Florida State has given up a total of 60 points in their last two games, against Miami (FL) and Colorado. While Ponder has shown great improvment, N.C. State has a pretty good blitz package, i think they'll be able to pressure Ponder into some mistakes. Major Trends Head to Head: Seminoles are 0-6-1 ATS in their last 7 meetings.

Veteran Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 3992 Location: Hawaii	#5 Posted: 10/14/2008 2:37:17 AM BYU @ TCU: A pick 'em game?!?!?!?!? The 9th ranked team in the country in a pick 'em game against an unranked team.. smells alot like a trap to me. but other then that, I think this is the best defense TCU has faced all season.. Their defense is great against the run and great at creating turnovers.. I think they should be able to keep this game close enough to have a chance at the end.. which is good enough for me to play..

Veteran Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 3992 Location: Hawaii	#6 Posted: 10/14/2008 2:49:25 AM hawaii +25 @ boise state normally i stay away from hawaii games, as they are my favorite college team, seeing as i am from hawaii.. Hawaii is riding a two game winning streak, while Boise is looking to stay undefeated to keep their hopes of a second BCS bowl bid alive.. Hawaii is a terrible road team, and i'm pretty sure Boise won't turn the ball over 6 times like Fresno did... Boise is an extremely well balanced team, able to both run and pass.. Southern Miss moved the ball well against Boise, but their drives were stopped on fourth down several times inside Boise territory.. Hawaii's defense is starting to hit its stride, becoming what many people thought was gonna be one of the best defenses in the WAC. The offense is starting to get comfortable as well, they've cut their turnovers down and have been moving the ball better..That being said, it would be awesome if they won, but i don't think it'll happen. however, i think they'll be able to cover the 25..

I am leaning your way on NC St. and also leaning on BYU (though the line does look fishy). Keep me updated if you get some inside info bro. Talk to you laterz my braddah! Keep it Real Bro!

Veteran Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 3992 Location: Hawaii	#13 Posted: 10/14/2008 8:51:09 AM those teams have won me some money though.. utah state two weeks ago against byu, smu against tulane couple of weeks back, iowa state and kansas as well.. i'll probably end up keeping one or two, most likely iowa state and UNLV.. i usually place my bets on thursday night or friday, based on how i did on the weekday games.. plus, i like to look at how the public is betting and how the line is moving.. that BYU/TCU line is really fishy though.. public is on BYU, yet the line keeps dropping... i really really think its a trap..

Texas Tech outta whoop A & M, they suck I like Arizona to beat Cal Navy to pull an upset Louisville is scary giving 14.5, stay away imo Hoping Texas moves to -6.5, I will jump on it then well, thats my 2 cents. you might have talked me into Hawaii. good job last week, and gl this week.

Veteran Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 3992 Location: Hawaii	#16 Posted: 10/14/2008 9:19:45 AM Wake Forest @ Maryland +1: Wake Forest is coming of a big win against Clemson on national television. Maryland on the other hand is in an opposite spot; they come into the game with a huge loss to Maryland and are looking to regain their winning ways.. Maryland has a pretty tough defense, as does Wake. This, to me, means a tough close game, which the spread indicates. I think Wake might look ahead a bit to that big showdown at Miami the next week.. I'm also concerned by the lack of ability for Wake to score TDs.. they always seem to bog down inside their opponents territory, not to mention i'm not sure if Swank is playing this week.. Major Head to Head Trend: Demon Deacons are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 meetings.

Veteran Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 3992 Location: Hawaii	#17 Posted: 10/14/2008 9:26:33 AM Miami (Ohio) +9.5 @ Bowling Green Miami (OH) has shown great improvments in their games so far on both sides of the ball.. I think that they'll be able to slow down the Bowling Green offense with some of the best LBs in the MAC.. Offensively, they should be able to get their run game going, creating a balanced attack against BG.. Major Head to Head Trend: Redhawks are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 meetings in Bowling Green. Redhawks are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 meetings.

I've won alot of money betting against them this year, in their game against UConn and against Kentucky to open the season.. although they took some of it back in the K-State game a few weeks back.. I think TAMU will keep that Texas Tech game close.. Last week's overtime game for Tech is either gonna be a big motivator, or drain them for this weeks game.. still doin some research on that one.. I think Cal will come out strong in their game with 'Zona, especially after climbing back into the rankings.. good luck this week

TCU has the number 1 defense in the nation.. defense wins championships.. at least the Mountain West Championship... best of luck to you phancard and fathomable.. I really wonder how that LSU team is gonna bounce back from their 1st loss of the season, especially with a new qb.. heresbigego, welcome to covers, haven't seen u on here b4.. i like the fact hawaii has a winning streak.. that does wonders for their confidence, not to mention gives a bit of motivation to them as well.. clifffie, whats the line on that penn/michigan game? i'm too lazy to look it up..
