am I wrong to think App St rolls tonight? looks like they are a legit small school program yet again this season...that Penn St game was no fluke! Does this set up a 1st Q or 1st H play on? I don't know much about the home dog here...but its a Tuesday stand alone game...doesn't the home dog catching 10 seem to have some bite for the ESPN cameras?

I hate betting on the stand alone games but on paper it looks like App should roll and I'm a bit surprised by the line of 10.....I would lean the other way if I were playing it.  But I won't be.   GL

Tend to agree with BigD. On paper it looks good for App St. Besides Penn State they have played know one. SBama/Gardner Webb/Charlotte. Ark State getting double digits at home? Pretty much a no play for me.

I’m gonna play  the under on this game. Arky st has the better defense and can bang with the big dogs, which is the argument for everyone on the arky side. Now all I’m hearing is appy st offense but one thing that is overlooked is arky st has a better TOP rating than appy st... and again, these stats are derived from arky playing far better teams than appy. Even when they played Alabama the total only hit 64. One other gsme did their total go over 59 and that was when they kicked the crap out of semo. I agree with these fellas that this looks like a bogus line and I do side with Arkansas st to cover. So I believe that if they can hold the ball, wear out the appy d, they should be able to keep appypffense off the field. With all this being said, I would like to think playing on a Tuesday has gotta mess with these boys... but I also could be completely wrong by yesterday, too. Lol

Betting any sports total under is a gut wrenching experience in the modern era

This is true and I’m a glutton for punishment and sweats. I won’t be doing it in the NFL until I can see their breathe in the field

Speaking of unders I’m taking a little stab at some preseason NBA with Milwaukee sitting almost everyone. 


Bucks vs OKC Under 219

fading your raiders this week, d. i don't think their explosive offense will be able to bang with tcu's defense with so many injuries and uncertainties. if ttu had a better defense, i would be the other way

tcu -7 -110

tcu has done this in the past. i don't think it will be a blowout but i don't see ttu covering, either. i just look at WV defense, which played very well again TTU, and they are very close to tcu numbers. i think they'll have trouble keeping the ball in the air against tcu. i might put another unit on tcu after taking a closer look. if bowman is out, i don't see why this number wouldn't fly back up. should be a great game to watch, though

Over is a possibility. In the past when we played 0 defense this would be an auto bet.  But we have shifted our strategy.  Wouldn’t surprise me to see a 34-27 type game here.

i actually like the under more. i just don't have the balls to play it and i like the side more. i don't see ttu running up the score like they have done on a couple teams this year. they have massive numbers, i think they're even first int he league for passing yards per game. but when they play tough defenses, they don't know what to do when they're contained. tcu really doesn't make big explosive plays this season. i'm expecting them to grind this one out and run up the clock as much as possible, making the d tired and keep ttu offense off the field

i'm seeing that for everywhere else. but for the opening line, when i click on the game, it shows when the line was released on 10/7/2018 at 2:33:57 p.m., the home line opened at -14. i contacted sportsinsights and they said that is the correct opening line. i'm going to call betonline to confirm but i don't have an account with them so i don't know if they will answer any questions
