Brigham Young at Texas Christian (10/16/2008)

I think the games are not rigged, its just that vegas have the info and the best cappers in the world making the lines. Trust on them!

BYU Pick -110

GLA

BYU @ TCU:

A pick 'em game?!?!?!?!? The 9th ranked team in the country in a pick 'em game against an unranked team.. smells alot like a trap to me. but other then that, I think this is the best defense TCU has faced all season.. Their defense is great against the run and great at creating turnovers.. I think they should be able to keep this game close enough to have a chance at the end.. which is good enough for me to play..

Will you people please look at who BYU has played? These times have similar offensive and defensive stats (however, those of TCU at home are better than those of BYU on the road). But seriously, name one half-decent opponent BYU has played?
New Mexico? Wyoming? North Iowa?

Really?

TCU, a perennially good team, has faced Oklahoma and then even their not so great opponents are still much better - stanford and colorado state.

TCU will be pumped for this game... they'll be at home... and they'll win by 3.

Shepherd was banned last week.

In the pass Vegas odds makers have found a way to make us the public think a team is better than what they really are.  In this case they want us to place our hard earned dollars on BYU?  Why, well this is one of those games that look better than it might be.  So we place 72% of our money on BYU and the odds go from -2 to a pick!  If this wast true the odds would be going up not down.  Why would Vegas bring this game to a pick, because they know TCU has a very good chance to win this game.  Vagas made a mistake on this line with TCU getting two points and I am all over this.  The defence for TCU allows only 206 ypg and they are at home.  Take TCU in this one.  Vegas has told all of us this is the right play.  Good luck to TCU and may they play well at home.

TCU will be pumped for this game... they'll be at home... and they'll win by 3.  This is avery smart fan.  He has done his home work and yes TCU by 3 or 4.

some people just never learn, granted BYU is ranked, thier offense is stellar, and their defense isn't too shabby, plus the fact TCU is working with a 2nd string QB who has neither the accuracy or the arm strength to will them to a W if down early.....this is exactly what vegas wants you to think.....the thursday night home dog trend...which has slowly faded to +1 at my book....regardless, it has been a favorable one to follow but that is not the only reason to choose TCU

Some facts (some previosuly stated)
-TCU schedule has not been the easiest, including not a bad loss to OKlahoma
-TCU shows the continuity and maturity of that a team should have been being able to get the job done last week with a HUGEEEE lookahead game upcoming against BYU...
-At home with something to prove, and as well all know from past thursdays that these games in the national spotlight give great hype to the teams with something to prove..ie..(Pitt, Oregon St., South FLorida, Colorado) all underrated teams looking to get recognized
-Now for the team....TCU is an underrated defense, and when it comes to the running game thier easily top 10....limited OK 2 top tier running backs to a total around 60yds on the ground..impressive
-lastly, thier own running game is the best aspect of their offense which will take pressure off the QB and slow the game down to their speed which will keep passing attack of BYU off the field

vegas is begging for money on BYU here
don't be an square, honestly simply thinking that BYU can pass the ball and their ranked higher is simply not going to get it done here

************-TCU shows the continuity and maturity of a team that had a huge lookahead game against BYU on the schedule, yet still pulled it together and got the job done...Not an impressive win on the stat sheet but they got the win regardless when they had too

TCU IS THE PLAY, THEY TRAINED HARD TO WIN THIS ONE.

 

Thats stupid...They probably banned him cause he gave good picks

From what I heard is that he got into to it with some covers members. Basically all he needs to do is probably do his time and get back on here when he wants to.

Personally my friend the way the threads been going with all the craziness and hating on here at times I don't even want to come in here.

Good luck bro
