upgrade:
NORTH TEXAS +17.5 is a lean now.
I just didn't expect Rice to have over 70% of bets on them all week long. Home teams ranked 25-55 places better, laying 10-21 pts are rarely getting that kind of public support. If getting anything over 60% of public support they are 1-10-1 ATS year-to-date. Some notable non covers from that group are: Pittsburgh losing at home as 14 pts fave over BG, Wyoming beating Ohio by 1 as 14 pts favorite, Minnesota barely edging NIU by 4 on the last minute TD as 10 pts favorite, and so on.
The total of 68.5 with majority of UNDER bets also goes in NTX favor. Their only few ATS wins since the start of the last season came with high totals and not many people on the OVER.
