WEEK 6 BETS; WEDNESDAY & FRIDAY GAMES

 WEEK 6 BETS



Betting Info as of 10/5 per Bovada; lines are listed with Home Teams

All Times are Eastern

Wednesday, Oct 5th

SMU @ UCF (-3)

7:00 PM


This game was rescheduled due to Hurricane Ian. Originally supposed to be played in Week 5, SMU visits Orlando for a solid AAC game with UCF. The offenses should be impressive and high scoring would not be shocking in the slightest. UCF has struggled to move the ball via the pass at times but is still a solid ground team. SMU can score through the air with ease. The Mustangs have really only been slowed by former coach Sonny Dykes so far in 2022. UFC is good enough to be more than a field goal favorite at home in a conference matchup. The play: UCF-3 (1 unit)

Friday, Oct 7th


Nebraska @ Rutgers (+3)

7:00 PM


Nebraska is tough to figure out at the moment. Wildly missed expectations, an interim coach, and some all time program worst losses have marred 2022 and the year is not even half over. Meanwhile, Rutgers has improved relatively to its last several seasons. Greg Schiano is not the best coach but is not the worst. Nebraska has the raw talent to roll Rutgers, but the Scarlet Knights have shown enough life this year to compete with a down and out Huskers team. The play: Rutgers+3 (1 unit)


Houston @ Memphis (-3)

7:30 PM


Breaks have been tough to get for Houston so far this year. The Cougars allowed Tulane’s third string quarterback to carve them up at the end of the 4th quarter last week and then lost at home in overtime. Still, Houston has a solid quarterback and can actually tackle; something Memphis rarely does unless playing the likes of UMass. Memphis spent the first half last week looking ahead to this game. Betting the road team on a Friday night is tough, but Houston is the more complete team even when considering the Cougars’ struggles this season. The play: Houston+3 (1 unit)


Colorado State @ Nevada (-3.5)

10:00 PM


Both of these teams are having bad years and have become virtually unbeatable. Add in the mixed emotions that are sure to be had as Jay Norvell returns to Nevada for the first time since bolting at the end of last year. The play: Pass


UNLV @ San Jose State (-7)

10:30 PM


UNLV has played well this year but San Jose State has played even better. The Spartans have possibly the best defense in the Mountain West. Laying seven on the better team at home is a solid bet. My ratings have the home team favored by almost two full touchdowns and seven could be a bargain if UNLV cannot get its running game going. The play: SJSU-7 (4 units)

WEEK 9 BETS

WEEK 9 BETS  Betting Info as of 10/26 per Bovada; lines are listed with Home Teams All Times are Eastern Thursday, Oct 27 th Louisiana @ Southern Miss (-1) 7:30 PM              The line movement has been very strange on this game. Yes, Louisiana has played extremely well the last few weeks and USM has been less than impressive lately. Still, both teams have seemed to have found normal levels of expected performance. Perhaps Louisiana has farther yet to climb. This game should show if that is the case. The play: Pass Virginia Tech @ NC State (-13.5) 7:30 PM NC State has the ability to destroy Virginia Tech this season. The Hokies are really underperforming in year one of the Brent Pry era. Improvement should come eventually, but perhaps not this season. The main reason not to bet NC State would be because quarterback Devin Leary is out for the year. Therefore, only a small wager is prudent. Think of it more along the lines of fading Virginia...

Wednesday Night MACtion Bets

  WEEK 12 BETS Betting Info as of 11/15 per Bovada; lines are listed with Home Teams All Times are Eastern Wednesday, Nov 16 th Eastern Michigan @ Kent State (-7.5) 6:00 PM The hook on the high side of seven makes this matchup difficult to bet. Kent State is fully capable of clobbering Eastern Michigan. But will the Fast Flash offense be at its best? Sean Lewis’s squad seems to be hovering around its floor this season after facing a brutal non-conference schedule to start the year. Results in the conference slate have not impressed. Meanwhile, Chris Creighton has his EMU Eagles playing their typical year filled with close games decided by just one or two scores. Eastern Michigan is always a tough team to figure out and getting a touchdown on the road at Kent State seems to be fair. Therefore, this game is a pass. The play: Pass Miami (Ohio) @ Northern Illinois (-1.5) 7:00 PM MAC spreads are increasingly accurate as the season has progressed. This is the case for most conference...
