my card today:
North Carolina -6 medium 2u. Think Brissett can trade for awhile but Heels offense woke up last week in aroused effort vs. hated Duke. At home today, won't hesistate to lay 6. I'll be against NC State one more time (the bowl) most likely, as well. They are the worst team that will be in a bowl game, MAC and Sun Belt teams included.
Indiana -3 even medium. This game is likely to go down even further this morning, but I won't have time to scramble out and get the number later. The Gold Sheet says it best here: 'Purdue's defense is yielding 5.1 ypc & 251 ypg RUSHING its last 5 games. Indiana has one of the best RBs in the country in jr. Coleman, who's gained 525 yds. the last 2 games (1906 YR, 7.9 ypc TY). Boilers 1-7 SU last 8 on road, so Old Oaken Bucket stays in Bloomington.'
UAB -3.5 -105 medium. Made this one higher, although it troubles me that I appear to have some sharp opposition. Revenge from 62-27 shocker last year to end season and bowl eligibility for revamped U-ab should be enough to get them up for this one after near-miss against Marshall last week.
Brigham Young +3.5 small. Just taking a number here; Cal has the bowl eligibility carrot but should BYU bother to show up in this meaningless game, they should comfortably win.
Watching for Florida State to get to 7 and below and I'll consider a lay in a game I made 11.
Louisiana Monroe +16 medium 2u. Ga Southern a chance to clinch the outright Sun Belt crown, and they should do it, but it won't come easy against a ULM squad that boasts a strong-armed senior QB (Thomas) that should cause problems for a GaSo defense that's worse than its numbers (gets masked because offense gobbles up yards, chews up clock and stays on the field).
South Carolina +7 -120 medium. If it gets to 7 flat, tack on another 1/2 u for a med to big play. Senior Dylan Thompson should have a lot of fun against a Clempson secondary that has just five interceptions against I-A foes this year. Sakerlina has won and covered five straight in the series, and Spurrier is in Dabo's head at this point, much like Belichick was to Manning 10-12 years ago in that rivalry. It could change, but I'm not banking on it today, especially with an inflated spread. Who is to say Watson is the answer today at QB for Clempson? He's been banged up for weeks and sure ain't 100 percent going into this Palmetto State battle. An easy take.
Louisville -12.5 real big, so far up to 5 units. Might go for 6 or 7 if i can lay 11 and would be one of the biggest college plays of the year, top 2 or 3 for sure. Simply put, Kentucky stinks. The prices have yet to catch onto just how outclassed they were in each of the final four SEC losses. UK's defense has given up 40 or more in four of last five, all losses, while Cardinal D yielding less than 19 ppg and has picked off 22 (!) passes this season. They're good for at least a couple more today, and Petrino has had his way with UK repeatedly in his first tenure at U of L. An easy lay at the pizza palace. Hide the women & children.
Troy State +10 small. Just taking a price here, especially because it's easy to root for classy 24-year head coach Larry Blakeney in his last game roaming the Troy State sidelines. The Troyans had a tough schedule through the end of October, so not sure if this improvement in November is a product of the schedule or that things finally started to click. Taking DD's at home, I'll bank on it being some of the latter, and root for the refs to give Blakeney some love in his curtain call.
GL to everyone; back with halftime plays later...
