g man
I had Bowling green last year with a ton of points vs Wisky
I think BG went up by 21 early .. I was counting my cash
BG couldnt stop anything after that and I think gave up around 70 points and didnt cover.. (Calhoun ran wild)
In these pick em inter conference games gimme the better conference (Wisky in this case) plus I dont think BG has that QB this year...
Super bear... any time I see that 13- .. 6-... 2-... It looks as if Vegas is begging you to take the Fav.... I must agree with Vegas in this instance with BC .. They will run ALL DAY on a bad CM team and O brein will keep his D out there to work on Chemistry before next weeks game (Clemson at home I think) BC 35- CM 10 (PS Kent state is horrendous)

 

[Superbear]

not so fast!!!,..look at what BC has done in their 1st game of the year in all of the years in the past,..I live 2 miles from BC follow this college team more than any other,... this game has all the makings of the typical BC 1st game of the year,..I would not be suprised if they win only by 3-6 points.

 

[Hokie Fan]

Super Bear,
Thats a great point but they have to have a great defensive effort to prepare for a brutal ACC schedule.. (at FSU at UVA VT at home Clemson at home) They have to get out strong.. Do you go to Chestnut Hill for games????? I actually went to BC ... Gotta meet at Mary Anns for a pop before a game....
Bc Rolls.....

 

[Superbear]

,..this game has all the makings of that clunker at Ball State,..and a few others,..I don't drink any more but if I did Mary Anns would be one of the last places in the world I'd go to drink,..I cant stand BC students,..they all travel in packs and look like their parents dressed them,..most of those retards are not even from Boston,..I think alot of them are from New Jersey

 

[Superbear]

the lines changed a bit now at millenium,..now that I have looked more at these games these look like the stronger dogs;

Florida Atlantic +28 Clemson has BC next

Northern Illinois +18? OSU has Texas next

Akron +20 PSU has ND next

Utah +6 Utes could win outright

Arkansas +9? revenge special

 

[Hokie Fan]

Wow Super Bear...
I hope you didnt say my parents dressed me..
Or worse that Im from New Jersey
I was one of the 20% from public school who went there
As for Mary Anns.. great dive bar...
it does reek of Ball state .. either way I hope you win

 

[bjfinste]

And now for the square play.........
NOTRE DAME -7.5......thats what stood out to me :mj07:

I have to be honest... I thought the same thing.

As far as Wisconsin/BG... I just have no idea where the yards on offense are going to come from just yet from the Badgers. They have no receivers and no (tested) running back. They REALLY need to get Johnny Clay, a HS senior from down the road in Racine Park, for next season. He's the best HS player I have personally ever seen... the definition of "complete package" although I'm not optimistic he'll join my alma mater.

We'll see how the reports from camp come at the skill positions. Stocco has been fairly Jekyll and Hyde, but I was very impressed in the bowl game against Auburn. But again... who is he going to be throwing the ball to? I'm also curious how the coaching change will affect things. Many questions still to be answered.

Also, speedy pass rusher Jamal Cooper is suspended for the opener.

8923 Army -7 -110 O 49 -110
8924 Arkansas St +7 -110 U 49 -110




under 49.0

interesting looking under with strengths and weakness going into this game for both teams....guess will see how line shakes out with the big boy books...

 

[Superbear]

8943 TCU -13? -110 O 56 -110
8944 Baylor +13? -110 U 56 -110

this has "upset special" written all over it,..home dogs of between +13 - +14 win outright alot and this one is a battle of two teams from the same state.Baylor has to replace 7 of their top 9 tacklers.TCU is 1-10 ATS in their last 12 games on artificial turf.

 

[Hokie Fan]

Hey Super Bear,
Just did some research..
I really like Central Mich... Changed my mind on BC..
CM is improved and hopes to maybe make a bowl..
They wont quit and will give BC a game...
Thanks for making me look deeper on this one...

 

[RIGHT SIDE]

CAL -3 AT Tenn??? That stood out to me....haven't done much research yet for the season, but that line is tellling us something. I guess Tenn isn't supposed to be good this year. I bet CAL wins by 10 in that one.....close early, but they pull away in the second half. Many will get sucked in to that Tenn +3 as home dogs......

Actually just read that CAL QB got suspended for the opener....not so sure now about this game. Most likely a pass for me.....

 

[Hokie Fan]

Right Side..
The Cal QB shouldnt matter .. second stringer is just as good and almost won the job in the spring..
Cal should run right through them..
I liked this game...

 

[payne034]

alabama should roll hawaii they are never the same team away from the island and they have pay back in their minds when they lost their bowl eligibility. Hawaii beat them twice on the island.

 

[Hokie Fan]

Alabama may not score 14 points all season..
New QB.. etc etc..
Hawaii does play bad outside Oahu but they will come all game and throw all game and score..
It reeks of backdoor cover...

 

[pt1gard]

is sj st that bad ... the uw scoring 28 pts is asking a lot on a HS team

 

[bgold13]

I lke Utah over UCLA staight up.. l
ike WSU getting double digits at AUburn,
think BYU should cover in a dogfight with AZ..
Love Tex Tech
Love Nevada the most
like stanford getting 2 tds vs oregon
san jose state.. washington has no right being 27.5 pt favorites over anyone in the nation.. 1aa included

 

[bgold13]

pt1.. haven done a lot of reading yet on sjsu.. but tomey seemed to have them going in the right direction... plus this is their superbowl.. they always get up to play the pac.. im thinking sjsu is theway to go.. agree?

 

[Nastics]

SJ-Wash

SJ-Wash

bgold13, correct. Washington is going to be terrible on offense, their O-line will be perhaps their worst yet in this decade..which is saying something. If San Jose had any kind of defense they would likely win this game..in fact they may anyway if they get a couple of early breaks. Washington will likely be looking forward to the battering which awaits them vs OU.

 

[scott]

I typically only bet on the SEC and Texas teams since its what I know.

South Carolina -9 Miss. State
LSU-31 v. ULL
USC -10 v. Arky
Ole Miss -3.5 v. Memphis
Tenn +3 v. Cal will prob just take the ML
Southern Miss +17 against Florida
Vandy at +30 looks tempting, but you never know with the new QB
same with Bama at -14 v. Hawaii
Kentucy +27 v. Louisville
Baylor +14 v. TCU
I even like Texas -40 just because it seems like they have always done well on these extremely large lines.
