FUN BETS

ECU ML/O53.5 13.5-1
CHAR ML/O56.5 12.2-1
ALL TOGETHER .. 192-1

Not that I'm not convinced in Army but its possibly the hardest test for ECU and pirates with their backs against the wall in a pretty big way right here .. think the over is possible anyway and almost certainly seems like this has to hit for ECU to have a shot here .. if Army pulls ahead they could romp em to the over but imagine Army actually needing to play catchup and we'll see if ECU maintains its lightning quick attack and if its effective at all .. if it is then think good shot to win and total bonanza .. 

Charlotte well we don't know, its a team that finally found success maybe their biggest win in the last .. ever ?... certainly their strongest win .. ECU was in a major down spot but after all those losses you'd think they'd have put up more of a fight in that spot .. so its very possible Charlotte found something with the new QB and looking at their roster its chalk full of former P5-ers and not many injuries quite a few playmakers .. it would be a surprise if the team has changed so dramatically that they insert themselves into the AAC champ game convo but it wouldn't be without some reasons all things considered even the horrific start vs JMU and hit n miss struggles before they potentially got themselves turned around right when conference started .. we'll seeeeeeeeeeeeee.. good luck!

Good GRIEF.. glad I put all this junk in the 'smaller' department .. what a nasty run .. that time-a-year tho .. good luck today ..

WEEK 9

BRIDGE PLAY
UNLV +3.5

SMALLER
SYRACUSE +3.5

Fan duel look ahead lines ...  next week games and some beyond next week that are/were up .. some plays noted and a few others im just leaving my notes on how to get the best line .. hope that helps .. 

Other notes on FD Look ahead .. played some not posting offish though .. some we're waiting on .. might play next week . 

Maaaan UNLV still taking 3.5 at home .. seems insane for what that team is packin on offense and there will be only one defense on the field for this game and Rebs at home ..  Bridge Play all da way for 3.5 .. all that said we might get better I could def see the Rebs trip to Corvallis be a major trap look ahead they've played a number of tough games in a row now and this just feels like a letdown .. no waiver on my part whatsoever if they fall to the Beavs so long as the injury situation is fine I'm good to get 4.5 or more if they fall this week .. maybe drop the very elusive ..  DOUBLE BP .. 

Kansas 10.5 well I don't like KU at all this year but I don't like K-ST either .. KU is off their bye and has a HOU team that seems like an under the radar special and feels like FAN is getting ahead of the line move on a potential major look ahead shocker loss that KU might suffer .. obvi I hope they do .. we want KU to lose this look ahead and hopefully Fanduel will be offering us .... 11.5?.... at least maybe on sunday night .. I know K-STATE goes out their way to throttle KU historically but that was during the 'troubles' and KU is outta that .. this is their redemption game of the year and they';lll be ready .. let's see if we can get the HOU win and squeeze what we can out of this line eh?.. 

INDY -1.5 ..  vs WASH .. wellp that lasted all of 5 seconds .. sorry .. hit it -1.5 and ML immediately .. I can't even post it as a play it moved to -6.5 in a heartbeat lol .. I do like washington as a team if they're in a good spot and even on the road let's see if Indy can rock nebraska this week and we get something interesting like Wash well over a TD .. if ya love indy then maybe wait to see if Nebraska can keep it close and line moves back 

Vandy +20.5 .. HORNS basically the same spot Bama was in although the cat's out the bag on vandy now .. still UT might be a true next level team we;ll see this week but I don't think there's a team that should be layin 20 to vandy in this sorta MASSIVE EPIC GAME / GO ON THE ROAD to play these guys off what amounts to a bye week spot .. no sir.. took 20.5 and we'll see certainly grabbing anything higher than that if UT wins this week .. 

Cincy / Colorado .. over 51.5 .. FAN made a mistake on that one .. me and duck plucked it and instantly off the board 58.5 .. can't post it but I'll brag about it lol .. now just watch it'll be a 14-7 game .. 

Ohio St -3.5 vs PSU .. we know the bucks can play hard in a tough road environment .. this game / spot / stadium will be nothing new for them I like it -3.5 .. feels like PSU could absolutely have a bad gm at camp randall off their EPIC COMEBACK WIN so I grabbed this one now and won't feel bad if . 

