Eastern Michigan +8

EASTERN MICHIGAN +8 vs. OHIO

I've been looking at this game much of the day and have already called in a sizable bet. I'm now contemplating putting down even more on EMU. Before I make a leap of faith -- can anyone please tell me why Ohio U. should be an -8 point favorite against ANYBODY, let alone Eastern Michigan? I realize the EMU defense is bad -- terrible, in fact -- but EMU is a 3-3 (SU) team playing a 1-5 team, and getting 8 points! EMU is averaging 400+ yards per game on offense, while Ohio is only putting up 242 yards per game. EMU has won two straight and 3 of their last 4 games -- while Ohio was ripped by Bowling Green 72-13 last week! What in the hell am I missing to see this line so far off? The line opened at -11 and was bet down to -8, but this still looks to be a game that could swing either way. In fact, EMU looks to be the better team based on season performance. EMU has no injuries listed -- I just can't figure why this line is more than a TD. Anyone who knows these two team better than I willing to comment?

Nolan, line originally opened at +9, now at +8. One of my outs has taken this game off the board???????

We need to determine whats going on. I agree with your selection, but why did this game go off at one of my books???

Nolan....I might be a little more familiar with these 2 teams than you, but I'll tell you what.....You're dead on with E. Mich. Didn't get this game capped till later in the week, and in a way that's what kept myself off them as it dipped below 10(I hate being late capping, when I had a chance at the better line), but it is the only way to go in this game.

You're definately on the right side.

Good luck to you this weekend

Ehhh, dont have much to back up Ohio Nolan but did find this interesting stat...

Ohio QB's have yet to throw a touchdown while being intercepted 9 times.

Nolan, I believe that Ohio has completely dominated this series, I could be wrong but I believe that they are 8-1-1 in the last ten. As you can see from my plays posted earlier that I am on EMU got it at +9.

i tried to do like nolan here and make a case for the other side keep in mind i bet this game already got +9 -105 on weds.
ohio is primarily a running team and emu is giving up 300 yrds a game on the road rushing.
emu averages only 5 pts a game on the road while giving up 50
ohio 17 and 31 at home
ohio has played a tougher schedule they only lost to pitt by 13
emu has been blown out by all 3 decent teams they played
if the averages hold up which they never do ohio should win
33 - 18
its too late know but i got myself wondering why i played it now
good luck to you

i guess i should try to make a case for emu as well it weak but ohio's biggest weakness appears to by pass def.emu sh/be able to exploit that some as they are avg over 250 a game passing they appear to have a more balanced off over 400 a game
they did win this one last yr at home but its true ohio has dominated the series
i have it 32 31 emu out right i guess well see
