1/1 Playoff Games

[Smitty]

Great insight and info. How do you see Indiana coming into this being off? Geez it seems all these teams coming off a bye week are losing? I very disappointed in Tech but very impressed with the Ducks. Good luck and happy new year.

well, obviously i am betting indiana will struggle just like everyone else has. doesn't matter how good the coaching staff is... 3 1/2 weeks is a long pause to overcome.

i still think indiana is the much better team. especially defensively. but the pressure really mounts when you fall behind in big games. it's tough to dig out of these holes, as we've seen.

 

[Smitty]

gee, i wonder if oregon will score the meaningless td to fuck me on the team total.

Tx tech calling timeouts. Unreal

just more idiotic head coaching

So you call all three time outs down 0-16. It's not a 1 score game. So you do that to go down more and to run one more run for 9 yards. What is the point? So dumb.

oh, for the love of god. i wasn't even paying attention, because i was just FFing to the inevitable. i noticed there were some TOs, but didn't even think about who called them. Of course it wasn't oregon. FUCK. FUCKING ASSHOLES. why the actual fuck?

Yeah, for sure Oregon was trying to just run the clock out. Texas Tech head coach made them score. They had no other choice. To me only thing that makes since of it all is Texas Tech head coach had Oregon tt over.

"Rose Bowl"
Ok, I'm definitely betting on Indiana getting off to a slow start.

Big loss for the Hoosiers, as DL Stephen Daley was injured against Ohio St and is out for this game. He's a run-stuffer and had 5.5 sacks. They may not need the run-stuffing against Alabama's surprisingly feeble ground game, but all hands on deck is always preferable.

I think DeBoer gets a bad rap... nobody is going to fill Nick Saban's shoes. He's a decent coach. However, I'll take Cignetti over just about anyone now, so advantage Indiana.

If this is a close, low-scoring game, Indiana has a big edge in the kicking game. Radicic is 15-of-16 this year. However, his long is only 46 yards. Talty for Alabama always looks scared to me. He's just shaky. He is 15-of-22 with two of those misses under 30 yards. And his long is just 48 yards.

In fact, somebody correct me if I'm wrong (Boomer?), but it seems to me that Alabama's special teams have been shaky overall. At least against Oklahoma.

One note I should have mentioned earlier... every single team I bet in the first quarter... the other team WILL get the ball first. It's a given.

Alabama 1Q (+2.5) 4.6 to win 4
Indiana 1Q TT Under (6.5) 4.6 to win 4
Alabama 1H (+4.5) 3.6 to win 3

I really like Indiana to win this game. But I can't lay 7.5 on a team off the long layoff right now. 0-6 is a strong trend, and it's not random.

My thought is to maybe play Indiana after they fall behind.

Holy shit what an interesting way to hit 2 biggies like that!

I had the same and that was close. Esp them stopping the clock twice for no reason

I'm afraid to even start watching the Rose Bowl.

"Sugar Bowl"
Georgia is still without starting C Drew Bobo, who was injured against Georgia Tech. Malachi Toliver stepped in and was ok against Alabama. He's rated as very good in pass protection, but he's a huge drop-off in run blocking. Plus, there are so many intangibles from the C (primarily line communication). They got by against Alabama, but only put up 297 yards of offense, including 141 on the ground on 41 carries (3.4 yards/carry). In the first matchup with Ole Miss, they ran for 221 on 49 carries (4.5/carry). They really pounded the rock, despite trailing for most of the game. I don't think they'll be able to do that as effectively tonight.

Ole Miss should have plenty of confidence coming into this one, not to mention some revenge on their mind. They led until halfway through the 4th quarter at Georgia (despite Georgia outgaining them by ~ 150 yards and owning the time of possession by 15 minutes). Oh, and they got rid of Lane Kiffin.

Ole Miss 1Q (+2.5) 6 to win 5
Georgia 1Q TT Under (6.5) 4 to win 5.2
Ole Miss 1H (+3.5) 4 units
Ole Miss (+6) 4 units
Ole Miss (ML) 2 to win 4

(just took a peek at the rose bowl... looks like indiana ended the first quarter at the alabama 13. PHEW! i mean, never a doubt! although the book hasn't paid it as a winner yet. i'm getting nervous.)

just saw rock's post... YES!! can't wait to see what the hell actually happened. but a win is a win is a win. lord knows i need a few now.

You good!

 

[Smitty]

man, i'm glad i knew what happened before i watched the end of the quarter. the clock stoppage with 2 seconds left would have given me an aneurysm.

unfortunately, there's obviously no value in betting indiana now. i was hoping it would take them a little longer to get going.
