AJ may have a career day and Amari Cooper finally shows up. 42-14 Bama. Love the rest of your picks though. Go Sox !!

 Good luck

Ok guys. I very rarely do this but I'm changing course from a no play to a play. I just saw a move on Iowa St. Iowa St was up 17-7 last year and did what they normally don't and what they have not done this year which is turn the ball over and commit costly penalties. Iowa State had 9 penalties and 3 turnovers last year and lost 28-17 failing to score after the first quarter. This year they have had a hard time getting their running game going, but facing Tulsa could change that as Tulsa lost basically everyone from the veteran defense a year ago. Their defense has been struggling vs. the pass and the run so finally Iowa State which has some extra time to prepare can get the offense moving. James White is a senior at RB that should be able to get moving against Tulsa and QB Sam Richardson is a dangerous all around athlete who has a play maker at WR in Quenton Bundrage. Tulsa on the other hand had to replace 3 along the offensive line and still have RB Trey Watts, but Cody Green at QB is not the answer and defenses can easily game plan to take the running game away and make Green beat them and he can't. He completes just 52% of his passes with 3TD and 2 INT in 3 games and he struggled in this match up last year. Tulsa and Iowa State needs this game, but I'm putting it on Iowa State because they have more offensive play makers that will finally show up. Iowa St +3.....Buying a half point.....Good Luck

why does the covers contest for the year show you at 44% ATS?

call me highly skeptical you are at 70% documented ATS in these forums.

Red_Soxxxxxxxx,

Any thought on the ASU/USC game?  Looking at taking ASU -5.5
USC's defense appears better than last year, however the offense is struggling. 
Evening game in the desert.

Good question and I would ask the same. I don't do those contests. I let my two sons fool around with them. I am not going to stop them from playing those things if they want to so please don't go buy any picks on there if you choose to follow. Here is where all my plays along with write ups are. Good luck

The USC strength is by far its defense. It leads the nation in red-zone defense, is second in tackles for loss, third in rushing defense, fourth in total defense and sacks, 11th in scoring defense and 12th in pass efficiency defense. Those are pretty strong rankings but they have come against a schedule ranked 66th in the nation. That makes the inept offense that much more baffling. Last week after coming out and establishing the run early, USC all but abandoned it entirely in the fourth quarter. The Trojans converted none of their eight third-down attempts of the second half and now, this will be Trojans quarterback Cody Kessler's first true road start and it will be taking place in one very tough environment. Arizona St. is ranked 43rd in total offense and 35th in scoring offense which is bolstered by a passing offense that is eighth best in the nation. The Sun Devils have played the 13th ranked schedule thus far so they are certainly the more tested team. I believe this is USCs first road trip after playing 3 straight at home. Strong lean on Arizona St.

is the reverse line movement making you nervous at all related to Ohio State game?  down to 6.5/6.  i think you may be getting in line with the squares on this game.

Is this a line movement decision?

Anything is possible, right? I'm not going to lie. The heavy action that has pushed this down a full point does have me on edge a bit. We will see if I made a bad read on this one and the majority of the public is right. I'm going to watch this line till it closes and watch the late. I do think this moves back with late sharp action. We will see. Good luck

No. If you look at those two posts, they are identical but I made the mistake of typing Illinois instead of No Illinois. I always post the updated official card. That is where you will see both

God, this is annoying.  Nobody gives a garbage about your plays.  We read this thread to read what Red Sox has to say not your plays.  Make your own thread.
