Decent to great middles available

WVU · Dec 21, 2006

on the Gator bowl. WV is favored by anywhere from 7.5 to 10.5 across the board. The only quarterback to take a snap for Georgia Tech this year is ineligible. Look for WV to run it up against the much less talented Tech team. The total is currently hovering between 47.5 and the opening number of 49.

I will be in Jacksonville for this game. 2 years ago my beloved Mountaineers were trashed by the Seminoles in this bowl and I was there with 12 friends who have become WV fans. I invite all to join the bandwagon, but first lets lock in some tasty middles.

GT alum and season ticket holder here

Your first statement isn't entirely true. Bennett played the entire 2nd half against Duke and looked decent, but yeah, it was Duke. Most GT fans will tell you that they expect a better offensive showing with Bennett than Ball. Hell, it couldn't get much worse honestly.

As for your 2nd statement, I think you're disrespecting GT's defense here. Sure, I'm very worried about WVU's speed, but I trust Tenuta enough to expect it not to be a blowout. GT did lose their best corner to grades also, but we need our front 7 to be making plays, not the secondary.

With all of that said, I like WVU to cover and the over. But I'm really looking forward to the GT D/WVU O matchup.

Great point on the middles though. I've gotta look around.

Those are great middles that I'd love to hit, but i don't want to lock up most of my money for 10 days during this time of year. Wish i had a bigger bankroll. Especially since I just signed up w/ Matchbook (+10.5 -108) and will probably sign up w/ BetMania (-7.5, -107).

Unless I'm blind, I didn't see the game on the board at Mania.

-11 widely available as well as -7.5. these middles are getting even sweeter.

I wouldn't be surprised to see this go -12.5 for a full five point middle.

Apparently at VIP? When I check out SBR Lines (https://www.sbrlines.com/flashII.html), it shows VIP at 7.5 but the only caveat is that SBR Lines doesn't show if the game is pulled OTB, etc. I can't check VIP website (or rather *not* to do so from work) to re-confirm that.

I am able to access SBG and yes, it shows 7.5 but, WVU, you probably should have mentioned that the bet is not open at this time. Just a FYI for others.
