Miami (-8) vs. Maryland – The home Hurricanes opened as 12 ½ point favorites over the visiting Terrapins, but the line has been pulled down all week long. It’s currently at 8 points, although a few books are down to 7 ½. The squares are slightly favoring Miami at just better than 50%. Miami is without Jacory Harris, which might mean big trouble for the U. Maryland is one of the leaders in the Atlantic division. They’ve come a long ways from their disastrous 2-10 season last year. The Terrapin rush defense is better than many people think, but the Hurricanes are playing with a chip on their shoulder after losing to Virginia.
Boise State (-21) vs. Hawaii – The Broncos opened as 23 ½ point favorites, but sharps took it down to 21 points early in the week. There was some slight buy back on Boise late in the week, but then the line readjusted to 21 points, which is where it currently stands. The public likes Boise at 55%. The Broncos have been a model of consistency over the past few seasons, and this year is no different. They struggled last week and still destroyed Louisiana Tech. The Warriors are 8-1 against the spread and lead the country in passing yards. Somehow, the only game they didn’t cover was at Colorado. Go figure.
Utah State (-18) vs. New Mexico State – A battle of two bad teams nicknamed “Aggies.” The home Aggies opened as 15 ½ point favorites, but the line has been steamed up to 18 points. The squares really like Utah State, playing them at nearly 90%. The home Aggies were supposed to be decent this year, but have underperformed. The road Aggies were supposed to be terrible this year, and they’ve lived up to expectations.
Oregon (-36) vs. Washington – The Ducks opened as 27 point home favorites, but that has rocketed up to 36 points. The public is still playing Oregon at better than 95%, and sharps have pushed this up, too. The Ducks have made a point of running it up on opponents. They get the Huskies without Jake Locker. Steve Sarkisian might want to run the play clock down to 1 second before snapping on every offensive play. Do you have a better idea?
Louisiana Tech (-2) vs. Fresno State – A battle between two middling WAC teams nicknamed “Bulldogs.” The road Bulldogs opened as 2 ½ point favorites, but the line has been steamed in the opposite direction. Now the home Bulldogs are 2 point favorites. The squares are backing La Tech at over 90%. The road Bulldogs have won their last two games, but they were against New Mexico State and San Jose State. The home Bulldogs have covered the spread in 3 straight games and 4 out of 5.
Missouri (-4) at Texas Tech – The Tigers opened as 6 ½ point road favorites, but reverse action has brought the line down to 4 points. The public is playing Mizzou at 90%, which means the sharps have seen something they like about the Red Raiders. The Tigers got walloped pretty good in Lincoln. Tech got kicked in College Station. Mizzou still has a chance of winning the Big 12 North, but they can’t slip up in Lubbock.
