GL boom.  UGA looks like a strong play. 


Thanks for giving my TERPS some props! Been a minute since the football program has had some positive momentum like this. As you noted, having legit playmakers on the field helps a great deal. The FSU and Clemson games should be entertaining, curious to see the lines for those two. 

Keep it real, enjoy your threads each week.

What will Oregon do to Cal? After watching Buckeyes destroy Cal at home... this one should be a 70-10 final in Eugene.

I think that's the problem, this isn't a Russ Wilson/Montee Ball duo. It's Melvin Gordon and Joe.........Stave. Bucks will stack the box most of the game and make Stave throw, which we'll get to see how good he really is.

They have a couple good weapons, Gordon and Abbrederis (hasn't he been there for 6 years already?)......but the Bucks have more.
Wisky always plays OSU tough, no matter who has the better athletes. 

Regardless, it'll be a great game....night game at the Shoe with Wisky will be special, record setting crowd I'm sure.....if only I were in town this weekend -

V.T defensively will keep them in the game.... only thing I worry is Logan having a bunch of turnovers..... if he can limit it to 1 TO.... then I feel better...

The Terps are real and I have been on this bandwagon since the summer.... Trust me... We ( Clemson ) are very concerned with that game.

....You have just moved up a notch in my book. You have went from the worst offense I have seen in 20 years to maybe the only the 100th ranked offense in the country. Trust me, that's a BIG improvement.

Long time lurker, and I do love your write-ups...but holy hell. Let's ease up with the hyperbole!

I think the Alabama/Ole Miss game may be closer than the experts think. What do you say Boom? Ole Miss hasn't played anybody like Bama, but a 3 TD win at Texas is pretty impressive even if Texas is a bad team.

Thanks for your input Boom! I'm nobody to go against you. But I can't see Logan Thomas keeping VT close. Their D may not let up big points but GT will score 10 and we just don't know if VT can with that O lol! Only chance VT has is Beamer ball coming back and the D giving them GREAT field position! Gotta go against ya my man. But like I said I'm a nobody here. Much respect. GL on your plays. And thanks for your posts every week.

Hey Boom,

Long time forum reader.  Finally decided to make an account....  I am in a huge ncaa pool and always start my week off reading your insights/plays.  I would appreciate your thoughts on Iowa -1 @ Minnesota, NIU -3.5 @ Purdue and Florida -14 @ Kentucky.

Don't worry about the haters.  I am 99% convinced books hire coolers tryin' to cause trouble...  Fukk 'em.  I personally think you and the rest of the good cappers on covers give them too much attention.  Keep doin' work...  

Thanks bud

Yo Boom BOL this week

Thoughts on Navy laying 3 to WKU at WKU? They should run all thru them.

Also, what you think about Stanford laying 10 to Wazzu and Wyoming around the same #?

Oregon over 84? I'm interested on your thoughts in the Oregon game as well.

Bunch of questions for you Boom I know lol

first of all...thanks. I do appreciate the kind words


Yes you are right.... ME / I / WE give these douchbags too much attention. I have done much better avoiding the drama this year...

about those picks....

Iowa vs Minny??? Slight lean to Iowa. But you really cant say for sure either way IMO.... theses teams would split 5 times out of 10.

Purdue is garbage...but NIU cant stop a runny nose....so, flip a coin.

Can Florida score 14 points?? Serious question....and I really dont know if they can...



post more often...

84 points is insane....which really proves my point I have been making...the game is changing is 84 our of reach? Helll no... they might hit 100 in this game...

Navy??? Maybe

This Stanford Wazu game is interesting.... I cant decide either way on the points... Im thinking Leach might cover the spread here...People need to pay attention to what Leach is doing

This is THE most talented offensive group in the country man for man....This is not a debate IMO..its a fact. Look at the personal for Georgia on offense and compare it man for man to anyone else in the country...

Key word.....@ Home


This is a winning bet boys...

LSU is good....but not ready for what they are about to see this weekend..... Ask South Carolina....

Respectfully sir, I'll take the Duck offense over ANYONE in the country anywhere anytime. NO OFFENSE on this planet does what they do.

What im referring to is pure overall talent...

Oregon runs a particular offense that is incredible...But, The personal man for man that Georgia has on offense is 2nd to none....

Especially from a NFL standpoint

offensive schemes and player talent is 2 different things...

Oregon, Baylor, Clemson...teams like this have great players within the " system " that run....

But from a pure talent perspective Georgia has all these teams beat to death...

Wait a second...Isn't this the same clown who said he would never come back if FSU and Clemy lost to their rivals last year?  I guess his word doesn't mean that much?

The funny thing is things like..for example: In the SEC Championship game I heard the crowd after the game chanting SEC.... SEC.... SEC... SEC. Why? Why would they do that?

Why not Alabama chant.....Alabama. They won there league... be happy about that Hell, I think even a few Georgia fans were cheering SEC too after the game...

If your team (Clemson) was in the SEC you would understand this, But since they aren't , you can't.