WEEK 9

SMALLER

CUSE +3.5

It's a rivalry and while its on the road I don't think you can hand cuse a free 3.5 here they might lose this game but this is an under the radar rivalry and Cuse will be off a bye and we know them to be very capable and have that fire seeing how they came back vs UNLV on a totally awkward noncon trip they were supposed to lose on and bagged a big win .. sp+ says 7 so can't be layin into this one .. Pitt making some hay in the model with string of sorta close wins .. let's see where the line is on sunday I can't imagine its much more than this or might have to bump this up .. think Cuse might be the better team .. 

FAN D LOOK AHEAD

SMALLER

FLORIDA STATE +17.5

Reality has totally set in by now and off their horrific run to start the year .. I don't love the spot going to Duke on Friday a team thats 0 for a lifetime vs this team and such a massive major win for the dukes if they can get this one and think its possible .. either way Noles off their bye chance to regroup here and the one thing you know with certainty is they were gunna show up vs Clemson and even more for sure they will show up vs Miami .. there is a little hope for them we saw the new QB really not have a terrible game on the road vs the tigers .. that was a better game than any DJU had this whole year very little pressure only 2 sacks and hit 56% against a real defense, maybe a good oman for the potential MASSIVE PRESSURE that Miami can potentially bring .. we'll see what happens vs Duke if they succumb to this spot it won't change my mind but maybe hit it again if the line moves north of even the 17.5 which I thought was a bit much already .. 16.5 now suggest waiting since this is Duke's BIG Night and wouldn't rule out a big win for them .. good luck!

BRIDGE PLAY

MICHIGAN/ILLINOIS OVER 44

Hit this 44/43 over the week after it inched up from 43.5 .. think we saw Illinois' deense get absolutely ramshackled by Purdue after a little change at QB .. obviously they weren't ready for the change there but holy smokes .. but I do like Illinois' offense to have a chance at a few points the 2 WR's are solid and Barry Lunny has a good OL working and QB that can really make plays with an OL that is doing 100% better than what Altmeyer had to endure last year .. they'll really need their A game vs this D front but gotta say so far Mich's D while stout esp up front is not the GRADE A BEEF we had last year particularly in the secondary .. de some room for Illinois to draw up a winner vs them, WR's Pat Bryant and Zakhari of UTSA Fame can can really play .. 

Michigan is off their bye and we faded them hard in the NATTY REMATCH vs Wash and obvi had to fade the huskies off that game in their trip to Iowa .. but maaaan Mich came all the way back on em when they put Tuttle in and while their WR group is iffy for sure we don't have any clue yet what they're capable of they do have a couple guys like Leary and another guy or two who can play .. we just haven't seen any production yet from targets outside of Loveland whose such an ace in the hole here along with some solid RB's .. the OL had a chance for revamping in the bye week and got a game plan situated to Tuttle and a more effective pass offense .. think this is a major mid-ssn boom for that side and we should still see Orji picking up the tough yards when needed .. 

Ok Mich guys just so ya know I'm on Mich here too -1 got it right before the big move .. think the D eventually can make some trouble for ILL here esp w Fagen out and maybe turn in a bigger than expected win .. so this week we roll together!!! .. 

BRIDGE PLAY

IOWA ST / UCF OVER 49.5

Smarter books up to 50 and the dumber lingering half pt behind .. I like Iowa State in this game overall but the spot is really gruesome for UCF with their first real road game outside of florida and it goes right up to the corn field mid october .. Knights with a good start to the ssn vs the lower comp put a number on Sammy hoo and toe to toe shootout with TCU .. but 3 straight losses and 2 bad perormances from KJ Jefferson has benched him and he's not even on the depth chart now .. CJ Colston had a horrific start to last game but Jarcurri Brown right off the bench came in very early and while they failed to score what they should have they did put up 400 yds of offense and was great as a run option and decent passer .. needs to find more of his targets .. very tough spot for him but he offers actual hope to a team thats on the verge of quitting, and he's at least got some skills to lead a scoring drive .. they really need the run game to turn on and that's been Clones biggest iffy spot I think we will see UCF find ways to move the ball in this one .. outside of KJ's departure the offense is healthy and hasn't lost anyone and in a desperate spot for Malzahn if he has any chance here he's gotta get this offense to land a few punches .. Clones don't bring tons of pressure either so maybe they can put drives on and cap em off .. 

