first time qb's on the road are the best--as evidenced already this season
I am not fading ILL. I am riding teams that I believe have great QB play with high octane offenses. The Huskies have that, just ask Boise St.

Those numbers are certainly solid, but it was his efficiency as a passer and playmaker that stood out most to me. Price worked the ball to all areas of the field, but avoided forcing throws into tight windows. Additionally, he displayed the trademark athleticism that put him on the radar as a spectacular sophomore. If Price can continue to build upon the momentum created by his impressive debut, he could become a relevant player in the 2014 quarterback class discussion.

love them all bro!
That Lou v Kentucky game is a rivalry game. Do you think Lou (Bridgewater et al) have enough horses to dismantle the wildcats. The game is at UK. That is my only concern.

QB's have an evolution process. When I evaluate a QB, I look for if he spread the ball around. Did he hit the intermediate passes? Did he audible out of poor percentage plays? Price did all the things a QB has to do in order to win against Boise. That isn't going to evaporate because they are on the road.
It's very possible you are right and nothing is a sure thing but I still believe Illinois sucks. My mistake was over rating Cincy and I ignored my better sense about how worthless their QB was. I'm gonna take my shot with Price.

Teddy got in hot water with his HC when he waved off the punt team Saturday. I think all the hype got into his head and his HC read him the riot act. I think he will have his best game this week and make amends with his coach.

YTD 27-21 +$1848.89
Rice -5 vs Kansas $220 to win $200
Ok, I'm giddy over this one and I'll explain why. I spend an excruciating amount of time trying to find a strength vs weakness edge. I look at so many stats that I see them in my sleep. Well my friends, this one is OUTSTANDING. South Dakota ran the ball for 219 net yds with a 5.1 avg per rush. What is more interesting is SD has no pass game so even with Kansas stacking the box, SD was able to run it down there throats. SD held the ball for over 32 minutes. On offense the Jayhawk QB struggled 10-20 110 yds for an avg of 5.5 ypp.
We all saw how good this Rice running game is in week 1. They outgained A&M 509 to 486. Rice had 306 net yds running the ball. They ran 88 offensive plays. The avg was 6 yds a pop. They held the ball for over 38 minutes.
What the above tells us is that Rice will control the clock limiting the Kansas offense. Rice will DOMINATE running the ball against a run challenged Kansas D. The Rice weakness is their pass D but guess what? The pass offense of Kansas is also a weakness so they cancel out.
The ONLY thing that prevents me from making this a much larger play is I am off to a great start and I promised myself to stay disciplined this week (well disciplined for me is out of control for others)

NIU -27.5 @ Idaho $275 to win $250
This game is an even better strength vs weakness than Rice/Kansas. I watched the entire Wyoming game since it was my GOY and much to my dismay, Wyoming did not even bring their A game. Smith had a sub par performance (for him) and they still covered huge chalk.
In 2 games against North Texas and Wyoming one thing is evident without question. RBs are going through the Vandal defense much like Sherman went through Georgia- unimpeded. I believe NT had over 350 on the ground and Wyoming had 262 net yds rushing with a gaudy 6.7 yds a pop. Even a blind person would see Idaho cannot stop the run and guess what?
NIU runs the ball better than both NT and Wyoming. I will go out on a limb here and predict a 400 yd total rushing day for the Huskies. The Idaho offense is challenged enough and sitting on the bench for long periods of time does not help. Chalich is a bust at QB and based on what I saw, he might get benched as the back up at least made some yds with his legs.
Another observation from watching is the amount of yelling and screaming at the Idaho players from their HC. I can now see why the players preferred their last HC. Yelling and screaming at your players is not going to work on any level in this day and age.
NIU will dominate with Lynch running amok and amassing well over 90 plays. The "fade Idaho" train rolls on!

