Updated Saturday Edge posted record 3-3.

Bounceback week last week. always good when you go from a 0-2 week to a 2-0 week. The ECU/Virginia Tech Under was basically stealing at U51. The key there was seeing the ECU/FAU game and seeing ECU’s usually good offense struggle. We knew that VT brought a good defense and a terrible offense. put all of that together and we got an easy under. We took advantage of the books still assuming that ECU offense was good and ECU defense was bad.

2nd game was the GT winner.  Pretty simple explanation there. Teams either play GT triple option attack well or they don’t and it really won’t change. Duke coaching staff has had problems stopping GT and it continued this week. We added that Duke backup QB wasn’t going to be able to keep up with GT’s offense along with an improved GT defense and we got another easy winner.

Arizona St/Stanford U50.5(available at 5dimes/BetOnline/CRIS)

I have not been impressed by Stanford’s offense at all. They struggled quite a bit at times vs San Jose St and Army. Not exactly elite defenses here. Now while they may have been coasting along, I just didn’t like what I saw from them. Arizona St will bring a solid D as we know and while Wisconsin was able to move the ball on them, I believe Stanford does not have as good of an O-line and definitely not as good of a RB stable as Wiscy. On the other end, Stanford’s D is still elite and I think they will do a good job slowing down Arizona St. I could see this turning into a defensive struggle where both team’s try to establish the run early and I really feel one of these offenses wont score over 14 pts and I don’t see either team getting over 30pts, so the under looks good to me.

U50.5 Iowa/WMU

I feel like this is one of those early morning sleepwalk games for Iowa. Coming off a big in-state win over Iowa St. I think you could see some sloppy play here and Iowa having one of those games where their offense isn’t really moving that well. Their run game  is what they hold their hat on and it will run clock plus Ferentz won’t run up the score as they don’t have the offense to do that. WMU played two Big Ten teams already and actually slowed down MSU for most of the game which mean their defense isn’t terrible.  Their offense has only put 17, 13 and 23, with the 23 being vs Nicholls St. I don’t really see WMU having an offensive explosion here. I look for a Iowa 31-13 win here hitting the under.

Michigan St  +7 (buy hook if you can, Bovada/BetOnline has +7 right now)

I really look for this to be a tight game. ND has struggled in their last 2 games albeit on the road, but Michigan St’s defense is legit and I think getting a TD here is going to be too much. While ND has the pieces to be an elite defense. Purdue was able to move the ball on them and we know what Michigan did to them. I really cannot trust ND laying a TD to a very very good defensive team that can battle them in the trenches.
