Say what you want about Michael Irvin, but he won a championship at every level. Every. Level. St. Thomas Aquinas high school, University of Miami, Dallas Cowboys

We will certainly start a Draft thread soon to talk about that. Ja'juan James was solid, but 2013 Tennessee Vol Dallas Thomas? Not so much. Great call with the Wisky ML yesterday. I didn't have the balls to do the ML.

It will close with Duke the favorite.

Gotcha re: the TV station. Oh well, I'm stuck watching it where I'm at on the Kentucky feed. Awesome.

I'm watching it on TNT. It should be unbiased, it's a national telecast.

I get that Rex Chapman went to Kentucky, but call an impartial game. Goddamn, he's telecasting it like he's a fucking cheerleader. It is extremely unprofessional and hard to watch unless you're a Kentucky fan.

Wisconsin is handling Kentucky's bigs well so far. With Towns having 2 fouls, I'm not sure we see him until the second half.

Mo, it was my impression we all like Wisky today. Maybe I'm wrong. And yeah, we all liked Ole Miss. It was the sexy, trendy dog.

Duke 72 Michigan State 65

The last time this entire board liked a dog, I believe it was Ole Miss +3 against TCU... Tread lightly.

Line is now -1.5 everywhere. I expect to see -2 by tipoff. I want to reiterate that this should be as close to a Temple home game that you will find. Plus, Miami will be hard pressed to match the intensity it took for them to come back down 18 in the second half at Richmond. One thing about The U is it is consistently inconsistent all season long. Check Miami's schedule, they follow up big games with clunkers. Temple is 14-3 the last 17, with two of those losses against a ranked SMU team Temple simply doesn't match up well against.

Zach Thomas. Yes, he made 7 Pro Bowls, but he is not even discussed for the HOF and that guy's motor was incredible. He doesn't get the credit he deserves.

Miami's only real post threat is Jekiri, so I expect the Owls to be fine and to out score Miami in the paint. Miami relies too much on outside shots, when they win, they're falling, but I always get the feeling during Miami games that they make it so much harder on themselves than their opposition. GL either way, but I like this play a lot. I also expect MSG to be quite pro-Temple.

I thought this would be Temple -3'. Temple has been a different team since 3 transfers joined and Miami is awfully thin upfront. I think this is the type of game that Miami matches up poorly defensively. I'd hammer it at Temple -1 now because it's not going to drop. GL

Great line, ajt. Ole Miss +3.5 for me.

VT knocks off Duke! More motivation for Miami tonight.

Not that Miami needs any more motivation, but if VTech can beat Duke (they're up 17-16 in the 4th), Miami can win the ACC Coastal by winning out, making tonight's game even more important.

Line just got popped and you can get FSU -1.5 at many outs such as Bookmaker, Heritage, etc etc. You guys still sure it closes at -3?

Are you going to the game? I'll be tailgating from around 4pm until kickoff with seats in row one of the upper deck on the 50. I'll admit the line seems off, so I laid off the side since I thought the total should have opened around 68. I usually don't like betting the side and total of the same game.

FWIW, Bagiant, I don't think KC -2 is a trap at all. I fully expect the Chiefs to beat a banged up Seattle squad in the blistering cold of Arrowhead, where they are a much better team than on the road (and, of course, Seattle is not nearly the same on the road). I'd be surprised if Seattle wins.

Just curious, what is the wait for those who can move the line to do so? Do they really think the line is going back down from -2.5 to -2? I think it would have been popped by now. In any event, the total is now a comfy 63 and climbing. That, I can assure you, will not be going down. 63 is a key number so I'd get it now if you're going to get the OVER like I advised a couple days ago here.

Crowd will be just fine. This isn't your typical Miami home game. Don't let white noise such as crowd attendance have any bearing on your decision to bet this game.

Over 62 is the play here, guys. Oh and go Canes. I'll be at the game rooting it home.

*Triple option (not offense)

Miami Hurricanes +115 New York Jets +6.5 Miami's defense is rather deplorable, but not against a gimmicky triple offense, which doesn't work well against speed teams like Miami. Miami seems to have GT's number and, most importantly, Brad Kaaya is legit. Phillip Dorsett was invisible against Duke and I expect a few deep pass opportunities his way tonight. If you don't like Miami, I suggest the OVER. This is mainly a bet getting + money on a team with more talent and a better scheme fit. As for the Jets, this is a desperate team and I look for desperate teams that have talent. The Jets damn near went into Green Bay and were about to be 2-0 when they imploded. Then, a bad start against Chicago was too much to overcome. This team could easily be 3-1 right now, but for dumb mistakes. Will they be fixed? I trust a desperate team to play more focused, knowing they can't go 1-4 with Denver up next. I would not be surprised whatsoever if the Jets win outright.
