YTD 68-58-2 +13.70 Units

I got the Virginia, Wisky and ND line on Sunday at Pinnacle. Have not had the time to post my analysis. Here goes.

Virginia -2.5**
Cavaliers are back to where they were before Schwab went down. Tigers usually come up with a solid effort at home but they have been too inconsistent on offense and with the many 3 and out's it has hurt their D at times being on the field so long. Cavaliers can get it done through the air and on the ground.

Wisconsin +4.5**(-125) (bought the pt.)
Badgers should have a pretty healthy Anthony Davis back but his replacement has done a solid job. Wisky let last years game slip away at the end in their 19-14 loss to Ohio St. Badgers have looked solid other than their debacle at home to UNLV. Buckeyes are coming off their bye week. Krenzel should be healthy. Ohio St. has been so inconsistent this year running the ball and I really believe it will be their downfall come Saturday. After starting out the year with 5 straight home games, can't think of any other program over the years that has a schedule like that, they now have to go on the road into a hostile environment. Buckeyes won't have the home crowd to give them that extra push which they feed so well off of at home. Wisky has had this game circled since the spring. The Badger Seniors want this one. It will be close but I bought the pt. just in case as we all know how the Buckeyes seem to win close games.

LSU -9.5***(-120) (bought the .5 pt.)
Tigers should expolit a young Gators team and the home field will just allow the Tigers to feed off of the energy all game. LSU should jump out early and continue to pour it on. I had the chance to see LSU in person and their speed and athleticism is second to none. Zook's coaching mistakes are good for a TD as well. LSU gets revenge for the many losses over the years.

Georgia -2**
Vols were exposed a little last Saturday night in Auburn. Vols still tried to establish the run even when they were down 14-0 in the 3rd Q. so they would not look so one dimensional. To gain 2 yds. total rushing tells me that the Bulldogs will stop the pass and force the run which a better Georgia team will take advantage of. Richt will outcoach Fullmer and Vols looked shaky against the Gamecocks 2 weeks ago. The Vols now face another tough D in Georgia and this time the Bulldogs have more playmakers than South Carolina did. Georgia by a TD.

Kansas +6.5**
Jayhawks are still not getting respect and I will grab the points. I might play the ML later in the week. Bufs blew it real bad last week against a weak Baylor. Injuries will play a role in this game as the Bufs have a few key guys out on offense. Jayhawks have a very balanced attack and this year have not committed the same mistakes that have killed this team over the years. A disciplined Jayhawks team stays inside the number and might get the outright win.

Texas Tech -15.5*
Cyclones looked very weak on defense last week. Sooners threw the ball at will and the deep ball spread the field quite nicely, something the Red Raiders should be able to continue when they play Iowa St. Saturday. Cyclones offense was inept and forced their defense to stay on the field for prolonged periods. The Tech offense has really impressed me. Their defense has some solid playmakers as well and were able to get a good pass rush last week against A&M. Tech at home will prevail by at least 3 TD's.

Notre Dame +11*
Irish are coming off a bye week and will be more prepared on offense having QB Brady Quinn operate with his WR's for 2 weeks. He should be much more familiar with the offense which will give the Irish D some much needed relief as they have played quite well but have been prone to be on the field much more than they were used last year when their offense was able to run the ball. If the Irish can run the ball with a little consistency it will allow ND to expoit a weak Pitt defense that gives up alot of yards each week. I am not saying ND gets the win but their is no way they lose by double digits to Pitt. Panthers give up big plays on defense and this should do them in again this Saturday. Irish stay inside the number.

CMU +17*(thanks to hellah, had to bite on this one)
Back with total plays later. I grabbed Oregon/ASU o55.5 on Sunday for a unit.

GLTA!

Thanks g-hawg! Any PAC-10 leans?

I am leaning to Stanford as USC has ND on deck and Cardinal coming off bye week. They seem to be an underrated bunch. They won't win many but they keep games close. I actually like Arizona at home getting 17 against UCLA as well.

good stuff horns. while we disagree on a few, i think you present a solid point on the lsu/florida game. wouldnt surprise me to see a couple sec teams try to run it up on florida a little payback-style for all the years spurrier blasted em. now the gators are a little down and can be had.

Horns,

Love UVA, my thoughts on Clemson have been well documented. UVA will tear them apart.

Also glad to see you on Kansas, I have been riding them all year and predicted them to be strong this year. I will play the money line play. Colorado is done. Can't see them getting up for this game. Kansas on the other hand will be sky high. I have Kansas by 7.

I would tred lightly on Wisky. Lord knows I can't stand Ohio State, but I just do not see how Wisky will move the ball. This line is off in my opinion, Wisky is getting too much respect. They will be up for this game, but Tresell will have his team ready and I think they win rather easily.

I am also playing against my Terps this week. This is the first non-sellout this year and will be a let down game for MD. They will win, but I doubt by 4TD's.

Good Luck this weekend!

Thanks guys!

BASON - Ohio St. could go either way and you never know with college football this year. Thanks for the Maryland info. Glad we agree with Tech and Kansas.

Anthony - USC/ASU game was great for 3 quarters and a bit. As per usual the women were outstanding. We have some great people to tailgate with. Going to skip the Oregon/ASU game as their are way too many big games on TV.

Adding:

Stanford +21.5*
The Trojans get the win and get it by two TD's but I think this number is too much. Cardinal coming off bye week and USC wants to be healthy heading to ND as the Irish are a huge rivalry game for them. Trojans tailback is reportedly out for the game as well and I think Stanford QB does just enough to stay inside the number.

Tulsa +22.5*
Again I think Boise St. is overvalued as they don't have the same quick strike weapons on offense from last year and Tulsa does enough to stay inside the number. Broncos are a big public play which is the reason for the inflated number.

Florida/LSU u48*
Will the Gators score more than 10 pts. They could not score more than 17 against a weak Rebels defense and it was in the Swamp. Tigers defense is super and their offense will put up alot of points on a weak Gators defense.

Georgia/Tennessee u43*
I see this being a 20-13 type game. Grind it out and low scoring affair.

Oklahoma St. +3*
I will grab the points at home. Cowboys have too much on offense for the Wildcats defense to contend with. No way the Wildcats can match the Cowboys score for score.

Oregon/ASU o55.5*
Grabbed this Sunday. Lots of pts. as both teams have a terrible time defending anything. Second half will be where the bulk of the pts. are scored after the heat sets in.

I will be back Friday with my 1st half plays.
