Don't like the line moving down for LSU........
Any thoughts / ideas???? Worries / concerns???
Some friendly advice: You can't bet based on hunches.
I believe handicapping is stages of development. Everyone starts with betting the easy heavy faves, then they start betting on hunches, then the underdogs, then they start using systems and trends, then they start reading line movement and betting based on that, then they go contrarian, etc, etc and it gets to the point when they have no idea what they are doing anymore, they overthink things.
It's all gimmicks, and in my opinion, can't lead to consistent winning.
All of those things can be used as tools to determine how big or small to play something, but no single one should steer you completely away from a play.
Last week you had Boise State staring us in the face, and I couldn't find any reason to take Fresno. I took Boise, laid the points on the road and won on a "suspicious" line. Money's in the bank now.
I also laid the points on Miami -5, last week. This week I took the dog, South Carolina. Suspicious, not suspicious, home underdog, road favorite, running dog, running favorite, some lines move in your favor, some don't.
Just win baby.
1* Washington Huskies + 9 -110
Emotional home win now travels on the road keeps this play small. But that is the only reason.
Washington was a team and program searching for a big win. They need things to build off of as they turn this program around. Sarkisian wasn't hired to beat USC, he was hired to win the Pac-10.
You usually see a team off a big win like that favored the next week or a small underdog. But not a huge underdog like this.
The win vs. USC was no fluke - this team battled LSU just as hard. They smoked Udaho.
If they lose this game that win vs. USC means little. They need to show consistency, come out and fight in this game. Getting 9 points is too many with Jake Locker at QB and the former condoms on the sideline. They know how tough Stanford can be.
Don't be surprised to see these guys come out and avoid the let down.
Stanford 31
