20 Dime - Texas A&M over Texas Tech.
A coaching move by a Mike Sherman looks like it may pay dividends. He finally starting splitting the QB duties by removing the ineffective Johnson and giving Tannehill some snaps. Tech on the other hand is just not a good football team right now either.
As of post A&M is a 7.5 point favorite. If you get 7 1/2 you should buy down the 1/2 point to 7 and you really should consider buying the full point down to 6 1/2 to take full advantage.
10 Dime - UCLA plus the points over Arizona.
The last time we saw the Bruins they were getting killed by the Ducks on national Television and you had Arizona soundly beating the Huskies of Washington. This the kind of game that produces the line value that we are looking for. The positive EV is there in this game.
AZ starting QB Nick Foles will not be playing this week as well. His backup has very little experience on the road. Also, they have Stanford up next week so look ahead alert is definitely in play here.
Hard to believe that we may get double digits here. Wait on this one to try and get the best possible line as I see it going up from current 9.5. If for some reason it doesn't get to the 10 then buy the half point up to get the double digits.
5 Dime - Hawaii over Idaho.
Hawaii is a very quiet 7-1 ATS. Somehow the oddsmaker has not yet caught up with them. Idaho visits the big island this weekend and don't be fooled by their numbers. Especially their offensive numbers. They have played a lot of weak teams and have buffed up their numbers against them. Defensively they are a different story. The game I remember the most is the amount of yards and plays they gave up against LA TCH. In that game they had 96 plays run against their defense and almost 700 yards! Now they get Hawaii who are really clicking on all cylinders. They beat the same Tech team by a 41-21 score and that was also at home.
