Small play on Thur nite with Nebraska -10[wish I could of gotten it at -8 like many of you]

Neb defense is tough.So Miss offense is bad.Possibe backup Qb is going to run the offense.Lord and co. running game will put So Miss defense on the field all day.Esp when offense will be 3 up and punt.
Neb should win this by 2 Td's.One problem about Neb. is, they are terrible on "grass".They love the artificial stuff.Last 3 yrs they are a .500 team on grass.
But think size of the lines favors Neb.Huskies running game should dominate.

Some early leans and still capping....

Vir Tech -22 over UConn

I Have been on UConn bandwagon.Love Orluvsky,Caulley,etc.
Offense can score.Big WR's,solid OL line.They did stumble vs BC.
But Vir Tech is a different "breed".
UConn defense will not be able to stop Randall and Jones.UConn DL and LB's are solid.But the DB's are weak.Their small.VT 's attack will be like Paul Revere's warning cry" One by land,two by air".
UConn will have a hard time in Blacksburg.VT will pour it on.Huskies will score because Caulley is one of the top RB's in the east.But he is going against Jones one of the best in the nation.
Strong play for VT -22 this week.I know UConn is lite yrs ahead of 2 yrs ago but the last time they played in Blacksberg they lost 52-10.But UConn covered +49. Okafor and Gordon might suit up on Sat.But Huskies will still lose and not cover.

Army +18 over So Florida......have gone to the bank on Army.Their offense finally got their act together and outgained Tulane.But 8 turnovers killed them.Tulane subbed with a 25 pt lead and they almost blew it.
Think Army might be able to keep this closer.Just maybe my presence their will be enough to cover the spread.
I've got seats on the 50 yd,in row 6,with all the army brass.Will break down the game in a few days.

North Texas -18 over La-Laf...... Cobb is back.NT offense is still bad but should put away the Rajun Cajun's.Last 2 times Mean Green won 27-0 and 42-17.It;s 1st Sun belt game.NT dominates in the SBC.

Looking At Rutgers-Navy,No Illi-ISU,Pitt-Texas AM, GL

"the bunker"
was mentioned somewhere else

was mentioned somewhere else

that you have a road fave of 10- 10.5 and an o/u of only around 37 ......the public has bet this thing up to 10.5....i think it opened at around 7 or 7.5.....

a thursday night night college game opens at o/u of 37????...aren`t they begging for over action?....somebody thinks this is gonna be a defensive struggle....laying 10.5 with an o/u of 37....

penn st yields around 5.5 ypc and nebraska pushed them around at nebraska but couldn`t cover a 10 point spread due to penalties,miscues and jamaal lord....and make no mistake....at that point,penn st wasn`t very good....

this has to be considered a HUGE game for so miss.....i smell a trap.....takes quite a push to move a game 3- 3.5 points in 3 days.....the public`s on the huskers like apathy on arianna huffington`s chances to be governor of california....

maybe it`s an easy win and the books take a bath....but,it`s usually not that easy......as we`ve seen this year in college football,if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck,it`s not always a duck........g.l.

gardenweasel.....I kinda agree with you.The line has now moved to -11 now.
It's looking like a trap and the Box is going to tread lightly.It's only a small play for me.I just go back to So Miss offense and can't se them scoring vs Neb defense.And I think Neb offense has enough to cover.

NDhorn..I read your post and will respond tonite
NY Reb....always read your posts and follow you.
Pt gd...big move in my school for me to take my Converse's off the shelf and coach the girls varsity.
But I could be in divorce "court" instead of on a basketball "court".

gimme a feel for the o/u in the va tech-uconn game....i see 48.5 at pinnacle and that looks a little light to me....i don`t see va tech not hitting the 30`s here....can uconn slap 14 or 17 on the the hokies....i think over 48 might be worth a look....you seemed to indicate that uconn has the potential to score some here.....

btw...like the n.tx. play stepping back into "dominatable"competition level in conference...the "d' should be a rock again here...

g.l. and great posts...
