If the wind is heavy enough to stop OSU from passing is what I meant to type.

If the wind stops OSU from passing it will change the way I look at both numbers.

This has been such a messed up yr for cfb. I know 3 books who are killin it in College. I play 10-12 games for a buck each wk and usually by this x of yr I have built a nice stake that I can play around with. This yr I am -290 for the season and it has been f**king gut wrenching! I am on Duke as well. The spread does look wrong at first, but when u take a closer look it really doesn't. This is a tough spot for Duke. On the road, cold weather against a team who's defense has performed well all yr save 1 game against the triple. If the wind is blowing it will be tough for Duke to get their passing game going against a decent D playing @ home. When u factor out the 3pt home field advantage in both of their games against Virginia they look about equal. I think Duke is the better team but as we all know that does mean they will win. They SHOULD win this by 7 to 10 but a couple of bad bounces could have them losing by 3. That said I will take Duke before that hook disappears and hope like hell it doesn't turn into a nail biter!

I know all of the trends point towards OSU but I don't bet trends. I'm going with the better team. The South is wide open right now and UTAH believes they can win it. when the team u bet on plays with heart that's all u can ask for as a capper & I know UTAH will. Not that OSU won't but hey, there are only 2 games on the board!

For those who don't know this is a rivalry game. Both squads will be up for it. These schools are separated by 2 river gorges and the away team takes a bus not a plane. They have met over 50 times. On the field Maryland has the more experienced team. Stephon Diggs and Deon Long will both play on Sundays and WVU is down their best DB until next week due to Academics. I don't see WVU having success covering these guys for 4qtrs. When they do CJ Brown will take off to move the chains. Maryland's defense is solid and will play well enough for the win and cover.

UCF D a big reason y they were so good last yr and this is overlooked by rookie cappers. Their D is still VERY legit and should keep them in this game.

I don't know if he is a world beater but I would bet u won't see many boneheaded plays from him. |

Vtech may win this outright in a rock'em sock'em robots type of game. |

No doubt MSU will have a chance to back door cover here, but they absolutely will not win this game. They still have great players on D but they lost loads of experience on that side of the ball.They have never seen speed like this. Anyone who watched Oregon v Stanford last yr knows it's a different outcome if Marcus doesn't play with a bad wheel. Last yrs Stanford D and this MSU D two weeks into the season are not even close to being the same thing. MSU finds themselves in a shootout and has no choice but to rely on their very solid QB. Over the total for me.

This line is way off. Yes, UTSA is a good mid major team but the take aways were the key last week. Do you really think Arizona will be asleep at the wheel? They know they are on National TV and they know UTSA will take advantage if they don't bring their A game. They will come out like gangbusters. Only hope a UTSA bettor has is if Arizonas young QB plays bad. But guess what? It was a heated competition out there for that job so if that happens Rich Rod has other viable options who are hungry to prove themselves. Computer generated power rating too high for UTSA based off of a turnover victory against Houston. Too much speed, too much offensive wizardry from Rich Rod, Cats will not underestimate this team or come out flat. Arizona 44-UTSA 24.

I can't count how many x's Spurriers Gamecocks have had me biting my nails by keeping the back door open against a team they should throttle. Sumlin is a great coach in his own right and he has been there 3yrs now so these kids have been recruited to fit his system. So not only has he got top flight talent, he has top flight talent that fits his system. Despite losing Jake Matthews this will still be one of the best o-lines out there and SC is retooling their D-line. Look for A&M to pound with success opening up their leathal passing system. I am sticking w/ A&M and the points, got them at 11 and if they are down 17 in the second half I will still be comfortable. Have fun watching the back door swing open in the wind for the entire 2nd half if u take SC. |

I was all over Ole Miss when I first saw this match up, won a dime on Boise under 10 wins last yr & Miss D should be in the top 4 or 5 in SEC this yr. However, this feels like a trap play. It is not unrealistic for Boise to cover. Having a new staff can give them a small advantage in the 1st half if they execute because they will be running some stuff Miss has not seen. Not that Boise D is going to be awesome but they will be much improved. I know for sure their kids will execute their assignments on D they always do. Last yr they were in the right spots but they weren't making plays when they got there. Bo is very good but there are 7 new players on O. Will all the moving parts click 1st half if Boise D is playing sound assignment football? Idk. Thursday night made for TV it seems too easy to lay the pts. It is likely to be bet over 10. Ole Miss could be leading 34-10 in the fourth but Boise starters are good enough to put 2 on the board against the 2nd team D in the fourth. I think it's fishy.

SC QB not very special, he's a game manager. I don't see a 10pt cover unless the Aggies turn the ball over a lot. Sumlin teams usually protect the ball pretty well. I like the pts.

