Most of these smaller unit total plays are on slim to none baseline total value, where other factors leaned it one way or the other into a play.
That's pretty much it for the initial rush. Well, I certainly don't have as many plays as last week, anyway, lol. Lines much tighter overall.

Yeah, closest thing to it is the WSU @ ORST Under, and that's assuming that the QB plays 3-4 points worse than Halliday, though he did a good job when he came in last week. WSU Unders are a crapshoot, obviously, as they're a sloppy team that gives up at least one cheap touchdown a game. I had the Under in the CAL @ ORST game last week, and the first quarter ended at 3-0. The rest of the quarters averaged 24 points after that, though, unfortunately, lol. WSU has a slightly better defense, and a much worse offense than CAL (in that WSU is one-dimensional, where CAL also has a running game), so as long as there isn't more than one cheap score, I really like this one to play out to WSU 20 -- ORST 31.
Bowling Green is probably the worst team in FBS with a winning record this year. They've faced the easiest schedule of pass defenses of any team in the country, and even though they gained yards against the bad teams, their passing game is one of the worst in football by my ratings. Good defenses can limit their success, which is exactly what Akron will do tonight. Meanwhile, their defense is still putrid, also a bottom 25 squad.
The MAC is frequently unpredictable, but Akron is such a better team here, and playing at home. I'll be very surprised if they don't get the double digit win tonight.

Unless the fix is in I'm comfortable with my positions, lol. Late action doesn't mean a heckuva' lot. Squares getting their first bets in, sharps getting their buy-backs in. If BGSU was really the sharp side they would've been bet early and often when the lines were widely released and limits were raised, the opposite of which happened.
This game has been a comedy of errors from the coaches on down to the players. Akron foolishly ends up with no time-outs, and BGSU obliges by passing on 3rd and long anyway, lol, and then the Akron return man nullifies what would have been a nice return by waving his arms, lol.
Why to God did they run it with 22 seconds left? Oh my God, their coach is braindead, unreal.

Sure, none of the breaks have gone Akron's way and the weather has made them drop a billion balls, but they're still not winning at the line of scrimmage, by and large, so the play was not a good one, as far as I'm concerned now. Oh well, starting the week in the hole, all will be forgotten (mostly) by tomorrow, lol.
