game of the week
Arizona St +3 at Oregon

ASU has blown out Iowa, one of the best defenses in the Big 10 and easily beat Oregon st who should have beaten LSU.
Too much is being put on the ASU running back situation, the fact is that all Andrew Walter does is throw TDs. devils are for real this year, they roll this week and get ready for USC on Oct16

I'm on Oregon at -2.5 (bought the half point).

In both college basketball and football, I always play the games where an unranked team is favored over a ranked team. They seem to cover the spread over 60% of the time. THe reason being is that "average Joe" sees a ranked team getting points and bets on them, thus keeping the line lower than it actually should. This adds extra value to the unranked side of the line.

Already 1-0 today with Virginia Tech in the exact same situation.

I do sometimes, but I really was not liking Oregon after thier performances this year.

We will see, I guess.

The spread looked nice but I decided on just betting on ASU to win outright and am glad I did. ASU is really looking awesome this year and was surprised to see them as underdogs.

Can't win them all but what I said is true. It happens more in college basketball than football which is why it's my favorite sport to bet on. It comes up about 30 times every basketball season.

ASU looked very good last night.

that's more true, imo. That and basketball seems easier for underdogs to pull the upset.

They are actually favorites (not underdogs) but ESPN likes to call it an upset when the ranked team loses.
