Vegas likes USF to win the AAC in 2017

Here is the current breakdown on the site: USF +150, Houston +500, Memphis +500, UCF +500, Navy +600, Tulsa +850, Temple +1800, SMU +2500, Cincinnati +2800, Tulane +5000, UConn +10000, and ECU +10000.

Tulsa +850 seems like good value.

Adding them up:

East +25,250
West +9,950
(lower is better)

Quite a difference.

Based on the 247 Overall Talent ratings for 2016 (2017 not out yet), Cincy is the clear value play at +2800.

It’s such a crap shoot in the West because we beat up on each other all year. It’s just like the NBA’s West and East conferences in my opinion, there is a distinct difference in the two.

Also I like us to play spoiler against USF on November 4th. They will play a competitive game against Cinci the week before. Assuming they win, it could be one of those emotional wins as they stay undefeated for the year. Then we come in and completely destroy those hopes and dreams to the tune of 3-4 Ed Oliver sacks, which ruins any post season awards for Flowers. Just a thought.
