but when you look at the fact they played Messy St. /ALA/Marshall , taking that in to account, that # recedes quite a bit against like opposition.

UTSA extended Coker after last years surprise. And they get this. Just like a career 220 hitter.

 

[pressitup]

Sorry that 's +7, typo.

 

[Fondybadger]

I may take the under with ECU/Cincy total up to 71.5. While each team has reached some high total scores this season, both defenses have played a bit better lately. Toss in a game that will kick off in the upper 20s with a wind chill of around 20 and I can see some issues.

Would agree that it will likely go under, but don't think I'm going to touch the totals as a 27-21 game puts it over and I don't see that being out of the realm of possibility. I'm going to be on Southern Miss. Just need to decide if I want the +7 -105 or +7.5 -125.

 

[Fondybadger]

Don't think Cal will stop USC scoring... just depends what USC defense can do. Took USC game/half smaller

ended up taking 7.5

Interesting choice laying that quarter Fondy. Good luck with that game. Not sure I want to m ss with it.

Played under in USC game and took ECU -2. Both small.

 

[Gorgolon Lives]

Cincinnati no stranger to these week night games...This is their 3rd straight. So far 2-0, both games weren't close. ECU is coming off a bad loss at Temple. Not if they are for real. They looked good early in the year, but have failed to cover 4 straight. I don't think it's possible to back them on the road tonight laying any points.

Agreed, besides the shitty weather there's some good trends favoring the under as well. ECU's last four on the road, and Cinci's last 4 out of 5 all under. Good luck...

 

[Schrute]

I like Cinci to be better prepared for the weather

ECU? I watched that terrible SMU team go up and down the field on them with the DBs consistently giving 8-10 yd cushions vs. 2-star WRs. And against an SMU team that had scored 1 touchdown in 4 games. Then I subsequently saw ECU DBs literally falling down and / or tripping over their feet against UConn WRs and giving up long TDs as a result. Someone should have checked the bank accounts of their secondary players after those games. Most recently, ECU outgains Temple 428-135 but somehow manages to lose by 10, which happens when you hand the ball to the other team 5 times,

Cannot think of a team I'd run faster from at this point than ECU.

Good luck. With the UTSA/S. Miss game (guess I should change title from SMU) my feeling is it will be a lower scoring game and I can see UTSA winning by 7. My like it will be something like 22-14 now.

 

[smo1a]

Good luck Fondy. In principal I agree with taking So. miss, but given the options of 7.5 -125 or 7 -105, I'd take the 7 personally. If I'm betting a dog anything under 1 possession, I like to feel they can win SU. That said, if I felt this would actually be a 7 point game, I'd Prolly lay off all together.

Hope the hook pays off sir!

Under sounds good fondy but I am on cincy tonight. Good luck anyway

I couldn't have said it any better, how is ecu favored vs cincy? It's hard to understand
