New Mexico State looking to bust the bad team SU record, ATS record theory. 1-5 SU, 4-2 ATS

Does Bill ever have bottom feeder type teams in his picks?

Nevada hangover off never beating Boise in Boise and finally doing it? New Mexico St being competitive, but those ATS wins have come against a slumping San Jose, an FCS, a slumping NM Lobos team, and an always hard to figure out San Diego State team. So one could say, they really haven't covered against a team as good as Nevada is all around.

I'm intrigued. It's a lot of points. If one likes NM State I assume one might like Over also, unless the Boise hangover comes into play with the Pack O?

Not big on throwing the word fluke around but that 1h against SDSU was as close as it gets. Seems to have woken up the Aztecs.

And the Nevada hangover is could be a real thing, hard to lay 31 against what appears to at least be a scrappy bunch
 
Trying to figure out something for tonight but I dunno. Arky st defense is so so bad, I would look at coastal team total over but worried bout McCall being a little gimpy at moment. Really wanted to convince myself to take the 20 points but it just takes a lot more faith than I have in arky st to play much better than they have been!

Tulane looks like they have gotten worse by the week. Houston should be able to just light them up thru the air. houston d getting a lot of pressure and forcing turnovers, Tulane coughing it up 3x a game! Seems like a recipe for a houston cover but as Tahoe mentioned dunno if I trust them to lay a td on the road? Gotta be either houston or pass imo.
 
3 of arky st 4 fbs opponents have scored over 50. Coastal has scored 49 or more in all but one, the one they didn’t was their only other road game tho. Last year they hung 52 on this team. Team total 46.5, seems pretty doable. It be the highest team total I ever played over tho! Lol

Lockett over 5.5 rec at plus money
Over yards.

Dk under 5.5 receptions at plus

Woods over 5.5 receptions and yards

Gonna see if they have anything for djax? Would like to get a over yards/td for him at a good price. Only doin bol online and they don’t have, assuming the draft kings casino might tho. Fixing to head up there now.

Woods been doing some griping so figure he gets more targets tonight. Even heard mcvay say as much plus ya gotta figure Kupp be getting all the attention at this point. Djax didn’t play many snaps Sunday so think he be fresh here, he always been a prime time kinda guy, think he get at least 1 chance to hit them over the top! I lean over with Kupp also, maybe his receptions over 7.5 at plus money, he has gotten DD targets each week, figure woods prob sees a few more of Jefferson targets not Kupp. DK been a little banged up and figure he will see a lot of ramsey which why I like Lockett who also been good in prime time and off a few down games.

Maybe Wagner over 9.5 tackles? If Rams commit to run he should get that easy. Kinda leaning to a fireworks show tonight tho. Seattle secondary can be had as can Rams.

Glad you mentioned that. I wasn't even aware he was hurt and was looking at the over

I really like Houston, but laying that much on the road just doesn't seem like a wise way to start the week. Just going to play a small Houston/C Caro/Ark St over parlay

I ended up putting houston in some parlay or another but not much. I did take Tune over 232 passing yards

I think he be ok, he playing anyways. I still like coastal to score over 46.5. Arky st defense is so freaking bad, plus Blackmon throws some picks.

And speaking of defense, Houston has the biggest defensive edge over their opponent of any team on the board this week, but C Carolina's edge is almost as big. The only minus for C Carolina is this is only their second road game this year and they struggled v Buffalo in the other one

The way houston get pressure /forces turnovers combined with Tulane turning it over a bunch the reason I had no interest in the home dog. I def think houston the right play they just hard to trust on the road. Mf’ers woulda liked to lose to navy! Lol. I did add them to a parlay but didn’t wanna get real invested. Did put a normal size bet on Tune over 232 passing yards. Tulane defensive numbers vs pass are really really bad, they pretty much rank in the 100s In every category!
 
Woods props cashed before half! Had a few tough breaks w Lockett, asshole db tackled him before ball got there to steal a 50 yarder and then penalty called back 20 yards td that woulda been Russ over also!! He still bout half way to yards and catches at halftime.
 
I don’t see much of anything for tonight’s games. Cincy possible flat spot but who wants to back temple? It also possible Bearcats been hearing the talk about how their 2 signature wins might not look that great so they looking for style points rest of the way! Pass.

The asu line seems crazy high, damn thing almost up to 14!! Almost feels like last week where they begging for some more dog action? Dunno that asu is anywhere close to the level of those teams who laid the big numbers last week? Asu defense has been pretty good, they really tighten the clamps on teams after halftime! I wouldn’t expect trees to have much success rushing the ball which could lead to asu teeing off on the qb (5th in the country in sack rate!). Think my lean is trees team total under but that stinking 19.5 they hanging is totally useless, basically 2 meaningless points! Maybe that a tell tho? Even trees 1st half total they sticking on 9.5 with juice go over, begging folks once again?! I’d like the 1st half better cept for fact asu d seems to get better as the game goes on. Asu yards per play on offense is sick also, 3rd in the country! They also convert 3rd downs at the 6th best clip in the nation (53%)! Maybe they are the play here? But man I just don’t think I can lay it.

