SLIM pickins this week. Two GREAT games to WATCH and that's all I'll be doing with them cause throwing moola in the air ain't my thing; Badgers/Buckeyes and Miami/Clemson are just too tough to call for me.
Only got a few (odds are what I fed Chruncher which was close to when they opened; I'd take any of these even if it jumps the wrong way by ONE pt):
Oklahoma -7: I've been looking for a while for a nice, big, fat odds line for a future/prop? --> Sooners win championship game. Oddsmakers laying low or what?
Stanford + 4: FRYday game.
Troy pk or +1 (doesn't matter what it is) : It's Cruncher's top plick and I like this one as well. Careful, cause there aren't that many plicks or games this Sat. and BEST BET doesn't mean that much in this situation. Also, the program (Crnch) does better with spreads that "have some meat in them" that is, the calculated, final rating is not as reliable when spreads are so low like ,1's, 2's Still, bestest bets have been winning this season for me n Crunch.
Interesting game:
If somebody is interested in what Chrunch has to "say" about the Memphis/UCF game - it does like UCF's chances to cover. I don't and I'm not confident to back Memphis with a bet either. I'm interpreting Chrunch's report as - Memphis just might not be lighting up the scoreboard so much vs. UCF. How bout that O/U line? I'm not biting on that bait the oddsmaker threw out there. This isn't logical but, for whatever reason - Memphis just doesn't score vs. UCF. These two teams played each other EVERY year from 08 to 2013 and the MOST Memphis scored was 21 stinkin points, 2nd most was 17. Maybe this makes more sense - they played 9/30 this year, Memphis scored 13 ! Yes, the Tigers have been doing some heavy scoring since their game with UCF but IMO, except for MAYBE one or two exceptions, I don't see a solid defensive team among the teams they faced. Bottom line is that 82 is just way too much of a stretch and in that last game they played the bait was 68 1/2 and that was too high by 15 1/2 pts. and now the bait is 82? "I don't think so, Boookies." Right now I'm on the fence with going with the UNDER. Bottom line is that I am excited as a fan, not so much as a bettor this week.
