ULM +46 @ Oklahoma - Ok is pissed, sorry warhawks
Troy +36 @ Clemson - they need style points and chasing a heisman
Ark St. +18 @ Auburn - would have loved that opening line of 11
GA St + 17 @ Air Force - GA St.'s defense plays all four quarters
Idaho +36 @ Washington - Idaho struggles to score
GS +13 @ USA - USA covers
ODU +21 @ App - I don't bet on App games

Sun Belt play of the week is unfortunately Oklahoma over ULM big.

GSU long arms batted down passes on first two series resulting in interceptions and Ball State's QB is 6'6". AFA QB is 5'10". Load the box with 8 and lets roll!

Does Air Force run a version of the triple option?

Yeah. The kind of team that throws it 50 yards if you put 8 in the box.

They handled you all pretty well. Maybe that will translate into a win this week if they can rely on a similar game plan and get some help with unforced turnovers.

We can't put our defense on the field for 13 series. That's for sure.

If Linehan fixes whatever weird anomalous throwing issue he had on Thursday and if UW comes out complacent we'll cover the spread. That's as excited as I can get for this game.

I know what the Jaguars did last week, but 13 seems like an awful lot to give GS.

Yeah... that line wasn't posted correctly. GS is giving 13.

I'd wait and see if the masses bet that down due to USA's upset and then jump all over the Eagles if they only have to give up 11 or so.

There was a whole lot of money put on Auburn between Friday and Saturday. Yeah, I had a feeling that would happen.

Oh! That makes more sense. (Although now I'm trying to figure out if I think that's a lot to give USA.)

EDIT: Oh, and for GSU...the general rule, as far as I can tell, is in OOC games, bet on us against the spread, unless we're favored, in which case you should bet for us to lose outright.

I don't think I have ever seen a betting line as high as 46. Anyone think ULM can keep it less than that? ULM should be a good wager.

21 seems alittle high for the App game

Can't recall a spread that high for an FBS vs. FBS matchup off the top of my head. Our first season, the game vs. Alabama might have had one in the 50s. I'd have to do some searching to see for sure.

EDIT: Checked it out and it looks like the spread was actually "just" 45 that year. However...our somehow-even-worse 2013 team (in our second transition year, so technically FBS by many folks' perspective) was apparently a 56.5-point dog to Bama. Here are some of Alabama's biggest spreads from a few years ago...

I think I'd take Idaho there. Not buying the Washington hype.

Yea, App is favored. By a lot. They should be. But I'd agree that 21 is a pretty high spread.

FL State was favored by 72 over some obscure FCS school either last year or the year before. I took the points and barely won.

Well they just beat Rutgers by 35 with a QB that is similar to Linehan and their coach regularly tried RUTS when he was at BJC, so I'm putting my money on UW.

Probably because we beat them 49-0 at their place last year.
