Only a matter of time before he's back there. He won't be able to help himself.

Joni, respectful tone. I almost never play exotics in individual games. Very hard to hit. If you focus your energy on the side (a FAR better bet) you'll come out a winner more often.

Player exotics are exactly like betting in fantasy leagues. And we don't do that right? Because a VERY a small percentage of people win in fantasy leagues.

Even the squares are cleaning house in the NFL the past 4 weeks with sides as boatloads of favorites cash!! Lots of money to be made on sides for everyone!

The Colorado St game is what convinced me to take Houston. I think the SDS Defense has been highly overrated this season. Colorado State really put it to the SDS Defense, and I believe Houston's Offense is even more explosive. If Houston's Defense shows up, they can definitely shut down the SDS running game. Special teams will be key in the game, and I see a 14 pt. Houston win...34-20

Rocky Long is just 3-7 both SU and ATS in bowl games. In addition, the Aztecs are just 2-9-1 ATS over their last 12 non-conference matchups.

FYI

I got in on Houston yesterday but went small. SDSU is run heavy, stop that and one dimensional. Which Houston team will show up? I took the motivated Houston team who lost their coach......BOL

Dtjam - which makes this line all the more perplexing, the CSU game that is. 63 points!

Touche on the Applewhite chip on the shoulder point. I'll concede that.

It doesn't take away from the fact Houston has a competent HC who knows the system who will put more than usual into a bowl game to get off on the right foot to start his career.

We are more than friends .. we are like brothers ......

... who beat each other up.

As for this game, I'm on Houston -4.5.

This line might be 6 by kickoff

Note: I'm seeing Houston backup QB listed as Hunter McCoy.... No game action at QB in career at Houston. Both Postma and King are out with injuries. Hopefully Ward stays healthy because that is a massive drop off if something happened to him.

Ward was fine in the Memphis game. Watched the game last night for just this reason. No issues.

That injury happened way back during the Tulane game.

Yeah, he's healthy coming in but he always seems to tweak an ankle or ding his shoulder during games when he's running. One of my favorite college QB's of recent times, gonna be sad to see him go

And turn into a brad smith....

Gotta draft him with a late rounder. If he isn't drafted it's a big slap in the face to these "undersized" stars of the college game.

Yeah, one of the NFL offensive guru's can find a role for him.

Or maybe the Browns will fall in love with him and take him as their next savior

The answer to the question????

The pick:

Houston -4.5 over San Diego State

Write-up later. Game has been fully vetted and capped.

Love your write ups and picks man. But I'm on the opposite.

SDSU ML.

Don't wanna be that guy but I have some info that UH had terrible practices and no effort.Late to meetings, etc.

Hey if he started on the Browns they'd have at least one win! I'm sure of that!

Browns should do exactly what the cowboys did. Spend years drafting o lineman and then let the other pieces fall into place (or look deep in the draft for a QB, like Ward! Not joking!).

urban wears womens panties and models them on his moms computer camera in his moms basement..and needs a snickers.... typical millennial attitude... whats funny is i have a sneaking suspicion his dumb @ss is mid 40s.

best of luck Scal love the play!!

same thing was said about Buffalo last week who had the #1 running attack in the league In even more favorable "ground game" weather. Didn't work out.
