General User Member Since: 8/31/2005 Location: United States Post Count: 10,470 Status: Offline     Early point spreads for 10/17    Posted: 10/11/2015 4:45:09 PM  Buffalo at CMU -7 EMU at Toledo -28 Kent State at UMass -5 WMU at Ohio no line yet NIU -15.5 at Miami Akron at BG -10.5 My guess is that Ohio will open up favored by 7-10. There are a couple interesting games this week. Two games feature teams with defenses but lacking in offenses against teams with offenses, but lacking in defenses. In both cases the offenses are favored (BG, UMass) over the defenses (Akron, Kent). “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top Victory General User Member Since: 3/10/2012 Post Count: 2,273 Status: Offline     RE: Early point spreads for 10/17    Posted: 10/11/2015 4:53:46 PM  I'd think that based on what we have seen so far this season Ohio should be -10 or so. Given what happened last year and a lot of returners for both sides you would think they'd win. As it is I expect that Ohio will be a 7 or 8 point favorite. Back to Top L.C.

That seems low, so I wouldn't be surprised to see it rise a little. I believe Ohio has beaten the spread in every game but Akron, and there they only missed by 1/2 point. “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top ytownbobcat General User Member Since: 8/7/2006 Post Count: 1,253 Status: Offline     RE: Early point spreads for 10/17    Posted: 10/11/2015 6:55:01 PM  WMU has a lot of offensive playmakers. They put up a lot of points but they give up a lot too. I hope all of our defenders are healthy. I hope we have another huge crowd at Peden. Back to Top L.C.

It goes to show what I know, the spread is now 3.5. 3.5, or 10, or 15, the goal is the same, a win.

While Ohio has the tiebreaker over Akron, if Akron beats BG they very well could go undefeated the rest of the way, and end up 7-1 in conference. That would mean Ohio could only afford to slip up once. A Zippy win, however, would allow Ohio to win the MAC if they lose to BG, but then BG loses to Toledo, so I'll probably pull for Akron. “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top MariettaCatFanatic General User Member Since: 7/6/2010 Post Count: 417 Status: Offline     RE: Early point spreads for 10/17    Posted: 10/12/2015 8:15:33 AM  I am full on rooting for Akron...I don't think they are solid enough to not have another clunker the rest of the way. BGSU is our main threat for the East. GO BOBCATS!

They have about an 88% chance of being bowl eligible at this point. “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top Showing Replies:   1 - 9  of 9 Posts Jump to Page:   1 View Other 'Ohio Football' Topics                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               WHO'S ONLINE There are 190 Active Visitors on BobcatAttack.com 189 Guests 1 Registered User:   Doc Bobcat There are no other users looking at this page.
