55-43-3 +35.00 units
Week I would like to forget about. Hit a max unit play and lost everthing else. I had one additional play and that was Iowa +3 with local. I did add some. That pushed anyway. Was praying for them to miss pt convo so we could get a push with early number and a win with late addition. Um, not so much. Louisville, uggh. Georgia. I almost talked myself out but stuck to gut intuition. Those who tried to convince.yea, yea yae you were right. Minnesota hurt as well. If you would have told me that NWestern would have 17 points with 40 seconds left I woulda felt we had the correct side in all honesty. That being said, Minnesota wasn't ready for prosperity just yet. East Carolina tonight, yuck as well. Central Florida truly is one of the worst teams in D1 but ECU made them look okay tonight. One big pass play and we just saw the drop by whats his face but whatever. I had a bad feeling when the late surge came with chasers tonight that this was a tru-ish type of play. Shoulda bouhgt off. Stayed stubborn though. At least I capped that Scary game right. They kept pretty clean although they didn;t have a lot of yards and took advantage of opportunities. Fat Phil may be gone real quick now. Saw on some Michigan boards that Dantoni is being sought perhaps. Figure thats some Tennessee faithful starting rumors.
This week:
Western Michigan +7.5 -110 2.5 units
Oklahoma State +4 -110 2 units
Iowa +9 -110 3.5 units
Arizona -38 -110 4 units
Minnesota -9 -110 2 units
Alabama -3 -110 2 units
Minnesota -8.5 -110 2 units
Ohio State -11 -110 3 units
Arizona 1H -23.5 -110 2 units
Wisconsin -9.5 -110
Iowa U42.5 -110 2 units
Classic situational play combined with a strength versus weakness in the matchup in Detroit on Saturday. The WMU and Illinois game will be played indoors at Ford Field. The Illini come off a great home win versus a very tough Iowa squad. They had to keep fighting the Hawkeye rallies before getting the GW fieldgoal late. A late season OOC matchup precedes a huge home game versus the Buckeyes next week in Champagne. This is both a classic sandwich and lookahead spot. You cannot beat that in my opinion.
Tim Hiller much like last year has gotten better as the season has progressed. Western averages over 320 yards per game through the air which is good for 6th in the country. Illinois weakness defensively for past few years imo has been the secondary. This is where I think Western can stay in this game. The stats may not bear it out but stats can get skewed depending on who you are playing.
I am combining those three factors getting a TD and hook into a play. Good situation and been looking forward to it for a little while.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Oklahoma State and Texas Tech meet up in what should be a terrific game. Last year was a crazy battle. I remember well as I had Tech and got my first real exposure to Zac Robinson. The kid could not be stopped. He was simply amazing in my book with his dual threat abilities. State is showing a better defense this year as well. Even though it was a lookahead spot for Mizzou I still thought they did a great job versus Daniel. Not many other teams have ben able to do that the past few years.
Obvious letdown spot here for the boys from Lubbock. Fabulous win in what was one of the best games I have watched in awhile in terms of pure excitement and shifts of momentum. It was a tough spot for the Horns. Scheduling happens in sports. Nothing you can do about it. They will have the homecrowd again but in all honesty I think the better team here is Okie Lite.
The situation sets up. The Cowboys had an easy tune-up last week and showed good mental fortitude off that tough game at Texas. Other than the 37 spot Houston put up on them in Septemeber their defense has been very solid. I think Robinson is the difference in this game. Expecting a bit of a TT hangover early too to build a lead and get crowd out of the game.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not going to discuss the Iowa play too much now. I think guys like myself, Hunt, VK and imma guessing someone else will be on it as well can kind get a group discussion going in one of the threads. Been waiting for this one as well too.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
See Hunts thread about Alabama. He has been pimping this team for 2-3 months too me and I totally concur. Big assist to it being a 3:30 contest as well and not at night. December 6th we can see Alabama and Florida duke it out. Looking forward to getting 7 points with Bama then hopefully after more Gator love. And yes, I pimped Florida all off-season as a darkhorse NC contender
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
So, imma laying 38 in this Arizona game. You couldn't add up the aggregate total of all of Tru's chalk plays this year and come up with that number. Thats how big it is. I cannot remember how long its been since I layed this amount. The thing is, it has value..lmao. First of all, Wazzou over the course of the past 4 games is averaging 4 ppg. Thats sexy. That white flag has been thrown. They do not care. They rank 112th in defense and 119th in offense. Worst BCS team of all-time. Low moral up there and they just want to get the season done. Arizona is a top defensive ballclub by the numbers. Again, thats just numbers. That being said, if they show up Wazzou prolly gets shutout wih maybe a garbage 7. I see Arizona getting short fields and plenty of opportunities to score early and often. Teams score TD's against wazzou, not FG's a good majority of the time. Zona averages over 36 ppg while Wazzou gives up around 49 ppg. Thats a nice little recipe. Woodshed baby.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ah yes, the Michigan fade begins. This is all about this defense. You can talk about the offense and how it shows flashes and this that and looks like garbage at other times but the bottom line is this defense sucks. They are calling for Shaffers head after this lst game. Its not all him but mainly him. They put in the 3-3-5 in two days of practice last week. Well golly gee that worked well. The tackling fundamentals are so poor its sick. Its been showing all year. Don't be suprised by that 42 spot by UM last week either. As Hunt may have said somewhere that was a lot of short fields off kick-returns. Minor looked great again but thats about it. I am not harping on RR or anything. Its a rebuilding year but the defense hs been ever so dissapointing. Now with a bowl outta the question I think they look even more lifeless than last week Saturday up in the dome. Minnesota should be able to score pretty well and hopefully they got id of those inflated heads from last week. I see about a 14 point Minnesota win here. If for some reason Michigan rallies the troops and plays inspired on both sides so be it. Thats a win for the program. Kyle and O-state, of note---people on the Michigan boards are actually clamoring for Ron English to come back..lmao. Thought you would like that.
Editors note: Any comment I made about a loss on ECU, ignore. I started this when game was still 10-3. LMAO, I will take the push.
GL everyone this week.:shake:
