Today's Degeneration pick.....
Valor Christian / Cherry Creek Under 38'... 1 unit...LOSS.... (-120) *Back to the beautiful state of Colorado for yet another Valor game. Both teams limp in with combined records of 3-5. Neither team has really played to their potential. Both teams look to turn around their seasons with a much needed W.
Valor has played a brutal pre-league schedule. Unfortunately, what started as a quest for national recognition playing cross state powerhouses, has been a lesson in humility. No doubt the team is dangerous and while hasn't lived up to its reputation, can still make a run for another Colorado State title by winning its league. Certainly, no team will look forward to playing them. Valor actually had a lead last week against the #1 ranked team in Colorado (Pomona) at the half, 16-3. But, gave up 20 unanswered points in the second half to lose 23-16, which pushed record to 1-3. This is Valors final non-league game. They average 18.8 ppg. Note: Valor hasn't been 1-3 since 2010 when it went on to win the 4A State Championship.
Cherry Creek also comes in a bit disappointed with a 2-2 record. They are a bit inexperienced at QB with a Soph caller, Alex Padilla, who is searching his way. Last week the offense was shut down only scoring 6 points. A lot of history with Cherry Creek (ironic, if I remember my high school history, Cherry Creek sparked the Colorado Gold Rush)... They won the State in 2014. These two hooked horns twice last year, with Valor winning 10-0 in schedule, and losing again to Valor 20-10 in State semi-finals. Bruins are averaging 17 ppg this year.
Both teams have great defense, which is what I think this one will turn into. Bruins will be looking for some revenge from ly, however, QB Dylan McCaffrey has yet to have a break out game for Eagles. I think Valor probably wins it on the fact they have played a much tougher schedule, but 9' is more than I'm willing to lay until Valor proves they are on all cylinders. I think we might have another defensive masterpiece with this one.... Gl.
Houston TT Over 39 (3 units).... WIN....... UConn couldn't stop Orange passing attack last week giving up 407 yards and 2 tds through the air. Greg Ward Jr should be licking his chops for this match-up. Cougs are 4-0 l4 on turf,and 7-2 Ats in last 9. Cougs are 6-1 ATS in last 7. UConn handed Houston only loss last year, so major revenge angle here, coupled with being ranked #6 nationally will mean style points if Houston gets the chance as they have to stay in good graces of powers that be. Probably a cover as Houston Defense is overlooked but very strong.
North Carolina AT&T - 14 over Hampton... 3 units...WIN...... . (-120).. NcAT&T has owned Hampton last 2 years. Hampton has lost last 4 of 6 on the road. Aggies lost last week to a very good Tulsa squad. They haven't lost back to back games since 2013. QB Raynard is completing 62.7%of his passes. Hampton QB only averaging 50%. Defensively, Pirates giving up almost 30 points per game.
Aggies are the better team and have played a much tougher schedule. Should win by 21...gl.
