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!
