Like a lot of your picks. One that stood out that I at first liked but now don’t like the matchup is cal, cal being at home. Cal can play real d, they have the ability to take away what a team does best, look at how they put wash st air rade into the dumpster. One of ncaaf all time leading passers . Looked lost and wounded the whole night against an opportunistic defense. What’s different from this cal team to Year’s in the past is there head coach Wilcox, in a couple years when we get to know him he will be a top 10 coach and hot commodity for most every head coaching vacancy. His line of work as a top 5 d coordinatior in college for previous years is impressive.. I just see it as a complete coaching mismatch. Top up and coming coach with young team that should be starting to hit stride vs a coach getting ready to get fired in rich rod.. on the road, a team that is reluctant to play defense and is so one dimensional. I mean I had cal straight up to beat wazzu and don’t see a reason why they don’t take out zona at home as well. What tate has done to right the ship in a couple games at zona is great... he’s a glorified running back. His passing skills.. well he has none. Much easier to gameplan against a 1 dimensional offense, rather than a balanced attack

@superm -

Falk was lost because he didn't practice for 2/3 days and was injured.... Yes, Cal has nice young coach but this is same team that gave up about 35 pts/avg to Oregon? USC and Wash....

leaning like AZ 42 Cal 31

Upside- 

Exactly- people forget just how important situational betting in college football is- LSU coming off an emotional win against Auburn then going on the road to play Ole Miss- and Bama on deck- yes I know they have a week off before Bama- but I know those kids are already chomping at the bit to try and upset Bama- so much so that they may not be concentrating properly this week- especially with Coach O- love him as a person but his teams have always seem ill prepared/motivated at times- Good luck this week!

supermanbets-

While I understand what you are saying, Tate does have a 74.3% completion percentage- his running skills make his "lack" of passing skills that much better because he can take advantage of some wide open receivers- I love the Cal coach but their defense got gashed for over 350 yds rushing by Oregon who only had 86 yds passing- I see a similar scenario here- I think this is a high scoring game but see Arizona coming out on top 38-31 or somewhere in that neighborhood!

Good luck with you plays!!

Blowoutgm, on the Arky post.. Arky sucks yes, but they do have a decent DL and gave Bama fits in first half.. I'm just not sold on this AU team being focused on this game. There's a lot of fighting going on there and it wouldn't shock me to see AU have multiple TO's to keep this game under the 15.5 .... JMO, good luck this week bro! Keep killing it.!

RangerUSA-

I have no idea why that line has nose dived- it gives me enough concern not to follow through on my lean on the Tulsa squad- the over may be a better play in this spot but I hate betting really high totals- 

Good luck this week!

Chad77- 

I can't really disagree with anything you say right there- I am not playing that game as I just can't get a good read on it or find a big enough of an advantage on either side to lay a bet on it- personally I think Auburn has the talent to cover but mentally how are they going to respond to last week? Also like I mentioned to someone else in this thread, I think Arky is just a bit better than their record indicates- could this be a game where they surprise most everyone? It certainly could be. Good luck this week!

bpcuno-

I honestly forgot I bet that game- I only hit 2 games early and that was one of them it looks like after checking my account- Looks like I got a very bad line and I am not sure why that line has nose dived- This is one reason I hate being at work trying to cap- I worked 33 days offshore, then after 3 days home I was called in to Houston and now I am in South Louisiana working for a few more days getting ready to load out equipment to go offshore- between sleeping only 4 hours or so each night and working my butt off I am mentally out of it- that being said Tulsa should be able to score against the Huskies defense but apparently someone thinks UConn will score just as much or more! That's why they play the game- Good luck this week and good catch!

Adding:

UCF -7    I hate betting against Navy but I think it will be hard for them to keep up with the UCF offense and I see them wearing down in the 2nd half

N Texas team total under 31.5  -  FAU giving up 25 pts/game; N Texas long trip; the only field in the Sun Belt conference that uses grass instead of artificial turf

Ok St./ Texas over 64.5 - Cowboys won't stop the run and Texas can't stop the pass(110th in FBS)

One unit plays

Good luck everyone!!

Blowout, if you have time what do you think about Temple with the points ? Army won by 14 last year at Temple and they have AF on deck.  

Thanks,

Trumpinator- 

I lean Army as Temple gives up chunks in the running game- however they do have Air Force on deck- no play for me - good luck this week!

Wow! Glad to see you on Under on NT. What you think about the over on the Navy game?? Ironic the number is 64.5 and Air Force over was 65 and they scored 87. I see something very similar in this game

Pyro-

I would lean over in that game as well- I usually don't bet sides and o/u on the same game- Good luck with your plays!

Adding:

Texas Tech -7

Tech leads the Big 12 in turnover margin- Iowa St. is sneaky good but I think their little run comes crashing down today trying to defend the Texas Tech passing attack at home- I see a 37-24 type game

one unit play!

Good luck eveyrone!!
