all - BOL on the bowl season
, plenty of handicapping yet to be done as not crazy about some of the early matchups, may actually have to pass on a few
double, longhorns - obvious Texas the better team and has been good to us during the season (as has Ohio St in certain spots). I get the sense (possibly wild guess) that the Buckeyes will play hard in attempt to atone for the last couple bowl games while Texas could be less that inspired not playing for NC. Also unlike the SEC matchups Ohio St has shown they can play with Texas last couple years including NC team. Still might sell off or lower some of this wager (not all of it) as line drops as already down to 10 some places, actually wish both were playing different teams and would have them both - BOL bro
gam, acedaddy - nice avatars, BOL
jopes - got FL -3 (-105) this morning on greek and now see -3 (-120), likely heading to 3.5 or more would think
jwheels - yeah thought Bama could hang under that number, knew that facemask on 3rd down was going to be costly, both teams played well
bustin - good to hear we're on the same page on first couple, the others look like some work involved, we'll check back later around here or lounge area, still not seeing the rest of the lines on greek
Florida 45 Oklahoma 28 - with two explosive offenses (no really) this one probably comes down to defense and edge to Gators in that area allowing only Ole Miss over 21 pts this year. Also believe Gators will some big game experience (including Tebow) while most still looking for first championship is good combination. Florida offense has some similarities to WV and OU did not defense that well last year (349 rushing, 525 total yds)
Ohio St 23 Texas 21 - although Texas is the better team, believe emotional advantage goes to Ohio St playing to atone for last couple bowl failures while have to believe Texas will be deflated after being close to NC game. Buckeyes have shown (unlike against the SEC) that they can play with recent Texas teams (losing 25-22 to Texas NC team and defeating them 24-7 in Austin a year later). Pryor may not be a great passer he has done a nice job leading the team and avoiding mistakes (4 INT) and also runs for 4.5 ypc if needed. OSU allowed more than 21 pts this year only to USC (348 yds not bad) and does not give up many big plays. Upset possible....although glad to have the points.
USC 21 Penn St 13 - obviously USC defense speaks for itself so not going to run that into the ground and Penn St somewhat contained by good Ohio St and Iowa defenses. Penn St on the other hand has not allowed more than 24 in any game this year (and only 2 with 20 or more) against a USC offense that is not so explosive any more. PSU good against the run and Sanchez only over 270 yds passing a couple times.
Va Tech 17 Cincinnati 13 - Hokies have shown a lot of heart this year in spite of having no WRs and inexperienced RBs (and many doubters on this site) and have played under this total 8 of 13 games (and ECU and BC required multiple defensive and special teams TDs). Bearcats also have a good defense (not as good at VT) and have shown ability against WV to contain mobile QB (holding White to 41 yds on 20 carries) which is big part of VT offense. Cincy QB Pike/Grutza have done reasonable job of avoiding INT. Key will be limiting VT DBs to
only one pick six, Harris and Virgil are very dangerous and someone who goes to UC might tell QBs to keep the throws low and hard, preferably into the ground
