nostradamus week 9

College Basketball is right around the corner Nos. 

BOL this week

all - appreciate the inputs, GL

estes - good to hear buddy, BOL

convulsion - possible FSU could have letdown however believe already occurred in BC game and NCS not easy to overlook this year, hopefully Ponder shoulder is 100% appears from recent practice he is sharp, we'll see. Idaho's pass defense may be mediocre overall however stronger passing attacks have done some damage (LT and even CSU), Moniz making fewer mistakes this year with 22-6 TD-INT. Not sure about OSU-KSU line, sounds about right based on previous weeks just doubt KSU can match scores in that one, and have had some problems against similar offense scheme in the past, Lean Iowa to get the win if less than TD with better defense and ready after rare home loss LW

Oklahoma 48 Colorado 13 - Hansen out so Hawkins likely to take over, not much dropoff there, LB Major (doubtful) could be tougher to replace, a few RS and frosh could recall last meeting loss in Boulder in 07. Sooners should be ready off loss and still in B12 and NC contention, not the spot for Colorado to improve road showings so far this year avg 39-3.5

Nebraska 38 Missouri 20 - have sense that Huskers will be more motivated team here even though Mizzou plenty to play for and has given them problems over the years, #2 pass defense (48% pc) should be good matchup against Gabbert, while Tigers rush defense is pretty solid has given up 200+ couple times this year and against 09 nevada with running QB

Nevada 55 Utah St 20.....Aggies have lost last couple in Reno by 35ppg, lack the run defense allowing 200+ in 4 games, Nevada week off after Hawaii loss

Hawaii 52 Idaho 27...revenge spot for LY 35-23 in moscow, Vandals lost by 45ppg in last two trips here, allowed 380+ passing to Colo St and La Tech

Florida St 34 NC St 21....Ponder throwing well in practice, better FSU defense and running game matchup

USC 38 Oregon 35....Ducks lost last two trips here by 29.5ppg, similar roll LY heading into game against Stanford before giving up 51, ASU (and even Tenn for awhile) able to move on this defense

Toledo 38 E Mich 17....Rockets have won last 3 in series by 25ppg, EMU allowing 5.4 ypr allowing balanced attack in this one

So Miss 41 UAB 21....revenge spot for 30-17 hammering last year in birminghame, USM won 70-14 here in 08

Georgia 30 Florida 20...get the feeling UGA will be ready to break two game losing streak in series, better QB, RB and WR on the field, UGA pretty good rush defense and FL (186ypg) not passing well

Houston 45 Memphis 20....Cougars much better passing defense, Memphis lacks running game (91 ypg) to exploit UH weakness

Notre Dame 38 Tulsa 21....not much on the field, however have the feeling Kelly will have team ready if Floyd can go, Tulsa not much on the road lately 1-3 ATS last couple yrs

Okla St 41 Kansas St 27....KSU allowing 5.6 ypr so OSU should have balanced attack, OSU best QB, RB and WR on field by wide margin

Kentucky 27 Miss St 24....UK pretty good road dog lately 5-3 ATS, poor defense is concern however offense should keep them in this one, won last two trips to starkville straight up

Pitt 27 Louisville 23....like UL improvement in coaching, defense, running game (5.6 ypr) and Froman

 Im out of the box,and want to tell the whole world,so anyway that being said,i love oregon,and how can you go 1-9,and besides that,i hope my recent tear on the charts in the handi-capping world

continuues with,nebraska -7,michigan-2,oregon -7,auburn -7,utah-7,temple -27.

I like hat the Okie state defense is giving up only 3.5 yards per rushing attempt.  I will have to go with your take on the Hawaii game.  I just needed a little confidence.  FSU I may play but trying not to be a homer.

all - BOL 

adding 0.25 to So Miss (-9.5) and Toledo (now -10.5)

reducing Fla St to one unit (offset with 0.5 on NCS +4)....still like FSU just not as much, outside shot to land on 3 or 4 for push win

probably will cancel/offset Okla St (off) due to Blackmon DUI

updated week 9

Oklahoma -22.5 (large) (2.5u)

Nebraska -6 (large) (2.5u)

Nevada -24 (large) (2u)

Hawaii -13.5 (large) (2u)

So Miss -9.5 (1.25u)

Houston -13.5

Oklahoma St -6 (0.75)

Notre Dame -8 (0.75)

Kentucky +7 (0.75)

checking out some totals and team totals

 BOL! this week Nos!

Nos,

Do you have a new prediction on the OSU vs. KSU game now with Blackmon possibly out for the game?

all - thanks for the inputs, BOL this week

ksu - yeah greek and BM still off the board....at least we'll know something when they go back up...maybe, GL bud

pags11 - tough call since he's such an impact player, still with that offensive scheme would still expect 250-300 along with running game and maybe take a close one, BOL pags

BA - good point as usual...in article below county calls this the equivalent of a traffic ticket (class 3 mis) and the fact he was released after 4 hrs seems unlikely if significantly impaired, interesting Gundy and univ will have no comment until resolved, does that mean they'll wait for outcome, could be close call since equivalent to ticket and not true DUI, BOL this week BA

if you can believe it in another article Jenni Carlson, source of Gundy's great post game couple years ago, says he should be suspended...STFU lady

2 out of 3 ain't bad 

VB 9-7 ...Cooled off but should get better as season continues.

Bowl season is coming

How can you possible think Nebraska will be more motivated than Mizzou? This is a huge game for both teams and I expect both of them to play like their hair is on fire. You got a great line at -6 and I wish you luck but I am going with the Tigers +7.5.
