RE: Lines in the Sand (C-USA)- Week 2 - Cnelson203 - 09-06-2015 06:42 PM
I sure hope I can do a heck of lot better than I did last week. I need to have more faith in C-USA teams, it seems. Nevertheless, here are my picks for this week:
LaTech @ Western Kentucky: Wish the Tops had a better first outing.
Miami @ FAU - Second hurricane a row will blow out the Owls
Kansas State @ UTSA - my upset special based on how well the played AZ
Presbyterian @ Charlotte - should be an easy one
UTEP @ Texas Tech - I want to pick the Miners, and if were in EP, I would
Austin Peay @ Southern Miss;- USM continues to fine tune and build on last week.
Middle Tennessee @ Alabama; best hope for Blue Raiders is to keep it close
Marshall @ Ohio: Always scary at Ohio, but think we can ride this week into next
Norfolk State @ ODU - Expect to win big, Monarchs
North Texas @ SMU Mustangs looked very improved in the first half last week. North Texas a question mark.
Rice @ Texas Yeah, I'm tempted, as Texas only scored 3 last week, but ND looked invincible.
FIU @ Indiana: Yes, I drank the kool-aid. I think FIU can take this.

LaTech @ Western Kentucky (-2): LaTech
Friday, September 11
Miami (-17.5) @ FAU; Miami
Saturday, September 11
Kansas State (-20) @ UTSA; KState
Presbyterian @ Charlotte; 49ers
UTEP @ Texas Tech (-19.5); Red beats Orange-El Paso

Middle Tennessee @ Alabama (-34.5); Bama, but they won't cover
Marshall @ Ohio (Pick-em...no line); Marshall
Norfolk State @ ODU; ODU
North Texas @ SMU (-3); SMUwho?
Rice @ Texas (-15.5); I think Rice easily beats the spread.. as to the game, I'll say a nailbiting 1-point victory for the Blue & Gray over Orange-Austin - which will make me very mad that I'm out of the country this weekend and can't watch.
FIU @ Indiana (-7.5); Hoosiers
Lines in the Sand (C-USA)- Week 2 - ARandomHerdFan - 09-06-2015 09:40 PM
I think we're 6-point favorites.
RE: Lines in the Sand (C-USA)- Week 2 - CoachMaclid - 09-06-2015 10:21 PM
Vegas has now posted Herd as 6 point favorite against Ohio. I thought it'd open about 10.

You might be right, there weren't enough entries on the site I use (only two that hovered around -6) out of about 15, so there was no consensus as of last night.
It's going to be a tough game, I don't care what the line is.

Week 2
LaTech over WKU- Vandy showed the defensive pattern
Miami over FAU- last Hurricanes for FAU this year (one hopes)
Kansas State over UTSA- Bill Snyder saw the tape
Charlotte over Presby- Blue Hose lose to Green socks
Texas Tech over UTEP- not by much though
USM over Lets Go Peay- Golden Eagles are #1 this time
Alabama over MTSU- bad scheduling, hopefully Blue Raiders stay healthy
Ohio over Marshall- still not buying Birdsong, great MU defense though
ODU over Norfolk State- city rivals separated by 4 miles and 45 points
SMU over UNT- week 1 bye team gets no love
Rice over Texas- why not?
Indiana over FIU- the big boy fix is in
RE: Lines in the Sand (C-USA)- Week 2 - MU ATO - 09-07-2015 07:58 AM
My picks
Thursday, September 10
LaTech @ Western Kentucky - WKU - La Tech leads the whole game but a late INT and eventual TD seals the game.
Friday, September 11
Miami @ FAU - FAU FAU makes The U The Birch.
Saturday, September 11
Kansas State @ UTSA - UTSA - UTSA decides to win this once since they lost to Arizona.
Presbyterian @ Charlotte Charlotte - 49ers keep the train rolling.
UTEP @ Texas Tech -UTEP -Like UTSA this 4 letter named school also decides to win.
Austin Peay @ Southern Miss - USM - USM overcomes their fluke loss to Bulldogs.
Middle Tennessee @ Alabama - MTSU - CUSA>SEC
Marshall @ Ohio - Marshall - MU wins The Battle for the Bell by ringing the Bobcats bells.
Norfolk State @ ODU - ODU - ODU beats Norfolk State which will be the first of several CUSA whippins they will receive.

Rice @ Texas - Rice - Everything is bigger in Texas to include Rice's margin of victory.
FIU @ Indiana -FIU - FIU beats the Hoosiers. Nothing more and nothing less.

when the chips were down MB marched us down the field for the go ahead. Pennington likes him. Good enough for me.
RE: Lines in the Sand (C-USA)- Week 2 - Side Show Joe - 09-07-2015 08:21 AM
Thursday, September 10
LaTech @ Western Kentucky - Both good teams but WKU played a better opponent in week1 and has the home field advantage
Friday, September 11
Miami @ FAU - FAU couldn't put Tulsa away. Miami isn't Tulsa
Saturday, September 11
Kansas State @ UTSA - Too much talent at K State... too young at UTSA
Presbyterian @ Charlotte Charlotte - Georgia State>Presbyterian?
UTEP @ Texas Tech -Texas Tech has no D. UTEP will run the ball and control the clock
Austin Peay @ Southern Miss - USM in a blow out.
Middle Tennessee @ Alabama - This will get ugly. Bama dominated a very good Wisconsin team in week1
Marshall @ Ohio - Marshall is rolling right now
Norfolk State @ ODU - Shaky start against Eastern Michigan
North Texas @ SMU - SMU has improved. Has North Texas? Yes.
Rice @ Texas - Texas has no QB. Rice is a very smart team.
FIU @ Indiana - Indiana is bad. FIU is improving
2 big wins over the Big12, and another win over the Big10. Plus wins over the MAC and AAC. Should be another great week for C-USA.
RE: Lines in the Sand (C-USA)- Week 2 - BlueraiderJT - 09-07-2015 08:49 AM
Well, I was 11-1 in my week 1 picks. I had em but didn't post em. I missed on FAU since they drilled Tulsa last year.
Here's my week 2 picks. I'm just picking wins and not going points yet. Might add points on Thursday morning.
Thu., Sep. 10
Louisiana Tech @ WKU - La Tech to win. I saw WKU play in person and I think La Tech has the edge.
Fri., Sep. 11
Miami @ Florida Atlantic - Gotta go with Miami
Sat., Sep. 12
Kansas State @ UTSA - KSU
Presbyterian @ Charlotte - Charlotte
UTEP @ Texas Tech - Will be a good game but Texas Tech will win
Austin Peay @ Southern Miss - USM
Middle Tennessee @ Alabama - Bama but we cover
Marshall @ Ohio - Picking Marshall til they lose
Norfolk State @ Old Dominion - ODU
North Texas @ SMU - This one is a hard pick. I'm going SMU. Go Craddock!
FIU @ Indiana - FIU is tough this year. FIU all the way
Rice @ Texas - I'm going out on a limb. I'm picking Rice to get the P5 victory.
