Northwestern -11 -110

Have been bleeding Orange since I was born. It's sad to see where this team has fallen. Plain and simple they don't have the talent to compete anymore. Northwestern is an awful matchup for the Orange. The spread offense will do just that. Spread the field and expose Syracuse's lack of speed and size. There is no way Northwestern's experienced offense doesn't hang 35+ on the Orange. As far as offense Syacuse's offensive line is a joke. Andrew Robinson is an average at best quarterback. He lacks the accuracy that is needed to succeed with the talent he has. Losing Taj Smith early to the draft, and Mike Williams to academics exposes the only strength they may have had. Williams is under sized and lacks the speed to produce consistantly and Lobdell lacks football senses. Running backs are decent, but won't have a prayer to succeed behind a brutal O line. The Orange can maybe get a TD or 2 on the board just cause NW defense is nothing special, but that won't nearly be enough for the cover for what is sure to be another long yr.

Michigan -3 -110

Seems like nobody is giving Michigan much chance in this game? For some reason I just don't see Utah walking into the big house and coming out with a win. I don't care what is said about Rich Rodriguez he is an excellent coach and I think very highly of what he can do. This hiring is exactly what Michigan needed. They need a coach who is in their face. For years I felt they lacked discipline, which led to disappointing seasons such as last. Since the offense will experience a major overhaul Rodriguez putting in his scheme won't be as tough. Sure they will not master the offense right away, but their may be some opportunites against a young Utah D. Michigan's defense will be their strength. They are experienced and talented. They return all the guys upfront, both corners, and bring in a JUCO lineback that will play the strong side. IMO Utah will have a tough time running the ball against Michigan. Mack doesn't have the speed to get to the outside, and will not be able to pound the ball up the middle. I expect Michigan's defense to help the offense and protect their home field.

i'm on planet earth. have access to see where a lot of avg joe bettors are and for the most part they are on Utah. Then again I don't really care where everyone is. I cap games and if "everyone" is on the same side they are on the same side. that doesn't phase me.

 

[homedawg]

i can't believe some of these unsportsmanlike calls. i mean the NW guy barely touches andrew robinson and they throw a flag on 3rd and 22 gimme a break this is football. they have pads on. it is supposed to be physical

2nd Half Col/Col St Over 27.5 -110

 

[homedawg]

most likely getting ready to pound Rutgers 2nd half. pretty much dominated the first half and have nothing to show for it. rutgers missed 2 easy fg's and turned the ball over on downs another time. rutgers time of possesion is will show its affects on the fresno defense in the 2nd half in the heat. they can only bend so far without breaking. assuming nobody scores rutgers -4 will be a pretty decent sized 2nd half play for me

Rutgers -3 (-120)

Fresno defense on the field for way to long. Hot day and will show in the 2nd half. Rutgers had plenty of opportunites to score (2 missed gf, turnover on down inside 5). dominated the half. Fresno's defense will start to show the effect of being on the field too long, and that's not even factoring in jet lag.
