California 40 - TEXAS 20 - (7:30 EDT - FOX) -- Line opened at California minus 1?, and is now minus 6?. Of course,
we don't like such a large line move, which contributed to us leaving the Bears off of our Pointwise
Rated Plays. However, with obvious demise of the Longhorns, coupled with a similar rise in respect
for Cal, it can no longer be tabled. In Steers' seemingly comfy win over Rice last week, they had stat
deficits of 31-11 in FDs, & 462-277 in total yds, & that on the heels of being totally dominated by
NotreDame (30-8 in FDs, & 527-163 in TYs). Cal, with 17 starters back from LY's explosive squad,
have beefed up its "D": only way to go.
RATING: CALIFORNIA 89
NAVY 45 - East Carolina 24 - (3:30 - CBSC) -- Line opened at pick-em, and is now Navy minus 3?. As our readers
are well aware, the Pirates have been one of our "go-to" teams recently, & as it turned out in '14,
much to our chagrin, as they never duplicated their early-season success: upset of VaTech, & 70-42
blowout of NoCaro (17-pt & 27-pt covers), paying off on only 1 of their succeeding 9 games, by 9?
pts vs lowly Tulane. That EC firepower, led by record-breaking QB Carden, is now departed. Check
minus 13 RYs in LY's revenge failure vs Florida. Middies rested, & return brilliant QB Reynolds.
RATING: NAVY 89
Georgia Tech 41 - NOTRE DAME 27 - (3:30 - NBC) -- Line opened at GeorgiaTech minus 1, and is now minus 2?.
Minimum line move keeps this one from being set aside. The Irish, as home dogs, of course are a
bit of concern, but the fact is that NoDame, which looked absolutely unstoppable in its opening romp
over Texas, has sustained yet another setback, with the loss of stellar QB Zaire, who opened with a
stellar 19-of-22 for 313 yds & 3/0 vs the 'Horns. Backup signal caller Kizer was solid in LW's narrow
win over Virginia (TD pass in last 0:15). GT a purring machine: 8-0 ATS (+174 pts): at 347.5 RYpg.
RATING: GEORGIA TECH 88
GEORGIA 33 South Carolina 24 - (6:00) -- Line opened at Georgia minus 15?, and is now minus 17. As written on
the WisePoints column of Pointwise, this series is the epitome of "barnburner", with such recent
scores of 41-37, 45-42, 41-30,& 38-35, thus not having a spread of this size since '05, when the
'Dawgs went off as 18-pt chalks, winning 17-15. No question that the "Ol Ball Coach has an uphill
climb this season, with the loss of 7 offensive starters, & enters off an upset loss to Kentucky.
However, the Bulldogs managed just 2 offensive TDs at Vandy, winning mainly because of a 3-0 TO
edge. Just can't ignore such a foreign spot.
RATING: SOUTH CAROLINA 88
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA 24 - Stanford 23 - (8:00 - ABC) -- Line opened at SouthernCal minus 8, and is now minus
10. Once again, we refer to WisePoints for this call, as the dog in this annual war has covered the
last 7 between 'em. No question that the Card aren't up to their usual standards, with their 2-FG
effort in losing to Northwestern, 17-7, which could have been much worse (225-85 RY deficit). But
righted their ship with rout of CFla (491-181 yd edge). Trojans #6 in nation, deservedly so, behind
Kessler & Co, but lopsided final here will shock.
RATING: STANFORD 88
GREEN BAY 34 - Seattle 20 - (8:30 - NBC) -- Line opened at GreenBay minus 3, and is still minus 3. This one marks
just the 18th time in the last 3? years, in which Seahawks have been installed at dogs, & so far
they've responded with a spread record of 16-2 in that role. Thus, this hardly seems a sane choice,
in bucking such a powerful run. However, you would have to live in a cave not to be aware of the
revenge factor here, as the Pack experienced one of the most brutal losses ever, in their NFC Title
match vs Seattle. 'Hawks were stung for 34 pts in their opener, matched only once in their last 66
games, but Rodgers (18-of-23, & 3/0 vs the Bears) & mates are more than ready.
RATING: GREEN BAY 88
