Default Most over inflated spread

Western Kentucky -16.5 vs North Texas. Oddsmakers are trying to help North Texas cover a spread. If North Texas is the worst team in college football, than Western Kentucky is not too far behind. This is way too many points for a bad team like western kentucky to cover. Anyone have an opinion on this game?

I have some doubts in the -16.5 with you. I did a small teaser for -9.5. North Texas has been terrible ATS the last, since I can remember.

I would add 7 to north texas than taking western kentucky at -9.5. Western Kentucky has scored 13 or less points in 5 of the 8 games this season. Western Kentucky has been unable to stop the run in their last 4 games. Western Kentucky has given up 225, 200, 151 and 216 yards rushing in those 4 games.

The last time North Texas won a game was against western Kentucky. North Texas defeated WK 27-26. I just think 0-8 North Texas is going to be more up for this game than is the 2-6 Western Kentucky. I think this may be the upset of the week between two very bad football teams.

Not yet. Those players are still on the team. No suspensions yet. Those 15 will be re-tested again and again. And they are still playing this week

I'm all over N. Texas. I don't care if they have to use intramural players to fill all the roster spots, you can't give an awful team like WKU that high of a spread.

Also, this will be the one week I play on Wash. St. There isn't a FBS team that Stanford should be favored by 30. I may make itty-bitty ML bets on Wash. St. and N. Texas, if my dumbass sportsbooks even offer it.
