So because multiple options are pursuing the likes of both of these excellent competitors. You think they are just going to forget about the game on Monday night. I find it very hard to believe that 2 class acts are going to have any side effect's on this game. IF they don't win this game it will be because the Hokies are the better team not because of the future's of Harbaugh and Luck.

Heard this also... He has surely impressed me.  I'm with ya on this one oddsbuster, I think Stanford should be very strong tomorrow and expect an outstanding end of an already great season.  BOL

Stanford -3 (-120) for 10 units... Andrew Luck who will be the NFL's #1 draft pick next spring is backed by a very solid defense. Theirs only 1 other QB in D-1 that has completed 200+ passes, thrown for 3000+ yards and held a completion percentage of 70% or more (Kellen Moore). Luck is one of the most efficient QB's in all of the NCAA and IMO the gap between him and the next QB is pretty far. Since Virginia Tech lost their first 2 games this season to Boise St and James Madison they have went 11-0su and 10-1ats. However what I noticed was that the combined record of those 11 teams was 66-73su while the Hokies were basically handed wins in their games against East Carolina, Boston College, Central Michigan, Wake Forest, Duke, Georgia Tech ( in which they needed a td late in the 4th to win against a bad GT team this year) & Virginia. Meanwhile Stanford and the Pac-10 have been a much tougher conference as expected this season and Stanford has 3 shutouts this season against UCLA, Oregon St and Washington (Who just clobbered Nebraska in their bowl game). Stanford's only loss this season was to the #1 ranked Oregon Ducks. Stanford was winning that game 31 to 24 at halftime before failing not to score again in the game losing 52-31. The Cardinal are 4-0-1ats in their last 5 games and are playing excellent football. Since the Oregon game Stanford has only allowed 98ypg on the ground and IMO the Hokies should be very challenged today to find running lanes making the big play option's for Tyrod Taylor and his offense difficult tonight. These combinations have me with a decent wager on the Stanford Cardinal tonight...POD
Also it should be notable to mention that in 48 qtrs of football played for the Cardinal this season they have only failed to put point's on the board in 3 of them. The 3rd and 4th qtr's in the 2nd half against Oregon and the 2nd qtr of the Arizona St game. So they have scored in 45 of 48 qtrs for an average of 10.08 points per qtr. Va Tech left 11 qtr's on the board this season with big fat 0's on them. Just saying...

GL bro-

Luck and Harbaugh are already counting their millions, to them this game is meaningless.

I respect your plays but I think this is a handicapping factor, to say they can still win is ok but they have to be THAT MUCH BETTER are they?

I think they are more than 3 pt's better than Tech yes but that's just me. Their are other's that agree and their are others that DO NOT...

Virginia Tech vs Stanford over 28.5 for 5 units... Tried to sneak that one by the books. The Stanford defense wasn't going to let that happen even though the Cardinal offense almost got their on their own...

 14-8 on the bowl games so far netting +138.1 units...

5-1 on my last 6 picks in CFB...

Allstate Sugar Bowl:

Ohio State -3 for 20 units... In Arkansas's 2 losses this season (Alabama & Auburn) they turned the ball over 6 time's ( 5int's and 1 fumble lost) while allowing Auburn and Alabama to burn them for 559 yards on the ground ( 8 TD's) for an average of 6.35ypc ( Not something you want to see from a team in a big bowl game). The Razorbacks have 22 turnovers this season while the #2 ranked defense (6th pass and 3rd rush) of the Buckeye's have 28 takeaways. I also see a big advantage for the Buckeye's on offense as the Razorback's are just 70th against the run allowing over 156ypg in that department while the Buckeye's are 14th in rushing offense running the ball for over 221ypg on the ground. With Terrelle Pryor's double threat of leg's and arm I can see some big passing plays for the Bucks developing down the field just as they did for Cameron Newton and the Tigers as Newton only needed to attempt 14 passes gaining 140 yards and throwing 1 TD mostly because his team was gaining yards at will on the ground. Ryan Mallett is a great QB but I think he has taking them as far as he can already take them and I just can't see the pass heavy team of Arkansas that struggles to stop the run win in a big game like this on the big stage against a team that has been feared by many for years now because of their defense year in and out. Give me the Buckeye's laying the fg here with confidence...POD


Putting the 9-2 record on 20 plays this season on the line tonight...

That led me to believe that well within the realms of probability for the Bucks to do some of the same damage in that department that the Tiger's and Tide accomplished vs that Razorbacks defense...

 Odds

 

The Buckeyes are my team and I will be on them in this spot.  I actually think the distractions may help this team focus.  It will bring back the reality that a lot of people are rooting against them and they will play with a purpose.  Just a hunch

 

 BOL and go Bucks!

Excellent write-up. Any thoughts on the total?

Excellent point. If we all read all the news correctly the suspensions are for next season and leading me to believe they are still suiting up for this very important game tonight. If it's used as anything in reasoning for a Arkansas bettor it's only an excuse not to take the better team IMO. You think Pryor and some of these other kids don't want to try and boost their draft stock. The kids made mistakes off the field. It happens but anyone who is willing to fade them because of their off the field mistakes needs some serious help in sports wagering...

I knew you were on OSU odds! I picked Ark in the Bowl contest, but Im apprehensive now. I normally just post my play and read threads and if you top cappers agree great, but this morning I read first and most are on the Razorbacks. Normally that would be good, but I have to agree the higher % play is Ohio st! I took over and I feel thats solid and may chill on this one and wait on LSU but I like action <lol>! I may have to come to the DAR SIDE <lol>! BOLodds I always respect your plays! I guess logically knowing you were on OSU, I may just have to take them! A conundrum if I sprelled that right? I may just tease Ark to 10 and over 49? Still pondering but I wish you the best of luck my friend!

Can't really see this game staying under the total with what's in front of my face. We know that Arkansas is going to air it out. If any point's come off of turnovers than this total will hit 70 easy IMO. It may even hit it with out any TO's who know's but I really like the side of the more disciplined team tonight. I think most would agree here Tressel know's what he's doing. I may play the over but if I do it will be a 4 or 5 unit wager...

You will get a kick out of this then my friend. It took me all night last night and all morning to talk myself into playing the Buck's and after I did so I liked it so much that I made it a 20 unit play instead of just a 5 unit play or a 10 unit play. If somebody forced a wager upon me last night I probably would have just taking Arkansas +3 as it seems so easy to just take them when your looking at the match-up with a closed mind. I would like to think that after I dropped my kids of at school and came home to study this play up a bit more that my mind opened up...
