Pretty much a regular
301 Ohio 1st Quarter Under 9½ +163

There are alot of things the Zips haven't done well this year. If you forget their record for a minute and simply look at the numbers. I have listed below game # and how many points they gave up in the 1Q of each game. They haven't given up more than 7 points since GM1 of the season vs. Illinois. I have watched their past 3-4 games and these kids aren't going down without a fight. It's their last game of the season and their last shot at a winner...may add in some form or fashion to this match...this 1Q play is no hunch, 10/11 games this season have come in under the number and your giving me these odds...Gimme the Zips and that bone crushing 1st quarter D

#1 - 14 points (vs Illinois)
#2 - 7 points
#3 - 3 points
#4 - 7 points
#5 - 7 points
#6 - 7 points
#7 - 7 points
#8 - 7 points
#9 - 7 points
#10 - 7 points
#11 - 3 points

Game management by Akron is a real issue. When you have a disparity like that you have to keep it close early in games by running clock, limiting the other teams possessions, and their chances of scoring (Akron gave the bobocats something like 4-5 possessions in the 1Q, thats ridiculous). They didn't run right at Ohio where they had been a bit vulnerable throughout this year. In other words run the ball, run the clock even if you cant run successfully. Keep running. This shortens the game and increases your inferior teams chances at hanging around after halftime. You can always run stupid ass plays and take chances in the 4th quarter if you need too. You can't win the game in the 1Q but you can lose it. Same goes for any sport...party on Ranger O, be headed your direction a week from this Friday.
 
Think the weather conditions in Lincoln and their need to win to go bowling this Friday are pushing me toward a DOG ML play there. This is it for them. I think Iowa's smash mouth style will allow huskers to hang around for a bit if Martinez doesn't give the ball away. They have some matchup problems as well covering Martinez again if the real Martinez shows up. If he looks shaky early I would love to see the McCaffrey boy get a good long look in this game running the ship. He brings some series shit to the table.
 
371 Wisconsin/Minnesota U 1st Half Under 22 -110 (3*)
371 Wisconsin/Minnesota U Under 46 -103

SATURDAY...pulling the trigger a few days before the game to try and save a few points here...this is going to be some real shit contions anyway you cut it Saturday. Wind is going to be very strong here and possessions will be limited. Both teams have a great rush defense and should only look better if the wind limits play selection. Could be a real grinder but simply cannot see these two teams in these conditions running up and down the field on each other

Minny Weather Forecast...Rain, possibly mixed with snow and thunderstorms in the morning, then rain, possibly mixed with snow in the afternoon. Snow accumulation less than 1 inch. Near steady temperature in the mid 30s. East winds 15 to 20 mph with gusts to around 35 mph. Chance of precipitation near 100 percent.
 
327 Iowa/Nebraska 1st Half Under 22 -110 (2*)
327 Iowa/Nebraska Under 44½ -105

Weather may help this under, it may not. Definetly won't hurt the rate of possessions. Hopefully Frost stays conservative early on...This play isn't weather based, other factors have led me this direction this morning
 
I talked earlier this week about taking Nebraska. Yeah that's not happening, I will root for em as I like Frost a great deal but no chance I will be taking em today
 
Nebraska...wow is all I can say...I love Frost but man those kids are doing some really undisciplined things on the field...easy to blame the coach here but sometimes kids this age aren't very coachable and he seems to have a few of those...Martinez running out of bounds when he could of sent the game to OT and giving Iowa a chance at the end is unbelievable. Kinda is the M.O. for that young man and his season...would of loved to see the McCaffrey boy get more of a look...maybe next year Frost...for us onto tomorrow, adding these weather situations

1611 San Diego/Northern Iowa Over 48 -110

Playing in a Dome should bode well for San Diego to put some points up in this one...could be closer game than people think

As I just read this.. Herbstreit just picked Wyoming as his dog of day..
He even hinted an outright win
I don’t know if good or bad.. my ticket with the cowboys!
 
I got that Michigan +17.5 live as well now there’s a slight hope for my 8.5... Northwestern easy winner today . Had them game & 2nd half. Don’t like many favorites but I’m on Wisconsin pretty heavy. GL
