ECU +13.5 (-110 JustBet)

Lets get it.

[Cougar Bait]

MJT, I like this play...a lot more if it gets to 14...but do you always bet on your team?

[Spanks]

I like it too...

[DaColts]

Waiting for 14

[pdx107]

could be a promising play

[rdrunner466]

Loving this play hoping for 14!!

[Dbldown11]

people are so fickle and without reason........no wonder vegas makes so much coin.

Last week people were inexplicably on Va Tech. minus double digits against North Carolina. That spread was waaaaay too high but people still love Va Tech We all know what happend.

Now a week later Va Tech. is playing East Carolina and they are only favored by a couple points more and people like East Carolina? This is how Vegas makes their money. Put out a stupid line on a favorite that people jump on.....the team loses straight up, and the next week you have a low line and people like the dog because they are mad about the team from the previous week.

There is no reason to take East Carolina in the spot.....unless their win over memphis really impressed you.........it's Va. Tech or no play.

No reason? Your write up is missing a lot, it is not that simple. I had NC + 15.5, thought VT was overrrated, looked OK in their 10 pt loss to Alabama but were actually crushed yardage wise, shoulda been a blowout.

I like East Carolina, despite the huge SOS differential. It is a HUGE home national TV game against a recognized BCS quality opponent for them; a pain in the ass non conference game for VT.

By the way, EC covered on the road in a pain in the ass game at Memphis, tells me a lot. (I had Memphis + 6; shit).

EC has enough "O" to keep them in the game VT's defense is not vintage VT, and VT's offense is also sub par, mediocre passing game at best, and EC has decent run defense. Huge game for Skip Holtz and his career.
Take EC + 13.5!

[Dbldown11]

VT's defense is VERY solid, and ECU is gonna have a hard time finding the endzone #1. #2 Memphis sucks ass. #3 These are the spots I've been talking about. You find the undervalue team going against an overvalued team and youll make coin.

In this game VT is undervalued because of last week......and ECU is overvalued because of last week. This one won't be close

[angelodebo]

I agree Dbldown..

I don't love VA Tech. But I will make a small wager on them. I'm guessing East Carolina will struggle against a solid team like VA Tech.

East Carolina got pounded by West Va and UNC. Both those games were on the road, but home field isn't going to help them that much. Esp. now that Va Tech is out for revenge after losing to UNC on national television. I expect Va Tech to a very hungry, aggressive football team.

[kalamity85]

lets not forget that ECU beat Va tech last year to open the season. that adds extra incentive for Va tech to come out strong.

[killakam]

i will wait to see what happens in the 1st half, and will wager on 2nd half.

[xxxvince]

no way ecu can win this

[aekdb1130]

I'm taking ECU +13

Final score prediction: 31-23 Vtech

[khaden]

Your dead on--revenge from last year, poor showing on national tv last thursday, good value on va tech in this spot, they should come out and smach the shit out east carolina.--if va tech would have won last week the line would have been a few points higher and you could see va tech playing flat and looking at this as "a pain in the ass non conference game" but they lost on national tv on thursday--they will be fired up and looking to erase a poor showing last week.

[KUGAMER]

I also like a play on Vtech here. No way they don't show up 2 weeks in a row on National TV. Shouldn't even be close...

[zerodegre]

you would also think that they would not lay an egg at home after off week.. and COMING off a loss .. I take the other route. I think Va Tech may be deflated and giving up on season since BCS in out of the question now.. I take the Pirates here

[Cougar Bait]

If you can run the ball against Virginia Tech, you can be competitive. East Carolina loves to run the ball. The Hokies have given up at least 20 points in 3 of their last 4 games. And ECU has scored 20 points in 4 straight games, and have turned it up a notch lately scoring 49 and 38 their past 2 games. Playing at home, with 9 days to prepare for a Hokie run defense that can be gashed for chunks of yards, it appears likely that ECU will be able to put some points up. Virginia Tech's defense has yielded 34, 26, and 28 points away from home this year. Another thing to think about, with as much as both teams like to run, that leaves the clock running quite a bit as these teams try to impose their will. Taking the points seems like the play to me...consider also that this is THE BIGGEST GAME for ECU all year. Just look at the schedule. Not to mention it's on National TV.

You are right on.. I used similar logic for the score prediction of 31-23.

[JMUplayer]

Why does everyone bring up REVENGE each and every week..... Obviously you haven't played high level athletics....
The only time you thing about revenge is after it happens

[moodyt2]

I'm taking VT -13

[lyon804]

I am on it also. We probably should be worried

[moodyt2]

I'm not putting too much on it.

[JayC]

Teased VT -6 just to be safe, should be a DECENT Thursday night game.

[BrownTown]

Please tell me what is going to drive Va Tech tonight or the rest of the season? They are out of the Nat Champ picture and do they still have a shot to win the conf? This is a huge spot for ECU ... I don't think Va Tech can put up enough points to cover the number

[2PLAYSMAX]

VA Tech 1-3 ATS last 4
ECU 3-1 ATS last 4

I agree that people do over analyze the "revenge" factor or say this or that team "wants" it more. The only relevance is you know the coaching staff is reminding them, do not take this team lightly. They embarrassed you last season. That does take place to make sure teams do not overlook an opponent from an inferior conference.

[smack3179]

East Carolina +13 is the play. Virginia tech is not that good of a team to be favored by 13 points against a decent ECU team. Ecu will cover tonight.

[babyanni]

VA Tech 1-3 ATS last 4
ECU 3-1 ATS last 4

I think the under 51 should be the play... Yes VT is the better team but dont trust Beamer ball to cover double digits against anyone without a blocked punt or fg maybe a defensive score.

The 51pts it's been hovering around seemed high to me as well. Tech's 1st H(team tot) line is 17 pts which could easily fall under.

[FishFace5]

How do u guys take ECU and not buy it up to 14 or at least wait and make sure the line isn't gonna move for u???

[JMUplayer]

I got VT @ 12.5 last night on Intertops

[MJT1212]

DBL down, **** you and your breast cancer awareness canine asshole, you always come into my threads and say the opposite of what I say. If you agree I guess you don't say anything because I've never seen you post anything but negative comments on my threads. Go curl up and die somewhere jerk. Va. Tech or no play? HAH, good one.

Cougar, I don't ALWAYS bet on my team, only when I think it is the right play in which I do here.

Everyone else on ECU, hell yea more power to you, we won't let you down.

Now it's time for me to hit the tailgating field.
