I like Oregon, but then again I liked N.ILL and they got killed! These are small plays for me...my big one's haven't come yet. GL!
i like byu, oregon has qb. problems... leaf is ok but dixon sux... if dixon is getting drilled, he takes himself out of the game. too much drama
take cougs -3

I like BYU. Last yr in their bowl game they lost to Cal 28-35 and a regular season loss to BC 3-20. They couldn't run or stop the run. This season they lost to AZ 13-16 and @ BC 23-30. They are a better team with Jonh Beck a yr wiser. Bottom line : big edge at Qb, they are better @ the run game on both sides. Byu would have to come out flat and the Ducks would have to play the perfect game to stay close.
take byu....ducks cant stop this offense....and they're not to thrilled to be in the vegas bowl....disappointing season overall....they pretty much quit after losing to wazzu.....they were very high on themselves after beating ucla and then got mopped at wazzu.....then beat two shitty teams in port. st. and washington at home and bitched up losing their final 3....this team is a very fragile team mentally....soft psyche....no come back in them whatsoever....if byu jumps on them early(which i think they can and will),then these kids will quit....they can't play well from behind...byu is 10-2 and has led in every game they have played in at the half....their 2 losses came on the road at arizona and at bc....az game was 1st game of the year and they lost by 7 in ot at bc....then proceeded to win their last 9 in a row....the ducks on the other hand are 4-5 in their last 9 losing the last 3 in a row....2 teams headed in different directions imo....the fact that byu has never trailed at the half and the fact that the ducks cant play from behind tells me the ducks are in trouble....i know this team and program pretty well and can say that if for some reason they are able to be up on byu at the half and get in a shootout then they have action cuz their offense can be explosive(just way too inconsistent)....johnnyb is right....way too much drama with this team.....do they have the talent and playmakers to win? absolutely!! but they are big time underachievers and in many respects believe alot of their own hype....they are loaded with talent and egos....as soon as someone comes out and socks them in the mouth they fold up.....they lack discipline and heart....its a shame....special teams-stink....qb dixon or leaf?jekyl or hyde?dont know what ur gonna get game to game....runningbacks stewart and johnson-awesome.....receivers-very good(j williams is awesome)....o-line-good....d-line-avg.
linebackers-booty.....secondary-suprisingly ok(how i have no idea...lucky?)anyway thats my take....i'll be on byu 1st half and game....like how the line was byu -5.5 and has been steadily getting knocked down the last 2 weeks.....i'll take it....dont know what they see but i know what i see....byu early and often

This was my pick of the bowls w/ BYU. Then got scared w/ the 5.5 getting drilled down to 2.5. But this Oregon is flatout a bunch of chumps. They quit like LET'S EAT said and they just aren't very good IMO.
Also, BYU lost on a last second fg to Zona and should have never lost to BC. This team can score at will and the defense is very good.
I look for a 10 to 20 pt win for the COUGARS!!

just to let some of u know.....take a look at byu 2nd half +pts....the ducks have a tough time playing from behind.....think they'll quit and this could be a blowout with the high probability of the ducks turning it over in the 2nd half....just my opinion.....but this is setting up just like i thought and hoped.....gotta luv these knuckleheads....all show and no go....le
