Week 3
- Thread starter Blackman
- Start date
The don't laugh pick of the week:
Bucknell +20....Cornell went 4-5 last year, lost to Bucknell by 6, beat the Bison by 2 two years ago. Of their 4 wins last season, only one was double digits, and that was a 12 point victory over Yale. These high Ivy lines are often worth a look, because the players are the skill positions are not very dymanic, the offenses are very plain, and the scoring is often very low. Any team catching almost 3 TDs is worth some research.
I won't pull any punches with Bucknell, they stink, but they hang in games. Lost in OT to Georgetown and lost on a last second field goal to Stony Brook last week. Bucknell plays games close to the hip and keep it tight thoughout, only to lose late. I'm comfortable with them catching this many points.
Cornell's first game of the year, Bucknell's 3rd, I like this doggies chances of making a game out of this.

Miami Ohio -6...Kent State scored a very decieving 33 points last week, their lack of ground production is a real concern. Miami Oh is going to be able to score all day in my opinion.
Thanks Irish.
My only concern with BC is that they have not played a team as quick and athletic as FSU, this game will probably come down to which team can impose their style on the other and dictate the pace of the game.
I heard an interview with Bobby Ross this week and he said the BC offensive line was the toughest he had to prepare for in years, college or NFL. Huge compliment coming from a big time coach.
Have all day to consider if I'll make this a two unit play. BC @ BYU was my only two unit wager so far this season, but I am considering calling on BC again for a biggy. Have to see how the early action pans out.

Kentucky ML +110....they've owned this rivalry, and I like this offense and it's efficiency. Both teams will score, but the Wildcats won't turn it over as much as the Hoosiers (at least I hope)
GL on your plays today Blackman. Really like my chances when I'm on the same side as yours :mj14:
