Nostradamus... as many points as AZ is laying; WSU is just horrible.... I don't think books can set that line high enough. I am thinking it might get to 40-something...

I meant to add one more thing... this is the time in a season where dogs can be very dangerous; a lot of teams have had dissappointing seasons and if they have any pride at all they will jump up and bite some favs in the (_o_)

week 11 ticket
 
Wisconsin -10
Oregon -13
NC State +5
UCLA +7.5
Ohio St -11
scores and brief comments tomorrow, GL all
 

Nos. trust me , the Badgers and Buckeyes roll these type's of teams. Coach B. is under alot of pressure and the badgers must lay it on heavy. The Buckeyes arew just a better team and should be a letdown after their lucky win.

The Ohio State caught my eye too.  What?!?!  Only -11?  I figure this would be a hell of alot higher.  Okay, so Northwestern beat Minny.  But how did they beat them?  Last second pick 6.  Now they go up against a good OSU squad who still have a sour taste in their mouths from that Penn State game.  All over the Buckeyes.
 
Like the card so far Nos, goodluck this week bro
YES SIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

all - BOL
 
FSUrising - Rice seems like the obvious play, which bothers me and rarely mess much with Owls for actual money, would have to see how Army pass defense looks in that one
 
adam - that's a good idea, i've had arkansas a couple times recently and they're playing much better, need to look into that one closer
 
Ohio St 38 NW 10 - Buckeyes have owned this series last 3 years since upset in Evanston in 2004 winning by an avg 53-8 score. Could be combination of Mich St-NW and Ohio St-Mich St matchup with both favoring OSU. NW allowed 100+ to Iowa Greene and MSU Ringer so look for Wells to run welland maturing Pryor to hit a couple plays. NW banged up at QB, RB and LB.
 
Wisconsin 37 Indiana 17 - Badger running game is starting to get rolling with a healthy Hill and Clay and OL matches up well with Indiana scoring 33, 52 and 42 last 3 in series including 52-17 here in 2006. QB Lewis questionable for next week and even if plays could be knocked out early or limited.
 
remaining scores
 
Oregon 38 Stan 17
NC St 23 Duke 21
UCLA 20 Oreg St 17
Arizona 55 Wash St 10
Illinois 30 WMU 15

I'm with you on Ohio St and UCLA. I would've been on Oregon and Wisky if the numbers were lower. I really misjudged where those lines would open.

Might still jump on Wisky since they dominate Indy...

Definitely watching the Penn St line as it keeps dropping...

Best of luck this week.

Nos...I DID like Ohio State as well.

Here is what troubles me.  OSU has how many games this year without an offensive touch down?  They didn't put up a TD vs. Purdue AT HOME!  Yikes...

Northwestern and Minny are MUCH better this year...or maybe it's a combination of everyone else being down.

The more and more I type the more I love NW at home vs. this team, at least to cover 10 points.  I'm running circles on this one...almost pulled the trigger when i saw that line...WAY to easy to win...not so fast, guys...I'm not convinced.

Interested in the opinion of the class.

Week 11 Big East pick
Pittsburgh -6 1/2
With Bill Stull back at QB and facing a Louisville defense that got eaten up by Syracuse last week, Pittsburgh will easily cover in Pittsburgh.  Did I mention they will be pretty pumped after the ND game.  Wait one more reason this is a steal, the villes top reciever Scott Long is out for the season.

Any degenerate specials this week for MIA/BUFF tonight?  I am leaning towards the under.  Too many random people on this board are on Buffalo for me to lean that way, but I like the game staying pretty low scoring, the number is 51.5 at WSEX.  Just wanted to see if you had any feel. 
 
Thanks for your weekly thread by the way, you have nice insight.

You are so right. People need to shut up and listen rather than boast about their bullsh*t millions they won.

Daddy always said its better to appear stupid than open your mouth and remove all doubt.

I am one of your faithful followers and appreciate your insight.

Best of luck to you this week

bustin - will do, BOL this week buddy

LJ, PSU - might have to check into Penn St or throw in a teaser
 
deer, papelbon, bull, sabre, johnny, insatiable
 
kmang - yeah may have to throw something on that degenerate bowl myself  - was debating between Mia OH under 21.5 (team) or teaser with Buffalo and under
 
sity501 - that's a tough one, Cal has played USC pretty tough the last few years although has not shown much on the road this year and USC capable of blowout if they're fully into it so pretty neutral on that one
 
tonight going small on degenerate bowl special - Mia OH under 21.5 (team)
 
Bulls should be ready to go with first national TV home game and Red Hawks frosh QB expected to start and not producing in the passing game, key will be if Bulls can contain pretty decent MiaOH RBs to keep this one under the team total.
 
time to check out a couple more sides and totals later - GL all

Could Kansas/Nebraska game a trap? Isn't Kansas a better team than Neb? So why is Neb is a favorite after getting annihilated by the Sooners? The only reason I can think of is that Neb is at home.

placinunits, HR - GL this week
 
clam - it does look like one, other than home field and possibly motivated by last year giving up 76 pts, Neb would seem short on the talent side

Nos,
 
What is your take on the Texas Tech - Oklahoma St. and Alabama - LSU games?
 
Tech outgained Texas by over 200 yards, held the ball for 37 minutes, and are only a FG favorite at home (strong lean towards Red Raiders).
 
LSU has gotten waxed by the two good teams it has played this year.  I see Bama dominating both sides of the line of scrimmage.
 
Any leans or cautions?
