Vegas has released the win total over-unders for 2018. Hard to disagree with SMU's.

SMU: 6 (Over EVEN, Under -120)

Rest of the AAC:
UCF: 9 (Over -120, Under EVEN)
Memphis: 8.5 (Over -120, Under EVEN)
USF: 8.5 (Over -120, Under EVEN)
Houston: 7.5 (Over -115, Under -105)
Navy: 7 (Over -110, Under -110)
Temple: 6.5 (Over -110, Under -110)

Tulane: 5.5 (Over -110, Under -110)
Cincinnati: 4 (Over -115, Under -105)
Tulsa: 4 (Over EVEN, Under -120)
UConn: 3.5 (Over EVEN, Under -120)
East Carolina: 3 (Over -105, Under -115)

VERDICT: OVER

With as much as they improved last year, Tulane is an interesting bet there. I think they get 3 wins non-conference.

Tulane may be the surprise of the conference. Not the conference champs but better than expected.

Glad to see them improving in both sports

Temple at 6.5 might go under on that one.

Tulane looking even better for 6 wins now that Wake Forest has suspended their likely starting QB for the first three games for the season.

Baylor at 6 wins -- same as TX Tech. Would be quite a rise for Rhule.
UNT at 8 wins -- pretty stout improvement if true. Great first game in two months.

Not a gambler.
What does the over 105 and under 120 stuff mean?
Thanks

UNT won 9 last year so Vegas is assuming they can't repeat that performance.

-120 means you have to bet $120 to win $100
Even means bet $100 to win $100
+110 means bet $100 to win $110

So the Vegas people are kind of saying we might go over 6?

Since you’re receiving better odds on the over, it means that the casino believes that the under is more likely. Money flows will cause this to fluctuate. If the public all started betting the over, those odds would come down.

It will be interesting to follow the money flow. I imagine there are tons of people deeply analyzing SMU football and its potential this fall.

Millions I bet!
