    Absolutely elite speed ...NFL like  and precision by this TTECH defense

     

    They will be cherry picked like a Georgia, Michigan, Buckeyes  or Alabama team does at draft time...lordie!!

    Looks like Morton just dropped down to a 2nd-4th round pick with yet another force in throw that just hung....for an easy INT

    Alabama +7 x 2U

    Alabama ML x HALF U

     

    Ole Miss +6 x 1U

     

     

    Gonna be up +2U after Ducks game.....just going with trend of first round bye teams going 0 - 6 over 2 seasons of the Final 8 Matchups and this is got to change in my opinion

     

    Do I believe Alabama is as good or better than Indiana? No but trend is very possible of delivering

    Do I believe Ole Miss can beat Georgia on a neutral field? Its possible but Kirby Smart has that last name for a reason

    Trend is not your friend, as I just wasted money throwing it at the wall and seeing if it sticks.... Indiana with Cignetti are super prepared and disciplined.

     

    I am curious to see how Georgia is prepared an_wink They were the strongest team in the second half of the season in my opinion....along with ND and Texas in consideration

    Predicting the future … regarding 17-22 years olds… who have recently become millionaires…. Is tough sledding…. I cannot do it.  I tied all my picks to Georgia yesterday.   Teased/moneyline/bought down spread to -2.5/.      Goodness.   I was just wrong …  bad choice by me.

    Miami -3.5 x 3U   +100 

    - I don't think this will be a close game based on the fact that SEC teams are just too loose on defense and they have trouble vs teams that have a strong defense and Miami's is a Top 5 defense and maybe the best....they showcased it vs Ohio St

     

    I can see a 31 - 21 type of score here....maybe 28 -17

    Tough to watch Miami with all their secondary getting injured in this game..... ideal for Ole Miss

     

    Chambliss showing he is a Top 5 QB with the bright lights on him

    If Miami does not get any secondary back, they will get shredded likely by 2 great Big 10 

     

    But the game is at HARD ROCK in Miami an_wink ....watching that injury report and line that gets posted....I figure Big 10 team will open -7.5 or -8

    If Miami does not get any secondary back, they will get shredded likely by 2 great Big 10 

     

    But the game is at HARD ROCK in Miami an_wink ....watching that injury report and line that gets posted....I figure Big 10 team will open -7.5 or -8

    Indiana -3.5 x 2U an_wink

     

    - they are the only team to win their Quarter final out of 8 powerful Top 4 teams over 2 years of this College Football Playoff format

    - I love Dan Lanning...don't get me wrong, but how good are the Hoosiers really if you can be laid off for as long as they have, and wipe and good SEC team with an excellent QB who is draft eligible and star defensive secondary and some line players also who will get drafted ....and completely blow them away?

    -to top it off, this Hoosier team went to the infamous ZOO stadium in Oregon and dismantled a team who had travelled themselves across 3 times zones to dismantle a top 4 team in the couple of weeks prior to their matchup with the Hoosiers at their own stadium

     

    WHO DOES THAT?? 

     

    Answer: Teams that are superlative and they keep on proving it week after week..... and yes the Ducks 'have a chance' with their talent and coaching/preparation/motivation BUT to doubt Cignetti will not be able to duplicate Lanning + all of a sudden have his superlative team fall flat is highly unlikely and it is Oregon who must somehow rise above another couple of levels to beat them and if not, they must rise at least one level to COVER this line with Indiana winning and I think that will be very hard in a dome stadium under controlled conditions

     

    I want to smash this game but being up about $1700 on the season and knowing that I want to roll this account profits into MLB soon .....I am pretty sure that it would not be wise to do so and its taken me a decade to appreciate that profits and your stack should be respected at all times if you bet a lot and I do in multi sports and horse racing

    Unreal.....

     

    Announcers just said... Indiana has only 8 four or five star recruits....and Oregon has 55....every other team in playoff have 40-ish per team

     

    JESUS!!! I hope Cignetti never leaves for the big show like the SEC because, that will not suit him and more than likely corrupt his style with the players. I built a monster program for a few years and young players were salivating to be coached by me but what they did not know was, I practiced/trained  as a pro to exhaustion or puking and asked players if they wanted to try to do that to become top players and had a couple teams that bought in but NOT the young hotshots that wanted all the glory ...they did not want to work like that and bawled like babies when they screwed up in games. I had to quit. 

     

    Cignetti is made from the same stock ....and I think John Harbaugh formerly of the Ravens too

    Its going to be an interesting final and Vegas might lay a big line trap and I think Miami is going to be very hungry, but that said, they will have to get healthy by that game or they are toast due to a decimated secondary last game

    Miami is a mash unit.... and even if healthy, I think this line is correct 

     

     

    I think the line should be -10.5 

     

    Indiana -7.5 x 2U

    Indiana -9.5 x 2U  +125

     

    I'll be betting in-game as well....

    Good luck kidd22 an_cheers

     

    Its a peculiar season with few teams really digging in to streak well on a good schedule ....Indiana excepted so for that reason alone, its super hard to doubt this team

     

    You could line up any team from any conference and try to make a case to beat Indiana with a well researched and tangible report to find their flaws but you would be hard pressed to see that play out on a neutral field. Once again last game, they worked as a unit, tightened the band and let their backend of the that tightening band snap execute (QBs and LBs/secondary) and perform to their ability and that was on display against a very well coached and prepared Ducks team (normally).....

     

    Miami's 62nd ranked secondary (now a mash unit of injuries) against the pass/excellent line will not cut it vs a Big 10 QB with great pieces, great O-line that works well and excellent play calling from OC that keeps scary defenses guessing...... and on top of that, Mendoza throws well on the run, can run and almost never is a sitting duck back there

     

    I also think, film is ready for the Hoosier DC to see what worked to hold Bain and co neutered to get to Chambliss or prevent a run game which I believe, the Hoosiers package of triple threat at RB is better than Ole Miss's

    Hemby = 1000 yds

    Black = 990-1000

    Martin = 500 - 600

    Mendoza runs well also

     

    How do you ask Miami's weak and inexperienced secondary TO HELP STOP THE RUN if their starters cannot go.....to play against both the run and cover Becker,Cooper and Seratt is a monster??

     

    I think Mendoza will get great one on one matchups later in the game that will expose Miami big time after setting them up with a great run game and play action causing their D-line to run all over the field in frustration
