Early Look at the MWC Point Spreads

by Ben Findley on Sep 12, 2011 8:26 PM PDT in Predicting The Season

In order to help gauge public perception of the MWC matchups each week I am going to start doing an early (and hopefully late) look at the offshore MWC line movements each week as posted by covers.com. Opening line in parenthesis.

Boise State -19 (17.5) over Toledoin the familiar position being the ESPN Friday night special. Last two Friday games on ESPN have been barn-burners with the ASU-Mizzou OT thriller and another game that I can't seem to remember on opening week.

CSU +8.5 (9.5) point dogs to CU in the 2011 Rocky Mountain Showdown.

TCU - 28.5 (27.5) over ULM in the home opener that fans would be smart to bring a hard hat to as Amon Carter Stadium is currently a construction zone.

New Mexico is getting far too much credit as only a 20 (19.5) point dog to Texas Techat home. I bet that gets covered by halftime.

SDSU opened as a touchdown fave over Washington State at home but have since dropped to -6.

Wyoming is +8.5 at Bowling Green and UNLV is a 20 point dog at home to Hawaii.

The CSU-CU spread seems a bit high

Seems right to drive betting.

The Sisson loss hurts bad enough to move it 3-4 points. The CSU offense could struggle. They are usually close games though, not sure if I would bet the spread though.
