Mastertv...The problem I have with the game is my numbers have Cincy winning by 12. But this is a good angle for Marshall playing at home on weekday game with Cincy having their first conference game on board. So i'm in kind of a quandary with this play. I actually think the best play for this game is the OVER 48..The reason I like the over is both of these teams are giving up well over 400 yards per game on defense. Marshall is giving up about 475. But the Akron team that Cincy played last week is actually a statistically better defense that only gives up about 395 ypg. So that tells me that Cincy will probably have more success on offense in this game than last week despite using a backup QB. Cincy's strength on offense is their passing game. They average 267 a game..But Marshall's weakness is their pass defense where they give up almost 300 ypg. Cincy's weakness is also their pass defense. And passing is where Marshall is statistically better..Marshall hasn't averaged many yards on offense this year. But keep in mind they've played some very good defenses in WV and Wisconsin to bring down their numbers..Against a Southern Miss defense that is statistically identical to Cincy's, Marshall rolled up 463 yards..And that was on the road..And despite the 17-15 Cincy win last week over Akron, they still totaled 322 passing yards with a backup QB. The biggest thing that killed Cincy in that game was penalties and turnovers.. And like I said, Akron has statistically a better defense than marshall. I expect both teams to put up close to 400 yards of offense a piece tonight. And for the game to go over..i'll probably put a one unit play down on the over 48...Good luck.

If you just blindly played the over on games involving CUSA teams you would be 25-14 this year, that isn't all that bad, the defense in CUSA is.

Auburn (-3 bought the .5) over Vandy ***

I've pretty much already given the reason for this play in my answer to Delta above earlier today..But the key number for me in this game is 3. So I bought the half a point. If the line should get down to an even 3 I would consider this one for a Best Bet play..But as it stands it's a medium play for me. Auburn is a very good cover team against short lines of a FG or less. In my opinion they are probably 2 TD's better than Vandy..But since the game is played at Vandy, the score may not reflect it.

I like the Auburn pick. With the ESPN crew in town for the first time and a Top 25 ranking, Vandy finds itself in an unfamiliar spot with added pressure to perform, so I don't see the home field as an advantage for them.

Man. I liked OU. I am having second thoughts now.

How do you usually fair wagering with games involving OU? How do you do when betting against them?

Silver...I got it several hours ago..Do you have a 5DIMES account? I noticed you can still get it there at 3.5. You might want to wait on the game..It's been going up and down between 3.5 and 4 all day in all of the books.

I usually fare pretty well in betting OU games..To tell you the truth I would lay odds that my winning percentage is higher when I bet against OU than when I bet for them. I feel like this is a good spot for Baylor..OU is capable of putting the hammer down on this team and winning by 35...But I don't think it's going to happen here. I think OU is going to have other things on their minds coming into this game and won't be 100% focused here. But like I said here before, I don't like the 24 number now..I liked it much better when I had it at 27. 4 TD's is usually the key number for me when playing big home dogs.

Though probable, fantasy owners should be wary of the Navy quarterback's nagging hamstsring issue. I'd make him prove it to me this week, then perhaps jump back on his bandwagon.​

The QB situation is the only problem that I'm having with Navy. They are the running dogs in this game..But I have a feeling they're going to need a healthy Kaipo to cover the spread, which keeps going down. AF is due for a win in this series..Haven't they lost the last 4 or 5 games in a row?

No, 5D Is One I Missed

For me right now I have enough outs. @ my age I have a hard time remembering to wear shoes when I go out. I played Baylor @ 27, it's 24- now if by some miracle it goes 24 & under, I'd middle. Not a play I'm completely successful with most of the time. I like the card today, not always so. My 2 biggest Tulsa 16 & VT 27-. I waited too long on Iowa, but bought it to 7, just 10% so not too bad. Don't know how you feel, but in my over 50 yrs of doing this I WILL NOT get beat by the hook. Some of the young guys have math formulas saying it's a bad play, but time & time it's made me more $$ than it's cost. And I've kept track every yr. BOL as usual my friend. W or L you're always a class act. Would love to have a session w/you LT & Pags, fun & BS.:thumbsup:

On Auburn the scoring averages make it dangerous to take. Vandy has outscored their average by 12 points. You have the best turn over differential in the country going against a great defense in Auburn. The total is to low to take either way but I would expect this to be a low scoring game and therefore would hate giving points to a home dog. Maybe shave this play? BOL.. At -3 it is some what playable but I only see -4 which my as well be 6 or 7.
