Week 8 Discussion Thread

No reason UCLA’s momentum should stop now, right?

Washington has played a lot of big/emotional games in a row. Wolverines cover this week?

Who’s been following Temple? Am I too late to jump on the bandwagon?

Charlotte is a dumpster fire and they have lost fan support here in the area as the offense makes my Heels look like Air Coryell. I’m on Temple this week.
 
Have been fading Terps in Octobers and so far paying off. Had a 50% boost with a book and used it on Neb ML vs Terps. Now traveling 3000 miles to UCLA going with the Bruins ats.
Wolv defense gave up a bunch of yds on West Coast, let's see if they tighten the screws in The Big House. Mich -5.5 and the Under. Haynes status? Didn't look too bad.

Will Indy crush Sparty into submission? And Buckeyes are this week's bookend to Indy, will they pound toothless Badgers? Would take Cignetti first, he likes to use the term "broke their will".

Wisconsin has quit on Fickell but he's an OSU guy and I don't think CRD tries to run it up on him this week. That said, he may not have to try.

Exactly my feeling. Fickle on the hot seat, Day won't be the straw to break his back. Kinda see it this way; Day gets up by 2+ scores and then works on the weak run game against the 15th rated run defense. Of course that buckeye D could score on their own. And what is Badger mindset? Mostly a stay away game for me.

Let down? You know, I don't think so. Indiana had six false starts, a delay of game, and a pic-6 in Eugene. Plenty for Cignetti to hype on. And Hoosiers never had a letup game last year. Just convinced myself to play the chalk.

There haven’t really been a lot of letdown opportunities. The win over Oregon is the first upset of Cignetti’s tenure, and just the second win over a ranked team. The prior such win was followed by a non-cover at Iowa.

7.5-9.5 are the same numbers to me in the grand scheme of things. If it drops to 7 that's where you start the thought process.

I remember having Wisconsin -9.5 vs. UVA in a game that was 26-10 late. UVA scored and Al Fucking Groh kicked the PAT to cover instead of going for two and keeping the (very slim) chance of a win alive.

I’m somewhat consoled by the fact that Groh was the coach of the Wake Forest team that was not quite as devastated by sickness as the ‘68 Tulsa team. We didn’t hang a hundred on them, but we still managed to hang 82 on them.

Even “dead” numbers matter. It seems like only yesterday that i was on this site talking about Beamer fucking me in the same way on a +12.5.

I want to see Indy do it in the playoff
 
Dude's name is Justice 🤣

That mug is exactly what I'd expect. He would be incredible in UFC even if he got slaughtered. (And yes, see what I did there?)
 
Reading some of the replies, guy would get wasted and go on twitter threatening to shoot everyone he didn't agree with. That's next level.
 
Admittingly I'm a donk. But why no Iowa love? Just went into Madison and fired Fickel 37 0. Two weeks ago probably should've beat a great Indiana team losing 20 15. Now comes in psu with interim coach breaking in backup qb. Right or wrong Iowa probably feels they have shot at playoff if they win out. 3 seems cheap. But everything i feel like this about a game I lose. Lol. So what am I missing? Other than backup qb probably being upgrade over Allar.

Devil's advocate you would be buying Iowa at as high as they can get and selling PSU at their low. Might not matter but it's not ideal.

Agree. And like I said, every time I feel this way about a game I lose it. Never fails. But I'm mainly looking at the Indiana game 2 weeks ago. They held that team down well. Indiana is pretty damn good. I know nothing about the psu backup qb but this is a tough first test. Anyway, I've seen no one on this game either way so if I bet it will be 1u only.
 
Has the QB news dropped the line enough to have some value on Texas Tech? Hammond looked like an unfazed killer to me against Utah, but I didn’t see what happened last week.

Hammond was lights out but he got away with a few ill advised throws. They were just perfect passes. If he takes those risks going forward it will lead to some picks. Someone is going to trip up TTU, will it be the Devils? Utah ran it down their throat and the defense had good numbers. Dickey could feast possibly.
 
BOL seriously picked Saturday morning to do maintenance to their site? And a Saturday I’m still in Texas where I have to play offshore!????

Just noticed allar was out but yea I can’t imagine that a terrible thing. Just seems like a bad time to fade psu to me. I mean look at the bruins after firing their coach, obviously that a different level of suck than Franklin was but psu is still incredibly talented and you would think we see their best effort here, wouldn’t ya? Unless it obvious all the kids broken up about the fire (no clue in this case), I don’t much like fading teams after a coaching change, especially top 10 talent who been underachieving.
 
I’m so square I want to play gtech so freaking bad, problem is Duke has been improving and as much I like the yellow jackets I damn sure don’t see them running the table. Really wanted 27.5 for their tt, 28.5 scares me a bit but I dunno. Grabbed a little ov 28.5 smallish and damn if that 3.5 being dangled isn’t tempting as shit
 
Man, what a great slate of games today. Buried in it is unfiltered hatred that exists between Baylor and TCU. Holy War II
