BULLS, COUGARS, GREEN WAVE AND THE TROJANS JUSTIFIABLY HAVE THE BETTER DEFENSES IN THEIR MATCHUPS. I can also argue that the opposition offense isnt even better apart from maybe ULL but no Broadway for them so GREEN WAVE..My point is when im unsure of a pick I would rather put money on the better defense. Just ask Arizona st and Ohio St why they lost their conference championship games. People should understand defense as a general term that comprises of a bunch of factors...rush d pass d total d opp field position forced turnovers 3rd down d.e.t.c cant wait till tmrw!!!!!!!!!

Im with you Gunner. All things being equal, give me the stronger Defense especially in a big game.
So few teams today are able to rely on their defenses with consistency. It seems to me that when most teams run into a defensively oriented team on their schedule they struggle. And I find more often then not it takes another defensively focused team to give another trouble.
U raise the examples of Stanford and Michigan St, totally agree. These teams won big games with defense consistently. But look at the games they lost or really struggled in?
Stanford - USC and Utah (On the road). Two defense oriented teams.
Mich St. - Notre Dame. Defense oriently.
So despite the Fresno D showing life against a pretty weak looking Utah St. attack I am with you on USC.
The other 3, Bulls, Green Wave and Cougars are my favorite 3 plays for the opening week.

Low-Roller...what do you think about the rose bowl game? I honestly am torn between the 2 cant wait to watch this game. Two *ELITE* defenses face each other. STANFORD AND THE TEAM I AM MOST THANKFUL TO THIS YEAR SPARTY!! Probably a no play for me as Im NOT sure who has the edge..I would lean Stanford because they have a better offense..MORE COMPLETE TEAM..and have to admit I rated the PAC 12 better than BIG 10 this year. But Michigan St has won me lots of money this year cant bet against my SPARTANS lmao.... whats your take???

Hard to Pick. I wont play it, but have to pick it for a Pick'em contest.
with the line at 4.5 i want to take the points. Shaw and D'antonio are 2 of the best doing it right now and they know how to call a FXing game. I give nobody a coaching edge. So again lean towards the points.
Stanford playing in their 3rd consecutive Rose Bowl maybe they are not as jacked as MSU who makes their first appearance since '88 i believe. Give the motivation edge slightly to MSU.
Both are special defenses. Common opponent in Notre Dame, but totally difference circumstance.
MSU lost a close one on the road to a healthy ND team. Stanford wins unspectacularly at home against a banged up ND team.
I feel like points are likely to be at a premium and am leaning Spartans +4.5.
Thanks for asking so I had to put my thoughts down. Good luck man

I think they are basically the same team except michigan state O is getting better and better, i dont trust stanford QB especially after USC game. Id say take mich st ML and the plus money its a coinflip (waiting to see if anyone gets suspended before I lock anything in)
Im interested to see how the 2 games we disagree on play out

fresno and ULL, but USC center is out I'd look into that not sure if backup is the same guy stanford bent over last year and fucked all game but could be big
