The Sports Cruncher's Week #8 NCAA Football Thread

[sjcolumbus]

Well we are 0-1 on your early plays for the week

let me know what goes on for your 2nd half under or over in utah..

 

[sonnycam]

thanks for the 2h Under. I needed that.

 

[sjcolumbus]

Under or Over 24 for second half....both Defenses playing well....you see this going over that?

 

[thecruncher]

All stats point to a second half Under UTAH @ ORST, but I've missed betting it at every better opportunity, so not going to do it now, lol. Bet the Under though, you should, I think it has value, hehe.

If you get 24 Under for sure, I'm passing on 23.5

 

[sjcolumbus]

setting me up for disaster are ya? lmao

Ha, I've only been betting this game for entertainment purposes. When both teams combine for less than 200 yards first half, the Under is usually a solid play. I was irked that ORST got that last turnover and FG, I was probably going to bet them 2nd half to hedge out.

Even as a big Buckeyes fan,
I see tons of Value on Rutgers+21.5
Any new injuries for this game that you heard about Cruncher?

Nothing new that I'm aware of. Their run game has gone down a bit since losing Paul James. Yeah, I'm so tempted to to grab another unit of Rutgers at +21.5. I have the one unit at +19.5, I'm baffled as to why the line has gone up. Rutgers should hang with the Buckeyes and make this a game, according to my stats. Rutgers has played well in all three games against quality opponents this year. Three touchdowns plus is huge against a quality team.

 

[thecruncher]

Yeah, adding another half unit on Rutgers +21.5.

Like the Rutgers pick, I see an Ohio St 10 to 17 pt win........

 

[Bad_Cat]

LOL 40 of the 52 points scored was in the 2/H. If you have a game play please don't make a 2/H play and certainly don't recommend it.

 

[MoneyMiller]

Lets cash in on those Scarlet Knights my man,
Bol with your card Sat.

 

[fballgenius]

Let me join the others in thanking you for sharing your information. I should have followed you on Pitt. I was on the other side. You caught the gist when you stated that VT never committed to the running game (due to depleted rb corp). Good luck with your action.

2 defensive starters are out for Houston tonight. They sit at -7. I liked them a lot before but am a bit unsure now. What do you think?

Been working on power ratings. This is the first time I've posted them. A lot goes into the rating; offense and defense stats, strength of schedule, median margin of victory and win%, mainly.

I don't think anyone has asked yet. So I'm wondering do you add +3 for the home team like everyone else does. For example I use
Gridiron gold power ratings when they are current and updated. Have you ever used them. Just curious. Because I've made a fortune with there ratings in only NCAA football and a even bigger fortune with there NCAA basketball power ratings. Not bragging just doesn't hurt to ask if you have heard of them.

 

[sunshine11]

Got the first 2 pages wrote down again. Lol. It worked well last week!
Good luck this week.

 

[Bad_Cat]

I add 3.5 for the home side in College football.

 

[sunshine11]

I know all home fields aren't the same. Lol SMU -3 HVA Notre Dame -5 HVA

 

[sunshine11]

Ooops HFA= home field advantage
