What a week last time out with ML Dogs hitting left and right!!

We have slowly seen an increase each week, and last week was when we really started seeing the upsets flow!

Arizona
New Mexico
Georgia Tech
Delaware
West Virginia
Bowling Green
MTSU
So Miss
OLD DOMINATION!!
Texas AM
Vandy
Utah State
Stanford

We had a perfect mix of small and medium-sized dogs from the Power 4, to the MAC, to the Sun Belt!

What do we have on tap for this week? More conference games on tap and the lines are starting to stiffen up a bit.

Let us know what you are seeing for week #4...
 
Terps jump out at first glance.

Also, Tulsa isn't good but it's OSU so it's at least worth digging into.
 
Talk to me about ECU. I haven't seen a snap from them but BYU going cross country has me looking at ECU. I know BYU is coming off of a bye as well.

Coming back to the mountains to face Colorado next week too.

Down the line, they'll have consecutive games vs Utah and Iowa State in mid October.

Back to your question -- BYU off a bye week -- how do that fare historically ?

I'm not sure.

Here's a snippet I found about ECU...

No clue why Illinois line moving in on 7? Something seems screwed up bout that! Not a huge Illinois fan but never been a huge Indy buyer. I’ll almost certainly dabble with this ml.

Kinda scared bout Arnold holding up when I assume Venables will take his legs away but just dunno how to not take the +7. I don’t see why they couldn’t pull off the upset but getting the points in what I think a defensive battle makes too much sense to me.

I guess I’ve kinda turned into a pussy cause I much rather have the points and kick myself after but Tulane gettin more than 10 must but I doubt I’ll play the ml.

I couod prob be talked into Memphis but think over or props might make more sense. Like both qbs.

Smaller dogs Ohio, Nebraska, nc st maybe?

Ohio just an sos vs perception play, I like unlv to an extent but not here.

Can Nebraska stop the run? That my biggest concern but I do trust the coach/qb combo.

I despise nc st coach but after seeing way too much of Duke this year I struggle to believe they should be favs.
 
Don’t see anyone on them (a few “pros” on Duke), but I can’t see why NC State is catching 3 and a hook from Duke. What have the Devils shown to warrant this? They played Illinois tough for a half and then got run out of their own building. Last week, they open as a short dog at Tulane, close as a road fave and lose to Tulane.
CJ Bailey has proven to be a fairly reliable QB and Hollywood Smothers (on my all name team) is legit good.
I’ll gladly take the Pack to go to Durham and come away with a Dub. Thoughts?

I never thought about it but you may be correct.
