15* Bowl GOY

[md_bowler]

Sorry to hear that you are on Ohio State, I love to follow your picks but not on this game. Although Ohio State leads the nation in rush defense, the quality of opponents faced isnt anywhere near what K State has faced. K State comes into this game on a roll, while Ohio State comes in a loser;

Ohio St
--------------------
Aug 23 - Open
Aug 30 - W vs. Washington, 28-9
Sep 6 - W vs. San Diego State, 16-13
Sep 13 - W vs. NC State, 44-38 3OT
Sep 20 - W vs. Bowling Green, 24-17
Sep 27 - W vs. Northwestern, 20-0
Oct 4 - Open
Oct 11 - L at Wisconsin, 10-17
Oct 18 - W vs. Iowa, 19-10
Oct 25 - W at Indiana, 35-6
Nov 1 - W at Penn State, 21-20
Nov 8 - W vs. Michigan St, 33-23
Nov 15 - W vs. Purdue, 16-13 OT
Nov 22 - L at Michigan, 21-35

K State
-----------------
Aug 23 - W vs. California, 42-28 (Kansas City, MO - BCA Classic)
Aug 30 - W vs. Troy State, 41-5
Sep 6 - W vs. McNeese State, 55-14
Sep 13 - W vs. Massachusetts, 38-7
Sep 20 - L vs. Marshall, 20-27
Sep 27 - Open
Oct 4 - L at Texas, 20-24
Oct 11 - L at Oklahoma State, 34-38
Oct 18 - W vs. Colorado, 49-20
Oct 25 - W vs. Kansas, 42-6
Nov 1 - W vs. Baylor, 38-10
Nov 8 - W at Iowa State, 45-0
Nov 15 - W at Nebraska, 38-9
Nov 22 - W vs. Missouri, 24-14
Dec 6 - W vs. Oklahoma, 35-7 (Kansas City, MO - Big 12 Championship)

As you can see, K State is rolling. Ohio State beat a not so good Mich St and Penn St team. They lost to an OK Wisc Team, and a good Mich Team. K State had no excuse except mental let down against Marshall. The bad momentum then carried them to loses in the following 2 games. But now they have come back to dominate 7 games in a row. Quality backs have killed the Buckeyes. C. Perry (31-157), Stanley (31-138). I think K State Def will force the issue and the K State Rushing game will find its stride. I am looking for a 34 - 14 win for K state here... Sorry we are on opposite sides...

I AM WITH MARYLAND ON THIS SORRY... THE BIG TEN IS YES BIG AND SLOW AS HELL

Wow, you make a good argument. Always good to hear from you. I guess there's every chance in the world that you could be 100% correct. Good luck to you, and I hope your bowl season has been profitable

Guys, I'm going to go with a teaser on tonight's game: Ohio St +14, and over 34. I'm on Ohio St as it is, and can't these teams score 34 points between them? I know the under is the "big play" and that the line is moving down, but still -- 34 points? If KSU wins 20-17, we win the teaser. What's so hard about that? They do have offenses, don't they?

ny, where do you get 7 pt teasers?

 

[Co-Captain]

IDENTITY, I ANSWERED THAT QUESTION IN MY THREAD. YOU CAN GET IT AT BETROYAL OR CARIB

 

[Co-Captain]

Reb, I think thats a good teaser. I had it with the UNDER of 49. Both I think cant hit as like you said 20-17 whats hard about that. At 49pts and 7 touchdowns. I think with these two Def's it very hard to achieve. So heres to both of us hitting it. GL and Aloha CC.

IDENTITY, I play them at Olympic, Canbet, and Carib.

 

[NYReb]

Boy, I'm loving that teaser more and more.

I like the way Ohio St is playing. I still can't figure why anyone thought it was so obvious that KSU would win this game. Take away the Buckeyes' game with Michigan and KSU's game with Oklahoma and we have a near pick'em. Amazing how powerful public perception and most recent impressions can be.

 

[Co-Captain]

Reb it a done deal thats a winner. I just hope they stay under my number of 49. I think I got a shot, as long as no freebie TD's like off another block punt. I see more FG's coming up as teams tighten down on Def, now that they had a taste of what the other can do and bring.

 

[NYReb]

As long as I get my over you certainly have my support to get your under

I say you got a good shot. KSU has to play catch-up, while Buckeyes will try to run off time. Good luck!

 

[Co-Captain]

Thats a deal Reb!

 

[NYReb]

Man, the Buckeyes definitely felt dissed! The guys who took them with the moneyline were smart.

Co-Captain, you'll be lucky to go under 49. They'll have to play the whole 4th quarter without scoring. I feel really good about my teaser on the Buckeyes and over -- mostly because I stayed true to my own feelings and ignored influences that indicated the play was the under.

More and more I learn that inner feelings are more reliable than outer influences. With that said, it's also true that accurate info is invaluable.

 

[Co-Captain]

I am done on that one. But still had them on the teaser with Clemson . So not all lost. Congrats on your Good Day , hope it continues. Aloha CC.
