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.
 
I wish I didn’t live in NY. Would take UNLV and lay the points. Probably would increase line to -9.5.
 
I didn’t watch the Holy Cross game because I knew it’d be a bit painful. IMO very little to take from an FCS game like that after a tough loss. Coaches should be trying a lot and getting as many looks as they can. Not the win we wanted but we’re 3-1
 
Hoping us moneyline gets up to +200 I want to go big and then soak in the sun with house money on Saturday at stadium swim.

Can’t bet this until I get home from Texas Tuesday night looks like no sports betting there.
 
Back down to -2.5 at Fanduel. Early money this morning is on the Orange
 
This is why I don’t bet on sports.
It doesn’t make sense to me that they’d be better with their backup. He looked good yesterday but he’s not as good as Haynes King and we did well against him. He’s a running QB without a lot of experience. Hopefully we can take advantage of that.
 
I’d bet the ranch on UNLV.
I always preface by saying we could lose. If we play like GT we win. Like Stanford 50/50, any thing worse we can lose.

it’s too easy to look at a 59-14 score vs a team like Fresno (with a good rep) and say UNLV is too good.

Fresno D is bad!!! Sacramento State (FCS) put up 470 yards on Fresno! New Mexico put up 485! Both had close to 350 through the air! Both had MORE yards than UNLV vs Fresno. UNLV is good but Fresno made them look great. What is McCord going to get? I would bet 350+ again.

3 keys to the game.

-No unforced interceptions for Kyle.
-Send 5 and run blitz, no more 3 man rush.
-Don’t play soft vs their receivers. White is AA caliber an Dejesus is great in open field. Press cover and play D like vs GT.

their QB was 13/16. Can’t give him time.

And just like that back up to -3.5. The Sunday morning line volatility has commenced!!
 
Only 2.5? You have got to be kidding me! Did Vegas watch their own home game?
They got a bunch of dorks coming to town to lay some money on the Orange.

The pressure rush sure seemed to help things on D!

I resemble the first part of that sentence, but not the second.

3 missed FGs and losing Saturday by the hook means I have implemented a new don't bet Syracuse policy.
 
SU needs to play consistently with quickness especially on the O-line and D-line. It might make sense to simplify on both sides so that guys can think a little less and react more quickly up front. We have athletes on both sides but they are learning a lot. At this point you kind of know what they do well and where the growth edge is. Having fun while playing happens when guys are comfortable in what they are doing. When they become really good in what they are doing then you pick your spots in adding more.

I think I've bet on a Syracuse team maybe twice since 2015 or so when a really bad St John's team beat us in basketball. I hated getting that mad at guys I liked. Lol
 
UNLV looks pretty damn good and they do have two road wins against Big 12 teams but they are two Big 12 teams who stink and have a combined 2 wins this season. We need to play like we did against Georgia Tech, minus the hideous special teams gaffes, and we win the game. If we play like the last two weeks we will lose. This team needs to focus, guys like OG need to wake the hell up, Robinson needs to put the heat on their QB and we might as well let the Oh kid try any field goals, even his miss yesterday looked way better than any kick Brady has had this year, even the ones he made
