Fri

[big papi]

After going over the Friday games I really like Maryland +4.5 for the following reasons:

1) The Pac 10 is a horrible conference besides USC. ASU enough said.

2) Ralph Friedgen is an EXCELLENT coach who does not get enough credit. He gets the most out of his team and they are not even that talented. He has won his last 3 bowl games 95-17!:scared

3)Oregon St was outscored by a combined score of 74-17 in games against UCLA and Cinncy. Oh and they lost to ASU 44-32. They beat Utah but that was the first game of the season at home and Utah's QB got hurt in that game. They did win at Cal by 3 but I believe Cal's QB did not play that game and Cal's backup QB got sacked at the end of the game when Cal was well with in FG range.

4)Maryland has been competitive in almost every game. Yes they lost to WV by 17 but they beat a solid BC team and they won at Rutgers.

I think Maryland wins this game outright and I will be playing them on the ML as well. If they lose I think it will be by a FG.

Agree with you here Papi... Like the turtles. The only thing that kinda scares me is OSU has the 2nd rush D in the nation...

I have faith in Coach Ralph he will find away. The Pac 10 is not really a running league so I think that stat is a bet skewed. Cal's RB ran for 150 on them so it is not like it is impossible.

Very true... Will you look at the lines my bookie gave me and give me some input?

Sure but I am no expert! There are many good cappers here Thunder, Destructor D, Volfan, Cie Grant, Colloid is like 15-3:scared and many others. I try to look at everyones picks whether that be on this forum, other forums, so called experts picks, read as much information on the games and then come up with my own.

Adding Mich St +5. It seems like almost everybody is on BC.:nono: :nono: I don't see them to excited to be playing in this game. Mich St has not lost a game by more than 7 pts all yr!
