I'll likely be playing UCLA -2.5. I think Wisconsin is very overrated at this point per my above numbers. Got blown out 41-13 by the only quality team on the schedule although yards only 350-284. I think that UCLA is better overall plus the home field/travel angle. Have never been a Nico fan, so honestly not concerned about the QB injury for UCLA here. Thought Diffenbach threw a pretty good ball in relief vs Oregon. 

Some interesting lines. Not sure what to make of OSU/Indiana as I think both teams have some issues when you compare it to the 2 squads that met in the B1G championship game last year. 

I think Washington can get off the schneid finally, with a complete game tonight ....I think they have been fave in every game so far and they have looked so inconsistent, but have flashes of dominance within a game.

It  starts with their defense and having a better plan for their QB in play mix ....and I think he needs to run more!

GL this week

Hello Hockey, I would like to hear your thoughts on Nebraska at Oregon. I think Ne. can run right at them. Without D Moore, I believe Ne. defense can put enough pressure on whatever Q.B. plays. Alot of question marks here. I am taking the points with Nebr. and leaning under. Or. has athletes, no doubt about it, do they come out hungry and mean, or a lethargic. If you have the time I would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks, and thanks for what you do.

Raiola might be better for Ducks but I guess UCLA disproved that last week 

@Last2thirst

 Yeah, worry about the travel and motive for the Huskies. Purdue trending the right direction but maybe a little overrated now compared to where their numbers were just a few weeks ago. 

@Leroy11

 Hard to argue with you here. Oregon definitely has a talent edge, but they're just not looking the part of a good football team this year. Starts with the OL, projected to be a top 10 unit in the country they have one guy ranked in the top 225 OL this season so far. Getting gashed on defense too. I don't know how motivated Oregon is at this point... preseason title favorites and they stink. Raiola has certainly had this one circled (as have the Huskers im sure), my big concern would be the west coast travel and the fact that Nebraska just never wins a big game... they play tight enough to cover a 7 though for sure. Had Indiana dead to rights and botched it! Maybe this is the time for them to beat a "good" team in terms of talent.... maybe a wounded duck is what they need! I agree with you on the +7 for sure

 Thanks for taking the time to answer Hockey. I appreciate it. I may take Ne. with the plus 7, and another, tease that up with the under. I bet to many teasers, but it makes it look so much better, Ha. Good luck on your plays this week.

@Leroy11

 You too sir! 

Indiana +3 

Think both teams have some concerns, don’t like Hoover at QB for Indiana and ultimately think he will be a big reason why this team comes up short in the playoffs. Like their defense and love the HC here. OSU is pretty much a one man show on offense with 4. Not a big Sayin fan, think smith just makes it easy for him a lot of the time. I think Indiana will do a good enough job on 4 and take away everything else. Health concerns on the OL and RB depth will be important in this type of game. Like Indiana to get the home W, but Hoover is a complete wild card imo. Think that both these teams will be ripe to get popped later on in the schedule as well. 

Most plays will be from 3:30 on for me today

Air Force +1.5 

Missouri / Ole Miss over 58.5

looking at a prop for Mich game 

Savion Hiter (Mich) 44+ yards rushing 

This SHOULD be easy pickings. If Michigan just does the simple think and run between the tackles they should move it at will today. To note, Beck has been unwilling to do this all season so there’s some risk… Michigan just needs to get back to being Michigan and running north/south. If you believe… the ladder could be nice today

Lordy Hoover is so bad. Inexcusable there to end the game, nobody near the receiver that’s about as easy as a throw gets

Night games 

Kentucky +6.5 

UCLA -1.5
