[bigwillokc]

No it was a few years ago. Their running back "Scooter" McDougall did an interview about it.

No, no i think this hapened a few years back...maybe early-to-mid 2000's...

lost last week on the buffs, staying out of this one :toast:

 

[hellah10]

Why though? IMO the Glass Bowl provides very little, if any homefield advantage...

historically, the big namers that have come here have lost - byron leftwich, drew brees, larry fitzgerald, ron johnson... toledo plays well at home and they do have a good team this year. People talk about their inability to stop the run.. but they havent been able to stop the run since 2000 when Gary Pinkel was coaching. Alot of us didnt think Erik Page was gonna play this season... but he put on a show last week against Purdue, and he's living up to his hype.

good luck with whatever side you go with...

Teams make big improvements from Week 1 to week 2 and Colorado just came out last week terrible. They showed some life in the second half and think they carry that over to this game. If Colorado pulls off the win last week this line could be -7/-9. I also think they bounce back and out muscle Toledo.

Colorado 31-20

Hi wags!!
I'm with Colorado Buffaloes -3 (-119) tonight, yesterday we won with Clemson +5.

Good Luck everyone!!

That seems pretty accurate...but I am curious as to what that number is on weekday/night plays...I am willing to bet there is a sizable difference...it seemed like road faves got smoked last year....is that correct or no?

A little more in favor of the home dogs, but still very close to 50 percent. I ran a quick search from 2000 on limited to DI vs. DI playing on days other than Saturday and came up with a 91-102-6 tally. Not enough of a statistical bias to base any sort of betting rule-of-thumb on.

Cool...thanks buddy I appreciate your research...

I am leaning towards Toledo....but may just be better off to stay away...I gotta think Colorado HAS to be better then they were last week, right? And although Toledo is improved IMO, not sure...

If the line ever drops to CU -3, I'm probably going to play on the Buffs. I really expect a bounce-back from them, but I've been bitten in the ass on those angles before (I'm looking at you, Michigan after App State two years ago).

Im all over Colorado.

 

[kidman232]

Thats a pretty bold play to say they are going to run the ball the whole game and still go for the over......good luck

purdue ran for well over 300 yards and scored 50+ on them. with first downs stopping the clock, a defensive prone to big rushing plays against them is just the same as passes.

Fellas,

Just did a quick survey of the leaderboard (ncaaf contest)on covers/wagerline. 7 of 10 are taking both Colorado and the under. 2 did not pick a side or total yet, 1 just took toledo.

Top 4 are a combined 223-84-6 or 71% winners.

Colorado was a 10 point fav over Colorado St, so I'm thinking they just played like shit against their rival and come out firing on all cylinders today. JMHO

Its hard to go against guys who seem to be dialed in (at least right now)

 

[bigdaveyt]

RB Morgan Williams for Toledo is suspended tonight.

 

[bigwillokc]

For shaving points??? LOL

 

[bigwillokc]

He's not even on their depth chart?

 

[bigwillokc]

he's listed as #2 RB on preseason chart. Not on the one from sept. 8, must have already known about the suspension

 

[bigdaveyt]

He's not even on their depth chart?

My fault, he was listed as suspended 9/3 which was before the season, so you are right, he has been gone. Sorry.

 

[bigwillokc]

yeah i was looking at the toledo depth chart dated 9/8....they must have taken him off already. he was a 1,000 yard rusher last season, that could hurt a little

 

[bigwillokc]

2008 played in 12 games, started 4. 169 carries for 1,010 yards, 6.0 yards per carry

 

[ou_guy]

got toledo +4...gl

 

[Twisted]

Have Rockets +4 too, not impressed at all with Colorado wouldnt surprise me if they lose outright, should be fun to watch GL

:toast:
