duke comes through in a big way producing an unexpected outright win as a dd dog while holding the total easily under. saturday plays go 4-2 as the other four plays split, lowlighted by an extremely anemic terp squad (sorry jack, but i look for them to bounce back big against akron). overall posted plays this season now 6-2.
sad thing about ecu is they must now go to wake, who are fresh off the overtime loss at n ill. i look for wake to punish ecu in a high scoring contest.
and, sorry forum carolina fans, but its hard to see how the heels can hang with the' cuse in the dome. baby blue has troubles on both side of the ball. durant appears the second coming of donald curry - all the talent in the world but a human turnover looking for a place to happen. when the newspaper headlines after the first game proclaim "no qb controversy at unc," you know there's a qb controversy at unc. i predict cj stephens will be the starter by game four. on defense, heels are not going to be able to overcome the loss of both defensive ends and all three linebackers. not good for a team that has been use to solid d to fall back on.
finally, looks like nc state will get the line benefit of navy's fortuitous rout of smu coupled with amato's nice guy disintrest in running up scores. wolfpack spotting less than three tds should be a value.
on to today's games. one early total i like - still looking at the late game.
tcu/cin over 51-: a bit of a contrary play as everyone, including me, thinks the horned frogs will spend some time running the ball today. but, in this matchup, both offenses appear to have the edge. cincy was one of the worst teams against the rush last year in conference usa. hard to see how there going to improve that much while turning over their entire defensive staff. given that tcu should score on the ground, it would appear the only way the bearcats can keep up will be in the air. while tcu may be known as primarily a defensive team, bottom line is they gave up close to 4 td's a game last year. plenty of points to be had today.
