Hey everyone, looking at this week's card I really have not found anything that stuck out to me, as many games have big chalk(LSU, USC, Ohio ST,etc) and too many other games are too close to call(West Virginia/SF, Bama/FSU). I decided that I wanted to play an over team total this week and have been looking at some teams with some explosive offensive firepower. I was wondering who you all thought would be the best/strongest play of the bunch. So far I am strongly looking at
- Oklahoma over 39.5 against Colorado(I know they have Texas next week, but in order for them to crack the top two, they have to keep blowing people out, not to mention they have two stud RB's and an QB who is playing mistake free football)
- Cal over 33.5 against Oregon(this should be a wild west shootout, as neither team can play a lick of defense, as evidenced last week when Oregon let Stanford put up 31 against them. Cal has not played a tough defensive opponent all year and they are avg about 41.5 points. This is the toughest place to play in the Pac 10 and Cal has not at Autzen Stadium in 20 years, so I am not picking them to win/cover but I think scoring should not be a problem for them)
- Alabama over 21(They do not quite have the offensive firepower as the two aforementioned teams, and FSU has a pretty good defense, but I think it will be difficult for either team to run the ball with any consistency/success, and I believe FSU is vulnerable in pass defense, not to mention in big time/pressure games Weatherford tends to fold and should be good for a pick 6 or two. In what should be a close game, I think Bama can score at least 21.
