Nice work CK, bad luck on the A&M total with the two costly red zone TO's. I was very impressed with Kellen Mond, he continues to improve. BOL this week.
 
I’ve got a number on the total where I’m comfortable being in position for middle on this game, already have Under 59:

Notre Dame/Louisville Over 54 -108 (1 unit)

Hate to see you on Wake. Watched Rice v. Army beginning to end and like what Bloomgren is doing in Houston, to the extent that he can. Owls gave Army all it could handle.

Great job as usual!

If you get a second can you comment on Army vs Michigan? I got some down on Army +24.5 strictly bc I thought the number was a little inflated (now 22.5 available).

I’m behind this week so all I have time to say is that I agree with that side. I would have bet +24.5 as well. Nice work!

I did as well and was on rice but don’t you think that was matchup based in rice pass d their biggest weakness? Not to mention having all summer to prepare for option makes it much easier to stop imo.. im still skeptical how they look against a team who throws the ball. Army had guys wide open a few times when throwing (of course that doesn’t mean much since they were selling out against option).

People say that, but the numbers say otherwise. GT and the military acadmies have not done worse in season openers, bowls, and games following an open date for the opponent.
 
great number on stanford/ usc over. stanford backup qb davis didn't have great numbers because they had that on lock down- conservative mode, but i liked what i saw. i really don't think there's a drop off from costello if he's out
 
I didn't get a ton of visual from either USC or Stanford on Saturday but can someone give me a reason why USC is a FG favorite with their backup QB? Is there not much a drop from Daniels? Is the concern more over Stanford? I had to look somewhere else to find that line because it really surprises me that is the line.

Also, you like the under in MSU (which always seems smart) but do you like or see any value in WMU getting the points?

Thanks.

Stanford had their QB knock out of the game as well.
 
It didnt look good. He got buried by a 300lb lineman. I live in the bay area and heard there isnt much of a drop off from Costello to the backup Davis. Their total is only 45. I'd like to know Crimsons thoughts on his overs. There is a history of this game being very high scoring when they play in LA.

Hate to be the guy to ask question like this but how you feel about AM at the current number catching 17.5?
 
Hey guys - I know I said I would respond tonight, but I'm zapped. Just wrote up blurbs on every week one game and it was a fool's errand. Will get to everything in AM with a pot of coffee.

Ya Rice’s rush defense was good last year, so I think I just missed on their ability to defend the option. My non scientific opinion is that Texas teams don’t see the option ever, so they should struggle more. Not the case last week. They go from the slowest paced team that all they do is run to the fastest paced team that likes to run, but that also has a tank at QB with a ton of skillful pass catchers. Rice was amongst the worst pass defenses in CFB last year, so I’m banking on that being exploited. I believe Wake should score 40+

GL CK.
Have you considered a play on OR this week?
Click to expand...
I haven’t. I didn’t spend much time on that game. Situationally, I could see it being a flat spot for them after the big week one game and loss at the end. Not a great spot for big favs.

I assume you will like the WF TT over once available? Do you have a best/favorite play ? Any 3 or 3.5 unit bets possible this week? Thanks :)
Click to expand...
Yes, assuming it’s 37 or 38, that seems like a good play. I think they score in 40s. I can’t anticipate what the market will do over the next few days, so I can’t say what plays for certain I will have. It would be unusual for me to make a big bet like that this far removed from open. My plays are weighted above, so that will tell you my confidence level.

I don’t care too much who is at QB for them. I prefer KJC, due to his experience, but Mills was a ballyhooed recruit who has good tools. Sounds like KJC should be able to go, based on a blurb I read yesterday. They will be without their NFL OT Walker Little, which I don’t love.

There is a considerable drop off from Daniels to Slovis, imo. I’m not a recruiting apologist, but for perspective, Daniels left HS after junior year to play ball at USC after being offered by every team in nation. Slovis didn’t have a single big offer after his junior year. I’m not saying that makes him worse, but it helps illustrate a point of where they could be in their developments. It was a bad side and total at open, as the market has since backed.

On WMU, not a ton of interest. Implied is 31-15. If WMU scores 15, that will be pretty darn impressive. Dating back to last season, Sparty has kept six of their last seven opponents under 15 points. So now a MAC outfit gonna crack em? I think if you like WMU, then it makes sense to bet the under. The okay would be based on shorting Mich St offense as big fav, I’d guess, which makes more sense to just go under, IMO.

Hoping the Tulsa total keeps crashing and we cross the magic 10pt line so I can bet the over and lock in a winner

Uncanny stuff. Career win % prob 15 lower when I beat close by 10+ than a standard bet where I don’t!

Was reading that he busted his chin. Surely, he has to pass a concussion protocol. Otherwise, they would have stitched him up and sent him back out to play.

“Sources” on twitter yesterday believe he will play. I tend to agree. Head injury is but a flesh wound. Now go out there and entertain me, none of this mamby pamby stuff! :)

Good info. I’m not gonna overcompicate this one. There are very few instances when a CFB total should be in the low 40’s and this is not one of them. USC now runs an air raid and has a competent play caller, unlike the years with Tee Martin. Perhaps it turns into a massive struggle with two backup QBs going at it, but I’m willing to assume that risk. I think we are going to see a lot of snaps in this game, and we just saw a rebuilt Fresno offense give USC all they could handle. On the other side, there is a chance that northwesterns offense could be amongst the worst in P5 this year, so I believe that scoreline needs to be looked at with an asterisks.

Would probably be a pass for me. That is close to what it should be. I’ve got something else in mind for the game, will post it if it materializes.

I'd just beware the short-week lookahead. The Deacs play UNC on Friday, and the Tar Heels walloped them 50-14 last time they played.

Great info! I was wondering if you could please offer a brief tidbit of advice if you get a spare minute.. my book isn't quite as punctual releasing O/U totals; Wake/Rice Over 59 was finally released earlier today. Since it is obviously 3.5 points higher than what you wagered at 1.5 units, would you recommend placing (an albeit) smaller wager on that over? Or recommend avoiding it all together since it is at 59 now? Thanks!
