Motley's Plays

[MOTLEY]

**** Oregon State -12

I see a 37-14 game here. Oregon State is one of the most improved teams in the country and will continue to show that today and this is a big payback for last year's loss

***Tennessee -4

27-17 Tennessee is for real and Florida is not. Clausen helps his heisman case today with a big game

*** Texas A&M +1'

I see a 17-10 A&M victory. Two great defenses!! I just think the aggies get it done at home where they have a big advantage

***Houston +35

Texas wins this game 41-20

Houston is much improved this year and will keep this game within the generous spread

***Michigan State -2'

24-17 MSU turns it around today, and Jeff Smoker shows that he is a fine college qb. Last week MSU started off bad and things snowballed, this week the real Spartans will show up

Adding

***Georgia Tech -9

41-20 G Tech has a much tougher defense and the home field edge. Byu could not stop Nevada with there best player out, it will be worse today

:nono: Not so fast my friend on that MSU pick,, Ive done my homework for this game.. From what i get from both sides of the ball, could be an all out war. I have to give a slight edge to the irish, and i mean slight edge,, just for these facts,,, i feel the irish want this game more then msu, willingham does not want to lose to his alma matar, Nd is on a bigger roll right now, and definatly has the momentum in there favor,, Keys to michigan state are ,, well only 2 keys Smoker and Rodgers?,,But after seeing MSu in action last week,,,, If you get pressure on smoker, he;s a different QB,, Plus there Defense is not very good and very acceptable to the run,,, in which i have to give the irish a big edge on the running game, compared to msu,, passing , is a no brainer msu advantage,,, but keys are,, msu to win, they need to relax and not force things, to beat themselves,,,the irish are too experienced and will not beat themselves as proven in there first 3 games,,, there defense makes plays when needed.. So to wrap it up on this game,,, it is clearly a toss up in my opinion,,,,my advise is to lay off and watch thes 2 great teams go at it,,,,, but in my opinion if i were to play the game i have to take the Irish +2.5, and take my chances,,,,, but i would not play,, too scary.

As for your other games,,,,, Motley,, i couldnt agree more on oregon st. and Texas A&M,, the Cotton bowl will be rocking today, and 2 great D's going at it,,,i would give to edge to techs D, but cotton bowl is one of the toughest places to play in the country.. Key here is A & M must finds some offense or do something on Defense or special teams,,, but there could be an upset brewing in Texas today.

Tennesse i think is the play,, definatly more balanced and better talent the florida,,, and now spurriers gone,, fullmer should be able to get it done today..

Good Luck with plays
