Thursday Night Football

Been staring at this one all week:

North Carolina +5.5 +101 (Matchbook), 1 unit to win 1.01 units

Even after the home thrashing by Fresno State, Rutgers is still getting the love from its 2006 season. To paraphrase Rick Pitino, "Ray Rice is not walking through that door!" Changing the slideshow pictures on the left to UNC and Rutgers pictures is the absolute upper limit of my computer skills. Enjoy.

Looking at the betting percentages and line movements last night, I jotted down this list of possibilities for Saturday:

New Mexico State +25 at Nebraska
Tulane +13 v. ECU
South Carolina +7 v. Georgia
Rice +7 at Vanderbilt
Nevada +26.5 at Missouri
NC State +18.5 at Clemson
New Mexico +10 v. Arizona
Western Kentucky +28 at Alabama
Washington +20 v. Oklahoma

We won't be playing all of these (and might play some that aren't on this list), but these were situations where the public was definitely on one side all week and the line either stayed fixed or even moved in the other direction. Gonna try to have at least a few of the weekend plays up tomorrow for a boring Friday afternoon at work.
