UNLV opens -2.5 over Cuse….

[kirbivore]

I don't trust this coaching staff and I think UNLV is playing with this phluck you energy towards that departed QB. I see this game getting out of hand quickly. UNLV first half and UNLV full game.

ESPN Analytics has 79.3% that UNLV will win.

ESPN Analytics are the worst predictor model. They currently have Syracuse as the underdog in EVERY game the rest of the season.

There is literally no result of this Fridays game that would surprise me. I could see either team winning comfortably or either team winning a nail biter.

Fresno threw 4 picks. And Baldwinsville’s defense is better than Fresno. As fans we overreact, Vegas doesn’t.

Bingo, the comparative scores syndrome……. Uconn is a top 4 seed for playoff
Uconn pounded UB
UB beat Northern Illinois
Northern Illinois beat ND
ND is favored to make playoff easy.
Hence Uconn is king

Maybe we should be. Except UConn.

And is now at -3.5. I had a feeling there would be zero home field adjustment. -3.5 is a neutral field line. We’ll see where it goes from here.

VERY encouraged by the opening line. Unlike what some here believe, Vegas does not "give away easy money" or disrespect teams.

 

[690West]

Up to -4.5 at many books.

 

[MikeSU02]

The teams UNLV beat to go 4-0 have a total of five wins.

It's not apples to apples, but our opponents have nine.

Let's not crown UNLV just yet.

This is a little silly. Besides the fact we have a HC and DC who are new to their position. They’ve collectively made more adjustments in 4 games between games and during games than we saw in the previous 3-4 years combined.

I hadn’t even read the rest of your post. So your other reasoning is two weeks after their QB controversy, the whole team is going to be so hyped still over some perceived slight that impacts the entire team. They’re going to play 4 quarters of football with this angry energy we’ll have no chance.

I mean, you really wrote that with a serious face?

Make the new kid beat us with his arm. Keep everything in front play them like GT and we win

I’d be playing an 8 man front with a single high safety early.

McCord has to be crisper, cut out the picks.

He was just a chucker the last game.

Wait...even UConn?

It’s bad enough how far ahead of us their basketball program is. I can’t emotionally handle a football loss to them.

Wow, people here take a lot of stock in espn analytics. Said we are underdog g in all remaining games…… NC State 179 yards vs N. Illinois, got 4 turnovers to eke out 7 pt win. Got obliterated by Tenn and Clemson, best game was 17 pt win over FCS. I think their analytics have broke .

I said this in another post: they are not a bad team, and seem to be improving weekly.

We will need to play well to win that game.

2 picks

one was a force because it was almost half and it was try that throw or chuck even worse one next.

the other was a forced 3rd and long for sure. but the LB read the play well

Some of you need to relax. We're 3-1, and 1 bad play call away from being 4-0, and easily in the top 25. Vegas knows how good of a team we are. Like I said in the other thread this will open at 3.5 and move to 5.5 due to the over reaction from UNLV's win last week. I think this is going to come down to a late 4th quarter drive, and Cuse winning by 3. If we actually put a full game together it won't be that close.

 

[orangenauburn]

Just win and get that second top 25 win in five games.

Not many teams in the country can say they beat two ranked teams (even if GaTech is not ranked now).

It's amazing we went from receiving votes for weeks to dropping off the map completely after losing to Stanford on a last second field goal.

It's so fickle.

I'm all for that! Putting a full game together that is!

Tons of money coming in Rebel. Up to -6.5 everywhere.

Only way the line could move towards cuse is if it was leaked that we had any starters back. Barnes, zeed etc

 

[Sherman20]

Why did we schedule this (away) game? I don’t get the rationale.

If memory serves wasn't this the game we had to fill last minute because another team backed out?