Oregon -27 vs Tennessee $275 to win $250
QUACK QUACK QUACK!
Stop me if you've read this to many times but once again, strength vs weakness will dominate this game. Yeah, it's a broken record, a cliché and repetitive, but if you cannot stop the run, you will get your behind whipped.
On the surface, a dominating win for the Vols against WKU. However, much like a beautiful woman with an evil heart. what's on the surface can be deceiving. WKU turned the ball over on a mind boggling 5 out of the first 6 snaps! They had 7 TOs total. WKU outgained and take away the TOs, outplayed Tenn in several aspects including outgaining them in total yds. This however is the key stat. WKU gained 171 yds on the ground with a 5 ypc avg. They were 8-15 on 3rd down.
The ONLY way to hang with the Ducks is getting some big pass plays from your QB. 11-19 142 yds and a pick ain't gonna feed the bulldog. Worley is decent but I predict he throws a couple more picks in what will be an extreme HOSTILE environment. Going 4-10 on 3rd down is a recipe for disaster against the best offense in the country (my apologies to Baylor).
Ok so we have established the Vols D is run challenged and guess what? Need I say it? Yeah, you know what's coming. Oregon is a rushing machine. Along with the Arizona kid, Thomas may be the best back in CFB. Against Virginia he gained 124 yds on just a paltry 11 attempts for a stunning 11.3 avg per carry. The Ducks waddled for 350 yds on the ground. The key in this one is 3rd down percentages. In order for the Ducks to wear you out with the high speed offense, their D has to get them the ball. The Cavs were 6-20 on 3rd down. Tenn was 4-10 vs WKU. Now I am no mathologist but even a clown like me can see if Tenn cannot keep their offense on the field, their D is gonna get shredded.
Once again- QUACK QUACK QUACK!

Florida St -33.5 vs Nevada $137.50 to win $125.50
As I predicted in my write up of the Noles/Pitt game, Jameis (WTF kinda name is that?) Winston is a STUD and I'll go one further and predict a future Heisman winner. I know what you're thinking. How can I base that kinda prediction on one game? Well my friends, sometimes all ya need is one game to see an abundance of talent.
How is this for a kid's first game on the road in the spotlight: 25-27 (one drop and one blown ref call) 356 yds, 4 tds and oh yeah he ran one in. Now let us do some extrapolating. If we could only find a suitable comparison to base this pick on. Well let us look at Nevada's game vs UCLA. Hot Damn, we do have a solid comparison. Hundley is Jameis lite. He had his way with the Nevada D and UCLA won by 38. So if 1+1=2 and Florida St is at least equal to or better than the Bruins, the Noles should cover this HUGE chalk.

Louisville -13 @ Kentucky $220 to win $200
Please spare me the "but MrRedemption, it's a rivalry game" cliché. Let us use what our politicians greatly lack, just some good old common sense.
Last season Louisville beat Kentucky at home 32-14. Not much of a rivalry game huh? I would surmise we can all agree this Cardinal team is better than that one. I know I learned the hard way with my stupid Ohio bet as I made the critical capping mistake of overthinking. Well, I only need to be slapped upside my thick head once before getting the message. This team is the real deal and the hype is warranted. They are freaking loaded at the skill positions. The OC must feel like a young stud in bed with a harem and a whole bottle of those little blue pills.
Now let us examine just how much better this Kentucky team is. Last year they lost to WKU 32-31 in OT. This year they lost 35-26. So I would think based on that not much has changed.
Do not make the mistake of overthinking this one. Teddy got in the HC dog house by waving of the punt team cause he wanted to go for it on a 4th and 2. As warranted, the HC read him the riot act. I believe Teddy will want to redeem himself and bring his A game.

Maryland -7 @ Connecticut $250 to win $227
Brown to Diggs is quickly becoming one of the most deadly passing duos in the country. For me, that is enough to sell me on this one. However, let's add some gravy to those biscuits.
In UCONN's first game against Towson, they could not stop the run. Ross & Reid BOTH averaged 8 yds a carry against Old Dominion so the Terps will control the game running the ball and football 101 baby, when those safeties creep up to help with the run BAMM Brown to Diggs for 6.
One other aspect of this game needs mentioning. The OD QB Heinicke has NFL potential and the Terps picked him off 3 times and had 4 sacks. When healthy, this Maryland team can compete.

Texas Tech +3.5 vs TCU $55 to win $50
Just putting a small wager on this one cause I'm a degenerate who has to have some action. I know Paschall got hurt but I don't think the drop off to QB2 is that big a deal for TCU. I'm basing this one on a home dog with value and I love what the former college stud QB has done with the Red Raider offense as HC.
