West Coast Bias – Week Twelve Plays
YTD: 26-28-1 LW: 2-1-1
337 Minnesota +7.5 – The Kitties have been a preferred side for us this season and we need one more win from them in their last two games to hit our season win total over the posted 7.5 games. However, the Kitties have won five straight games and have played two overtime games in that span, which seems like this run can’t last forever. Minny comes in with QB Croft looking better each week and we expect this game to be a nip and tuck affair. With the Gophers going for bowl eligibility this week, we expect a full effort from HC Fleck and the Gophers and for them to keep this game too close for comfort in Evanston.
339 Maryland OVER 43 – Note, weather will be a factor here, but there is just too much value on this total as we have this game lined at 54.5 points. Maryland has a weak run defense and Sparty should run all over them and with Maryland’s QB woes, Sparty should be able to create short fields and exploit the Terps. We expect Sparty to bounce back and inflict some pain of their own after being destroyed last week in Columbus, as this game should fly over the posted total that now sits at 43 on Saturday in the rain in East Lansing.
347 Air Force +17.5 – Our numbers have this game around 11 and this series has been close over the last few years with the Fly boys winning the last three, including the last meeting on the smurf turf in 2015. Boise comes in off an improbable win last week at Colorado State and has struggled the last couple of years against New Mexico and the Fly Boys (the two option teams Boise faces each year). Expect the Smurfs to have their hands full with the Fly Boys and the option attack on Saturday Night in Boise.
371 Arizona State -7 – ASU stumbled last week against a UCLA squad that still has talent and hits the road for a second week in a row, traveling to Corvallis. ASU has traditionally struggled in Corvallis against the Beavers, (losing 5 straight games here), however we expect the Devils to buck this trend as they are playing for bowl eligibility. ASU’s defense should get healthy this week against an out-manned Beaver squad that has seen 7 of their 9 losses this season be by double digits. One other tidbit is that the Beavers have been blown out five of the last six seasons before the Civil War game v. Oregon, losing by 48, 42, 24, 45 – we like for ASU to roll on Saturday in Reser Stadium.
