NCAAF Week 6 Notes

Again, just to reiterate: As of Friday afternoon, these are games that I have not bet. I am simply sharing some of my notes that may, perhaps, assist in your handicapping as you break down the College Football Week 6 card.

Florida International +3.5 vs Charlotte – The Panthers are finally back home after three rough results the road, and facing a weak Charlotte rush defense. The problem is that Florida International has showed little resistance in the recent losses and I can’t back them right now.

Buffalo +6 at Kent State – The Bulls appear to have value at the number, but I’m honesty not sure what to make of Kent State. We will find out more about the Flashes here.

Utah +3 at USC – On paper, this game is a tossup which makes Utah playable at anything greater than +3 but the line is moving in the opposite direction. We have still yet to see the Utes play a solid 60 minutes of football.

West Virginia +3 at Baylor – The Mountaineers staunch rush defense should give them a good chance to win this road game. It’s a coin flip game, but we’re not getting enough points to push this into the play column.

Ohio +5 vs Central Michigan – The Bobcats finally beat someone last week and perhaps that gets Ohio going. If so, they can hang with, and perhaps beat, Central Michigan in this spot. But I’m not yet willing to back Ohio with my cash.

This week’s football card currently consists of three college and three in the NFL. Here’s one of the colleges. All the rest on my @WagerTalk home page, https://t.co/crCpGZvtUv pic.twitter.com/0TNPQqSn3m
