Sorry fellas. No time to finish the writeup today. Did what I could...
Friday night game: No opinion. I think the coaches should settle it at mid-field with an eat-off. See who can last the longest. Think it would fill up three hours with commercials???
Saturday...
I like Iowa's team a lot but ISU always comes up with an extra-special performance against the Hawks, even though Ferentz is 19-2 ATS in these spots... will have to pass. Note that Iowa was -4 in turnovers last week yet still won at Cuse (though they lost me the cash). I made the game 15 1/2 so nothing stands out at this price. Thought it might go down from 13 but noooo...
Illinois/Cuse - the Toilet Bowl??? If I had to bet, I'd have the Illini. Cuse on emotional downer after last week but my God Illinois is bad. Flip a coin.
Made Minnesota lower against Temple but anyone who bets on Temple hates their money, plain and simple. Pass, and would only have Minny or no one.
Ohio State is much better than Cincy but I like the way the Bearcats clawed and scraped last week even though they didn't get the cash. D'Antonio has things going in right direction and Tressel will do little to embarass him if he doesn't have to. OSU flat as a pancake in this spot with Texas in rearview mirror and Penn State up next. Talent-wise, this would get ugly. It just won't turn out that way.
Prediction: Ohio State 30, Cincinnati 10
The play: Cincy plus 30 for a small bet
Duke looks like the right side to me at this price but have to wonder their emotional state after deserving to win last week and coming up short.
Wake Forest was awful last week but I can't see how they can justify making UConn a six-point favorite. I'll be on the dog small in this spot, as I think they will win it outright.
The play: Wake Forest for a small bet
Does Virginia have the right to lay 10 to anyone? Not sure but don't want Cubit in matchup with Groh and Hoos, who I think will improve this week.
Skip K-State/Marshall. I need more data, got no opinion there at all.
Rutgers is going to be a covering machine. They'll get the cash again this week because they will figure out a way to slow the quarterback...
The play: Rutgers -15 for a medium bet
Ball won't be able to keep up with Purwhoo but who are the Boilers to try and lay this number when they let a punchless Miami O offense outgain them last week in an OT win. Ball is better than that. Don't think they'll win but the points look good.
The play: Ball State plus 17.5 for a medium bet
Letdown likely in Mount Pleasant for Akron, even though this is a revenge spot for Zips. They're coming off a win at NC State, while Central has faced two much tougher foes and should find the running game some success this time against softer foe. Line value with the home team.
The play: Central plus 1.5 for a medium bet
Pass Kent/Miami and EMU/Northwestern. Made both games close to number.
Will be back early in the morning to finish up with the card. Enjoy your weekend and good luck to us...
