That ECU/Cincy line is lower than I expected. A close loss to UCF and a yawner of a win over Navy and Vegas seems to have soured on the Bearcats despite their home winning streak and ECU not being as dangerous on the road.... But boy, would it be nice for Holton Ahlers to bust out one of those 5-passing-TD games. With all our debate here about wanting our opponents to win or lose, the one thing I don't care about is wanting Tulane to be the ones to end their home winning streak. So go Pirates.

I'd also consider taking Navy to cover. ND is getting too much love for one upset win and it's hard to win by a ton over a team that chews clock like Navy. And it's in Annapolis.

Interesting. I’d pass on the Navy game because as you note hard to bet on a game when you don’t know which team will show up. I’ll root for the unlikely longshot upset though by an AAC bottom feeder over a ranked team

I just take the Cincy line at face value. Vegas thinks they are beatable. If ECU upsets UC, Tulane can sew up homefield AAC CG with two wins in next eight days.

That’s what I’m pulling for.

I guess easiest conventional wisdom bet is taking SMU to cover.

The real dilemma is the O/U at 72. I just don’t touch a line where I can lose a bet with a 49-21 final score

Memphis and Tulsa playing in the “neither of us care anymore” bowl. Brin started for Tulsa but I saw Braxton so I don’t know if Brian was benched or if they are easing him back in. After a scuffle between the teams even the referee had a look of “can we just call this game already?”

Memphis can still make a bowl and because of last night’s win will make a bowl (FCS game next week).

I haven’t seen highlights but Navy losing by 3 to ND is a bit surprising.

Last I had seen Notre Dame was ahead by 3 touchdowns and the announcer said they were pulling away. Later I kept seeing on the crawl that they had to hang on to win bit I never did see a score. Too wrapped up in our game. So in that sense, it was a little surprising.
