I realize this isn't my thread, but I can't resist to start this conversation...


Total woulda been set at 84, not 77 if the line makers thought this would be that much of a track meet. TCU and a stout Iowa St de held these RG3less bears to 21
Who really believes they set a total at 77 and let it trickle to 82, knowing it could hit a hundo? The other side of that teaser (OVER 69) would be hard to cash. UCLA runs, runs, and runs this one into the ground.

Ok, with keeping this on a related topic regarding Pool's pick of UCLA:

How many points do you think Baylor is going to score today?

Also:

The Cyclones held 11 of their 12 opponents below their season scoring average, and half of them at least 10 points under what they normally scored....in addition TCU is the 18th rated D in the country.   PLEASE don't compare UCLA's D to either of these teams....the same one that gave up 36 to Wash state and 43 to both Ariz st and Cal.

 Great observation of the total, you are 100% right about why they set it at that #...I didnt think anyone else saw that.. Im already on the under here..GL...

You are right about Iowa St. 
Two UCLA totals were set over 70 this year, Houston (32.5 ppg) was held to 6 and Zona (38 ppg) was held to 10.

Nothing like some morning coffee and getting my day squared away on here. I feel real good about what I like with college football. Already told myself if the consensus here is with my train of thought I am with it and if not I will just stat away from it.

Held off on Duke till this morning but jumping on the +9.5. Really love this one as I know you do as well Poolio. You double dip on the new line and I may just tail you again.

I'm also in on the Under 83 for the UCLA and Baylor game. Leaning UCLA but just haven't pulled the trigger yet.

Also leaning with Bowling Green and the Under. Like what Bowling Green brings on the defensive side of the ball. Loved the weather updates already this morning.

Went to bed last night with more  than I started the day with. I owe you all much thanks.

BOL Today.

 weather in wash dc is very windy. love bowling green getting a touchdown and 1/2. San St coming from the west coast are in for a rude awakening. they're a pass happy team and because of this and the travel going to take the redbirds who are a covering machine and play great defense. they've been under the radar all season. I know San St is a very good team, but with the head coach moving on, going to take the team with all it's staff in check

cinn/duke: leaning towards duke getting the points. not sure what you all feel, but the dogs have been barking!!! take last night, lots of wagers on the hilltoppers, but who are they? took cent mich on a small play and pulled out a victory.

going to take the points with duke and leaning on the over. most folks feel this game will be low scoring, but i have a gut instinct to take the over. most of the wager will be on the points

All i ever asked you to do was to keep it real.. if you're gonna post winners then post the loseers too. and cancel your original bets as a post when alcien takes the other side, which he clearly didnt..Just dont want ALL the newbies here to be decieved even if it was an honest mistake, and dont make these threads such a rehearsed show with a DOORMAN.. post your plays and lets leave all the hollywood stuff with the SAF's and alias' alone.. GL...

I also don't think anyone could have predicted the suns dropping only 15 points in the second quarter.

ucla/baylor: Leaning on baylor with the points. not sure why, but just think that they were playing better ball at the end. UCLA is a very good team and on paper should be the logical choice, but these bowl games and the dogs always seem the way to go. with that being said, taking the +3 and leaning on the under. Just think the tv networks want the shoot out, but most of these bowl games have stayed under the totals. Just saying because if you look over the years at the totals, most of them have been lower scoring to the total posted and most of the dogs cover. good luck all
