another mediocre saturday last weekend, 9-8 overall, with bfgotw and double play on asu both going down. season record now 44-34, bfgotw 1-2, double plays 1-1. on to glory today.
troy state +11: even though winless ats this year, miss st still getting a little too much respect here. this troy state team a bit worse than the one that upset miss st last year in starkville, but appear to have enough to hang within dd. loophole criterium in place here with troy state superior rushing game and rushing defense. bulldogs also nursing several injuries, especially at rb and in the defensive backfield. little doubt that trojans will come into this game looking to run the ball as rushing their forte and bulldog's weak on rushing d. everything i see tells me this game should play out within a td either way.
other plays:
va +5: tigers just don't have the defense to be conference road favorites anywhere but duke. cavs a young team that appear to be improvng as the season progresses.
mia/fsu over 59: can't bring myself to lay dd in a big rivalry game like this and got to have some action on the canes, so over is my best bet. as previously stated, this fsu defense not up to caliber of years past. dorsey should be able to light them up at will, enough to put up forty at least. seminoles will score enough to carry their share.
rice/navy over 53-: both teams will run and then run some more, but game goes over anyway as you couldn't field a good defensive unit combining both squads.
uab -3: see ndnfan's thread for a better writeup than i could produce, bottom line is blazers a decent home team and houston is awful on the road.
w michigan +1-: probably a good idea to play this one on the moneyline if you can.
ark state +29. classic hangover/sandwich situation for ole miss. ark state is another team that has been steadily improving this season, so much so that i can't use them in the bfgotw any more. ole miss lays this kind of wood every year against the indians and never covers.
nc state -6- and over 58-: you knew this one was coming, didn't you? can't resist playing the wolfpack who, despite their weak early schedule, appear superior to the tarheels in most every aspect. expect rivers to put up a bunch of wolfpack points and durant to produce points for both teams.
maybe a few more later.
