This Houston @ Thundering Turd game should be a BLOW OUT...Right??

I see more people staying away from the game than hammering this?

Can anyone help me out with some knowledge?

I see a adlock: buying Houston to 6.5 (but I don't even think that will be needed)
There is no way the Turd keep up in this one.
Yes maybe they will score 21-24 pts (if they are lucky)but Houston will put up 34-40+ tonight.
Houston will look to come out strong from the start of the game after multiple slow starts this season. And once they find the end zone they just want more and more.

Thoughts?

I hear ya Freddog! This one doesn't make sense (as many of these mid-week games). I am seeing 84% on Houston but the line has gone from -8 to -7'. Whenever this happens, the game is sure to go the opposite way of conventional thinking. In looking at the line, it looks like Marshall is the play although it makes me want to stay away.

You're correct, 84% of the bets are on Houston, but 78% of the money is on the Herd !!!
GO HOUSTON !!! :00hour

Also, the WORLD is on Buffalo tonight !!!
GO OHIO !!! :00hour

Good info - thanks Ed! I saw your play earlier and liked it...I just got concerned about the 84% edge to Houston. You've making me feel better about taking them.

And I like that Ohio play too...I expect a bounce-back from last week's tough loss.

BUFFALO at OHIO...That's no misprint you might see when checking out the standings in the MAC East. With the power base of the conference in the West this season, the East has turned into a full-blown free-for-all, with all seven teams bunched within 1 game of one another in the standings, and only Akron (4-4 SU, 2-2 in league) as good as .500. The question, then, for this game at Athens is whether either Buffalo or Ohio has a shot at emerging as "the team" in the East. Both have their shortcomings, but we'd rather offer a measured vote for the visting Bulls. That's mainly due to an edge at QB, with UB's Drew Willy more likely to be involved in game-deciding plays than the Bobcats' erratic Boo Jackson. It will help Willy that top Bull RB James Starks (103 ypg) is due back from turf toe after missing the last game vs. Army. Meanwhile, Frank Solich's top rusher, Donte Harden, is out for the season, and we have no interest laying points with an Ohio side that MAC scouts say was demorialized by a late 14-10 loss at Temple last week.

************** BUFFALO 24 - Ohio 20

Easy guys..... I am on Houston pretty big but remember these weekday games have been going to the dogs. Marshall has good players, homefield where it will be VERY cold so anything could happen.

HOUSTON at MARSHALL... Things appear to be unraveling for the Thundering Herd, which isn't good news for under-fire HC Mark Snyder. After an encouraging break from the gate, the Herd has regressed alarmingly in recent weeks. In particular, RS frosh QB Mark Cann has tailed off, completing only 49% of his passes and tossing 5 picks in MU's last three games, all defeats. And the Herd's sloppy tackling came back to bite the team in its last game at lowly UAB, a bitter 23-21 loss for MU. UH enjoys a decided offensive edge, as the potent Cougar spread ranks second in the nation in passing (403 ypg), third in total offense (544 ypg), and 12th in scoring (39 ppg). UH also rates a significant edge at QB, where the laboring Cann pales in comparison to the Cougs' productive soph Case Keenum, who leads the nation in total offense at 407.9 ypg. And with true frosh RB Bryce Beall (6.3 ypc and over 100 YR the last 3 games) providing an effective infantry diversion, UH should have no trouble outscoring its fading host.

Irish - good point. I checked the weather though and am getting about 40 degrees at game time and it isn't supposed to cool off much more than that in Huntington over the course of the game. I checked 3 sources and got the same info. Wind is supposed to be less than 10 so I do not see weather being a factor tonight.

 

[Irish]

don't get me wrong I like the play (ALOT) but to a team from Houston 40 feels like 18 below. I am about 3 hours away from Hunnington and its cold slightly rainy and mildly windy. Houston will have to play well to be productive in their style of offense give the conditions.

Hey Irish, I too like the mid-week dogs play but in looking back at the last few games, I think this is 4-4-1 so maybe the tide has turned somewhat? Do you get the same numbers? My notes are a bit messy...

I also am seeing the Houston line down to -7 now (SBG). Anyone else seeing this line drop?

 

[Freddog5]

Thanks for the info guys. Very helpful and just makes me ready for some Tuesday night football.
I have seen the number move but that is not keeping me off of this play.
I see Houston with at least 10+ pt win no matter how I cut it.

Good luck to all!
