Big East Football Betting Poll
As we prepare for another great week of action on the gridiron, we take a look at how the teams in the Big East are faring thus far over the course of the year.
1: South Florida Bulls (1-1 ATS, 1-1 SU) – No one in this conference is perfect ATS, but at least the Bulls are close. The Skip Holtz era has started off well, as USF has a dominating win over Stony Brook and a respectable loss in the Swamp against the Gators that was a heck of a lot closer than the final score indicates.
2: Connecticut Huskies (1-1 ATS, 1-1 SU) – Getting destroyed in the Big House didn’t set the Huskies back too far in football betting action. Opening up a massive can on Morgan State will help soothe the pains. A trip to the City of Brotherly Love this week could prove treacherous, as Temple is for real.
3: Syracuse Orange (1-1 ATS, 1-1 SU) – What’s the key to getting the Orange a cover? Play a team like Akron which barely deserves to keep its FBS status! Want proof of just how bad Syracuse is right now? They failed to cover a near two TD spread at U-Dub who went into the game 1-9 ATS the L/10 times it was favored at home.
4: Pittsburgh Panthers (0-1-1 ATS, 1-1 SU) – Better times will come for the Panthers one of these days, but that loss in OT to Utah is going to sting for awhile. The ‘Stache still has something special in Dion Lewis.
5: Cincinnati Bearcats (0-2 ATS, 1-1 SU) – Taking care of Indiana State 40-7 was a lot more costly for the Bearcats than just another loss against the football betting lines; Vidal Hazelton has been lost for the season. The Butch Jones era has gotten off to a rocky start
6: Rutgers Scarlet Knights (0-2 ATS, 2-0 SU) – One of the few teams in the nation that is 2-0 SU but just 0-2 ATS, Rutgers has played some dominating ‘D’ this year… But what gives with the 50 points scored in two games against two duds?
7: West Virginia Mountaineers (0-2 ATS, 2-0 SU) – If the Mountaineers are going to challenge for the 2010 Big East title, they need to prove they can beat teams like Marshall without the use of overtime. Geno Smith needs some work, but Noel Devine is still absolutely the real deal.
8: Louisville Cardinals (0-2 ATS, 1-1 SU) – The Cards might have lost the battle of the state of Kentucky, but they did pick up the first win of the Charlie Strong era last week in relatively tenuous fashion over Eastern Kentucky. Good luck this week in Corvallis, Louisville – You’re gonna need it!