UCF's D has already had quite a few of their primary backups defense taking redshirts and Gus mentioned we're gunna start seeing some prospects on ST but looking at the depth chart there's a few spots where the starters are the backups and one starter was out last week listed as an 'or' .. feels like any injury or rotation could have UCF dippin deep down the roster and if Clones pull away late in this game we malzahn might need to play risk management with a thin unit and see a few new faces coming in .. This is great for the total because Clones with 2 AWESOME WR's and a few more good targets along w a deep corps at RB .. UCF terrible putting pressure on w only 6 sacks this year .. feels like clones will have their way on offense and UCF with some chances to keep up at some pt will probably need to roll the dice in their own territory maybe fall into an ugly death spiral handing out easy scores or helping our cause by landing shots of their own .. No ugly weather and both bye on deck, feels like all systems go here .. good luck!

POSTED WEEK 6 ..FAN DUEL LOOK AHEADS .. 

THIS WEEK:

SMALLER

BAMA / TENN OVER 58.5

Total sunk down but we can def hang our hats on this Bama D being beatable and hitting this one in a shootout .. 

MIAMI / LOUISVILLE +6.5

This still feels good its the last shot for Ville before the season gets packed in all the way and regardless of how the games have played out thus far this is SUCH A MASSIVE SPOT for Ville that I think anything north of 3 is still worthy of a few bucks here, 6.5 was an easy read when i posted it 2 weeks ago .. good luck!

NEXT WEEK:

BRIDGE PLAY
BOISE / UNLV +3.5

We knew the spot was Boise off a bye and UNLV was no break into this MASSIVE SHOWDOWN .. had the roadie last week they clearly had no problem with them and not worried UTAH ST came back a bit at the end there theyve been doing that since Petras came in and now they got a B2B trip to Oregon State if there's any down spot it feels like this might be it .. but like last year this team TORE THRU their schedule en route to a champ game and they arent saddled with the MAJOR DEPTH ISSUES of last year .. I mentioned when I posted it tho that UNLV shouldn't be getting any points for this game they feel like the true legit G5 champs major big time juggernaut offense and a defense to go with it .. still feel that way and really like this one .. think its worth playing for a few bucks down to a pick'em .. GOOD LUCK!

SMALLER

MID-T -9.5

Only time im playing Mid T this year and its not for a bigger of the smaller plays .. Mid T stinks their D staaaaanks real bad and they truly are an outlier .. but Kennesaw is an outlier among outliers and they're apparently having a tryout on their bye week for a new QB to take over .. on the one hand this is certainly the game to win if they think there's a chance and QB tryout / new starter feels like a desperation move ..  on the other hand I think the hope for them is a new QB miiiiiight give them a shot to win a game by year end if they have a few weeks of practice .. besides that there's a few guys on D who appeared on their injury report now and whole thing sets up as bad news IMO with the mid-week road gm, even off the bye .. Mid-T is in a similar boat but they beat their FCS foe tenn tech and if they want to win an FBS game this year this is def a good candidate .. they actually have some capabilities on offense but yeah the D is atrocious .. still Kennesaw couldn't handle UT Martin and finding a starting QB that can plug n play seems like the only chance they have to hang around in this game .. layin 9.5 with Mid T lol never thought I'd see the day but never thought I'd be layin a TD with New Mexico this year either .. sometimes an opponent comes around that is just that bad .. good luck!