Go and check it out for yourself if u don't believe me. If SC does not find a way to win the turnover battle this game will go down to the wire. |

It cracks me up when people get on here and think that their pick is GAURAUNTEED. Experienced cappers KNOW that no pick is gauraunteed. As for this game, IMO Vegas had it right when it opened. It is a 2.5 to 3pt game and they knew the public would jump on the SEC team and bet it to or near 3 so they set it @ 1.5. I like SC to win buy 3-6, but I think I will need the SC defense to come up with a takeaway inside the Neb 20 to get it. If they come up with 2 inside the 20 they will win by 2 touches, 3 turns it into a route because Neb can't pass. I know SC has a sick defense with sick athletes but Navy averaged 5.8yds per rush against them, and was 9-14 on 3rd down, indicating that they were moving the ball consistantly and effectively with a bunch of 3rd & shorts. SC escaped with a 24-21 victory. Even though Nebraska runs a version of zone read and Navy runs the triple, they are still both run read O's that force the D to play stay @ home assignment football. SC will not be able to pin their ears back. Nebraska is good @ what they do, and SC has not proven that they can play disciplined D from start to finish against a run read O, as The Citidal runs the triple and put 20pts up on them as well, piling up 256yds on the ground @ 6.9yds per clip! Yeah that's right, the fucking Citidal. Only Arkansas, Georgia and ECU scored more on them than Navy and Citidal & thier run read O's. Burkhead probably won't fumble but I think they SC will strip or helmet bash the ball away from Martinez @ least twice, and this will be the difference in the game. Nebraska is a little more banged up and I am hoping they don't let the drunk driver play. 27-23 SC in a hard fought battle.

Utahs' coaching staff has stayed pretty much in tact over the yrs compared to a lot of other schools. Whittingham is in his 7th yr and prior to that he logged 10yrs as the Utes DC. The current DC has 5yrs in the program and 3yrs as DC, and there is no doubt Whittingham plays a big part in the defensive gameplanning. This program has always hung it's hat on the defensive side of the ball. Don't forget that this team, and more importantly its defensive staff, has had to prepare for a similar offense having played Air Force every yr before leaving the MTW. I know that this staff will have the D prepared, they have been to bigger dances before and done well. (4-1 in bowls last 5) As for Gtech, they have some distractions with disciplinary suspensions...and more importantly, when I watch GT DB's try to tackle it makes me want to puke, they are horrible tacklers when the play makes it to the 2nd level. Athletically I rate these squads equal, but Utah has the better staff and the better Defense. By the way, todays' slate of games is fucking dispicable for a Sat. New yrs Eve. |

Long time user of covers.com, first post because I'm usually on a mac not PC. I don't have a covers rating so my creds are as follows: I risked 1 dime every single week of the college regular season and am up just over a nickle for the season. I didn't win a truckload of money but I didn't lose either. I don't have a favorite team, I'm in it strictly for the action.
1-1 this bowl season. Won on E.carolina and got hosed by 2 int's in the endzone on Cin -11.
As for this game, I am very suprised the line has not moved more. I guess people are still not giving USF much respect. Keep in mind that in each of their 3 losses they had a chance to win the game on the last play, twice from inside the 20. 2 losses to bowl teams and got bent over by the refs @ Pitt. A major factor in this game is SF's corners...they have lockdown ability and Jenkins is predicted to go as the 1st or 2nd corner in the draft. Lock down corners vs rookie QB's = a bunch of flexibility with USF's defensive play calling. They will be able to send extra men vs both the run and pass. Oregon O-line is great, one of the best in the country...but they can only block 5 guys.
USF will have numbers on D and numbers on the board. E

Long time reader 1st time poster. For what it's worth, I've risked @ least 1 dime each and every week of the college regular season and I am up just over a nickel for the season. Didn't win a lot and am certainly not a world beater but I didn't lose either. I am 1-1 this bowl season. Won on e.carolina and got hosed on two int's in the endzone on cin - 11. The line hasn't moved much in this one and that certainly is suprising. I guess people just still aren't giving SF much respect. Everybody said they weren't for real after dropping 3 straight but what they fail to realize is that in each and every one of those 3 losses SF had a chance to win the game on the last play. Twice from inside the 20. 2 of the losses to bowl teams and against Pitt bent over by the refs. There D is for real... just ask any NFL scout. They have been run on in a couple of their losses but those teams had quarterbacks capable of keeping the safeties honest. That is just not the case here. SF's corners have lock down ability and Jenkins is predicted to be the 1st or 2nd corner to go in the draft. This will allow SF to send more men than can be blocked, stuffing the run and forcing poor plays by young QB's in the passing game. Oregon O-line is great, one of the best in the country... but they can only block 5 guys. SF will have numbers on D and on the scoreboard. G-Luck everybody.
