Houston gets until a certain day to sell their allotment.  If they can't sell them, they go back to ECU at which point they will be gobbled up.  Guaranteed sellout.

I'm not at all worried about what you call "professional gamblers".  If you were to look at my comprehensive plays on East Carolina games, you would quickly draw the conclusion that perhaps a bad way for "professional gamblers" to make money would be picking against the LuDawg.

Sell-out yes.. but it won't be a true home game for ECU.. even if it's 60/40 or 65/35  that's more neutral field-esk than say, 90/10, as it would be if this was just a Reg Season game..

This is purely a guess, BBallday10, but my assumption is that Houston will sell roughly 10% of their allotment.  They don't have very good fan support, which is unfortunate.  They have a solid team.

sorry- you are correct.  must have been confusing with Rice or something that plays at Reliant?

still, you have a good weather/track style offense going to play in cold weather.

Fair enough.. on the other side, but BOL..

Also- Saturday is only a 40% chance to rain and it is suppose to be 67 on Thursday and 55 and sunny on Friday.. 50 and sunny on Saturday isn't that cold- if it does not rain..

ECU returned nearly everyone on defense from a team that shut down last years most prolific offense, Tulsa, at home on their artificial turf field in excellent weather conditions.  Shut them down, folks, forcing 7 turnovers. That same Pirate defense will get Houston at home on grass in a cold rain, for all the marbles.

In the south during this time of year, the hottest point in the day is typically after 3pm.  I'm looking for it to be around 40 degrees with some precipitation at the noon kick.

That same defense gave up 41 points at home to Houston last year-

I doubt any real SHARPS could either way about what "LuDawg" does.  I won on ECU last week but only because I got down early!  You think people that got ECU -6 last week and lost gave a shit about your comprehensive plays on ECU?  I'm trying to enlighten people and your gloating about your comprehensive record?

Izzy, you're free to play either side you want.  Best of luck to you.

I was just looking at the turf inside ECU's Dowdy-Ficklen stadium.  It's pretty chewed up after the past two games this late in the season.  Might be a slippery track with some water.

I just think your a little bent because you thought a ton of $$$ would come in on your Pirates and you were getting a sweet line.  And the exact opposite happened.  You could have probably got them +4 by kickoff!!  Good luck dude, just admit that you were wrong about which side the $$$ would come in on!

Do I seem bent to you?  I like the Pirates straight up in this game, son.  I don't care if they're getting 20 points and I don't care which side the money comes in on.  Really, I don't.

Why are you so mad?

 Love the pick LuDawg, think I'll wait til the public jams the Cougars coming off that Rice game.

Dude Izzy you know he can place another bet if they end up getting more points. He was wrong about the line movement but that is pretty insignificant. Tip of the day: Bet against the public in every bet you make.

Icantfeelmyface, while true, I'm locked in with +1 unless it moves significantly in the wrong direction. 

I'm looking forward to the ECU vs Arkansas game at the Liberty Bowl.  Let's get up for a beer on Beale Street.

Absolutely LuDawg should be a great game.  What do you think the line of that game would be today?
