Because of political unrest, Syria has been playing it's "home" matches in Malaysia. That's right - Malaysia. This is the first leg of home and home matches between Syria and Australia. A lot of predictions are looking at a low-scoring match on a bad pitch. In Australia, some pundits are not very happy with the job that the coach has done and the Socceroo's are missing one of their best players. Add it all up and I think either side would be happy with a draw here. I'll take the underdogs and the half goal.
Syria +.5 -115

If Syria manages to score first, you're practically guaranteed they're going to park the bus, especially with Away goal tiebreaker in two-legged tie.
i.e. they want to make sure Aussies score zero on the road.

Oooooof. Variance catching up to me. 0-4
Couple of 50/50 plays in these games away from profit.

Steam chasers advertising that they're stream chasers (in Vegas of all places). Sounds legit

Overreaction Thursday? It's the Jets for Pete's sake. They did look really good when I was watching in the 1st period

Armenia has lost last 3 matches by combined 10-2 against Montenegro, Denmark, Romania. Armenia has nothing to play for besides pride.
Poland is 4-1-1 in last 6 matches but that one loss was a terrible match vs Denmark which means they need this W.
Poland TT ov 2.5 -105
Not sure Armenia gets on the board so I like the TT more than the match ov 3.5.

The whole penalty vs Komarov for his visor was stoopid. If you're gonna make an example out of someone, pick someone who isn't grandfathered to play without visor. Is NHL saying they'd rather he'd play with no visor than "illegal" one? Sounds like they're setting themselves up for a CTE lawsuit in a decade.

Anyone know the $$ is coming in on this game?

61% on the Ville per odds shark. Perusing Twitter public looking at the -3 as a comfy cover from what I'm seeing. I think we wait to see if Ville backers can get us the hook for free,
NCST +3.5

Defense played better against Wisconsin, getting healthier. Fitz has owned Franklin (both at PSU and Vandy). I think NU has won last 2 vs. Penn State. Its homecoming.
From what I hear Indiana played PSU fairly tough outside the turnovers and non-off TD's. PSU's OL isn't that great.
Having said this, NU's OL is absoutely brutal, Jackson is banged up (wish I took under rushing last week, prob a good play this week as Larkin getting more carries). Thorson hasn't improved like they thought he would but is due for a better game if he can find time to throw.
Its definitely not one of my bigger plays at all. I lean under as well with the weather and hoping NU D can contain Barkley somewhat. I don't think NU scores much, similar to Wisconsin game. I was thinking maybe a 24-14 game. Wouldn't surprise me at all if NU wins, they put it all together at least a few times a year after looking silly against weaker teams. And a 38-7 PSU victory wouldn't shock me at all with no OL, and a few turnovers and special teams TDs.

Are the odds makers just ####### with me? Washington State opened +2 to +2.5 vs Oregon. It's now WSU -2.5 but I pounced at the open and hold WSU +2. For the life of me, I cannot understand this opening line. Oregon's going with either a QB (Taylor Alie, who can't throw a forward pass with any accuracy) that was converted to WR but thrust back into QB action after 2 high recruits transferred because they were stuck behind Hebert or a true freshman QB who had to burn his redshirt last week because Alie was concussed. The drop-off from starter to back-up QB in Oregon's history has been an abysmal failure - see the Alamo Bowl vs TCU or injuries to Mariota, Dennis Dixon, Kellen Clemons in the past. The offense seems to go from Ferrari to Geo every single time.
And now red hot Washington State comes in, fresh off a USC victory last Friday? A team that donkey punched Oregon last year and won in Eugene two years ago as 17 point dogs? A team with a Heisman contender at QB, a sound run game and a defense that sealed the victory over USC?
I don't get it. I mean, I'm going to the game on Saturday, I'll be rooting for the Ducks, but I am astonished that oddsmakers listed the Ducks as favorites early in the week. Makes me worry a bit holding this big WSU +2 ticket. Call it the misery hedge, but I don't see any way the Ducks win this game with a back-up QB. Not against this WSU team.

I don't think they're making it up. Steam chasing is miserable, you're glued to the screen watching line moves and because you didn't make your own number you must rely on the knowledge of others so you can't walk away from the screen and miss a move. It's awful, I've tried it.

My guess is that's why they're in Vegas and that's why they mention $500 bets. The bankroll they mention they should be making significantly larger bets.
