YTD 103-82-2 +24.55 Units

Going to tread lightly this week and try not to play 30 games like last week. Starting with 2 dogs. The lines for these two games are overvalued.

Kansas +22**
This line makes no sense. Lets face it, anyone watching any sort of college football knows that the Jayhawks are vastly improved and playing with confidence that they have not known since 1995 when they went 10-2. Taking a look back when the Jayhawks were not that good the line for this yearly game was as follows:
2002 +35/2001 +21/2000 +23.5/1999 +29.5/1998 +29/1997 +23.
So now they are 22 pt. dogs. Ummmmmmm.......overvalued by a TD. KSU pulled away late on Colorado and lost 3 in a row prior to the win against the Bufs. This line will drop so grab it now.
Kansas has been consistent on offense and KSU has given up big plays every game this year. Jayhawks scored 28, 50, 35, 41, 42, 46,& 28 this year. They put up 35 on Missouri on the road!

Arizona +18.5**
Yes, I am taking the Wildcats. They made me some money early in the season but now this team has gotten their act together. Finally their new coach is going with Farmer at RB and this guy will allow Heavner some time as teams can no longer blitz like before as they now have a running threat. Defense has played better as well. That WSU score 2 weeks ago was misleading. Wildcats were down 13 mid 4th Q. then a few TO's and it had blowout material written all over it. Well that suits me just fine as this line is overvalued. Wildcats could have easily beat UCLA. They lost by 3 but were first and goal with 2 min. to go from the 5 yd. line but choked. Coming off the bye week the new coach will finally be able to implement a little of what he would like to do with his schemes. This team will not quit now and I think Cal has a bit of a letdown after their big in-state game with UCLA. I don't think Cal wins by double digits. Arizona has a few winnable games left and they need to win 1 more before the end of the season, why not this one. On the road with no pressure of the home fans and lets face it Wildcats have nothing to lose.

Other leans - UNLV, LSU & UCLA.
Total leans - T.Tech/Miss u73(Tigers run the ball alot and will chew up time) Ark./Miss u56.5(Hogs run the ball alot as well)

Thoughts or comments are appreciated! Back later with a play or two!

GLTA!

Gl Horns! I was thinking that Arizona looks good to me as well. . . they always seem to play Cal very well ESPECIALLY on the road. They are always a better road team anyways.

Horns-

Totally agree about Jayhawks. They have brought in a bunch of JUCOs that have made them respectable in a hurry. Been on them most of the year unfortunately last week was one of them.

Disagree on the Tech total. This will be the sixth week in a row I will be on Tech over. Missouri has a pretty good O and not much D. They may run alot, so did OkSt. Tech can't stop anything. Tigers runs will be long and for TDs.

Good luck to you.

Adding:

Ten.-3* (-118)(bought the .5 pt.)
Vols have owned Alabama over the years and are coming off bye week. Tide has not been able to stop quality teams and have given up pts. to top schools and had trouble scoring against quality teams. Vols will pass on this D and it should set up the run nicely. Tide don't have the athletes to compete with the Vols. The probation has hurt this teams depth big time and it is going to Shula 2-3 years to get this team back to their dominant selves. Vols are a solid road team and Tide have not been great ATS this year, either in fav or dog role at home.

Even though there starting quarterback will be out for this game I like UAB to cover the LARGE number of 29

My book (olympic) doesn't have this line up yet, but as soon as they do I will be on it.

Love this pick :cool:

Adding:

Baylor +34*
Yes the Baylor Bears. Longhorns will not cover the number with Neb. on deck. Bears will play this game like their SuperBowl. Longhorns make too many mistakes, game in and game out. This will allow the Bears to stay inside the number. Too big a number. Going to bite.

UAB +29**(did not get to do write-up earlier)(now a 2 Unit play)
We all saw Georgia sleep walk through the first half last week at Vandy. Well with Florida on deck and Georgia again not wanting to show too much with the Gators in a bye week I see UAB staying inside the number. UAB scored 24 on the road at TCU against a tough TCU defense. Georgia will shove in reserves early and often in this game as they are at home and Richt will give many of his kids a chance to play in front of the home fans. I really like this Georgia team but more than 4 TD's is asking too much as UAB will chew up some clock and should get me at least 10 pts. which will cash my ticket. I think this number is too high and Georgia is 1-6 ATS the last 7 years before Georgia. Did not go back further.

Adding:

Purude +5*
I have been so impressed with the Boiler's consistency on both sides of the ball. They don't make many mistakes and their defense has been solid all year. This Senior laden team could very well be 7-0 and are road tested coming into Michigan. This Senior class is 2-1 against Michigan. Purdue won at Wisky last week and at WF when they were playing better ball. Michigan on the other hand has MSU on deck while MSU is on a bye week. Michigan has beat up on some average teams at home and struggled against Iowa and Minny both quality teams. Now they face their toughest test yet and they are giving up 5 pts. at home. Lets see, lost to Oregon by 4(when the Ducks were playing better ball), lost to Iowa by 3 and barely won at Minny by 3. Now they are going to give up 5 pts. in their toughest game of the year to date. Purdue D will cause Navarre problems as their secondary will not allow him to stretch the field. Purdue solid against the run and I personally think Perry is overrated. He has yet to post the great numbers against quality teams that he has posted against weak competition. I will gladly take the points. Purdue could win this game outright if they manage the game the way they did against Wisky.

ND will be a no play for me as I have people e-mail me about the game. ND could very well win this game but could self destruct as well. ND should have alot of success running the ball against BC. If the ND defense can play a complete game they get the win. I will sit back and enjoy the game.

Adding:

UCLA -3*
Bruins have one of the best defenses in the PAC-10 and David Ball has been a horse on D for the Bruins racking up 11.5 sacks so far. They have been consistent all year and now the ASU offense faces a real test with the Bruins D. ASU put up 650 yds. against a weak UNC D. The ASU D has held up well over the season but wear down over the course of the game due to the ASU offense. Devils offense have been so inconsistent and has many 3 and outs which forces the ASU D to be on the field for long periods of time. Same should happen here. ASU offense is going to have problems with the Bruins D. As well the Bruins have been consistent on offense. At times they do just enough and at other times they hit the long ball. Their running game has been solid as well. UCLA wins by a TD.
