Taking the over 52 tonight - TCU/Tulane

[yellowman]

Two pretty good offensive teams vs. two defenses that have some question marks. Fast track at the Dome - Love this play tonight. GL all...

Are you going to discount the TCU D that was rated as one of the tops in the nation last year? That is interesting. Good Offense yes, but you gotta throw out something about the Defense in this game tonight.

 

TCU not just one of the tops...they were #1 (gave up 240.9 ypg) and #1 vs. the run (64.8 ypg).

Just something to keep an eye on.

 

[yellowman]

Absolutely - TCU returns six starters on D, but I believe that Losman will be able to move the ball with his receiver corps at times. Not to mention, Tulane returns 2 starters on the other side of the ball. I see a 31-24 type game - won't take the line though...we'll see if I am right...

I hope you are right!

The terrible Tulane D will make the ok TCU offense that much better. TCU's only weapon will be in the backfield.

Losman has many weapons, but is facing the TCU D that has all 4 starting D lineman back (all seniors this year). It was 17-10 last year @ TCU. I think the fast track should help tonight, and heat/weather will not be a factor so we shouldn't have conditioning issues.

I like TCU on the side to simply score more points against a terrible D. I am not 100% sold on the total yet, but I have a lean to the over.

Either way, GL tonight. Hope the horned frogs score 50 for you.

I'll be suprised if they go over 21 points

 

I'm with a lot of people on that over. That KO return was a nice bonus before half.

Long way to go...we need a lot of points!

 

[yankee1879]

35 points to go

 

[yellowman]

Praying for OT lol...that gaff on the first drive by Tulane sure hurt, not to mention that fake FG whatever the fvck that was....still lots of FB left. Losman just needs to get hot.

Got the over also. I wish I could be as optomistic as you. I hope we get it.

 

There's a start!

 

[yellowman]

Eh when you hit the over and 2nd half in the AM game, I guess you can be somewhat optomistic. Man that missed TD and FGs would are huge now - instead of only 24 we might be looking at 30+ now and I'd be REALLY optomistic.

 

I had the Bearcats laying 8 in the AM game so that one was a lot less dramatic. I think you're right about that 10 points squandered in the first half though. If Tulane scores early that would've done wonders for their confidence.

 

31-14...

Closer!

 

[yankee1879]

31 - 21 wow

 

[yellowman]

Lucky I jumped on it early....now that BS at the beginning of the game may really come back to haunt us. All in all, a push isn't that bad considering what it looked like at halftime.

 

31-21

Wow that was exhausting to watch.

If they score that first TD this would be even more exciting (and I wouldn't be hooked at the moment).

One more score guys!

 

[yankee1879]

oh no i have it on 52 1/2 noooooo

 

[yankee1879]

YESSS BOYSSSS WE DID IT 31 - 28

 

[yellowman]

Holy fvcking sh!t....I can't believe it.

But I will surely take it.
