"Houston (-4.5) over SMU" –
Houston has found
their pulse in the last two games and winning in convincing fashion.
SMU has been sliding downhill with last week’s loss to Tulane. In
recent years Houston has had SMU’s number, the system in play at Houston
should gash the weak defensive pass coverage from SMU. SMU’s offense
has only managed to put up a
sub-100 ranking 17.2 points per game at 4.6 yards per play which is low
considering they are a pass oriented offense in which SMU puts the ball
in the air 63.33% of the time with a quarterback who has yet to live up
to all the hype surrounding his transfer from Texas. Another thing to
note it has become clear that June Jones is ready to move on away from
SMU and has been looking for a
way out for some time now and would love to be coaching Arizona State
tonight instead in a huge match-up with Oregon.Ford Anyone that has been
to Ford Field knows it isn't much of a home advantage. In fact, it has
been a second home for Houston as they
usually light up the scoreboard when they come to visit. SMU is
anything but an intimidating place to play as the fan base and students
are not enthusiastic about their team’s chances from the kickoff. Not
not mention, you can hear an echo anytime time you speak in the vacant
lackluster stadium. Take Houston (-4.5) or lower.
"Oregon (-8) over Arizona State" – Oregon comes into this game as one of the hottest teams in the country and everyone has started to emulate their style of play, even the New England Patriots have brought Chip Kelly in to learn his high octane offensive schemes. Senior, Kenjon Barner for Oregon is one of the countries leading rushers averaging over 120 yards per game. This feat is even more impressive, as Oregon has two main backs, and his running mate, D Thomas, is blowing up the end zone. Also, Oregon boasts one of the nations best young quarterbacks, Marcus Mariota who holds a rating of 156.42. The line for this game has been driven down by almost 2.5 points as “sharps” around the world think the number is off. With this move there is significant value to be had here as Arizona State lost to a weak Missouri team which has been exposed for the frauds they are. Kelly may be a top rated QB, but in this game he showed he can't handle defensive pressure throwing two interceptions and passing only 178 yards in a less than impressive performance. Oregon easily knocked off a solid Washington team that defeated USC. Last week, Arizona State showed they were vulnerable by struggling against one of the sub-100 teams in the nation in Colorado. I expect Oregon to come out fast and to stay on the gas until the final whistle blows. Stats: Oregon has been putting up almost 50.2 points per game which is good for second best in the nation. The defense of Arizona State is stingy allowing just 15.8 points per game but they have played no one of merit. This game reminds me of the match-up between Texas Tech and Oklahoma where Texas Tech had the best defense in the country but the power from Oklahoma proved too much for them to handle and the same should hold true tonight, as Arizona State’s number 3 ranked defense (gives up 3.7 yards per play) will have more than they can handle when this Formula One style offense blurs through. Also, Oregon just got beat out for the Second Seed in the standings, and will be looking to strike back in the BCS polls, running up the score. Take Oregon (-9) or lower.
