that every other person isn't doing. I have yet to find a civil thread.

theres no need for all the cursing and hating, on all these threads.

I feel like i'm back in high school..

It's the Internet.  Everything you post is impersonal and so people act like d**ks all the time.  You need a thick skin and wade thru the B.S. People talk sh*t.  All.  The.  Time.

If you think this is like back in high school, peruse sites that high schoolers actually use.  It's much, much worse.

Sorry for the slight digression, Red Soxxx.  Thanks for your picks. I'll check out Iowa State.

Arizona St. is ranked 43rd in total offense and 35th in scoring offense which is bolstered by a passing offense that is eighth best in the nation. The Sun Devils have played the 13th ranked schedule thus far so they are certainly the more tested team. I believe this is USCs first road trip after playing 3 straight at home. Strong lean on Arizona St.


Appreciate the analysis.  My $ on ASU.

Red Soxxx - what is your lean for the Oregon/Cal game on on Saturday?

36 points is a ton of points but Oregon at home seems like they can score on the best of them. Also noticed Cal has a top 10 passing attack in the country and will definitely be airing it out all night.

I am thinking this will be a 60 or 70 points from Oregon to 30-40 points from Cal - thoughts?

BOL this weekend btw!

While playing in Hawaii might feel like a home game, USC has already played a road game. ASU will be the 2nd road game for Kessler.  

The USC offense's weakness is their OL. How is ASU's DL and pass rush in general? If they have any decent pass rush at all, it'll be a long day for the Trojan offense.

Thoughts on betting a big favorite and the under at a low #?  Ill -24 and under 51 for example?  I usually stay away from betting both on the same game in this situation.  Just wondering your thoughts.  Obviously you think miami ohio isn't going to score very much in this game.  I got 25 so realistically Illinois has to win 38-10, 35-7 to cover both.  Just leaves little margin for error.   Love to hear your your thoughts.  GL tonight and this wkd

You are correct but that was the first game of the year and like I said this will the first after 3 straight at home. This is the first true road test as well. Good Luck

I am expecting 5 TDs per half at a minimum from the Ducks and I could see them easily putting up 70 in this game. The question is will Cal score, which I believe they are good for a minimum of 3 TDS. That is why I am on the Over and not playing the side since I believe it will be right around the number. Good Luck

BOL this weekend btw!

That is a good point you raise. I agree with you 100% about playing big faves along with Unders. I am on both because my system does not have Miami scoring more than 9. You are right on with the window. It is a small one but I am playing all the plays within my system and both happen to be. Great observation and being that you brought it up and made me think again on this. I will be wagering 3 units on Illinois and 1 unit on the Under. Thanks and Good Luck

No laying down this week. I am liking A & M but I want to see what happens with the line. Where it is at I am thinking but down a half to 14 now or wait....

Thought this would go up and definitely not down. A&M scores big and they have all their starters back on D with a couple of weeks together on the field to get back on track with each other. Thought they played well last week. What am I missing here with Arkansas?

Red, respect your play....  

When you say you are changing your mind from no play to play on Iowa St bc the line went from  Tulsa -3 to -2.5, are you talking about reverse line movment?  bc there are more bets coming in on Tulsa but the line is moving in the other direction?   this strategy doesn't always work for me.  just my observation from my experience.   is your strategy on watching the is to look for reverse line movments???  thx and good luck          how about GT/VT ?

You're not missing anything. The only thing that has me with the brakes on for the moment is that this opening line is 6 points off. It should have opened at 20. I don't think that will deter me in this one but I am deciding on buying the half down to 14 now which is what I will probably will do
