Numbers? You think I make picks based on numbers?


Theres a reason Nebraskas numbers are lower than Michigan Sts.....they have already played Wisconsin!

The problem  I have with NW is that they seem to play for only a half or 3/4 of a game......not that this isn't a good play @ +4 of all #'s but.....even if its close going into the half or the 4th it never seems to mean anything with team.... I was riding them for the most part of this year...got burned the last two games with their late collapes....

GL this week....thanks for the efforts....

Michigan St has played Notre Dame and Michigan, both top 10 offenses....Nebraska couldn't stop fresno st, washington, etc.

Seeing that a lot..

Wisky had Neb on a night, home game.. Wisky wins the home night games at a 90% clip..

Not saying you're wrong by taking the Badgers, but to compare the Neb game to the upcoming road night game at Sparty Stadium isn't a fair comparison

Fixed it for you.

If you really think ND and Michigan are "top 10" offenses you havent been watching the games. I dont need box scores to tell me neither of those teams will be top 10 in offense in a couple of weeks, after some real games come their way......

Am I crazy or just the only person at covers who likes both Mich St (a lot), and USC (medium)?

You arent crazy. In fact, on covers, I'm pretty sure its 50/50 right now. Lots of Spartan love because they have as good adefense as BAMA and LSU. Just ask Florida Atlantic who got blanked and Youngstown St who only managed 6 points. Hell, the mighty Buckeyes could only muster up a td. Those are basically SEC type teams.....


USC I'm not sure about. On the road. Tied at qb imo. Kiffin is dominated by Kelly in the coach department. ND could very easily be 6-0 (gave USF the game and Mich had a ridiculous 4th q)......ND might win this game by 20+

Comparing last years game to this is insane. If you really want to....then I'll take the revenge angle. People worried about sharp/square/public are just crazy. I trust my eyes. Sparty is a fraud. But hey, Ive been wrong before.

Like I said, Badgers win 51-20


You've been wrong many of times and you're wrong this time for sure. Listen to the Don Best roundtable as Kenny White tells it like it is. https://tv.donbest.com/ncaaf/college-football-roundtable-4874/

Wisconsin first road game of the year and played patsy teams except for Nebraska. MSU beating Badgers three straight times including last years spanking in MSU with 3 MSU turnovers ! Don Best power rankings has MSU at #13 to Wisc #5.

Biggest Sucker bet of the Year ! When this line reaches 10 or more then the smart money will pound it down to 7.5 by gametime.

By sucker bet do you mean the #15 ranked team in the nation, with a top 5 defense comparable to BAMAs and LSUs (from what I've been told in this thread) getting more than a td for a night home game?

BetUS has different lines for different people.

Couldn't believe it ....a friend signed up last year and we had some 2.5 point line differences with BetUS

I had to get on Wisk at -6.5 when i first had the chance. But hadicapping, many things to look at. State plays much better at home, but are coming off emotional win. But why could they not stay with ND ??

 

M-State is getting a little too much love based on home field, and beating Mich. They barly beat OSU who had not turned the corner as of that game.

THink Wisk, is one of the elite teams this year and as good as past few OSU teams in the big 10. THat puts them even with with OU and Oky st but below top two...

 

Wisk 38 -17

Train, I'm on the other side on that Whisky/MSU  game, my bet is based on the lack of competition that Wisconsin has played.  I mean the defenses they have played are terrible. 

I look at stats, and I agree I am a eyes on guy too, you have to watch the games to really see how good a football really is.  Wisconsin is a top 5-7 team, but this is a bad spot against a conference rival, on the road laying points (over a TD )with a different type of revenge angle here.   Wilson is awesome the guy is smooth, but this is his first real test of they year, you have to agree scheduling cupcakes at home for the first half of the season, has been pretty bad, other than Nebraska.

Good Luck on the rest of your card  I like Arkansas a lot also

LIke the card Train, we are on the same page with Wisky. I think most people don't realize how good Russell Wilson is..

I am thinking Washington is worth a play at +20. I think they are in it to the 4th quater...Might be a big play for me as well,

I agree, but I would hold out for +21 or 21.5 if I were you.
