Either way I think Rice scores at least 24 against the Coogs non-defense.... so Houston has to score 56 just for a push (-28) which gives me the over and no less than a split....
I'll be back before game time. SHARP
I HAVE TO AGREE WITH YOU SHARP..... O/U WENT DOWN TO 27.5...PEOPLE THINK NUMBER TOO HIGH... I THINK OVER AND RICE TO SCORE 21+...BACK DOOR COVER....HOUSTON WITH A LOT OF HYPE ON QB.......OVERS AND THE POINTS.. |

Final Plays:
Rice +27.5
Rice TT Over 21.5
Thanks for the kind words guys..
I think that Rice will cover for several reasons.. One, Houston's defense.. Yes their offense is good, but to cover a 4 TD spread you need some kind of defense.. Two, I think everyone saw the score from their last game.. Houston put 60+ points up on Marshall and people think that they'll do it again.. Playing a 3-3-5 like Rice has is different then playing a 3-4 or 4-3 like most teams play, especially on a short week..
BigD.. BoL with your total bro, hopefully we both end up winners |

I like your reasoning here, but you're missing one thing: homefield advantage. I feel like Houston will not only shut down Rice (rice may score some points early), but they'll score a ton as well. The QB's ratio to TDs vs. INTs is nuts and is almost unheard of right now in the season. Houston covers by at least 24. I'm just hoping the FG turns into a TD instead. For all I know, it could be 54-14 or 54-10. Homefield speaks to me because it's Texas Football. Homefield is always huge in Texas.
BOL everyone:
My takes:
Hou -27.5
Miami -13.5, Under 49
The Longhorns would contradict your statement about Texas' teams and home field advantage. But I get your reasoning. Unfortunately, I think you're falling into a trap. Although, Keenum's numbers are crazy-sick, don't you think the oddsmakers know this too? If we capped this game purely on factors like that, then I'd be all over Houston. But I think the situation calls for reverse reasoning. Just my take. Hope you win, though. I won't complain if I lose this one, only because I'm not forcing this play. Gud luck. |

#63 Posted: 10/27/2011 7:50:53 PM Winds NW 10- 20mph 50% chance of rain at the start of the game... 35% as the night goes on... but on the radar doesn't look like much rain.... and right now no rain 76... we have a cold front moving in....
I'm going to play: Rice +28 and Under 38 1st Half and Rice Team Total Over 21.5 (Oahu - that one makes alot of sense)

I see mother nature tried to screw us but now that isn't going to work! Over half way to the Cover here for all Cougar backers in this game! 
Rice is about as good as East Carolina is except they were not spotted 17 points. . .  |
