Neither side has positive ROI

On my sheet I'd say about 2/3 of the games have both teams with negative ROI, meaning the line is tight.

Sides that had an ROI of 13% or higher were 11-3 ATS the first 2 weeks which is where I am focusing right now. Although the 3 teams that lost, i was on all 3. Only was on 2 of the 11 teams that covered.

Teams over 13% this week are Syracuse, Northern Illinois, Oregon, Oklahoma, Florida Atlantic, Michigan, New Mexico State, Navy and Bowling Green.

Problem is the 3 teams that didnt cover at 13%+ the first 2 weeks are all in that bunch, Bowling Green, New Mexico State and Northern Illinois. So I'm weary on them, I think the power ratings i am using may be over rating them too much.

What about south Alabama @ Ul Lafayette? Ul is really terrible this year.

i'll be looking at Nebraska, Auburn, Missouri, and San Jose St

Any idea why that game is off the board? Just Bovada being its lame self?

Anybody else like Southern Miss?

First play of the week is Illinois +3 (-105). Their D-line and running backs should control this game. WM was lucky to beat NW and now they are favored on the road against superior athletes?

10-2 YTD

Superior athletes? I would take WMU's skill position players over Illinois any day especially Zach Terrell and Corey Davis. There is a reason they are favored despite playing on the road. I was surprised the line is only 3, my numbers say it should be 8.5. The whole "superior athletes lol better team because Big 10 > MAC" angle is already baked into the line, looks like its worth 3-5 points.

I use both BOL and 5D. Easy to transfer money in and out of both sites
