i did a little research on that penn state game, found some interesting trends.. i do think that Michigan will keep this game somewhat close, with Penn State getting a 10-14 point lead in the 4th and just running that clock out.. i like MIchigan to cover..

Major Head to Head Trends:
  • Wolverines are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 meetings in Penn State.
  • Wolverines are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 meetings.
  • Underdog is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 meetings.
  • Road team is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings.

i think the spread in that arkansas game should be higher.. the razorbacks got a good win last week against auburn, and i think that helped cut the line down some.. the line keeps dropping, its down to 7.5, which means people are all over arkansas..

if i were to choose, i'd go with kentucky this week.. but thats just my opinion.. good luck with ur play though

Go with LSU, they rebound nicely this week.
Go with Texas to stay #1 in the nation.
Go with the Wash Dogs to trap some Beaver.
You and I are the only two who like A & M.
Good Luck.

Hope you haven't locked Texas in yet as the lines moved against you. I'm now seeing Horns -5.5, which should be a little concerning if you're a Horns backer this weekend. Leaving that one alone myself.
Opposite you on Arizona (about that time of the season to start fading the Fighting Tedford's) & Navy (always look to fade the Stache as a fave). Besides those reasons I like Arizona coming home after the Stanford loss. Not sure they're a great road team and pretty sure they were looking ahead last week. Like Navy if they can get them above a fg.
GL with whatever plays you decide on. Hope you can have another solid weekend

blstuart.. i did notice the line move, but i still think that texas will come out the winner.. McCoy should have an easier time against that defense, and the Texas D should be able to get some pressure on Daniels.. the big thing to me though in that game is how the team responds to their first loss.. good luck this weekend buddy 

liquidswords and kltrd007, best of luck to you two this weekend


dogjimbo, welcome to covers!! great site for info, as well as opinions.. you'll find some great handicappers on here.. sad to be on the other side of yah, but i love TCU in their game w/ BYU.. i'll take a good defense over a good offense any day..

good luck this week though

Oahuboy don't look too much into trends I know they are so cool to look at and all but I learned to just stay away from them realize that the Michigan team is not even the same team as last year and the Penn St. team is rolling right now Michigan just lost to Toledo in the Big House now they head to Penn St. where the place is going to be rockin Michigan may turn the ball over a whole lot in this game I'd stay away from this one I'm staying far away GL

dogjimbo, what helps me to make my picks is thinking what my spread would be.. looking at the TCU game, i would've put the line at about 8-10 points. yet its set at 3? too good to be true? i think so.. i think vegas is setting it that low so people jump all over TCU..

if i got to think about a game all the way up to gametime.. i layoff it..

good luck though dude..
