I have one unit on NT+17.5 and a quarter unit on the ML.

I have never bet on a QB where his Dad was the coach.
Ya know they are talking some football at the dinner table.
That is a strong bond!

From everything you write, it really feels like it should be a 3 pt spread. You have me convinced.

Solid reasoning NoBS. I would just be cautious on this play (for what thats worth, not a lot I know.) Let me play a bit of devil's advocate:

I will be interested to see how young Dodge fares and if he's able to avoid INTs. After all, playing devil's advocate, I would ask who has he got to throw to? And yes, he was a stud in Texas HS and thats saying something, but that was over a year ago and he's since rehabbed from an injury. Also, Big Dodge's system is from his high school days, right? Hasn't worked out too well thusfar, that's for sure.

Also, BSU has a guy named Miquayle Lewis carrying the pigskin who ain't bad. If he gets into that NTU secondary too often it will be trouble. Also, if he has a good game, he could really cut NT's time-of-possession.

But, I can't argue with your logic on the points. It does seem like way too many. It should be around 2 TDs tops - and that's with Lewis running a good game and NT losing the TO battle.

BOL with this one.

Thanks for all the replies everyone, and GL to you all too.

Number is down to 16 1/2, but I got all I am taking at 17 1/2.

Leisure, I assume you are kidding. Dont see how anyone could lay 17 1/2 here.

Like others have said, this has to be NORTH TEXAS or a no play.

The best I see on the ML is +600, so F*K that. I wanted more like +1000 on a 17 1/2 point dog.

Well now its just wait and see, 3 more days. I love this play a lot.

Thanks sol.

Ball State never lead by even 1 point in the entire game. Opened as 21 1/2 point favorite.
