I'm telling you right now, motivation will be with NIU. they will take the 40 days, make them all meaningful, be planning, scheming, finding every weakness they can to exploit. how motivated will FSU be ?
I'm not quite sure
JD.
I guess I meant more in terms of NON AQ vs. Qualifer (not particularly the match up). That said, I agree with your Hawaii take, but the same can be said about NILL imo. For the most part, they are a one-dimensional team. They rely heavily on the run; ie. Jordan Lynch. NILL ranked second in the MAC in rushing attempts, only behind OU, and last in pass attempts.
This is why I think they could end up playing a style of football they haven't had too all year. Although I didn't watch every game NILL played, I'm sure this team was in a TON of 3rd & mediums and 3rd & short(s). Their 3rd down percentage ranked 1st in the MAC. This tells me one thing; Jordan Lynch did a lot of work on Third Downs. In comparison, it reminds me of watching Michigan. When Michigan had the advantage up front, and maintained a short distance on 3rd down, they easily convereted and kept drives alive b/c Denard could pick up a first down almost at will. On the flip side, when playing teams like Michigan State, when they had a ton of 3rd & 7s, or 3rd & 10s, the game became much different.
I don't see Lynch running on this defense "consistently" enough to give NILL a run/pass option all game on 3rd down. And as mentioned in my prior post, I think they end up being in more 3rd & Longs than they have all year, which will put them in situations they are not used too. If that happens, then two touchdowns is not a lot.
Now. We are talking FSU. They may not show up at all, and Lynch could run wild. -
Good Luck on the bet! It will be enteraining for sure. As for me, I really like SCarolina (I was undefeated betting Michigan - for and against - all year). Michigan simply doesn't have the horses up front on either side of the ball, plus, skill positions heavily favors SC. The TE for Carolina will be a nightmare match up for Michigan - and he could have big game.
I also like 3 Overs; Northwestern v Miss St, Ole Miss/Pitt and UCLA/Baylor.
Any insight on those? |

- NW has never played in the Gator bowl. New surroundings
- SEC > Big10
- Jacksonville has many more SEC fans than Big10 fans
So this is how you handicap a game? You serious Clark?

those are just some reasons why. nothing should be discounted. trends are part of the handicapping. motivation, coaching, strength of schedule, matchups.....
