And how about Duke?! We gotta start finding these BIG ones. A few members been hitting em!!
honest question brother. what have you seen from FIU that makes you think they can win SU? UNT is a play for me ATS, and I just cannot imagine that anyone who has watched FIU play football this season likes what they have seen from their team...1st time thru and I might have some interest in these....

Should James Madison be favored at Virginia? Does JMU have the type of QB to beat a even a bad P5 school? I am not aware of any reasons to be liking 2023 Virginia football, I think they could lose to William and Mary in a few weeks and just judging by the score and yards vs Tennessee they were a total noncompete vs them. But a 6 pt home dog to JMU? I don't know if this particular version of JMU is that team?
I played under Sunday night with very little hesitation.Saban rarely loses at home but Texas D should be able to keep it a low scoring game and has the weapons to score some points if the OL can keep a clean pocket for Ewers and he can actually connect on any deep balls. That’s a big ask given the interior OL issues. Tackles are a strength. The right team is favored but Bama is usually favored by double digits at home and Texas is still pissed over that garbage safety reversal from last year. Sark will have some fun stuff dialed up and Saban will probably see most of it coming. Milroe will move the chains with his legs more than arm - a mobile QB is a cheat code in CFB when preferred options break down. This is the best front 7 Texas has fielded since the team that lost to Bama in the national championship game when Colt went down early.
All this screams under to me which means I’m dead wrong and we’ll probably see a shoot out.

We are thinking very similar in this affair.
Fade of that defense for NTx laying DDs on the road.honest question brother. what have you seen from FIU that makes you think they can win SU? UNT is a play for me ATS, and I just cannot imagine that anyone who has watched FIU play football this season likes what they have seen from their team...
I would add it’s a MASSIVE revenge spot.Nov 26, 2022:
NMSU 49
Liberty 14
IMO the weirdest result/score of the whole season last year. NMSU wins by 5 tds as a 24-point dog.
Obvious revenge spot for Liberty but with a new coaching staff. Aggies lose some luster after deficating the bed vs UMass but I'd give them a punchers chance.
I don't know what to make of Liberty this seasonNov 26, 2022:

I love me some cincy this week at pitt!
I have a longtime love hate relationship w Satterfield, I think he does some genies things offensively but I also think he a bit of a douche and sometimes I’m baffled w what he doing in a game when I know he can be better! Then there the issue of his teams late in games, it doesn’t much matter if they played 3 awful qrtrs and getting their ass kicked more times than not they would storm back and make it a crazy finish, on the flip side they could be up 3-4 tds in 4th and let a team beat them somehow!
Matter a fact last year vs pitt his offense did nothing for 3 qrtrs then scored 17 points in the 4th to win!! Lucky for him as aggressive he can be and unwilling to ever adapt to things happening in a game, since Pickett left pitt has went Back to never throw a pass if they don’t have to weak ass 1950’s football that the defensive minded head coach loves so they don’t often increase a lead to a insurmountable number, they just try and kill the clock. My only concern is this stupid ass new clock rule plays right into pitt’s idea of winning football. It will not be as easy for satterfiekd teams to storm back with qrtrs vanishing rather quickly! Early in the game will be more important than it used to be in games he coaches and since they played a pushover week one I have no clue how his team will handle the moving clock?
What I really like is Emory Jones imo is a bigger more durable looking version of Malik Cunningham! Several years and multiple teams ago Jones was a 4 star duel threat and I think he has not only matured as many of us need to do at 18-19-20 (some of us late bloomers 30+!) he is also with a coach who runs a system perfect for him! I have no doubt cincy offense gonna light some teams in big 12 up this year, they prob won’t light pitt up but they will have a chance to hit them for some big plays as Pitt d is fantastic but has always been aggressive to the point they can get burnt!
The defensive side I believe Cincy still has some pretty talented holdovers in the front 7 to where I think they will be able to hold up pretty well against the pitt run game, How much you like or believe in Jerkovic making plays on 3rd downs will mean a lot in this game. At one point I thought he was a decent qb at BC, then he got hurt and to my eyes has never been the same guy. Feels like he gotta be damn near 30 by now! I didn’t really see much of their blowout win to see how the ball looked out of his hands? Regardless this week he will be throwing under way more pressure and we have to see.
For my money I am almost positive cincy offense is better than pitt. I think they might even stack up in the front 7 on d. Not sure why they 7.5 dogs? The way I see it at most pitt should get a few points for home field but I’m not convinced at all they the better team, getting +250 seems like a solid play to me.
Briggs and Corleone are studs on the line. Briggs started for virginia at dt as a frosh.....both are better then what fickell has at wisconsin. still have a pace brother on d.......but upfront probably one of better units in big twelve......now outside of that i know they have lot of transfers i'm unsure of quality, including offensive line. I have them pegged as an under team this year.....curious if that 70 point outburst means they are better then i thought on offense
will probably add cincy to my card i agree.......narduzzi is not a good favorite coach as well.
Definitely feels like a big time dog week to me.currently every single play I have this week is a dog and talking over 10 plays.......will be interesting to see post week dog fav ats results but seems imo a very dog centric card
I'd even lean FIIU, shit FIU..........north texas may have the worst defense in america.
There he is!I think ODU is worth a shot. I will try to have more thoughts later and I put some the handicapers thread.
Louisiana's QB play is spotty and they have weak WR room. Their best weapon is RBs and ODU shut down the run vs. VT.
I think the offense hits more big plays that were open against VT.
Hey BAR!There he is!
Hate the matchup but situationally Virginia has to be gold. First home game since that piece of shit stole three lives. Going to honor the victims, will be super emotional. Virginia should play inspired. Like the Marshall thing but on steroids
I haven’t seen anything besides day-to-day and game-time decision, and some hype for the backup (yikes). It is his non-throwing shoulder but still. Backup was awful vs Tennessee backups but it does seem weird to say that we need Muskett lol.I heard Muskett is hurt? Maybe that explains some of the reason they are home dog? I can't believe Tony Muskett is their starting QB. He wasn't bad or anything, just didn't think he was a FBS starting QB at a Power 5 school. Kind of says where Virginia O is I guess, it's L-O-W. But I do like the situation and as stated before, feel that JMU QB situation isn't good either which could hurt them on the road here vs even a bad P5 team. What is the UVA QB situation @VirginiaCavs
Bettors keep taking Miami line lower....ML dogs?
This Miami fan isn't betting on Cristobal. The only coach worth anything in this game is Petrino and I question whether Jimbo will actually give him full control of the offense.Bettors keep taking Miami line lower....ML dogs?

EMU @ Minny: I think the best chance at a big ML dog winning today is Eastern Michigan over Minny. Minny just might be in a letdown spot after a tough-played opening win last week. I have my SDQL trends that support a ML play on EMU but I actually just settled on playing the 1st Half.....but won't be shocked if EMU pulls the outright upset. They are 4-4 SU last 8 games vs. P5 teams including last year's win over AZ. St. so they are no stranger to this stage. Phil Steele says Minny has a deep stable of WR's and a strong armed QB this season but also states EMU has the #1 back seven on defense in the MAC this season....so they might match up well on D as they also are facing a rushing attack that only managed 55yds last week vs. Neb. Not saying EMU will win but I am saying this game looks to me like the best chance of a big dog winning compared to any other dog >500ML this week. Best of luck in what you decide!And how about Duke?! We gotta start finding these BIG ones. A few members been hitting em!!
Hit two 3-teamers with FIU, Rice, & Wazzou winning…paid out ~$156 total. Risked $145 so won a whopping $11 bucks on the day. Helluva day of football though! Still down overall from last week we’ll see what week 3 brings.
