Saturday 9/6

Update: Today sucked again. I'll wait to see what the other people on RMMB came up with, but I would have to imagine they, along with Vegas, took it on the chin. I am definitely going to be scaling back the NFL plays tomorrow, which will probably go undefeated because I am playing tentative now.

I am unhappy with some of the late action I am seeing this morning. It's probably still going to be an above average card, but it won't be the spectacular one I was envisioning as late as last night. As I mentioned yesterday, the picks today will come in shifts. I'll just be updating this post throughout the day.

Earlies

Temple +6.5 -107 3x
Dr. Bob is my guess as to why this looks a bit public this morning.

San Jose State +27 -102 2x
I really didn't see much action on this game either way today, but everyone was backing Nebraska earlier in the week.

Tweeners

Cincinnati +22.5 -103 3x
Didn't you see the way OU dominated the Mocs last week? How can I be on the Bearcats?

Central Michigan +24 -103 2x
This was nearly a non-play. This was one of the games that I talked about on Tuesday as possibly being a 5xer. A lot of late action is going on the Chips, but I am sticking with my original feeling on the line.

East Carolina +7 -105 2x
The Pirates still aren't getting any respect, even after upsetting VoTech last week. WVU scares me, because I've faded them so much over the last 2 years only to get my ass burnt. Hopefully, Bill Stewart isn't Rich Rodriguez.

New Mexico ML +110 1x
Almost no action on the boards for this game, but this is based on principle. WAC teams should be getting a lot more than 2.5 against a traditional Big XII power.

Nightcaps

Duke +6 -107 1x
This was another one of those games that I had labeled higher before today. Too much Duke action to make it very large.

Louisiana-Monroe +14 -109 1x
See remarks about New Mexico and substitute in Sun Belt and SEC.

Louisiana Tech +22 -105 5x
Something about these shitty Louisiana schools has me excited tonight. Also, everyone on the boards is on Kansas, which is shouldn't be surprising considering how well they played last year. I guess everyone forgot that they lost their two best players to the NFL Draft.

Houston +15 -105 4x
"Dood! Did you see how much Homo State ran it up on Wazzu last week! They are a lock this week, bro!!!1!11!!!"

Nevada +10.5 -105 3x
I thought Texas Tech was supposed to be a potential Top 10 team this year? Then why are they only laying 10.5 to a WAC school?

UTEP +26 -102 2x
Texas is another of those schools that is high on tradition but low (for them) on talent.

That's it for tonight. I'll be back tomorrow around noon with the NFL plays. Good luck.
