Well I guess all I needed for the confusion to leave me was a little time alone with my locals line sheet! Well that and my magic 8 Ball
.......I have come down to these games to play for the weekend! Best of luck to you guys that put a little faith in the turnaround weekend! Here goes........
After seeing VT's defensive play as of late one would probably take solice in saying that tonights matchup against Boston College would probably be one that will not require the score keeper to sharpen his pencil.......Well I see it different! Tonights play for me is not laying on either side but getting it down on the over 44 points! The last 3 meetings have been well over the line on this O/U: 34-20, 48-34, and 38-14. Take the over at anything under 50!
Tonight over 44 VT and BC!
Kentucky's chances of winning more than 1 or 2 games all season would have probably been about as likely as Bison Dele's girlfriends story is believable.....if you had asked me 2 months ago! But with an impressive but winningless effort in the swamp a few weeks back lead me to belive that -6.5 is a pretty small hurdle for Lorenzen and the Wildcats to clear. Holtzies boys are just not what they were a year ago. Kentucky wins this game at home by two scores to the tune of 45-31
Kentucky -6.5 and over 50 points
For no other reason than being a good Catholic boy
I will be riding Notre Dame like a Horse with no name. The Irish are on a roll and I do believe that this week is no different than the rest, ND covers against a very good Pittsburgh team! The 7.5 is a little shy of what I figure it will be by Saturday, but even with an increasing Joe Public line rise the Luck of the Irish will be sitting over on the Bench with Tyrone and the boys!
Notre Dame -7.5
Georgia and Tennesee is about as predictable as next years crop reports......who really knows? As for being sure I am not but I am a gambler and my money will be hanging around the chain on the neck of that little white dog. With Clausen out and Tennesee just not playing the kind of football the Vol fans are accustomed to seeing this time of year, Georgia hands The Vols a good ole woodshed beating and keeps on climbing the polls. Georgia by a TD
The Dawgs -3.0
Texas Tech...........No explanation needed except two words, Kliff Kinsbury! Tech and State should be a scoreboard short circuit game.
Over 61
The one game that I am going to go onto a limb on and say for 100% (and I realize your gonna say that I am biased Monk, but oh well) is my one and only Auburn Tigers @ -6
Oh I know you can't believe that Blue is gonna lay it down on the Tigers but its true. The Cadillac had his first " coming out party " type of game last year against a great defense in Fayetville and the same will come Saturday with a 200 yard game and at least 2 TD's! The Caddy has taken SEC player of the week 2 out of the last 3 weeks and I feel like he is going for the Tri-fecta, as well he only needs one score to become the first Tiger to score a TD in six consecutive games. Damon Duval only needs a few more goal splitters to overtake Al Del Greco on the most points by a kicker and only 30 some points to pass Bo Jackson as our all time leading scorer, that is good company to be in. Last year we outgained the razorbacks almost 2-1 but still got outscored on punt returns and silly Auburn type mistakes. This is a diferent season and a different group of coaches, we make less mistakes now. Our defense will be on top of things, Karlos Dansby is without a doubt the best linebacker we have. His play should be enough to stop the Piggies on the run and keep our momentum up for the early morning game! The Tigers tee this one up 45-24
Take Auburn -6 and get on the over at anything under 49!
All the rest of the games that I plan on playing are all smaller and less interesting but they are still gonna be winners. Good luck to you guys.
