Kosar like I asked our friend from Iowa. So many games played so early this time of year. The weather can bite you in the butt fast. I wish you luck for I do like some of those plays. I just can't pull trigger this soon. If it was still September or early October maybe. No one seems to be winning big here this year. Maybe you and Mr Iowa can get some luck going.

BBC, lol, thanks for the welcome.

Gardenweasel- I took a look at Fresno, but I don't feel real comfortable with them after the debacle against Boise St. If Nebraska plays a defensive game like they did against Missouri, I think they can cover the 5 in what should be a lower scoring game. Definitely a no-play for me.

That's a mulch and that's good for your garden.

DJV,

I know what you're saying, but truthfully, weather doesn't play much of a factor in many games throughout the year. Waiting until the last minute trying to outguess the weather is much less valuable than playing 'what you perceive to be' games that are strong and likely, in your opinon, to move with you. Sometimes you're right and sometimes not. For instance, I could get Michigan at 3' now and probably would have been able to get 3 if I waited. Also, Tennessee is down to 2'. Probably mistakes. San jose St, on the other hand, is down to 16 and Clemson is down to 1', and Auburn is down to 3'. Those three games have moved with me just in the last 12 hours. I think those points and half-points are much more valuable than trying to find the one game a week that weather truly affects and then trying to figure out what to do with it.

A couple problems with weather are: weather reports that are wrong, they're just guessing after all. Even with a report that turns out to be accurate, now what do you do with it? Automatically take under if they call for wind/rain? No way. Automatically take the running-oriented team? No way. Pass on the game because it has turned into a coin-flip? Yes, but there just aren't that many games that are affected by this and meanwhile, you have (theoretically, and hopefully practically) lost lots of line value.

Nebraska... will not be able to hang with A&M :nono:

I agree with game will be low-scoring... but A&M is the more physical team.. and they will out-Husker the Huskers at their own game.

Good Luck..:rolleyes:

k-just an fyi

k-just an fyi

remember the missou game was at nebraska....a big difference(and they needed a late special teams td to cover)....they have played 3 on the road and have yet to win(much less cover)....also,alabama has lost at least the last 5 times in a row vs tennessee....this is their chance to scuttle that trend with by far,the better club....thanks for the response...and g.l.

Hey Raymond, who woke your ass up! LOL

And I thought you knew the rules about flipping me off on the forum. Don't make me open up a can of whoop-ass up on you in January!
