Played a few others at greek and betphoenix yesterday, but at different lines so not posting them here as lines are gone and they are smaller plays.
Here is the large stuff Ive bet this morning at cris/bookmaker..."where the line originates".
all plays below played at cris/bookmaker.com. will be more later today and this week.
5* NC ST -3
5* UTAH ST +22.5
5* N. TEXAS +20
5* OHIO U +5 (WRONG TEAM IS FAVORED).
5* MINNY -5.5
5* ILLINOIS -6
8* SAN JOSE +36
4* IDAHO +6
4* MTSU +21
6* UAB -3 -120
edit***ADD
4* TEX AM -12.5
Illinois-6. What happened to the opportunity to jump on it when it was -2 1/2 and -3? Obviously we loaded up on the Illini, and as long as you can give less than 7, you should be good.
Utah State -22 1/2is way too much of a risk. I do not like wagering on losers who are on the road, and have covered once in the past 6 years, especially when they are trying a new offense. Pass.
North Texas +20. No offense but I have NEVER seen this line that high. If you got it, more power to you. You got a very good price on a very poor team. They do return some talent, but it is not very good. Ball State is no bargain package either. I think you may have a winner here but it is not worth the risk to us. Pass.
Middle Tennessee -21. We like Middle Tennessee in this situation. The fact that they return 17 starters certainly does not hurt them, though they must find a new QB. There is no question that Clemson has much better overall talent, but what we like is the fact that Clemson has to go to Ga. Tech 5 days after this game, and are certainly not going to risk any injuries if this game gets out of hand. A 17 point lead in the 4th Quarter would be "out of hand" at that point. We also like MTSU's 6-1 record ATS as dogs in Game 1, not to mention their 5-1 record as a non-con dog of less than 28. This is definately on our radar, as we have not made all of our picks yet. Good wager here.
Ohio +5. If their offense can open it up, and IF they can come up with something that resembles a defense, they may be able to win more than 4 games. Too many "if's" here. Once again, UConn is no bargain package, but they do have a very good trio of LB's which is about the best thing you can say for either one of these teams. Pass.
Minnesota -5 1/2. Minny will do a lot of running, and and some speed at defense. Syracuse should be a bit more effective on offense, but they need a lot more. Our number on this game was -8, so it was not quite enough to pull the trigger, but this should be a solkid wager.
San Jose +36. Bet against USC at your own peril. They convered both of their games that they were favored by over 35 last year. I do not wager on USC games, so this is a pass for me.
Idaho +6. Again, this is a game that we almost pulled the trigger on, but we want 7 1/2 or more. While Idaho does return some talent in the skilled positions, their defense is still terrible, and that is being kind. New Mexico State does not have the talent to matchup to Idaho, but we are not talking much here, and Idaho has not been a coering machine on the road,going 4-8 in the past two years. Pass, for now.
UAB -3. Everyone loves the fact that UAB has 11 starters back on offense. Unfortunately, none of that talent is very good. UAB's defense wasnot ery good either, but improved near the end of the season last year. Rice lost a trememdous amount on offense, and returns 8 starters on another poor defense. Their biggest advantage is in the coaching department. This game opened up at even, and that is what it should be played at. Pass.
I am glad to see that we have not bumped heads on any wager. That tells me that our computer is doing it's job. While we certainly will not agree on every wager, because my group wagers a lot more money on a lot less games, it is important for us to compare notes with other bettors who are suppose to know what they are doing, and you seem to fit that model, according to what some have said in here. Good Luck in your wagering sir.
