1. Sounds like some great info to consider. Combining your info with mine: I don't think the Baylor or Ball State games are good bets, but UNC has a slight possibility and Washington State will most likely do it.

   Also, I think that donbest.com has a score board that you can check all the old date's games, lines, scores, etc.

2. Looks like only one game meets that criteria this week...Kentucky +24 at home against Georgia. YUCK!

3. Since I don’t feel like doing a thing at work today, figured I’d update the info on home dogs getting 20+. Thanks to Po Man for telling me where I could get previous lines. By my count, there have been 22 games with this situation, with the home dog going 14-7-1.

   10/30 – Baylor (+25) v. Texas A&M, 35-34, W by 26

   Last week, two of the four won outright, with Ball State falling in OT (prior week MSU won outright). A few notes:

   • Of the 14 wins, ten teams have covered by 10 or more points

   • Of the 22 total games, the home dog has led at the half five times and eight other times has trailed by 10 or less (plus Houston covered at the half v. Miami, so most likely 14 of the 22 games covered at the half)

   • Conference games are 11-3-1, while non-conference games are 3-4

   This week, as mentioned, looks like there’s one on the board, Kentucky (+24) v. Georgia.

4. The more I look at this Kentucky game, the more i like it. Georgia coming off a big win vs FLA but still feeling like losers after getting little respect in the BCS poll AND facing the mighty AUBURN TIGERS next week.

   Classic sandwich game, GA will play flat and win by 10-14 pts.

   You talked me into it
