RE: This Weeks Games
I think in the last 3 games FAU has been withing 3 points either way of the spread.
Bascially a toss up in all of those according to vegas.
On that note, I think that Jimmy Hoffa and our Defense are somewhere together wearing cement shoes right now.

Call me crazy but I think 19 is a bit too much.

I'm sure overall records play into it. A 4-2, 3-0 in conference play going against a 1-5, 0-3 in Conference play. And NT's lone win is against a winless program. And the past couple of years scores in this game haven't been too kind for the Mean Green. 45-17 in 2008, 45-7 in 2007. And with the way Levi and the offense have been playing lately, I can see 19 being the spread. Of course we all need to remember the spread is set to encourage betting. Lots of folks will bet on those high lines. I'm very cautious on betting on single digit line games. Just too hard to tell, especially with the bad officiating this year. Remember, the Trojans didn't cover the spread last week due to the officiating screw-up with the clock at the end of the game. I'd hate to have had any money on that game.
