The Final 8

Hey General, just seeing this..... really appreciate it my friend. I miss chatting and we tend to think a like. The reason why I don't like Texas is this Buckeye defense is no joke....and their offense is too 'bottled up' and maybe if you like the Texas defense and I like the Buckeyes and Texas defense....

THIS SCREAMS UNDER 53 bigtime!

DEFENSE RESUME:

Buckeyes #1 Total Yds lowest against  (only 244.6 yds per game)

Buckeyes #1 Total Pass Yds against (only 152 yds per game)

Buckeyes #5 Total Rush Yds against ( only allow 92.2 per game)

Buckeyes #1 Total avg pts scored against (only allow 12.1 per game)

STRENGTH OF SCHEDULE:   #2 behind Georgia!

Give me UNDER 53 for $1000 'Alex'! And I will probably bet Buckeyes -6 ....still evaluating.

I dont like to overreact to recent results. Before playoffs started, I had Texas and Ohio state pretty even. my system has a margin for error so it could have gone either way by a point. Now we are talking 5-6 points difference? granted…. ohio st has looked impressive, but im not gonna pay that kind of premium to play ohio state. I like the under and if i have to play a side, its texas +points or nuthin for me. 

GL to you bro  Sorry for disappearing again this season. Just havent had any time to post. I like to take my time and try to give reasons for my picks and if i cant take my time to do that, id rather not post. I dont like just throwing up picks. ive always enjoyed the conversation about the games.

Riding the Nittany Lions based on their training technique that is being deployed and watching them 'play different' the last game...as a result.

I think the Irish do not match up as well.....only playing Penn St parlays and UNDER 45.5 split tickets with all kinds of things. It might surprise some people but I love money more than I love the IRISH!!

predicted score > 20 - 14  or 20-17 with Penn St leading into last minutes  ..... Irish try a final drive to win it and come up unsuccessful from their 20-30 yd line....their kicker has been solid from 42 yds in but not further 

Remember....the score late in the season for the Penn St - Buckeyes game to determine who would stay top BIG10 team was: 20 - 13 Ohio St. even with two great RBs and a freshman who may become the greatest WR of all time because of his size, speed, work ethic and comes through....he is unstoppable

BOL  on your play @Last2thirst 

I agree. I took Penn St. Also hit under 9.5 1st Quarter and under 22.5 for 1st half. 

I think these defenses will set the tone. both teams identities are running the ball and playing defense. And both defenses are very good in the redzone. 

GOOD LUCK BRO 

Thanks General 

Westie  ....hard to go against your Irish pick but I am taking another perspective on this one because I am staring at a carbon copy of ND in PSU and just think if both teams were meeting at the start of the season, I would lean Irish but not after losing 3 dee lineman who might make the NFL and Love being banged up

PSU can win without Abdul who may be better than Micah Parsons and that is saying something! But I hear Abdul is tough and will find a way to play because he had a good week apparently

Excellent collective capping.....I did a huge parlay ..... UNDER PENN ST with UNDER Buckeyes FOR $300 ..... I never do one that big but of course I will when I think we have figured out, that college ball in the late part of the season with 2 similar teams fighting tooth and nail will be UNDERS 

Even Buckeyes and Texas have TOUGH defenses.....its not SEC mamby pamby ...let the other team chuck it down the field and catch a 50 yd pass. Its more NFL like with Steelers vs Ravens type of football

If  you are a TEXAS fan....I hope you are watching Penn St - Irish..... 

BUCKEYES DEFENSE is even better! 

Grinding game and you can see how fast Penn St defense is....as the Irish are ...fast and swarming

Buckeyes won 20-13 ...... IN Pennsylvannia

GIVE ME THE RIGHT LINE.....and I will take PENN ST in the Final if this game continues with what we are all seeing.....overpowering offense and Defense

Deeply impressed with how fresh and powerful the Lions look 

Not suprised at all 

GREAT first half. I love it when a game goes exactly how you think 

....ya....blazing your own thesis is fun....but doing it with someone else and reasoning it out to make the RIGHT decision is even more fun. Taking Penn St was gonna be my play but the UNDER was right there for us. Good thinking bro.....I just looked at my parlay tickets...oh wow I have a lot of great combos with Raptors on some...some good NCAAB wins and Leafs OVER on a lot of tickets.

 I tend to do $10-20 three way or 4 way combos and the payouts are $200-500 each with that amount

Westie knows what Proline is haha....

Massive cahones by the IRISH....they don't ever quit!!!

Nice HITS bro... MASTERCLASS from the General 

Man its easy to love this IRISH team....wow!! Guts 

One of the most exciting games I have seen for guts and excitement/effort by the players

Both teams are fairly even matched....seemed like PSU was bullying Irish first half but not now!!

Oh shit.... Parlay just went 

Super impressed with the Irish. Leonard played with guts. Allar shrunk in the moment and was just generally missing guys all night. I feel like Penn St defense played well enough to win that game. Guys stepped up for the irish tho. It was best game ive watched all season. Ill be rooting for the irish to win it all but i think we both agree they may be a little out of their depth in the championship. Still, I think they’ve shown they have the moxie to play woth anybody.

Im in on Texas in this next one. I ate that +6 when it showed up on the board. Couldnt help myself. Ohio State may win this game but i feel like Texas will be extra motivated by the disrespect thay have gotten this week. People are just writing Texas out of it like nobody can beat Buckeyes…. I think Texas defensive line and secondary might be the best Ohio State has seen all year. Same can be said of Texas vs Ohio St defense but I think Texas Oline is good enough to hold up…. we shall see.  Good luck my brutha 

Texas Oline MAY HOLD UP but then Ewers has to get the ball delivered vs the #1 secondary in college. That is one issue.

Second issue, Buckeyes can beat you with so many weapons and the Horns defense does not match up well with a strong running team with a big QB who has so many weapons to throw to or run the ball himself. The Buckeyes have packages on offense to handle any gameplan the opposing team throws at them. Chip Kelly has made sure of this since I have watched them 5 times now and have seen a different unique package each time they faced a strong defense. Chip screwed up vs Michigan but the Buckeyes knew that based on what others had done, that game was not going to hurt their Playoff aspirations.....if anything, it gave them the shot they wanted which was to face the Ducks one more time in a revenge game.

I just want this to go UNDER  53.5 which is what I got but we can both have it?

How about a 21 - 16 game for the Buckeyes??

So you said it there…. The Oregon game. I think Ohio State was itching to get their revenge against the ducks. Huge emotional win and toll…. I dont expect them to be able to replicate that effort back to back weeks. They have been riding high with everyone in the media crowning them already. I expect Texas to get THEIR emotional lift now. Im pretty sure they have all the bulletin board material they need for this one.People want to knock them for the ASU game but nobody is giving ASU enough credit. Nobody was hotter in college football the last 6 weeks than ASU. That includes these buckeyes. The Michigan loss wasnt that long ago and people talk about it like it was months ago. Texas is better than Michigan on both sides of the ball and specifically IN THE TRENCHES. 

Im not always right. Anything can happen. But if they want to give me 6 points with Texas, Ill take it.

GL on your play total @Last2thirst 

Hey General.....Texas is nowhere near as good as Oregon ....not even close.

If they were, they would have beaten Georgia at least once...Georgia would get destroyed by the Ducks or Ohio St.

As it was, Notre Dame schooled them easily by 13 and Carson Beck would not have mattered one bit because he is a turnover machine and you cannot throw the bomb on the Irish which he relies on

Hey General....what do I know....haha....I had UNDER 45.5 and Penn St the last game
