This is, spot on.

Its amazing what can be accomplished when "Non Homers" prognosticate.

Middle's line will go up quick.

I knew Tulsa would be favored, but I'm a little surprised by that much. They have had some huge injury problems in the last couple weeks.

I want to see the Raiders RUTS on memphis, it's like having a Division II school on the schedule. Beat t i g e r high.

Here are the Vegas lines as of 945pm CDT

TULSA -23 vs. UNT
MT -21 vs. Memphis
UL -9 vs. FAU
WKU +10.5 VS.ASU

DUKE/FIU and TROY/UAB do not have lines as of right now.

This seems a bit more reasonable, I think we cover that number, but I wouldn't bet real money on it.

If I could walk into a sports book that was offering this line, I would bet the maximum and walk away laughing my a** off.

Memphis will be playing their butts off trying to win this game. The UNT game will be much closer than that. Take UNT and the points. Take Memphis and the points.

I'm more comfortable with the way the vegas line is for the cajuns game, 15 was WAY to much. I think we're a better team than FAU, but until we prove it, I'm not sure we're 2 tds better than anyone.

I think betting that -21 number is risky in either direction, but I think the odds are greater that we cover.

Austin Peay held Memphis to 27 in Memphis, I don't think it's unreasonable to say that they won't score more than that on us and I would like to think we'll hold them to less than that.

Against FBS defenses, Memphis has been shut out for the past six quarters and they haven't scored a TD on a FBS defense in the past eight.

If we scored 35 against Troy, is it unreasonable to think we can do at least that well against Memphis?

We should cover with relative ease.

If they werent in state I would agree.

I really don't see what that has to do with anything, besides, Arkansas State, while not in the same state as Memphis, is a much bigger rival(they've played Memphis more than double the number of times we have and are three times closer geographically) and Arkansas State beat them by 44.

Memphis fans are taking MT:

Up until Saturday FAU hadnt even sniffed the Endzone. The number is probably right on based on performance.

The question is was Saturday against Auburn an abberation or not?

I think the Cajuns cover.

Don't know about that! FAU has always played UL tough, I don't expect anything less this weekend. The Owls are playing a lot of young kids, like UL in the depth chart. This will be another tough and physical game between the two teams. I'm not expecting any 15 pt spread in this game.
