Feel like the capping was much better last week. One of the things I've liked the most since beginning to post here at The RX is reading some of the other posters who like to contribute more content than I do. Some of it is interesting to read. This week another poster decided to release some really early plays too and it was insightful to see how we noted some of the same lines, although we'll be on opposite sides.
Getting after it early this week:
#304 Jacksonville St. +7.5 (-120) I give them a legitimate shot to win this game SU and will have a ML wager as well.
#314 Marshall +4 My numbers keep putting me on Marshall. This will be a strange, unfamiliar road trip for JMU and Marshall is a difficult place to play. JMU has played well but in their 3 road victories they've won by 1, 2, & 7 points and in terms of total yardage were even, -31, and +12. The Marshall defense is better than it's shown and they have the superior ground game. Give me the running home dog with a fired up, couch burning, home crowd excited for the National TV spotlight on a Thursday.
#395 Mississippi St. +7.5 (-120)
#395 Miss. St./Arkansas over 50 Catching Arkansas off a physical, close loss to Alabama and off 5 consecutive tightly contested games, they can't wait to get to their bye week next week. Miss. St. is off their bye and hopefully will have some injured players back and time to create a defensive gameplay that helps their beleaguered defense some. Should be some points scored in this one, with back-n-forth offensive successes.
#375 Colorado St. +7.5 (-120)
#375 Colorado St./UNLV over 60.5 Colorado St. has played much better since their QB switch and will bring an offense here that can match UNLV's. The Rebels, outside of Michigan, have played vs some of the weakest offenses in the country and the Rams WILL be able to both play up-tempo with them and match their scoring ability. Rams catch UNLV off a rivalry game and with one of the weakest home field advantages in the NCAA. Catching more than a TD here is important and both of these teams should get into the mid-30's. I made the total 63.4 and would have considered playing over that number.
#341 Duke +14 I think this number is going to slip though the +14 and this will be a wagering "sharps vs squares" type game.
