Spread Opens SMU 8 pts. > Wave (Rotation nos. 203-204 for Vegas Sheet).

http://www.vegasinsider.com/college-foo ... las-vegas/

SMU (6-5, 3-4 AAC) “body of work” to date:

1) 9/2 – SMU 58, Stephen F. Austin 14;
2) 9/9 – SMU 54, N. Texas 32;
3) 9/16 – TCU 56, SMU 36;
4) 9/23 – SMU 44, Ark. State 21;
5) 9/30 – SMU 49, UCONN 28;
6) 10/7 – UH 35, SMU 22;
7) 10/21 – SMU 31, Cincinnati 28 (OT) ;
8) 10/27 – SMU 38, Tulsa 34;
9) 11/4 – UCF 31, SMU 24;
10) 11/11 – Navy 43, SMU 40;
11) 11/18 – Memphis 66, SMU 45.

Wave goes bowling with a win over SMU.
Memphis scored 66 pts. yesterday on the Ponies. Banks, Hillard, Badie & Brantley should run wild on these guys. And, if our passing game clicks like against Houston together with a good defensive effort, in spite of a good SMU passing attack, we should win this game.

O/U 67.5 pts. Vegas expects a real "fireworks show" beginning at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. Both teams should move the ball but we have a lot more defense then they do. Hopefully Banks we be "on" for Saturday. Since SMU's defense is a joke, and assuming we don't lay an "on the road egg", i.e. FIU, this is another very winnable game for the Wave.

I surprised the line is still +8. I would have thought that was too many points to spot the Wave. Looks like a spot where you can get the points and have a legitimate shot at an outright win.

Line closing SMU 7 pts. > Wave. First movement for the spread from 8 pts. all week; some late money on the Wave. The ESPN Power Index has it SMU 72.7%, Wave 28.3%, but then this is the same Nate Silver group that picked Clinton > Trump. ;)
