USF opens as a 5 point favorite

[anglerman]

In the four SU-USF games played in Tampa, each team is 2-2.

What happened historically has no relevance to this game at all. SU is very likely going to destroy this team. This is easily the worst team SU has played this year except for RI. I predict an easy SU victory. This line is absurd.

Put down $200 for me - I'm good for it!

How much is my vig? no bets without figuring out my vig first! :0

Depends if you want upperclass or not...

You know what's funny about this fact? There's a thread on thebullspen with posters commenting we were always considered the homecoming patsy during our time in the Big East. How could we be the homecoming patsy when we won half the homecoming games? :bat:

Another odd line. Penn State -8 vs Indiana. What does sagarin have the sperad on that game at?

- USF is not going to rely exclusively on the running game and the secondary will be tested far more in pass coverage than last week

Wild guess here: you haven't watched USF this year.

If you think the secondary will be tested more by USF than by LSU, you're sorely mistaken. USF has virtually no passing game.

Penn State may be the most bias-towards team this season. Temple is still getting votes in the polls for beating that terrible PSU team.

Couple of books have the line down to 3. O/U finally established at 48.5

Like I said

Dogfight
24-23

We score late and they miss a late FG

I think indiana lost their best player on offense last week

 

[LAOrange]

and they have no crowd.

We travel well but I am still surprised at the size of the Orange section in Florida. There are a lot of SU fans on the gulf coast.

 

[OkieTiger]

good luck this week against usf. this tiger will be cheering for y'all.

 

[Orangello]

They are a young team as well and I don't think their athletes are as good as ours. They don't have much of a home field advantage either. I think the line was a mistake, which is now off the board.

Nothing Vegas does is ever a mistake......

That is not true for an individual line.

 

[690West]

Down to 3 points everywhere now. Where will this number find equilibrium? I bet it falls a tad further as the week progresses.

Seriously this frustrating since I will be in Vegas next week. What is the easiest way to set up an online account? Best site? Least hassles going forward? At least at the present time am only interested in putting a couple hundred on this particular game. Would there be any reason to go through Caesars since that is where I'll be staying? Help. Thanks!

There will be a huge Syracuse contingent from Florida at the game and I'll be one of them. Several years back when Cuse played Florida and all the times that I went to Cuse / USF basketball games, the crowd was nearly 50/50 Cuse USF and vs. Florida it was 40 /60.

You can be guaranteed that there will be LETS GO ORANGE chants! Cuse flexes it's new found muscles, these kids are believing and they've bought in to HCSS madness=wins strategy. We win this one going away!

When I used to occasionally check out what I could hypothetically bet on and never actually bet, of course, because I work for an NCAA institution, I would peruse this site: https://www..ag/sbk/sportsbook4/home.sbk

Yes, but we were still fairly good in those years. We expected to beat USF and didn't do so nearly as much as I would have hoped.

 

[Halfmooncuse]

I was at last USF v SU game in Florida. The USF fans were like at a chucks cheese party. When USF went ahead with a minute plus they got up to leave. I said there's still time. They said they listen to it on the radio. Well SU scored to win and the place was empty except SU fans chanting lets go orange. Great night.

We were anything but good with GRob in charge.

A perfect account of the event!

Spread down to 2.5 at most books now.

And USF was better back then. Even with Skippy running the show
