11/2 Ncaaf - Asu & Wsu

[Livin' Large]

YTD: (10-4) +320

Arizona State +7**

Sole possession of first place in the PAC-10 is on the line today. The Cougars have won 5 in a row and the Sun Devils have won 3 in a row. Washington State is 4-0 at home and Arizona State is 2-1 on the road. The Sun Devils own quality wins over Oregon State and Oregon, and the Cougars own quality wins over California and USC. Arizona State beat Oregon on the road, so don't expect the Devils to be the least bit intimidated by playing in Pullman. Arizona State lost last year's meeting 16-28 at home, snapping a four game winning streak against Washington State. The Cougars will play today's game without starting linebacker Davis, starting defensive back David, and kickoff specialist Holliday. I think Arizona State wins this game straight up.

Good luck!

Tennessee -1.5**

Tennessee is 16-2-2 all-time against South Carolina, including 9 in a row. The Vols are 5-2-2 all-time in Columbia. Simply put, the Vols own the Cocks. Tennessee comes into this game with the more balanced offense and the better run defense. Tennessee will be missing wide receiver Washington again, but South Carolina will be without Brewer, its most valuable player.

Good luck!

Should be a close game today, hope you're wrong with this one. One thing is for certain, not having Brewer in the lineup is going to hurt. Good luck on all of your other games today.

Texas -3**

Nebraska has lost once in the last 74 games played in Lincoln. Guess who beat them? That's right, Texas. Both teams are stingy against the run:

TEX - 126 yards per game/3.5 yards per carry
NEB - 131 yards per game/3.5 yards per carry

If Texas is having difficulty running the ball, then the Longhorns can rely to the passing game (209 yards per game). Nebraska is allowing an average of 212 passing yards per game. On the other hand, if Nebraska can't run the ball on Texas, then the Huskers are shit out of luck because they have no passing game whatsoever (106 yards per game). Texas finally steps up and wins a big game late in the season.

Good luck!

Georgia -1**

The Bulldogs are 8-0. They own quality wins over South Carolina, New Mexico State, Alabama, Tennessee and Kentucky. Georgia also has major revenge on its mind. Florida has won 11 of the last 12 meetings between these two teams, including 4 in a row. Florida is down this year and Georgia is the real deal. Key stat for this game:

Rush defense:
FLA - 161 yards per game/4.0 yards per carry
UGA - 125 yards per game/3.2 yards per carry

Good luck!
