.......Some questions about WEEK 11......answers wanted.....

Why is Houston only favored by 5 @ UCF? Yeah , Hodges and Harvey are probable, but the Houston offense will not be stopped again....

Why is Temple only favored by 4 @ Akron? The Zips pull a game out of their ass vs Kent St and get some love??....

Why did Penn St go from -22 to -27 ? Why were they favored by 22 to begin with? Indiana has shown some life imo...

Why are people betting on Missouri...on the road? K St been tearing it up at home and MU always stinks when they hit the road...

Why did Cal go from being a 1.5 dog to a 1 point fav?? Best is out and AZ has played some decent ball this year...

Why is Utah getting 20 @ TCU? Seems like 7 too many imo....

Why is Pitt only -7 ?? ...Wait, I know why. Golden Domer love....

Why are people betting on Memphis?

Anybody else think the Duke/GT game will go waaaay over? I dont see the blue devils stopping the run at all, and gt will give up some points through the air...

 

train - I have already stated that the Duke / G.T Would Go Over.....

Guarantee it...

Boom

 

no answers ? 

I agree with you on Utah . Seems like way too many points

KSU/MU - I think it's because statistically, MU matches up very well with KSU.  Horrible pass defense- KSU supposedly can't throw the ball, and MU has a good run defense - KSU supposedly only moves the ball on the ground, so they should be able to shut them down.  I also think KSU is still under the radar and MU is still perceived as a power.  Which is interesting, because they never were in the first place.

I know one thing, my perfect record betting KSU games this season will remain intact.

The spread is what it is on TCU because Utah aint scoring more than 10...meaning TCU needs 30 to cover...TCU in a ROUTE

totally agree with Indiana, way too many points IMO.  Indiana gets 17 points against a very solid Iowa team, yet gets 20+ against the same team Iowa beat???  I dont get it.

In regards to Penn St./ Indiana..

Senior Day at Penn St........could still finish 10-2 and play on Jan.1st.......Indiana 3 straight losses in close, very hard fought games..might be out of gas physically and emotionally

UCF beats Houston outright. UCF will score with Houston, they have some playmakers on that team(harvey, aiken, ross). Defense is decent, although they got shredded by mccoy. Keenum due for a bad game.

The AZ/Cal matchup is the one that intrigues me the most.  I think Cal is overrated, and AZ can score in bunches - one of the fastest teams in CFB - against a CAL team without their best player

Man, I had the same thoughts/questions on most these games!

thanks for the thoughts guys

KSU ....I assume you are taking your team....

Coach...you are probably right

Cal...glad I'm not alone!!

Cal-Zona- i dont know what the oddmakers are doing with this line should be more +4 than -2 for Cal. Im going huge on this game with arizona so well see what happens. 

Utah's offense has been anemic since Asiata went down, but their D is pretty strong.  they haven't allowed more than 17 to anyone but Oregon.  tcu was shut down by both air force and clemson, but those were road games.  they've pretty knocked out inferior opponents at home.  it's a surprising number.

I've watched Indiana play some this season and they don't quit playing.  Penn st is great at overwhelming opponents and no covering numbers like this.  It sure looks like way too many points to me.

the other games you bring up are on my radar as well.  K St looked very good last weekend.  So did Pitt.

I already placed a very large wager on UCF this weekend.  I don't think I could watch enough talk about Case Keenum, who is a great athlete and hopefully a future Sunday player.  BUT, I'm all over UCF here, LARGE.  (remember the "why is oregon only favored by -5" question - well, we know why - I'm going to get my oregon money back on this same play.

I feel temple showed a lot of weakness against Miami, OH who almost came away with the upset.  Personally, I think AKRON is getting a little too much credit for their past game.  I am playing the under in this battle, but think Temple pulls away again.  Question is, how is the Akron pass game?  That is the weakness of Temple.  How is the Akron pass rush?

Penn State was losing to IU last year at half right?  Don't let the IU close calls as of late fool you, I think Penn State handles them well here.  Remember, IU on the road against Virginia lost 47-7 or something stupid.

I think Missouri blows.  But their defense is a lot better then the Kansas D.  So I wonder if people aren't yet believing in Kansas State (like Iowa in weeks past) and keep playing the otherside waiting for them to go down.  Maybe a losing strategy...dunno.

I am seriously mystified by the CAL swing...not touching that game.  Isn't Arizona the dark horse and sitting pretty in the Pac 10 race?  WTF?

I think Utah gets blown out as well; they are certainly not the team we watched upset Bama last year.  If you play TCU, you are betting they are the "big f'in show" and I believe they might just be.

I actually believe Notre Dame stacks up really well against PITT.  I lost on ND last weekend - hate betting the IRISH.  But I think they can cover this.  Traditional run game by Pitt can be stopped better then the Navy offense, IMO.  Pitt lost to one team - NC State, who has a nice passing game - if ND cleans up the mis-queues and stops the turn-overs, I think they can put up a lot of points on this one.  I like the over, personally and lean ND.

Awesome thoughts Placin

Cal -3 now !!??

Anyone else think Stanford can spring the upset against 'SC.  ?   They know how to win at the Coliseum..

Two subpar offensive performances from USC.. and Stanford seems to be firing on all cylinders.
