Top Ten Sandwitch Games of 2007

Hard work and thks for doing it. There was a tout years ago he died. M Lee who did something just about dead on as you have. If memory serves me right his games ran about 60%. For this process only.
My the way your Wis play I have to agree with being a badger. Wis only loss last year was to Mich. By the way that was another thing M Lee used to up reason for his play. He use to say any reinforcement just makes things better.
Thanks Again and Best of Luck.

djv, thanks. I will not become a tout :mj07:
I bet you like that Wisky play a little bit more now
that Lloyd exposed himself for all the world to see.
Wisky may be on a collision course with USC for
the marbles. GL2U :toast:

 

[djv]

i hope Mich has recover by then. I like it when they over spot them. We don't want to see wisky fav by say 7. I understand mich d looked slow.

bassmaster, I am not qualified to say which way
the line moves, but keep an eye on it the next
several hours if you can and get back to me.
Something tells me it will go down quickly. That's
what I think anyway. We shall see. I want to play
So. Miss. Tennessee just traveled cross country
and played 150%, has the biggest game of the
season the 15th, 13.5 is a GIFT. So. Miss. is no
slouch, look at last year, Tenn in exact same spot
against A. Force, won by a cunthair, and both
Cal and Florida were AT Tenn. My guess that line
will go down like a bomb. We'll see. I'm not in a
position at the moment to unload, but I would
if I could. :SIB

Vols had huge distinct disadvantage in wk 2 LY. AF offense much more difficult to prepare for than Southern Miss. Vols were likely "feeling good" about themselves following big week one victory against a ranked opponent.

I'm not saying Vols will light it up this weekend, but the situational factors aren't as strong as they were in week 2 LY.

Week two brings two plays. One a strong pick, the
other a look at pick. Once again I waited to late
on the So. Miss play. There were some 13's out
there. I did get Boise at a good number.

110/100 BOISE STATE -2.5 AT WASHINGTON

220/200 SO. MISS. +10.5 AT TENNESSEE

Should have bumped this up last week, 4-0 LW
and 4-1-1 overall. No picks for this weekend.

Edit: A lot of people waited and got the hook on
the LSU under week 1 and won that bet.

 

[Woodson]

Great thread Kramer.

Hidden gem.


Will bump it throughout the remainder of the year!

Congrats on a great start!

There are several classic sandwich spots this week:

LSU

Other teams in bad spots based on travel, next opponent, recent success, etc:

Okie
Cincy
SC
Texas

The game that comes up this week is:

Take UCLA vs Notre Dame. There are two things
about this game that concern me. Actually three.

1. No way in hell did I envision a 20.5 spread or
the demise of the ND program.
2. Jimmy Clausen family and the Oaks Christian
community has a 40 minute drive to the Rose
Bowl. They will be in full force, and I think he
plays the game of his life. And make no mistake,
he is one hell of an athlete.
3. UCLA is ON or OFF, depending on ???

I guess what I'm trying to say is this looked good
in August, but the circumstances have changed.
I made this pick because :

1. It is a b2b road game for ND.
2. UCLA should have won LY. (revenge game)
3. BC up next for ND.

Cie, I'm not so sure K. State ML wouldn't be an
option :shrug:

GL2U this week :drinky: :weed:

Great call on Kansas St ML last week. Get 'em this week, bud:weed:

 

[Kramer]

Thanks AR, I am so pumped for the Fall Season
and College and Pro Football, and looking at these
games just gets me more pumped :00hour

I don't know how this happened but my next
pick makes it an even selection between the
conferences, 2 Big 12, 2 Big 10, 2 SEC, 2 Pac 10,
and 2 ACC.

My # 10 pick is taking KENTUCKY vs. LSU on
Oct. 13. I know this looks ugly, but think about
what the spread will be for a moment and I will
try to explain why I think Tucky stays under the
number. Cowherd thought Florida would Struggle
at Tucky. I don't understand why. Florida has a
BYE the week before. :shrug: Anyway,

Oct. 6 LSU vs. FLORIDA*
Oct. 13 LSU AT KENTUCKY***
Oct. 20 LSU vs. AUBURN*

*LY was the 1st time both schools were ranked
in the Top 10 when facing each other. The Tigers
have won 2 of the last 3 but has just 4 wins the
last 19 games. If the Gators get past Tenn. (at
home) and Auburn (at home) and LSU gets past
Va. Tech (at home) and S. Carolina (at home),
they will both be undefeated. Florida beat LSU
LY 23-10 as a 1 pt fav. HUGE GAME REGARDLESS.
***LSU outgained Tucky 546-227 & held QB
Woodson to 14 of 37 for 145 yds in a 49-0 ass
woopin at Baton Rouge. TIGERS HAVE WON 4
STRAIGHT IN THE SERIES **BUTT** THE LAST
2 GMS AT KENTUCKY WERE DECIDED BY A
TOTAL OF 7 PTS.:00hour
*LSU had 5 drives inside the Auburn territory end
in no pts in last years 7-3 loss. Tigers had a 311-
182 yd edge in the game & sacked Auburn QB
Cox 4 times. HUGE GAME :00hour

