Judging by the size of the coach, the team is probably always hungry...

why no tosu in the line up..?.. Who knows.... I might have taken the 65 point spread...

[Deleted]

3-0 right out of the gate. LSU looking good for me, Nebraska not so much...


NEBRASKA beats the spread!

Bit of a shakeup after the results of Week 2, but we have a full tilt of intriguing games this week.

actually this may be much closer to the kind of halftime pep talks i used to get playing hoops back at canton south back in the day... ha.



Thursday Night Game

Clemson -6 at Louisville: tigers have rolled up 2 wins over fcs foes, the cards have lost 2 straight to fbs opponents and now play w/revenge after losing 23-17 at clemson last year. that's a desperate situation for l'ville, which is attractive to me as a home dog. road chalk who are off 2 games where they scored 40+/allowed 10 or less are just 12-27-2 ats. cu is 0-5 ats away facing a team w/revenge, just 3-8 ats in weeknight road games, and petrino in his career is 8-1 ats off back/back losses. that's enough nerd stats for a week. louisville

Saturday Games

Illinois +10 at North Carolina: interesting matchup. 3rd straight year the illini have opened the season w/nice wins vs nobodies. the past 2 years, the first somebody-washington-has brought them back down to earth. but the team has seemed to relax since beckman got canned and cubit moved in. unc would be 2-0 if not for 3 redzone picks vs the gamecocks. heels are the more talented team, and u of i hasn't won a ooc road game in 8 yrs, and is 4-11 ats getting pts away from home. but this line jumped from -6.5 to -10. i think that's about 3 pts too many. illinois

Northwestern +3 1/2 at Duke: beating top 20 stanford wasn't enough to get the 'cats ranked. beating eastern illinois apparently was. lol. another interesting acc-big 10/state of illinois vs state of north carolina matchup. nu's d has been impressive, while duke's entire team has looked good in 2 blowout wins. what cutliffe has done in durham cannot possibly get enough praise imho. blue devils are 11-3 ats the last 4 years as home favorites; n'western a solid 10-7 ats getting points on the road. but duke has ga tech up next, and i'm wondering if they might be peeking ahead a little. plus the last 10 times these two have played, the road team has won 9 of them straight up. and the last 11 times a power 5/non-acc team has played at duke, that ooc team has won 10. northwestern

Auburn +7 1/2 at LSU: au has looked shaky out of the gate. lsu really missed having its opener cancelled, struggling some before finally beating a good miss st team. that 41-7 war eagle beatdown on the plains last year looms large to me. auburn hasn't won in baton rouge since '99, and the home team has dominated (13-2 su, 10-4-1 ats) this series. but... miles is just 1-11-1 ats in sec home openers, 1-8 as favorites of -7+. au is 5-2 ats as road dogs the last couple years, and have actually covered 4 of the last 5 vs lsu. plus its a day game. will probably miss this one, but i'll take a flyer on malzhan. auburn

Ole Miss +6 at Alabama: another revenge matchup here, tho last year's game went down to the wire before the rebs pulled out a 23-17 win. tide looked awesome vs wisconsin, so-so vs mtsu. ol' miss has played 2 nobodies, but they've scored 70+ pts on them. that's tough to do in 7x7 drills. 23 straight sec opening wins for alabama, and the last 2 times they've lost to mississippi, they've had convincing wins the following year. i'm impressed w/chad kelly early, and having treadwell back on the field is huge. but i keep seeing henry getting chunks of yards between the tackles, and drake w/the ball out in space. rebs have covered 7 of the last 10 in the series, 5 of the last 6 in tuscaloosa. but all of those lines sans last year were double digits. not less than a td. close into the 4th, but saban's crew seals it late. alabama

Georgia Tech -2 1/2 at Notre Dame: how much does the zaire hurt nd? you don't see the irish getting pts at home very often. when they do, especially off a win? 13-4-1 ats. shizer looked good in relief pulling out the win at uva, but kelly's teams have struggled defending the option (see nd-navy). under johnson tech is 4-1 ats as road chalk. huge game for both programs to launch themselves into the cfb playoff picture. i'd much rather see more of shizer before backing him, but getting points in south bend is too much to turn away. notre dame

California -7 at Texas: how bad is it in austin? they are dog, at home, vs a team that is 11-27 su the last 3+ years. wow. one thing the horns do have is a decent d-line, and i'm wondering if they'll step up here. cal's defense has lots of leaks, they are 6-24-1 ats as chalk of less than 8 pts, and this line went from -3 to -7. i'll believe it when i see it. texas

Stanford +10 at USC: after blow out wins over arky st and idaho, stiffer competition invades the coliseum. last 5 games in the series have all been decided by 8 points/less. plus the favorite in this series is 0-7-1 ats. plus shaw is 7-1 ats as a dog since arriving at stanford. plus there's revenge. usc figures to be the class of the pac-12 this year, but this win won't come easy imho. stanford

BYU +16 1/2 at UCLA: back to back wins in the final seconds for the mormons. byu is 11-5 ats as road dogs. more has his best ever team looking good in westwood, but the bruins are 0-4 ats the last 4 times they've been a double digit home favorite. byu

Pitt +5 1/2 at Iowa: ferentz' team finally found a way to beat iowa st last week. 1st night game in 4 years i think at kinnick. both teams had late flurries to win/cover last week. the panther defense has looked good, but their star rb connor being done for the season. still, pitt coach narduzzi had success vs the hawkeyes while he was the d-coord w/sparty. iowa won 24-20 at pitt last season, panthers return the favor and stay under the number. pitt

Texas Tech +9 1/2 at Arkansas: old swc matchup. bielema will have the egg/crap wiped off his face by saturday. despite toledo stuffing the hog run game, arkansas did have 515 yds in total offense and really should have won the game. arkansas

Nebraska +3 1/2 at Miami: lots of historic unl-miami games in the past. this isn't one them. huskers won/covered 41-31 last year in lincoln. i remain a kaaya fan as the canes' qb. golden's done real well (11-0-1 ats) as ooc home favorites, tough to read how riley's team will play on the road, but i think this line is too low. miami

[/quote]

2 great late games. Rebels hold off Alabama, and ucla scores w 3:00 then picks off a pass on their own 17 yd line w 0:58 left to win 24-23. Cfb is something else.

those 2 results put me at 7-5 for the week.