SMALLER

MARYLAND +7.5

Think everyone loved the spot for them last week Friday night blackout vs NU .. and true we shoulda seen something better outta them .. this feels like the MAJOR MAAAAJOR GUT CHECK SPOT for a team that is on the verge of sorta falling off the wagon and calling it quits and desperately needing some motivation .. they'll get it this week off such a massive dud to a crappy NU team and just a MASSIVE shot at redemption and extra prep day here with USC making a massively long trip eastward and coming off a tough run @Mich, Wisco, @Minny and I think the NITNEYS was their biggest PLAY UP spot of the year and just squandering a big lead and falling short effectively killing any kinda playoff dream they were clinging to and in just a dramatic overtime fashion I could see it taking a major toll on the team's morale and prospects in this cross-country spot .. 

Maryland is overall a pretty healthy squad getting some guys back last week and have two solid WR's in Prather and Felton and Dylan Wade at TE .. Billy Edwards isin't the best QB didn't see much of a long ball outta him but he can be effective with a comp rate in the high 60's .. blocking is not good but USC doesn't have much of a pass rush and this offense while not explosive can actually hold a tune on a long drive .. last week had a number of costly bad plays for the terps scoop n score another fumble by the WR, edwards threw a bad pick, and were in the game late just got into the 4th n go spots and things took a much worse turn than they normally would have.. think handing em a over a TD here is baking in too much of last game and assuming USC will be on solid footing here when it feels like were not far off from the doctors notes coming in for them / guys ready to take their RS and hit the portal .. etc .. def one I'll be dropping in a ML parlay somewhere .. maybe with Houston??!!

SMALLER

PURDUE 32.5

I mean c'mon .. off buckeyes friday night and Purdue at least a sign of life .. this moved to 31.5 quick and maybe lower now .. we know Oregon doesn't want to show off all its weapons we saw them really come together and fire their best stuff vs the BUCKS and eek out a huge win .. they don't have anything real dangerous on deck but keep in mind they're 3 games deep into a very very tough stretch of 8 straight conf games and all of em from here feel like a tough game or down spot or look ahead spot, etc.. I just cant see short week and its not their first B10 roadie they did go to UCLA but its the first REAL B10 roadie and whatever Boilers BIG MAX EFFORT is we don't know but they'll def get it here .. I would call this a BP this if the limits were higher, if 31.5 comes out at Circa then we'll have to ciiiircle back to this .. 

EEEEESH .. WELP .. ONWARD .. 

FAN Openers .. some moved a little already but think most are still playable .. good luck!

SMALLER

SAM HOUSTON -1.5

Took this spread and moneyline earlier in the week and popped again when we saw it .. Basically doubling down here the right move is to hedge the conf futures with W.KY but degen nation wouldn't stand for that and Bridge Army been on Sammy Sweetheart since week 1 and gotta play our dudes here .. Took this spread and ML to make it a bigger play since FAN D is such a pansy ass operation and seems like they lowered my limits even more now .. I mean what the hell did they see how last week went?.. WKY's pass offense is certainly capable of throwing on this team which is the risk but massive home game and start of the march to the conf champ game  .. fingers xx'd .. let's go!

SMALLER

HOUSTON +8.5

Offense came to life BIG TIME with the change at QB to Chriss .. now that was also vs TCU whose known to give up massive points to SMU and the like .. but .. the offense we'd seen leading up to last game wouldn't have sniffed any points so yep major change .. we expected Willie Fritz to have some challenges on offense to start the season and at some point expected things to improve and start clicking and the QB change maybe the key turner for all that .. first year coach facing growing pains coming off thier first sign of hope and a perfectly timed bye week .. Cougars D is also an underrated group so far, tough to notice with the offense's poor performance but they haven't been a pushover and shown up in more than a few games now it makes sense that Fritz's DC he brought from Tulane might have had things squared away on that side of the ball and improving over the season .. I don't think its IDEAL to take on a solid coach like Liepold also off a bye I don't think Rock Chalk is quitting on him but its def two teams having disappointing years but also two teams in VERY different places and hopefully going in very diff directions heading into this game .. on the road is not really an issue I think the extra points cushion makes this a better play Cougs have plenty of rest and motivation .. took this spread and ML, feels like I'd go bigger / call it a BP now but think I was hoping for 10.5 or 11 to do that, I need a better beat on these teams to bomb it at 8.5 .. buuut .. maybe we'll get there...... GO COOGS!!!
