la tech (+8) 2 units. this line movement is insane. i have a feeling this is going to be a shootout. last team with the ball, wins.
la tech/nevada over (69.5) 1 unit.
oregon st (+16) 1 unit. i liked 'em a lot more until i really started looking at the numbers. this is not a typical oregon state team, that can run the ball and play defense (the simple formula to beat oregon. and, really, just about anybody.) but the week leslie neilson died, how can you not like the beavers? "Nice beaver." "Thanks, I just had it stuffed." :mj07:
south carolina (+5.5) 2 units. IF garcia can avoid the turnover (and that's always a huge IF with him), the cocks will win this game. they led 27-21 in the 4th quarter at auburn before garcia's fumble game the tigers the ball at the sc 26. 4 plays later, it was 28-27. next drive, garcia fumbled again, giving the tigers the ball at midfield. 4 minutes later, it was 35-27, and we didn't see garcia the rest of the game (shaw came in and threw 2 picks). it's always difficult to trust garcia to hold onto the ball. *full disclosure - auburn would be the worst team to ever play for the national championship, and i really, really, don't want to see that. so i am very biased in this pick. save your breath, auburn lovers, but they played one difficult road game all year, and 'bama handed 'em that game by leaving 18 points on the field in the first half. that game should have been over at halftime. if garcia can't avoid turnovers today, congratulations. you'll have the opportunity to be the worst national champ ever. but that won't matter. it'd just be nice to see that team play SOME defense.
washington st (+5) 2 units. love 'em on the money line, too. i fully expect the cougars to win this game. they have covered 3 straight home games, and the huskies have been far, far too inconsistent to be favored on the road against anybody.
nebraska (+4) 2 units. i'll take that defense getting points against bob stoops.
