Some Games I dont Understand Today

some very weird lines today. WOuld like to hear your thoughts why

Texas(-2) at UConn - I expected UConn to be favored in this one. Even though Texas is still #1 and UConn is not ranked, UConn at home should be favored. They have lost 3 of 4 but still thought so.

BYU(-2.5) at SDSU- same deal. BYU is favored but SDSU is VERY good and unbeaten at home. This one is a little more obvious than the first one, but SDSU should be favored in this game.

Marshall(-3.5) over UAB- I agree that Marshall is a very good team and I think they win this game but anyone else surprised to see them favored by this much with UAB usually getting so much love? I think one might be an add later on.

Utah St(-6.5) at Idaho- DOes this line not seem VERY high to anyone? Utah can be favored but should not be more than 3

Duke(-1.5) at Clemson- No clue why Duke is favored in this one.

Eastern KY(-1.5) vs Morehead St- This line should be at least 6. Why is EKU, who is unbeaten at home, only favored by 1.5?


I think that is it lol. Can you tell I am bored? But seriously, these dont make sense at all but I will listen to the argument about Texas being favored since they are still #1, but the others I want to know why

Tejas is ONLY favored because of their recent #1 ranking

Overrated poorly coached team in general

Clemson has a hard time beating Duke even if Duke doesnt come to the game and have for 35 years

so if betting on just what i think are trap lines,

Texas(too close either way)
BYU
Marshall
Utah St
Duke
Morehead St

would be the plays. But I think out of all of those, the only ones I would be comfortable enough to play would be Marshall and maybe Utah St. I think SDSU is the better team, Duke is not that good this year, and how the hell does Morehead St win on the road at EKU? Unreal that line
