Let me throw a couple of other thoughts your way... Any insight?
In the SEC, as DoubleUp has pointed out, Vandy is off a bye playing a very beatable UF. Tennessee gets what I believe to be an overrated Auburn team at home where Tennessee has fared well this season (Beat SC and narrowly lost to UGA). Finally, LSU at Bama, Bama is solid all around but 13 points is a lot historically in this game. Also, Bama doesn't do a great job sacking the QB, which means time for the LSU offense to get going.

Any thoughts on the Baylor TT over 45?

Looks like I was pretty close on tonight's game.

Ok, a little info on tonight's matchup:
Huskies are 0-2 in Big East play. Missed four field goals against Temple last week. Husky O is averaging just 320 total ypg. Syracuse has played a much tougher schedule and although they are 2-4, they have outgained their opponent by 110 ypg. Connecticut is averaging 2.7 ypc on the year. Uconn is hurting at DE and Syracuse will likely try and take advantage of this. Cuse has the ability to go downfield as well, which UConn clearly lacks. UConn is 1-5 ATS on the road against the Big East under Pasqualoni. Thoughts?

I'll give a little reasoning:
Wisconsin: UW has won 8 straight, out-gaining UM in the last three by 342 ypg and covering 4 of 5 here. Bowling Green: BG on a three game win streak (avg 499-248). UM is 0-6 and has allowed at least 500 yards of offense in four of their last five games. Akron: This is a little questionable as NI should move the ball fine (avg 6.6 ypp while Akron giving up 6 ypp). The Zips offense is much improved though and should be able to put points up as well (avg 5.2 ypp compared with 4.2 ypp last year). Texas A&M: LSU traveled to #10 UF, hosted #3 SC and now travels to #20 A&M. Manziel will be a true test for LSU's D but the real question will be whether or not the offense and special teams continue to make mistakes. Day games seem to be an issue as well. A&M is 2-0 as home dog last three years winning both outright. Cal: Cal off a pair of Pac 12 wins by 20 ppg. Stanford already 0-2 away averaging 254 ypg. Somehow a field goal favorite? UGA: UK has averaged just 10 points and 215 yards vs four other sec opponents. UGA coming off a 28 point loss and rested after bye week. UF on deck is worrisome but UK is bad enough this year. Mid Tenn State: MSU 0-2 ATS against vs sun belt opponents (Troy and USA). Off a barn burner last week against Tenn, it wouldn't be surprising if the Bulldogs do only what is necessary to win here, especially with Alabama, A&M and LSU on deck. Texas: It's time to put up or shut up for the longhorns coming off back to back losses. Although you may not think it, the Texas D is better than they've shown and much more so than Baylor's, which is averaging 558 ypg and 42 ppg over the last three. David Ash's injury is concerning but McCoy should be fine in this spot. Baylor had six turnovers against TCU last week and force none. Oregon St: Beavers lead the nation in time of possession, Utah has a lousy offense and Oregon State has a solid D. Even with backup qb Cody Vaz the Beavers shredded one of the better defenses in the nation last week. Utah is 0-3 in Pac 12 play and have been outgained in every FBS game this season.

Figured I'd list my picks to see if anyone saw a glaring issue. Appreciate the comments.
12:00 Wisconsin -17 Bowling Green -17.5 Akron +16.5 Texas A&M +3 3:00 Cal +3 7:00 UGA -26 Mid Tenn State +19 8:00 Texas -8.5 10:30 Oregon St -9.5 Also, considering the over in the Texas/Baylor game and thinking Syracuse tonight given the simple advantage they have on offense. Cut the mistakes and they should win, although history supports the Huskies.

Looks like powersweep is a must. I also totally agree on the local media perspective. I've found that covers does a good job of listing local articles in the matchup section for each game.
I'll check out @smartbets, but as I'm sure you can imagine, I'm skeptical. Thanks for the input though.

Thanks guys. Shout out to some other great cappers: Train, Whitemice, BEE, Macwestie, Gamehunter and Weeble. Lots of good dudes around this place. I'm sure I've left some off. Always appreciate everyone's insight.

Thanks guys, I feel the same way. When you read old articles from the WSJ discussing the success of Dr. Bob it makes you wonder if there is an edge worth paying for out there. I've always had a good experience in the covers forum with members like amd, rush and koaj. In the lead up to football season I always look at different angles and wanted to get an opinion from some others on this one.
If you have any other recommendations regarding cappers or sites, please share. Much appreciated. |

Honest question: has anyone used either of these services in the past, or know someone who has, and has an opinion on the value paying for a service provides versus the good information gleaned from forums like this one? I've used this particular forum for six plus years now, and have done well with the input provided by others, however, I'm always curious what other good options are out there. Many thanks.

LSU beat the Big East Champ, who beat the ACC Champ, and the PAC12 Champ, who
beat the Big10 Champ.
Alabama beat the big 10 leaders runner up, who lost to the conference USA
runner-up.

Let's not forget J. Lee wasn't benched until the second half. Jefferson's season has only gotten better since becoming the sole QB following the Alabama game.

It's certainly possible.
