Yeah ... but not sure the public knows either of these teams too well but have certainly heard more about FAU and the old man with the pipe than they have of the blue raiders. Also , hasn't FAU been on some tv games with their tough schedule already ? Not so clear cut where the public will be in my opinion.
i have no clue who wins this game lol.
how many points do these teams combine for ?

I agree here....although I haven't seen a total listed.I like MTSU and the over. 31-24 is what I'm thinking.
Both teams throw often, but they have been slow going because of the schedule. I think this will open too low given that MTSU and FAU are averaging 17.3 and 15.5 ppg respectively.
i think it's gonna go under. i'll watch it climb i guess.
Was looking at MTSU but the closer I look what have they done ? Get outplayed by Maryland statistically and win because they controlled TOP? FAU they played @ Texas , @ Michigan State in pouring rain and muddy field , and @ Minnesota who they beat last year . Just think FAU is the better team on paper and it seems obvious that after FAU burned manyfolks at Minny they could have easily opened this game at -3 but think it probably should be a PKem....Total isnt there soem Tuesday UNDER trend ???
Strong Lean FAU +3 or ML..:cheers:

I disagree Nut.MTSU just had a game against a pretty hot Kentucky team.Yeah FAU stood toe to toe with Michigan State but Michigan State would take an ass whopping from Kentucky.I may be wrong but no way FAU wins or covers.Just don't see it buddy.
Another thing is I see people saying I see everyone on MTSU.I am fading them. This is not a LSU/Auburn game. The squares have no idea who these teams are. This game will not have a lot of action compared to the big names.It was the same thing when 70% was on Minny against FAU.The line was -6 Minny. I rode with Minny even though the percentages were one sided because there is not a lot of action on the game.Same goes with this one.You have to know when to fade the public and just by looking at percents without looking at the bets is a no-no.I learned this the hard way.This game will not even be noticed tonight.All eyes will be in MLB.This game won't have a lot of action.Just be careful fellas.These are my opinions and I may be wrong but just be careful with the fading the public angle in small games. It doesn't matter.
Now for the total.Damn we are good. We all capped this between 47-51 . They got it right in the middle.I am passing on this one. This total is dead on according to my numbers and some of yall.Maybe we can find an edge with a half play on this total.
GL Fellas.
FWIW on the total (from Jim Fiest.com)....

I just disagree with alot of your points and by no means I am an expert here.
First I dont believe that Kentucky would whip or even definetly beat Michigan State simply because while Kentucky has a very good defense there offense sucks . Look at how Kentucky has won its games vs Louisville and even Western Kentucky . WKU is pretty terrible and thanks to MTSU hanging with Kentucky the line was the same the following week vs WKU. Kentucky had only 398 yards total offense , only led 17-3 at half which included a 100yd kick return and 45yd FG.
Which MTSU having a 62 YD TD pass early was a fluke .
Look at who FAU has played @ Texas , @ Michigan State and @ Minnesota compared to hosting Troy , Maryland pre-Cal game , @ Kentucky , @ Ark State . They have not been favored in a game yet and were 6 pt home dogs to Troy and lost by 2 TDs . Ark State whipped them . All the have is Maryland and Kentucky and things just went there way IMO . FAU hung with Mich State despite the fact there offense is built on the pass had to play in weather conditions making it impossible to pass while State has a good RB in Ringer . FAU got somked @ Minnesota but as I said before that game no way I see FAU beating Minny consecutive years . Oh and they got handled at Texas but these are some real good opponents.
I just cant past the fact MTSU wa +6 at home to Troy and was beaten easily . I look at Troy and see Minnesota as a comparable strength level team . Maybe Troy would be -1 pt favs on neutral field at this point . Which I would guess troy is about 6 pts better then FAU ...so if Troys lays 6 comfortable at MTSU then gotta feel a PK is the more accurate number .....
As far as the squares , publics , fades arguement . I could also say while they dont know these teams who is Joe Pub gonna pick if he wants action on this game ? Th ehome team laying 3 or less or the road team ? My reasoning for switching off MTSU was simply w/o researching thought MTSU had accomplished more this year then they did. Also I think the was much more flow on FAU then Minny few weeks backs. To me betting %s are largely irrelevant I rather get into the mindset of the avg bettor . Who IMO thought at that point felt Minnesota sucked .
I think you have to faded irrational thinking and misperception . Thats how can I say in Week 4 the Chiefs are gonna beat Denver . Reality and perception were very skewed in that game has nothing to do with being contrarian.
If I bet FAU here its because I believe the more accurate line is PK. Not because I fading the public .....
As for the total again why I like the under is first thing that popped into my head from way back when in the Covers days was Tuesday Night Unders . Alot of you gusy remember those threads . The next thing was MTSU with the s,ow , grind out offense and decent defense playing an FAU team who finally plays a medicore at best offense w/o big play capability but also has not done anything on the road on offense yet to be excited about . Talent is there but production hasnt been .
So easily could see a 24-21 game ..Right now just leaning UNDER as this gets BET Up .....

GL Ramble . Just so you know I usually only post when I DISAGREE with whats floating around the forum . If I agree with what is said by most I tend to just keep it to myself . So I doubt we disagree as much as you may think ....nice win by Ole Miss ....overthought that biotch ...had Miss 1st H and game but after pissing away chances in the 1st H thought FLA was gonna seize control in the 2nd and washed out of my bet . DUMB. Actually makes Ole Miss win more credible though IMO as they could have buckled at half and didnt ....:cheers::shake:
I don't think "the public" were the ones pounding this line up 3 points in 5 minutes at 11:30am on a Tuesday morning.

I would agree with that statement but don't agree with the over.
Sportsnut this is why I like it when we disagree. I love talking football with you even when we don't see eye to eye. So I disagree with your points but do like your under lean.It will be a no play for me unless they score a lot in the 1st half and the books give me a sweet line in the 2nd half to take the under. And to the public thinking angle/theory I stated it wasn't to you. I have just learned over time what to look for and was trying to throw some pointers. We all have our ideas and opinions and different ways to cap a game . I just want all of us to beat the books.I hate seeing all the guys on here have a bad day.
Sportsnut good talking with you bro. Like I said I could argue with you all day and enjoy every minute of your time discussing sports.Glad i found this forum.
