****DETROIT -3
The Titans are coming off a loss to Wichita State which, IMO, will only make them a better team. They were down 5 at half, came out of the locker room and hit WSU with a 12-2 run (not intimidated by the big boys)! Yeah, they lost the game, but if their coach is doing his job that is a positive learning tool. They can compete with the big boys and should beat up on inferior opponents. The final score is not remotely indicative of how close that game was. They are 1-2 on the road this year, but neither game a "should" have won type (@ Oregon and @ Michigan). With that said, they travel to UCF tonight. The game will be moving a lot slower for the Titans tonight because of the severe drop in competition. If they leave the loss to WSU, don't feel sorry for what could have been, I expect to see a dominating performance out of them tonight. The line of minus 3 seems like a gift to me. I'm a 2% flat bettor, but this one seems so ripe for the taking that I'm willing to double up for 4%.
