MAXIMIZE YOUR EDGE
I really like your card so far, GS.
The Iowa State game is off the board now. TCU QB got popped for a DWI last night.
Any comments on the Sooners this week?
Doug..OU has issues. Some can be resolved fairly quickly, and some not. Right now i just don’t trust OU enough on the road to play them with confidence. At this point, it wouldn’t surprise me if OU won by 20 or lost by 20. Judgling by the Sooners latest offensive play, I do kind of like the under in this game. But that’s about the farthest I can go in trying to predict anything with OU.
GS, I like the Cuse here -1. I think Vegas made a mistake with this line and it got hit hard. Pitt should not be laying pts to cuse on the road.
Card looks great, looks like a couple of consensus plays on UVA and the Terrapins. BOL my friend
What are your thoughts on the BYU/Utah St game friday night..
thanks
Sendacash, my line on the game is Syracuse -1. So Vegas was definitely off to my line. It’s amazing how Pitt beating a Virginia Tech team gives you more street cred. Even if that team isn’t very good right now.
Falcon, my line on the BYU/Utah State game is BYU -10. There really aren’t any situational factors that I know that could affect this game. I aslo don’t see an advantage either way when it comes to the motivational factor. I think Utah State wants to win this because it means they will have knocked off their two in-state rivals. And BYU will be motivated to win it because they’ve already lost to Utah. They won’t want to lose to both Utah teams in one season. Which can be disatorous when it comes to their regional recruiting.So if I had a lean here it would be with BYU. But a very small lean. It will probably be a low scoring game. BOL
Doug, I don’t have a strong opinion either way with OU/TT. My feeling is OU should be able to win a game like this. But I’m not sure they can cover on the road in Lubbock. Stoops hasn’t lost two games in a row since 1999.So the Sooners do have an excellent bounce back record. Something to take into consideration here if you like Tech. I also kind of like the under. Offensive line problems are usually something that isn’t quickly fixed. As we’ve seen with Wisconsin. I guess we’ll find out if Tech’s defense is for real. Just keep in mind that they haven’t faced a team this year that averages more than 325 total yards per game. So this is kind of a tough game to cap. That’s why I left it alone. Good luck.
I also like K State team total over 39 if the large spread scares you.
Snow, imo if Kansas State doesn’t cover the spread, the game goes under the total. My only concern here is KSU getting off to a slow start. If they can come out and get the early lead, I think they’ll roll. BOL
I know K State is pretty good at holding onto the ball, but on 3+ TD spreads, an inopportune turnover can kill you. I think K State is going to get theirs regardless, but sometimes I like not having to worry about the backdoor.
Ultimately, I agree with you. I think State takes this one handily.
Snow, your right about the backdoor. Which is the reason why I try not to make it a habit of giving a boatload of points. I much rather take the dog and put all of the pressure on the favorite to have to both win AND cover.
GS, The only situational factor I can think of with BYU is that they have Oregon St on deck next week at home. What line would you put on that game? Thanks
To add to that last point, BYU has a road game AT Notre Dame after the Oregon St game and then G Tech after that. A very tough 3 game set in their future. so maybe they take it easy here and try to coast, not show to much I don’t know.
Sendacash, we have to keep in mind that just about every game is big for BYU because they are an independent that needs every win they can get to reach a prestigious bowl. Utah State on the other hand has a huge conference game on the road next week against SJST. I’m sure Utah State really wants this one, but in the grand scheme of things, it’s the game next week that will mean the most for them in the long run since SJST is one of the big dogs in the conference along with Utah St and LT. It’s always a possibility that BYU will coast. But knowing Mendenhall, he’s going to really want this one to keep the upper hand in-state for recruiting. It’s hard to sell your team when you have to tell a recruit they lost to both Utah And Utah State last year.
GoSooners thanh you for you insight to the Sooners matchup this week. You know i live and die, sometimes by the home doggie in the Big 12. Down through the years i have become a dog player in most all sports. I do in fact like this home dog alot. As you say OU can win by 20, but they can also lose to TT just like they did last year. I think the Sooners have grave problems this year.
Heres my card
Texas Tech +5.5
Conn +7.5
Purdue +3
Ky +10.5
Miss + 13.5
Forida +3
BOL to ALL
Doug, your UCONN, Florida and Ole Miss plays were definitely on my list. I’m trying to keep my plays down to 7 or 8 each week if possible. And there’s a couple here that you listed that I wrestled with all week. I’ll probably wish I had included them. But at least i have a half a unit on these 3 games. So hopefully both of us can win. BOL to you tomorrow. I hope you kill it.
Really like Vandy +7. Nice job getting ISU on the +11.
mrsolodolo21…I also put a little down on TCU -7 to try to middle it. A 4 point difference is too good to pass up.Now we’ll see how much Pachall was really worth to the line. BOL with your plays this weekend. And go Vandy!
