College Ball Week #6

[Mr. Poon]

YTD Record: 12-16 for -4.5 units


Ohio St. -4.5 for 3 units - Pelini's Defenses typically have a hard time against mobile QB's and the Huskers pitiful performance against UCLA earlier this year reaffirmed that. Anyone that watched last year's game between these two teams know that if Miller doesn't get injured the result is much different. Buckeyes are head and shoulders above any other team in the mediocre Big Ten this year and it will show Saturday night.

will ride this one with you. 2nd straight tough game for huskers. good luck my man:toast:

 

[Master Capper]

I would agree on Pelinis defense struggling against mobile QB's, but not so sure OSU is heads and shoulders the best team in the Big 10. I still like Purdue as the most complete team.

 

[capping-guru]

I think homefield is big in this one. Plus, Huskers are so inconsistent in all facets of the game. OSU has the better coach too. Too many of the intangibles make me side with OSU. GL

 

[Full court press]

Both teams coming off of tough games and like CG I think that the home field may be the difference here.

'head and shoulders' may be a bit much I guess, but from what I've seen they are the best. Purdue is good and I expect them to make it to Indy given OSU isn't eligible.

agree on the home field advantage factor that CG and FCP commented on. Can see this game being much like their game against Michigan last year for the Huskers. Some turnovers and no home crowd to rally behind and it just snow balls.

Wiscy should lose 3 more conference games, they are a shell of the team they were the last 2 years. Ball has averaged only 3.6 ypc so far against a pretty average schedule. Their line isn't what it use to be. On D, they have no one outside of Borland it seems able to make a play.

BYU -7 for 1 unit


OSU line sure moved the opposite way I thought it would. What a square. :facepalm:

adding:

Like BYU. These guys are a completely different team w/o Nelson. Their Defense is awesome too.

 

[Mr. Poon]

agree ldabdou. Their D is playing real well and I'm expecting another good home performance for them tonight.

 

[Mr. Poon]

I can't believe BYU missed on so many chances. Great way to start the weekend.

For Saturday:

Penn St. -2.5 for 1.5 units
Michigan -3 for 1.5 units
Mizzou -7 for 1 unit
Georgia +1.5 for 1 unit
Miami +14 for 1 unit

 

[ldabdou]

I'll be on Mizzou and Mich. Yeah BYU was still the right side just bad breaks. GL

 

[Mr. Poon]

adding a late one:

UCLA -3 for 1/2 unit

 

[Mr. Poon]

adding:

Neb/OSU 2H Under 30 for 1/2 unit

 

[Mr. Poon]

3-6 on the weekend, but hit the OSU 3 unit play and the two 1.5 units to be slightly positive.

Updated Record: 15-22 for -4.0 units
