Nice calls on Mem, Rice, and the Utes Irish! Great way to start the week. With you on the Hokies, Kan, and the Sooners today and close to adding the Buckeyes and ASU. We differ on Geo, Neb and Nc. Let's split 'em 
Week 6 Card (Oct 2nd -7th)
- Thread starter Irish
- Start date
Thanks T4W... UNC and Neb are smaller plays for me. Just think UNC will fight and Neb is too talented to get 6 in that game. It is a must win for them. GL to you as well!
LSU (-8) over Fla
A little revenge for the tigers. All I have heard about is the Florida speed, but that speed is not effective is the fast guys are not the guys with the ball. A lot is being said about the line of LSU, that line held the VT defense and a fast aggressice de co long enough to be effective on offense. LSU at home is a very good team and at night they are even better. In the last game turnovers killed LSU and I do not think Floridas defense is as good and they will not force that many turnovers. The games for florida over the past few weeks have come down to Tebow taking control and running for big plays. I can think of 2 LB's for LSU that would like to see him try to scramble. LSU has knocked out 5 QBs in 4 games, so Tebow better watch out. The o-line of florida struggled with the speed at DE for auburn and they will struggle with the ends tonight. LSU is a good fast defense and they have a lot of spped on offense. Losing Ducett is a blow but they have talent backing him up and those WR should be play makers with Flynn finding them in space. Flynn also can beat floridas defense running the ball. IMO Cox is a BAD qb and he was able to sit in the pocket and pass on florida, I think Flynn will be able to do the same. I have been hearing a lot about Urban Myers and his ability to coach and he will not lose two big games, yet last week was not the big game. They should have been ready for that game. They may have been focused on this game but LSU was looking ahead and it showed so I do not put any stock in the Myers talk because it is up to the guys on the field. When all is said and done LSU IMO is the better overall team, they are home and they have the night crowd advantage... that should be enough. This should be a hard faught game but as the game progresses LSU will build the lead and have enough at the end.

Ill (-2.5) over Wisky
I like Ill, they had the game won last year in Camp Randal but blew a 2 TD lead. Wisky has had 3 tough game in a row and now they go to Ill where the Illini are an up and coming team with some swagger after beating Penn St. I do think Penn st is over rated but Ill can run hot and cold. I think Wisky might be in a lot of trouble. They have a slower defense in my opinion and Ill will spread the field and zip passes against a soft secondary. This will be a back and forth game but I like Ill and the ability they have to run, QB scramble and the advantage they have in the WR department. Not thinking this will be anything defensive because looking at Ill allowing penn st to score at will and Wisky giving up points to Mich st this could be a barn burner....... Still their is new live in Ill and they will come to play. I like the big play ability of Ill. If they want to stop Wisky... load the box and hit the 3-4 gaps where the running game loves to smash up in. They crash with the LBs and force Wisky to throw the badgers will have serious problem. Either way I'll play with Juice today to make things happen in a young excieted good offense.

The VT o.... well it is a collection of very talented players not being coached in a good scheme. Ore is a good running back but not that talented. He is not gonna take it all on him schoulders and make guys miss for a 3 TD day. Royal and very fast small WR is talented but he is a down the field threat and not gonna pbeat a lot of press coverage. Justin harper is also a good WR but nothing that is a calvin johnson game changers. Hyman and Morgan are taller but again they are nothing if the troutes they are running don't get them open or the QB does not see developement of routes well. Taylor is the best option for playmaker they have on the team. So I would not say they only have one positive, they have talent but they do not use it very well and the play calling is rubbish. The reason I like the tech play is the chalk, the defense and the potential of big play that I am hoping a BIG game will spark from Taylor. He is going to be the offense, if he steps out of the freshman mold and starts to lead, throw down hill and scramble then anything the Offive Co calls will work. But their are too many leaders on VT that are not gamechangers so Taylor will not take lead of the team and that hurts his play and decision making.
GL on your play, Clemson at home with a fast defense and 2 of the better running backs in college is gonna be hard to stop. I am looking at the GT game as my hope in what VT's defense can do. Thanks for the Kudos!

Small Play
TCU (+3) over Wyoming
TCU is a good enough offense to score and Wy doesn't have the defense to stop the frogs. Still this will be a shoot out I just have to think in the end the home field isn't enough to get Wy the win. Based on watching the TCU qb this is a small play.

Running out for a bit
Small plays
UVA (-10) MTS
The wahoos have gooten better over the last two weeks and I think after hammering Pitt the homefield advantage really means too much to UVA.
Georgia - haha, ASU, just gave up about 80 yards and a TD with 40 seconds remaining in the half and Okie is tied in the 3rd.... NEED some help.
Rehit into the bigger play area
Ohio St (-7) over Purdue
LSU (-7) over Fla

Hawaii (-40.5) over Utah St
Okie beat them by more than that but thats because Oklahoma plays defense. Playing in the Hula bowl and the warrior offense give me enough to pull the trigger on this late night play.... well those and the case of guiness I enjoyed during the evenings games.
