Been here since 2001, but don?t post much, as you can see. Have enjoyed reading some good cappers posts over the years ? fletcher, RAYMOND, gman2, mr. Hockey, gardenweasel, Dr. Freeze, etc. :clap: Anyway, I am posting my leans for some quality insight from everyone/anyone on here.

Ohio St -3.5
Do we gain some extra value after the NW loss? I see this line opened at 5 in some spots. I don?t think Ohio State is going to drop two conference games in a row, especially at home. Wisconsin?s offense, although received a ?pick me up? this past weekend with the return of Davis, is not that good. I think Ohio state gets the job done here. Will wait to see of the line drops some more in case of a close one.

Iowa St +8
This is Texas A&M?s first road game since the debacle in Week 1 @ Utah. Three impressive home victories and now laying more than a TD on the road. I know Iowa State is not a below average football team, but think they play A&M tough at home.

Tennessee +12.5
I think what we saw Saturday is a Georgia team that had that LSU game circled and caught fire for that first quarter - everything bounced their way, and I am glad b/c I was on Georgia, but I have to believe, especially after Tennessee?s effort vs Auburn, that we are getting more than we should here. Does UGA come out flat after the big LSU win? Do the Vols come out fired up not to drop two conference games in a row? I think Tennessee has a great chance to win this game flat out. Until that first quarter vs LSU, the Georgia offense has not been impressive. I think this game is a close one.

Vanderbilt -6
Rutgers has lost to I-AA New Hampshire and Syracuse. Barely beating Kent and that MSU win seems a lot less impressive to date. Although losses to Navy, South Carolina, and Mississippi, I think Vandy has played a much tougher schedule. I just Vanderbilt wins this game comfortably at home. They know this is one they SHOULD win.

Texas Tech ?6.5
Nebraska?s offense cannot keep up with Tech?s. I think this could be a blow out. Would appreciate some Big 12 insight. Am I missing something with this one

Penn State +11.5
One of those game I look for every week where the lines has moved 2.5 to 3 points and all the ?consensus? sites are showing action on that side. Should Purdue go into Happy Valley and beat up on Penn State? Sure they should? So why did this line open at 8.5? Looks too easy. Penn State has an above average defense and played Minnesota tough last week, although I thought Minny was going to roll the Lions. If they can get some production out of their offense, I could see them hanging around at home in this one. Remember last year?s Ohio State game ? should of won that one outright. I think, along with Iowa St., I might be the only one that is looking at the Lions, but I still would like some feedback.

I like most of your plays, though I can't see Tech blowing out Nebraska. While Nebraska's O has struggled and been very turnover-prone, the D has been excellent. And Tech's O has fallen way off compared to last year. This looks like a 24-17 Tech win to me.

I dont know about the black-shirt D, mw, especially the secondary. So. Miss w/ its below average passing attach moved the ball pretty well on them, especially in the late 3rd Q and 4th Q.

Anyway, my opinion is that TT rolls at home.

i think youre right on the money with penn state, and i would have to agree on ohio state as well. would never go against tressel after a loss, especially at home. only hesitation i have is that alvarez has always been tough for ohio state to beat. two really good coaches. two really good defenses. two really bad offenses, lol. i think osu get out with a 20-13 win though. gl my friend

...like/still lookin at Tenn, Iowa St. and Penn St. :)


...watch out for Vandy. Home field doesn't mean much, so Rutgers should feel right at home. In all seriousness, I didn't like the man opening this line at 4' and it immediately getting bet up. Vandy has plenty of upperclassmen and won on the road LW @ Miss St. covering a DD spread!?!!?! What universe are we in again? When I looked at that opening line, I almost immediately took Vandy...usually a bad sign for me at least...although I wanted to jump on NW last week and talked myself out of it, so what the hell do I know? LOL :142lmao:


GL this weekend, oldtimer. ;)
