Keep up the good work, Sooners! What is your opinion of your boys this week? My buddy in Chicago who is a large book claims that he is taking ALL Notre Dame action thus far. Makes me want to pound the Sooners after last week, since the books seemed to get hit pretty hard. I also think that the Irish don’t have the overall team speed to be able to play with Oklahoma all night. they have not played anyone thus far with great team speed, other than Miami, who is having a down year. I was at that game, and believe me, it could have been a completely different outcome if Miami doesn’t drop those balls early for TDs. Whioe ND has a great defense, only giving up 5 TDs thus far this year, they have not faced anyone that will spread them out like Oklahoma will be able to. That being said, if the Sooners jump on them early, I think the Irish will struggle to come back, having to utilize the pass. If there defense starts having to spend a bunch of time on the filed, I can see the sooners pulling away late and naming their number, really. Any insights form you would be greatly appreciated.
Alkymist, in my opinion OU is the side. But I’m staying away from the game this week. I don’t want to jinx them. Ha! I think the game comes down to OU’s ability to run the ball. If they can do that, it opens up their passing game and takes the pressure off Landry Jones. And we all know if it’s anything that throws him off his game it’s pressure. I think ND is built more for the Big 10 type of team more than they are in dealing with these spread offenses that utilize a lot of skill players and speed on the field. It’s an interesting contrast of styles. I can’t wait to watch this game to see how they match up. BOL this weekend
Thanks Pez. I upped my strength of play rating up to 3 stars for the BG game. I have a pretty good feeling about this team. Eastern Michigan is going from playing the worst defensive team on their schedule to the best D on their schedule. I think BG has a great chance to beat Ohio this year and win their divison. I look for a rematch with Toledo in the MAC title game.
OpeningLine..Even though EM has scored a lot of points in the last 2 weeks, I think this one has a decent chance to go under too. The last good defense EM faced was Kent State. And they were held to 14 points at home in that game. So I doubt they get more than that here unless BG gets up big early and EM scores in junktime. BOL this weekend.
Mike, I’m not sure if SC is going to take their frustrations out on Tennessee, or they are worn out from the last 3 weeks playing 3 top 10 teams. If I had to choose I would take the Tennessee side. I just wasn’t sure enough about this game to play it. But I definitely had a lean to the Vols. BOL. I hope you hit it.
Pez, Trent has had an outstanding run. One of the best that I’ve ever seen. He’s definitely in the zone. I played his Louisville over total tonight and pushed on my Louisville -3. We might have to start calling him Mr.October…ha!
BOL as Always. Hope ya get out the Broom and catch a Sweeper.
GoSooners are you going to do a write up on the Texas Tech/K-State game? I just don’t see what is so attractive about the Red Raiders here.

I like the Bowling Green pick. Was looking at that one myself. Good luck this week GS.

Bowling Green has also hit the unders in every game this year. Food for thought.

GL on penn state. I just don’t see Ohio State losing here, but I’ve been wrong many times before.
Seth, I could always be wrong. But I feel that PSU is on a mission, and this is their bowl game. The place will be rockin’ tomorrow. BOL this weekend.
Thanks gs.
What kept you off Tennessee? I’m on them at +14. So Carolina may be unfocused here

GS, Trent$$$ is 13-0 in the month of October. If he wins his pick tomorrow (same total we are on), he will finish with a perfect month. UNREAL!
