Well, tough one Friday with Louisville spitting the bit against UConn.
I read that mess of the in-game and the differing arguments. While the call was an awful one, in the end, each team had their chances and once U of L got up 17-7, they've got to find a way to hang on. Didn't happen. Looks like they're headed for 6-6 or so. A very dull game for the most part.
OK, onto Saturday's card and hopefully another winning week. Things have been going pretty well here as of late.
Not sure how Syracuse can keep laying points to people. Barfalo figures to be more motivated and should play hard for 60 minutes. Same can't be said for Orangemen. But I missed the six, and there's little value in the Bulls now.
Lean to Miami O but was hoping for downward progression in the line and it didn't work out that way. I like the RedCocks on the field but not sure if they can cover a touchdown or not against rejuvenated Owl group off two straight wins for the first time since 2002...
West Virginia can prolly name the score against Messy State at home. And while all the BCS stuff is important, I don't see them trying to embarass this team - not with bigger conference fish to fry in coming weeks. Should end up close to the number. I think both WV home games have flown over the total, so that might be worth a look if you think MSU can sustain some drives.
Not too sure how to read the Penn State/IU game. I have friends I respect on both sides of that one. The Hoosiers have been better at home and are one win away from the magical six it takes for bowl eligibility. Penn State has been abysmal on the road, as well. Are they more talented to cover a touchdown in this spot? I lean to IU but will watch the first half...
Every tout I've seen is all over Clemson. Good. Let them bet them up. Central is now the best team in the MAC and are in full-fledged steamroll mode now that LeFeveour is making better decisions. The Chips are still a bit banged up and people will look at the early-season bloodbaths in Lafayette and Lawrence and think the Clemson price is cheap. While those two backs might go wild, I think the CMU defense has shored things up a little.
THe play:Central Michigan plus 17.5 for a medium bet.
NOTE - I have NOT bet this game yet. The best price my people have is 17. I am waiting for that extra hook. If the 17s start to disappear, I will grab the 17 for a medium bet.
Northern Illinois sucks. No opinion at all in Madison. Ask Fondy and the Wisconsin gang.
Arkansas laying it in Oxford, where the Rebs always seem to get the cash as a home SEC dog. Not sure if they can stop these two RB's, though, but they will fight to the end. Should be close to the number.
There's plenty to see about the Vandy/USC game in other threads. I don't like Vandy's mindset at this point (thanks RSMS, confirming that earlier this week) and not sure whether the price is right or not. Lean to the dog but won't bet unless it gets up to three-plus scores...
Wake an awful favorite but they sure seem like a better team than Navy. I made it 3 so no opinion at all. Extra rest and prep for Wake but in the big picture this game means littke; Navy is going to San Diego and Wake's bowl hopes hinge on its league success.
GT has no reason to blow out Army but they might do it by accident anyways. SOme of the Army wins at home were as misleading as any games I've seen all year.
Air Force's revitalization this season certainly allows me to credit their new coach for doing a nice job of getting them to buy into his new system. Wyoming off a puzzling 3-point effort against New Mexico in a game where weather was a factor. I am sitting this one out but I will certainly check the box before deciding how much to bet on NM. If Wyoming looks good in this spot, I'll prolly load up. See NM/SDST writeup later on Saturday morning...
I'll start with Ball and Western in the morning after I talk to a couple of friends and get their thoughts.
GL!
