THE RED SHEET
NOVEMBER 9, 2024 VOLUME 56 - NUMBER 11
INDIANA 47 - Michigan 17 - (8:00 EST) -- Line opened at Indiana minus 14, and is still minus 14. No question that,
along with Vanderbilt, we've had a season-long relationship with these Hoosiers, who have come in like
clockwork, with current 0-9 SU run, & while 7-0 ATS by +26, +9½, +7, +4, +42½, +8, & +29 pts,
rising to 8th in the polls, with QB Rourke 2nd only to OleMiss Dart, in Passing Efficiency. As readers
are aware, we backed off a bit when he had thumb trouble, but he was front-&-center in LW's 47-10
rout of MichiganSt (4 TD passes). Depleted Wolves haven't sniffed a road cover, & won't start in this.
RATING: INDIANA U 89
TULANE 55 - Temple 13 - (4:00) -- Line opened at Tulane minus 27, and is still minus 27. Quite a hefty spread load for
most any team to be carrying, but Greenies, who stumbled out of early gate (34-27 & 34-19 losses to
KansasSt & Oklahoma), following the departure of all-time Wave QB Pratt, have certainly turned it all
around, with 6 straight wins, along with 5-1 ATS run, breaking loose with back-to-back-to-back romps
with a 157-63 pt edge, along with a 260-113 pt advantage in their last 6 outings. Owls are lost on the
road, allowing 43.5 ppg in this year's travels, with loss here eliminating them from any playoff hopes.
RATING: TULANE 89
TENNESSEE 59 - Mississippi State 20 - (7:00) -- Line opened at Tennessee minus 25, and is now minus 24. Don't
particularly enjoy carrying such a heavy load (along with Tulane), but that's the way things shook out.
The Vols have been one of the most potent squads in the land, since the arrival of Heupel in '21,
reaching 40 pts on 23 occasions. Not only that, but Volunteer defense has been the unnoticed uncle,
while ranking 4th, 6th, 5th in total, rushing, & scoring "D". Exact opposite for Bulldogs: 127th "D".
RATING: TENNESSEE U 88
Byu 37 - UTAH 20 - (10:15)-- Line opened at BYU minus 5, and is now minus 3½. Finally a spread which just ensures
that the stat winner also conquers the line. The Utes have been a perennial power, ever since the
arrival of Urban Meyer in 2003. Eighteen bowls in a 22-yr span, with 10 double digit win campaigns.
The downer? How about 5 straight bowl losses, with LY's 8-5 mark beneath the norm. Even more of
the same TY: 1 cover, while on a 4-game SU losing run. Unbeaten Coogs 6 pts from a perfect ATS log.
RATING: BYU 88
Duke 37 - NORTH CAROLINA STATE 24 - (3:30) -- Line opened at North Carolina St minus 2½, and is now minus 3.
Imps are a team which seems to just hang around, but always dangerous, under tutelage of David
Cutcliffe (2-9 & 3-9 records in '20 & '21), following school-record 3 straight bowl wins). However, his
replacement, Mike Elko, has produced beyond hope with 9-4 & 8-5 records, including a pair of bowl
wins (14 & 12½ pt covers). And TY, 'Devils are at 6-3 SU & 5-2-1 ATS. 'Pack just 2 covers thus far.
RATING: DUKE 88
Detroit Lions 34 - HOUSTON 19 - (8:20 - NBC) -- Line opened at Detroit minus 4, and is now minus 3. Five straight
losing seasons for the Lions, prior to last year's brilliant recovery, making it into the playoffs for the
first time since '16, then coming within a FG of making it to the Super Bowl. Best start since 1956 title
win over Jimmy Brown & Co, as QB Goff has been simply superb, with 28 TDs, & 24 incompletions
in his last 6 games. Texans have shaken dust from 5-1 start, with current 2-3 run. Won't buck Lions.
RATING: DETROIT LIONS 88
NEAR CHOICES (Rated 87): California, South Florida, Oregon, Boise St - NFL: San Francisco, Atlanta, Miami
