Marshall -7 1/2 vs Southern Miss

[cocky jeremy]

Keys to the game: Pass defense and no offensive turnovers. We win those battles, we win. If not, gonna be a long, wet, shitty night.

We are ranked 4th in the nation in pass efficiency defense (4th!!!!!), so your argument holds no weight. You'll excuse me if I defer to actual statistical analysis over your opinion as to whether or not we are good in "coverage."

Pretty sure that i listed some relevant statistics for analysis. On average, the teams we have played are some of the worst passing teams in the country. I believe that has contributed to our lofty statistical ranking. Not sure what about that holds no weight?

It's not just opinion my that our corners aren't doing a great job of covering the other teams outside receivers. It's been said by many more people than me, game after game this season, how lucky we are the opposing qbs couldn't hit open receivers.

Don't get me wrong, I hope I'm incorrect in my assessment.

@chaseboogiexiv is going to light up their secondary! Look for a big night out of the o &
The d will play well as usual. The return of Rock & remi makes a huge difference!
Go HERD!

I think Tony Pittman is better then Remi

pintcan has the telling stat of the thread. We will be able to defend their passing attack better than all of their opponents other than Miss St. If we have Rockhead, Pittman & Remi on the field, that will take some pressure off of Litton. He is getting better game by game, & we are @ home. Mix in the top shelf play we have been getting from our Special Teams & you have a formula for a big W.
One other note - you guys do realize the betting line has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH PREDICTING THE OUTCOME OF THE GAME, RIGHT?? My more educated betting brethren can do a better job of 'splaining than I, but basically the point spread coming down means that there has been a lot of wagers on Marshall. By bringing down the spread, Vega is wanting more bets for USM. Ultimately Vegas wants to break even, Then they cash in on the "house edge", the $10 (example $110 wagered to win $100) per bet that they will collect no matter who wins or loses. So, I hope you have enjoyed this edition of W-S rants...stay tuned for more!

Wouldn't the spread dropping mean more were taking southern miss at 7 1/2, thus it was lowered so more would take marshall and get more money on the marshall side? To even things out?

I think you have it reversed.

(via "GetMoreSports.com", Oct 5):

Passing offense vs Pass defense

• USM passing (14th) vs Marshall pass defense (16th)
• Marshall passing (97th) vs USM pass defense (85th)

Rushing offense vs rush defense

• Marshall rushing (95th) vs USM rush defense (105th)
• USM rushing (59th) vs Marshall rush defense (92nd)

Should be a fun game to watch in the rain.

Stone - you are most likely correct.......I never can get it right! I can, however understand the over/under concept.... ;D)

The line coming down means more people are betting on Southern Miss.

I thought that Remi is out for the season, or at least for the long term. Does anyone know if he will dress for Southern Miss game?
