Don't know how much you pay attention to trends like this but nonetheless found this to be interesting.

In the last ten years of the Oklahoma vs. Texas game the Longhorns are 10-0, ats, the following week.
They are actually 8-2 ATS and 10-0 SU the next week. Ironically the last time they didn't cover the week after playing OU was in 2004 when they played Missouri the next week..Deja vu all over again?

I see it as around a low to medium scoring game..Maryland is starting to get some players healthy in the defensive backfield, which could help your cause. But at any rate, the key here is how well Maryland will be able to get their running game going..They are the potential running dogs in this game. A good run game will probably lead to a lower score. Wake hasn't impressed me at all on offense the last few weeks. So if the trend continues then I think you have a good chance..Have you looked at the South Carolina/LSU under 44? Whenever I see two teams with inexperieced QB's I start looking at the under... I can see SC winning this game ugly...I don't know if anybody noticed this, but South Carolina plays up or down to their competetion. They beat the bad teams by the same types of scores and margins as they do the good teams...It's called winning ugly..That's why SC usually doesn't get any respect with the linesmakers...But they are a pretty consistent team. Especially at home where no more than 39 points have been scored in any of their games. Win or lose I look for the same kind of 20-17 type of score in this game.

Good to hear you got the same ideas as I do on the under. That LSU/SC line seems like South Carolina would be the right play. The books obviously aren't giving much respect to LSU after getting demolished at the Swamp, and that Auburn road win means very little now that we know the real 2008 Auburn team. I'll look into either USC or the under, because I don't see either team getting more than 24. Good luck GS, you're gonna have a big weekend.

Go Sooners - GL today. I read earlier you felt PSU would be your strongest play (if you had to choose). Prior to reading that, I thought you would go with Memphis. I really like them to cover. I would think you feel pretty strong about Memphis? Is it because they are on the road or lack of D? (not making it your strongest play) Thanks for the info.

This week's plays so far:

OU-Kansas (OVER 60.5) **
Baylor (+17) over OSU **
Missouri (+6) over Texas **
Georgia Tech (-2) over Clemson **
New Mexico State (+2) over San Jose St. **
Colorado St. (+21.5) over Utah **
Memphis (+8) over East Carolina ***
SMU (+13.5) over Houston ***
Penn St. (-24.5) over Michigan ***


This is the first week that I'm trying this..But I've been doing pretty good this season with my one star (1 unit) plays. But I haven't included anything in my thread under 2 stars. A lot of plays this week. But smaller risk. We'll see how it goes...Good luck


Maryland (+2) over Wake Forest *
Virginia Tech (+3) over Boston College *
South Carolina (+2.5) over LSU *
OU (-19.5) over Kansas *
Arizona (+3) over Cal *
Texas A&M (+21) over Texas Tech *
Stanford (-2.5) over UCLA *
Toledo-N.Illinois (UNDER 47.5) *

I have been having a tough time on the stanford play. On one hand it makes a ton of sense. Their running game should have plenty of success, however UCLA is playing better, particularily at QB where stanford has issues covering the pass. What puts you on the Cardinal?

Best of luck!

Chase and Maclin have been great this year but don't forget about Derrick Washington. He's ranked 19th in the power rankings for running backs in the NCAA on cbssports. He is averaging 110 all purpose yards a game and has 13 touchdowns already this year (2nd most in NCAA). He has been a great addition to the offense.

You also forgot to mention the star tight end, Chase Coffman. Hes ranked #3 in TE's with 93 yards a game.

Yes, I agree they are good but not great. Neither player will get drafted in the first round.

Ducks...Stanford was one of my running dogs earlier in the week before the public made them a favorite..And that's why I just made this a one unit play. This is strictly a system play for me..You may very well be right about UCLA. They are improving..This should be a big game for Stanford. With the teams they have ahead, winning this game is probably their only chance to make it to a bowl.

My numbers are stronger for the Memphis play more than any other. The ONLY reason that i didn't make them a Best Bet play is because I haven't had any luck betting on this Memphis team over the years. So it's strictly a superstitious thing with me. But the numbers are STRONG in Memphis favor.

GoSooners, I'm not understanding your reasoning as to the OU and Mizzou picks. As I'm watching this OU game, I'm realizing that you think OU (your team), after getting upset fairly large last week, will come back strong against an underrated Kansas team. Meanwhile you think Texas will come out flat against an overrated Mizzou team? I just don't get it. Texas proved they were better than OU last week, and I think OU is better than Missouri. I would think you'd give your team the edge (OU) over Missouri if they were to play today. I just think your personal feeling got in the way of these two picks. I could be wrong, but I just don't see how you could pick OU -20 to cover against Kansas, and how you think Mizzou can cover against UT. We'll see, and I might very well have egg on my face around 11 tonight (lord knows I'll have Jim Beam on it). Good luck, accept on those two picks, especially Texas.

My bigger play in the OU-Kansas game is the OVER. I felt like Kansas didn't match up well with OU in certain areas. And that OU MIGHT be able to cover that spread..But like I said, it was only a 1 unit play for me..As for the Texas-Mizzou game tonight. If I had been able to get Mizzou at +7.5 when it first came out, I would have considering middling it with the spread where it is now at 4. Mainly because I think this could be a 1 TD game or less. But I was only able to get it at +6. Personally I think Texas is going to win the game..But I feel like it's going to be close....Fair enough?

Absolutely. I apologize as I misread your play. I thought you had OU - the points as the play. Let's hope both our teams get a win tonight. Good luck!

That late backdoor score from Kansas stung me a little bit. That's the danger in betting big lines, though.

Ouch.
