According to BetOnline.ag, here are some of the lines for what will be a very important week for several Big East teams. Rutgers (+8.5) at South Florida - The biggest conference game of the young season and South Florida opens as a touchdown favorite at home. Rutgers hasn't shown a heck of a lot on offense so far this year. South Florida has. BJ Daniels throwing the ball against that aggressive Rutgers will likely decide which team gets a big jump on the Big East race. Connecticut (-3) at Maryland - I can see making Connecticut the favorite because of how well its defense has played against UMass and N.C. State. But, until the Huskies show their offensive line can move some people and run the ball, I'd stay away. Virginia Tech (-13) at Pittsburgh - Honestly thought this number would be higher, and I expect it to grow. Pittsburgh has defensive issues, enormous defensive issues. Especially up front. That's bad news for this week as Virginia Tech will certainly test them by running big Logan Thomas over and over. North Carolina (+4) at Louisville - I'm somewhat surprised the number isn't closer to Louisville -7, mostly because they're the home team and there are questions about both Bryn Renner and Giovani Bernard for North Carolina. Not to mention, the Tarheels are coming off of a loss to Wake Forest. http://www.bigeastcoastbias.com/2012/9/9/3305869/big-east-football-week-three-opening-lines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wow Seems crazy high to me, but I haven't watched a Rutgers game yet. Apparently they've left a lot to be desired. Vegas looks like they agree. I'll take it, but I wouldn't touch this line with a penny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are set to encourage half the world to bet on each team. I expect both lines will move as the action moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would take a 1 point win but would really love a 31 point punch in the mouth win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
