USF opens as a 5 point favorite

[cuse309]

Its a good line. Dungey is hurt, we have a very young team on the road for the first time. They need a win, they have really good athletes much better rated than ours. Tough game.

TAKE THE POINTS!!!

I wish there was a "dislike" button. You make good points though.

 

[OrangeinBoston]

Hmmm... Maybe Dungey & Philips aren't back? The tweet "all in good time" isn't great...

 

[upperdeck]

explain BC being a 10 pt favorite over wake. they have barely scored 10 pts in last 3 games. only 24 vs maine in game one.

Welp, all hail Cuse because I just refinanced my house on the Cuse moneyline. the points.

Looking to build a house...

i worry about all of them, but the next two are not my big concern. I am worried about getting to 5-1 and then not being able to get the 6th. The 2011 syndrome. Just don't know with kids, injuries etc.

Stats aren't everything, especially at this time of the year, but they aren't nothing either and just about every stat i look at heavily favors the Cuse. Assuming we have Dungey and Erv back, we will be at full strength. USF is like Pitt, always recruit well but never meet the potential. Somebody smarter than me will have to explain that.

This line is the best thing that could have happened. Shafer will use it to get our guys fired up.

Could not agree more. Going in as a Dog is huge for HCSS and the staff.

May not be a good assumption.

We got this by 17... All day.

You got inside info?

 

[upperdeck]

you dont find that many times where the pt spread deviates so much from the sagarin numbers this one is off by close to 10 pts.

 

[CanadianSU]

You got inside info?

nope!

 

[OrangeinBoston]

nope!

Well, my point is made...

 

[jekelish]

I'm 90% sure Dungey will be back. Possibly willing to bump that up to 95%.

I hope you are right, but based on what? The indigestion that hot dog you had for dinner gave you?

Based on someone I know who told me that he should be good to go.

OK, is that person close to the program? Or was he tending bar at the Orange?

You're ridiculous.

Yes, someone who is in position to know.

Thank you. There is a lot of nonsense that is thrown around on this board. Witness the Canadian's post that had absolutely no basis in fact. If the person is in a position to know, that's great. And I buy it.

Barring some unforeseen setback, I'm expecting to see Dungey on Saturday. I'm keeping it at 90% or so just because I don't like dealing in absolutes when it comes to injuries.

I think I heard HCSS say that the team wouldn't even practice until late in the week...Thursday I think. Spending time in the weight room and working on getting healthy.

One poster reported that he talked to ED at the Dino right after the LSU game. ED said he was ready to play.

From what I was told, he PROBABLY could have played in an emergency against LSU.

Do you know if he even dressed? Was he up in the box with Lester?

Line is crazy. I expected us as a 3-5 point favorite. It shows you what Vegas thinks the betting publics perception of us.

There was a whole season back in 05 or 06 when Rutgers was beating the spread every week because the lines were so low because the public refused to bet on them.

That's where we are now. We should a great value the rest of the season. We are 3-1 ATS so far this year.

Honestly I don't even remember. There's no chance in hell he was going to play, though. But I was told that he was feeling good. I haven't heard any updates in a few days, but last I heard he was doing well and coming along as expected.

That bye week was perfectly timed--both for Dungey and for Philips.

ED took a brutal hit against CMU; glad we had some extra time with the bye / took some extra time with LSU game week to give him a full three weeks to recuperate.
