Some thoughts:
Week 4 started rough for me losing my first 3 plays but rebounded to have a good Sat sans the UGA 1st half. All in all, was my first losing week of the year but the damage wasn't bad.
I may be hitting 1% in games involving Clemson in my betting career, doesn't matter if I am on or against them. I jumped the gun on the SoCal offense, they just are not very good on that side of the ball and the play calling sucks. If you would have told me before the game that Utah St would be held to 14points, under 300yds of offense, Chucky would be held to 15yds on the ground - face pressure in the pocket all day, and SoCal would start drives on the USU 45, SoCal 44, SoCal 47, USU 24, USU 34, and USU 30, I would have been pretty sure that the Trojans would win the game by DD but they managed to come away with 17 points. I leaned Stanford hard but didn't pull the trigger but I think it will be hard for me to stay away from ASU this weekend. Wisky RB Melvin Gordon is a stud. While the Baylor 1st Q score may have been misleading because ULM botched 3 red zone possessions, they did exactly what I thought they would...Run up the score. I can not wait to lay the hammer with Baylor next week at home vs. WVU coming off a bye. I see that game getting very ugly and with the big spread that this game will be lined at, we can all be very sure that Baylor will never stop trying to get in the end zone. I thought Baylor and Colo St were my best 2 bets of week 4.
I am very close to playing LSU+3 and a little on the ML. Amazing what a difference Cam Cameron has been to the LSU offense I just hope Mettenberger doesn't amp himself up too much heading into the hedges to play his former school.
I am having a hard time talking myself off of laying the points on the road with the U. I don't love the idea of laying 18.5 on the road but the bulls are flat out a terrible team and I imagine Miami rolls here.
UConn line movement has me doubling checking my lean in this game. It is UConn or no bet for me but once again a big line movement happens in a UConn game. It didn't work out for those backing them vs. Maryland but this time the line is going against the huskies which has me hesitant to pull the trigger.
Someone talk to me about UT-San Antonio, I have not gotten a chance to watch 1 play of their season yet. Line looks sketchy to me.
Play #2:
UDub -10 (2.2/2)
'Zona gave UDub a beating last season and that has not been forgotten by the players and coaches. The Huskies look like one of those teams that may be very tough to go on the road against and walk away with a win unless you are one of the elite teams and Zona is not one of those. The Rich Rod's are off a bye and have not been tested yet this season. How will they react when they are punched in the mouth because that is going to happen in this game. I see a Washington team with balance and play makers at positions all over the field. I see a 'Zona team as a 1 man show and unless 'Zona QB Denker shows he can actually make plays in the passing game, RB Carey is going to face a stacked box as the huskies will dare Denker to beat them with his arm. While the Zona offense has some gaudy stats on paper, it does not look like an offense that is built to play from behind because of the lack of a legit passing attack. I see Washington coming out the gate quickly on offense and jumping out to a decent sized lead early. This will get Arizona out of their comfort zone and along with the running game being stuffed because of a stacked box - Zona will be forced to go to the air more than they would like. When you run a quick-tempo offense like Arizona does and you go 3 and out, it stresses your defense. This is where Washington will flex its muscle in the 2nd half against a gassed Arizona defense. I think UDub puts a hurting on Arizona to the tune of something around 41-17.