LSU COACH: LES MILES
2006 Record (11-2)
6 off. starters returning
8 def. starters returning
----------------------

Oct. 4 (Thru. Night) KENTUCKY AT S. CAROLINA*
Oct. 13 KENTUCKY vs. LSU***
Oct. 20 KENTUCKY vs. FLORIDA*

*South Carolina has won 7 in a row in this series
vs Kentucky. 4 of 5 have been decided by a TD
or less.
***LY's 49-0 blowout was Rich Brooks most
lopsided defeat at Kentucky. You really think he
doesn't remember that. And do you think Tucky
will be looking ahead to the Gators while the
Tigers are looking them square in the face. NADA.
Just remember, LOOK AT THE POINT SPREAD.
Also remember, LAST 2 GAMES AT KENTUCKY
WERE DECIDED BY A TOTAL OF 7 POINTS.
*The Wildcats haven't beaten the Gators since
1986 (20 in a row). The average margin of defeat
in their 20 game losing streak to Florida is 23 ppg.

Kentucky Coach: Rich Brooks
2006 Record (8-5)
7 off. returning starters including almost all of their
skill players. They are led by UK's version of the
"triplets" (QB Woodson, RB Little, WR Burton).
The Cats should top LY's 26.7 ppg. (Phil Steele).
8 def. returning starters including the top 5
tacklers.

This pick comes up this week. Take Kentucky vs.
LSU. Record to date on these picks are 4-2-1,
although many people got the hook on the 1st
game (total) and won. I didn't like UCLA last
week and stated the reasons. I am liking Tucky
to cover the # this week. GL2A. :toast:

First things first, great post Kramer.

This game scares me and I'm a big fan of doggies. Why? Because Kentucky was on pace for an unreal dream season, and lost. Even though they probably didn't expect to run the board, it still has to hurt knowing the dream is over. I like LSU this week, and I rarely play favorites.

Just my two cents.

 

[snoozer]

Kramer,
Do you think some of the games need to be readjusted because of the type of season the team is having?

For example, at the beginning of the year, UCLA looked like a trap game for ND. I don't think you (or anyone) expected ND to have lost every game before that. With this being the case, the game turned from a trap game to a must win.

This weekend LSU plays Kentucky. At the beginning of the year, this definitely looked like a look-ahead for LSU. Now that Kentucky is ranked and fighting for an SEC championship, I think the game takes on a different feel.

Just looking at the top 10 now as compared to the beginning of the season, I think there are a bunch of team that may have not had look-aheads because they were expected to be average.

An example may be Cincy against Pitt on 10/20, this game is sandwiched between Louisville and S. Florida. Or perhaps Cincy vs Conn on 11/10, which is between USF and WV.

Thoughts?

snoozer, yes I do think some of them need a 2nd
look, perfect example last week the UCLA game,
I didn't like that pick last week and didn't take it.
But I actually will stick with Tucky this week not
because I am in love with them but because LSU
played their guts out last week to come from
behind and get the win and Auburn on deck. Not
as many points as expected, but I still think it will
be a tuff game for LSU.

 

[Kramer]

Not saying to take this pick, but look at it. It's a
total. Don't have a clue where this # will fall, but
consider this game on Oct. 20. AUBURN AT LSU.

2006 LSU AT AUBURN (3-7)
2005 AUBURN AT LSU (17-20)OT
2004 LSU AT AUBURN (9-10)

Auburn has 5 returning starters on off.
Auburn has 7 returning starters on def.

LSU has 6 returning starters on off.
LSU has 8 returning starters on def.

That alone tells me the defenses are even better
this year, and the offenses are weaker.

Auburn must replace their top RB and WR. OC
Borges says they were less aggressive in '06 due
to injuries to Cox and Irons and the off. will be
more freewheeling this year, but they also have
the least experienced O-line since Tuberville
arrived. The defense does have 7 starters back
and allowed just 13.9 ppg in '06. (Phil Steele)

LSU returns 6 starters on offense and must
replace QB Ja Marcus Russell and their top 2
receivers. The def. has 8 starters back AND
ALLOWED JUST 12.6 ppg WITH 5 STARTERS
BACK LAST SEASON. (Phil Steele)

There is one thing that bothers me. In '04 & '06,
it was the 3rd game of the season for both
teams
in '02 they combined for 38 pts in the 8th gm
in '03 they combined for 38 pts in the 8th gm
in '05 they combined for 37 pts in the 7th gm(OT)
in '07 they play their 8th gm. :shrug:

If the O/U is 39 pts or more :00hour

HIT KENTUCKY TODAY, NEXT WEEK IS AN
EXTENSION TO THIS WEEK. OCT. 20

Take the UNDER on LSU vs. AUBURN :00hour
