    Hey Boom..

    Just wondering about your thoughts on that MSU/NU under.  I live in the heart of Big Ten country, and mainly bet/watch Big Ten football.  The “Over” pick in this game was gonna be one of my bigger plays this weekend.  Dan Persa is pretty efficient with the football, and after seeing both Michigan and Illinois play Michigan State, I feel MSU’s secondary could be pretty vulnerable to the Wildcats.  Michigan drove the ball pretty handily on MSU, and although the score didn’t indicate the play, Michigan had a wide open Daryl Stonum in the corner of end zone which was missed for a touchdown.  Also, Denard Robinson flat out missed two easy TD’s in that game, throwing behind receivers who definitely had enough separation for an efficient passer to complete.  I also watched Illinois muff a couple easy completions vs. MSU which easily could have changed the outcome of that game.  Most notably, a pass completion/fumble that could have had Illinois with a 1st and 10 in the redzone.  This came off a pretty descent pass from Nathan Scheelhaase, who I wouldn’t necessarily consider the most dangerous passer in the Big Ten.   I kind of compare the NU offense to Notre Dame’s.  Yes, I know Ruldolph played in that game vs. MSU and ND also has Michael Flyod, but the offensive schemes for both teams are fairly comparable, with Persa being a bit more athletic than Crist.  ND scored 31 on MSU.  On the flip side, NU has given up both 28 points and 20 points to very weak schools in Purdue and Minnesota.  Personally, I can see NU scoring 21  (maybe 24 points) in this game, with Michigan State putting up something in the higher 30’s, as they have in 6 of their 7 games.  Don’t get me wrong, MSU has some talent on defense but as you know, college football is all about match-ups and I personally think this is nightmare match up for MSU.  All American Linebacker Greg Jones will be dropping in zones more than doing what he does best, which is aggressively pursuing the LOS.  Lasty, MSU’s best cover corner Chris Rucker has still not been cleared to play, after his DUI arrest.  After all that happened to MSU last year with players getting into trouble, Dantonio has to be careful with playing kids just because he needs “wins”.  He has to make sure he is showing the University that he is cracking down, so I wouldn’t be surprised at all if he keeps Rucker out for this game.

     

    I see it being a pretty close cover either way, but man.. .. with watching Dan Persa for Northwestern about three times this year, and also watching the secondary for Michigan St…  I can’t see how this doesn’t go over.  Plus, adding to the fact (for whatever reason) that Michigan St has had trouble with the Wildcats and being a home game for NU.. .. they will be pretty excited to play the undefeated Spartans.

     

    Good Luck!

    Any thoughts on 2nites game Boom???

    Im leaning DUCKS (BIG).  UCLA just doesn't know what team it wants to be, & Prince isn't 100% & might not play.  They have the nations worst passing efficiency rating & can only run the ball.  Oregon will load up the box and stop the run, forcing them to pass.  Thats when the nations leader in takeaways will pull away.  Oregon will give up some yards, but there is no way this UCLA team will be able to score with the DUCKS!

    Even if Costa takes over for Thomas(not 100%) at some point, there is no way UCLA will be able to slow down the ducks!  Im thinking something like 45-17! 

    Would love to hear your opinion on the game!

    I see it being a pretty close cover either way, but man.. .. with watching Dan Persa for Northwestern about three times this year, and also watching the secondary for Michigan St…  I can’t see how this doesn’t go over.  Plus, adding to the fact (for whatever reason) that Michigan St has had trouble with the Wildcats and being a home game for NU.. .. they will be pretty excited to play the undefeated Spartans.

     

    Good Luck!

    My Thoughts on this game...and BTW, the entire forum likes the over in this game. Michigan S.T as I have said before is becoming a more mature football team. You can see this by on the field success. Last year they lost a lot of football games and finished around .500 but were in every game they played for the most part. maturing as a team in this case is.... Michigan S.T knows that getting into a track meet with a team on the road is the worse thing they can do. What is the best way to neutralize a team that you may have that problem with? Run the Football. I see a lot of running in this game. IMO... Michigan S.T wont throw it more than 22 -25 times...Why? Because a Maturing offense knows that controlling the lock and wearing your opponent down is the best way to dictate the game. Michigan S.T IMO can Dictate this game.... I think they can control the line of scrimmage and force Northwestern to play out of there hands. All in all, I see a 24 - 16 type of game..I n my hones opinion, I think Sparty -5,6or 7 is good as well..

    Even if Costa takes over for Thomas(not 100%) at some point, there is no way UCLA will be able to slow down the ducks!  Im thinking something like 45-17! 

    Would love to hear your opinion on the game!

    no play for me tonight bro...  If you want my opinion...I say play the over... But a NO play for me.

    Was looking at adding UG / UK Over 57.  Any thoughts on the game bro???  I know UK is riding a high, after the BIG comeback win agianst Spurrier, but I still believe in the end they will put pts on the board.  UG is playing really well since the return of AJ & should be able to move the ball at ease agianst a soft Cats D.  Im thinking my CATS will be able to keep it close & looking at both teams being around the 30 mark.
