Trent...I've been waiting the Texas-Colorado line out. I'm hoping some more Texas money will come in and drive the line up to 13 to 13.5 again. This is the key number for me in that game to take Colorado. Much of what I put on this game will depend on what i do today if you know what I mean. Iowa is once again finding a way to blow a game...Ferenz is just awful.3* oregon +15
see illinois @ penn st last week... just don't think there is over 2 tds difference btw these teams... 2 yrs ago w/ inconsistent qb play for oregon they were +8.5 @ usc... now we cross 10, 11, and 14
2* colorado
i forgot to post this as i got some @ 14, 13.5 and 13... would still take it at current number.
strictly my opinoin, but here's what i see:
missouri > texas
colorado > nebraska
if miss is -10 @ neb, then texas should be less @ colorado
good luck

Nice call on Iowa today. Ferenz made some bad calls today, otherwise they might have won that game.
I ended up taking Hawkeyes after looking at their stats. I also liked the under and hit that hard.
Tex Tech and Illinois are looking good so far, hopefully Juice can keep the drives going in the 2nd half. Then it's on to the late games!
I like your Col call, think they can keep it close. Oregon scares me though. I'm staying away from that one, unless maybe it hits 17 (doubt it though)
Trent...I agree with you here...But I haven't decided how strong I want to make the play..I was thinking at first that it might be a sandwich spot for Mizzou...But games that are on Primetime TV with another top 20 team are NEVER sandwich games. Like I stated here during the summer, I thought that Mizzou had the best chance of any team to win the Big 12 this season. I'm still kicking myself for not picking them over Nebraska last week...But I have a long standing policy with myself to never give double digits on the road in the Big 12. In the long run you come out in the red when you do this. I think the 80 number is a good betable number for both sides on the total. But my feeling is in these kinds of games, one side takes over the momentum, and the other side struggles to score..So the over total may have to depend on Mizzou to get all of the points..And I'm not sure that 60 minutes is enough time in a game for one team to get it done..It will be close if Brandon Pettigrew can play..If he can't, then I fear this could be a runaway and OSU will be held below 28 points..Either way you look at it, Pettigrew has been out for 2 games now, and won't be 100% for this game..And he is Robinson's go to man and second leading receiver on the team....Good luckposting this now before dr bob or steam pushes it higher
8* missouri -14
i don't need to rehash all the superlatives about the mizz offense...i will just say this:
Missouri does NOT have a GREAT offense.
Missouri is on the verge of having a HISTORIC offense.
it's the perfect confluence of system, continuity, and talent...and heisman voters will be forced to give the award to chase daniel after he finishes the seaon w/ over 40 tds and less than 5 ints
rather than spend time analyzing mizz offense, just check out ok st defense.
on the road.
in conference.
TRAP ALERT:
i know everyone loves the total, but i think this one might go under...i know that sounds blasphemous, but it would not surprise me at all to see 52-27, 55-24, 59-21 as scores in this game, none of which would go over the total
good luck

Northwestern +3 is another team I like in your conference this week...They are the running dogs..Illinois appears to be hitting their stride as long as Zook don't screw the pooch.
Something else I like about NW is after the bye week QB Bacher should be 100% for this game..I believe that his injury (injury to throwing hand) has been the main reason for Northwestern not scoring as much as they should against Ohio.. After the rest he and this team should be primed for a good game. After watching MSU the last few weeks, it just looks to me like they are getting too one deminisional and conservative and depending on Ringer too much..At this rate this kid is going to get worn down. If he isn't already is. Plus I haven't been impressed with Hoyer. I can see NW stacking the line and making him beat them, which in my opnion he can't.i got them as soon as it opened @ +3.5 but it kinda doesn't make sense to post it now that it's down to +1 but i got it for 5*... would still take it at current line but for only 2*. northwestern defensive strength is the run, which is mich st offensive gameplan... you saw last week what happens to spartan offense when ringer is contained (only 16 pts)... NW should be able to pass on mich st as well-mich st defense has given up 67 pts and almost 1000 yds offense in their 2 road games this season
