Jenny: Are you stupid or something?


God, I'm hoping I can manage to get something to the house before likely getting smoked with the only dog play that appeals to me.


Cincinnati(-22' and -21') over Syracuse (1.5*)
- -

Cincinnati(-22') over Syracuse (1*)
- - I see a blowout; AR182 sums it up well: http://www.madjacksports.com/forum/showpost.php?p=2194450&postcount=8 . . . "Broken arm and all, Tony Pike led No. 19 Cincinnati to a place it's never been . . . He led the Bearcats to the pinnacle of a season in which they went through four quarterbacks because of injury. For Pike, a junior playing with a broken left (non-passing) forearm, it was the best yet . . . He matched his career high for touchdown passes and ran Cincinnati's no-huddle, spread offense almost flawlessly against the conference's best road team. Pike completed a career-high 26 passes in 32 attempts for 309 yards, and ran several draw plays that exposed his arm to hits . . .. "We could not make a play on that quarterback," Pitt coach Dave Wannstedt said. "He was incredible. I give him credit. We couldn't get him down, and not just running. He made some great throws."" ~ sportsline.com

The BCS berth has now been clinched without playing . . . But the hay is in the barn on their week of preparation, and now they get to feel the love and apply the exclamation point without any pressure . . . I bumped the play for 0.50* at -21'.


Texas Tech(-22) over Baylor (1*)
- -


Oklahoma(-7)(-120) over Oklahoma State (1*)
- - If Big Game Bob Stoops doesn't have his swagger back with that team before a 10-20% empty stadium, then he deserves to be compared to Mike Gundy.


Boston College(-6') over Maryland (1*)
- - Maryland, after overachieving against overrated opponents, was exposed in a senior day beatdown, and will struggle to rebound on the road against this defense; that same defense will elevate the offense and their redshirt QB.

Oregon State(-3) over Oregon (1*)
- - With the Roses 60 minutes away, in this home dominated series I'll stick with the defense and team with the heart you can see that's brought me some cash already. The journey is the reward.

My day is going to be defined by the loss with Cincinnati, unless it's defined by not taking Alabama and Florida (the next two teams on my play list) because I already had enough chalk, unless it's defined by this doomsday move:


Notre Dame(+33) over USC (1*)
Notre Dame/USC(Ov49) (1*)
- - This Irish squad has no business firing blanks in this year's edition of the greatest intersectional rivalry in college football, and I'm not betting both of those plays to hope just one of them comes through.