I didn’t get a chance to look at any the props when I went up to bet today’s baseball games but I will when I go back to cash my tickets! (Hopefully!! Lol). Maybe something with cincy rbs or ridder over rushing yards? Anyone else got anything they feel strong bout tonight?

I like his card but think he was way high on talking bills up, acting like they gonna kick Kc ass, they might win but no chance in hell they beat their asses! He spitting out all those numbers but he kinda ignored the fact bills have played the easiest possible schedule for a defense (look at the qbs they beat!) while kc had to play a couple teams that the worst matchups for their d to start the year and then the chargers!! Kc offense is still light years ahead the rest the league in offensive efficiency and unlike all the teams bills been whipping they have a good line! Even kc defense that been horrible is still the same dudes it been, I think they will get better as the year goes on. This gonna be a great game and kc the more desperate group.
 
Cowherd hates the concept of being some public lemming

Makes it hilarious that he took the Bills like every square known to man

Imo it freaking nuts to buy into all bills defensive numbers as meaning anything here. I mean yea i like their d as well the next guy but they have faced the easiest, crappiest group of qbs and olines possible!! Of course they getting pressure without blitzing! Bet they don’t dominate kc retooled line! Despite all the sloppiness kc still the most efficient offense by a mile and they have played 3 good defenses. Bills offense/Allen in particular hasn’t been nearly as efficient as last year. I’ll be on kc ml I think if it gets cheap enough, scared to lay even 1.5 with them! Lol
 
I think I like the under in the bills/kc game, bills gonna do same as last year and sit in that 2 deep shell and force kc to drive the field. Bills run game is def improved and it obvious to everyone you should run at kc! Hope it keeps getting Bet up! I would like to get 58-59!! Lol

I certainly am not a Chiefs fan

I will be on the Chiefs significantly on Sunday
 
Remember though I'd rather lose a wager and have my team win

We're oppo in that respect

Agree on tonight's games. It's pretty likely Cincinnati comes out flat, but who wants to back the Owls.

Stanford is totally unpredictable. Three score loss at K State, two score win at USC, two score loss at UCLA, 8-point win at home v Oregon. Really the whole Pac 12 is unpredictable, but Stanford is the worst. Ariz State is the side, but that line is too high for me

Owls might be in spot to be flat more than cincy. Bearcats expected to win last week and they need style points. Temple off big upset themselves. That said im not looking to lay it either.

This week's game is the one UMass fans have been pointing too! And Phil jumps off. Got to pick and choose your spots on teams like that. Phil is resorting to giving out FCS games in the middle of the season?

oh shit, someone other than me likes wvu!! lol.. dont love her other plays tho.. feel like horns getting entirely too much love, i leaned them as well to start the week but im sold that Ou run defense is good enough to limit robinsonn, just not sure bout thomson if he doesnt have the benefit of that run game doing work, he been pressured on a crazy amount of drop backs considering how much teams have to worry bout the run game!! think this line really should be closer to Ou-6 or -7 so think it a good buy low spot on the sooners,, no secret how much i dislike rattler tho so think it just a pass for me.. been trying to talk myself into Ou anyways, horns defense the worst unit that take the field imo..
 
i been back and forth on the pen st/iowa game,, think ive decided it iowa or nothing and i see that where you at as well.. that iowa defense like a boa constrictor, plays that shell and just suffocates ya into mistakes! pen st defense been really good as well but not sure how much they been tested? looks like there gonna be 20-30mph winds, i think iowa run game will have more success than psu. if those winds accurate believe im gonna be playing under even if these low 40 ncaa totals scare me!! i dont think clifford is gonna turn it over more than once, long as he does that should be a total grind for both offenses, just dont think psu can beat iowa at their game!!! thinking something like 20-14 as iowa will win field position with their top notch special teams..

joey like "fuck this ill get back on track, if im gonna back big favs it be bama and uga!".. not looking to fade him this week! lol.. bama 1st half all day.. if i was trying t cap it id say i almost like bama full game better just cause aggies defense might be able to keep them in it for a half? i expect the will wear down tho as they be on the field all day!!!! of course ive proven too many times trying to cap bama 1st half is stupid, just shut up and play it!!
 
im starting to take a liking to wyo as dogs at air force, gotta just ignore how underwhelming they been vs crappy competition! not like any those games matter here as this all about can they defend the AF option and i think they have proven they can..
 
damn,, looks like i coulda cashed the trees 1st half under! losing their kicker certainly helped.. i had it in a parlay with mlb which didnt come close to making it to this point if anyone saw my mlb today it sucked!!! hopefully san fran hangs on to get me a win!! ugh..
