Cool- You are very welcome for my NBA plays. I'm excited for the new year to begin as I have already began looking in depth into the season.
Dzease- I myself am on under 46.5 to close out the third leg of my parlay. I have had it open since Monday night and have passed on a bunch of baseball games in anticipation of this total. It is right where I want it. As for the play I am calling it a no play but If I did have to pick a side I would pick Rutgers. Everyone is hyping up Fresno State but if you look at that game (especially the first half) it was pretty much dictated and won by Rutgers. They played better defense in the first half, moved the ball and actually showed signs of life. If it wasn't for bad coaching decisions and a few broken plays Rutgers would be 1-0 and Fresno State would be catching more than a TD at home to Wisconsin this week.
Whoever asked for Insight on the Kansas game- The only thing that scares me about this game is the fact that it is in Primetime in South Florida on a Friday night. Other than that Everything leans Kansas. Homefield IMO is worth 3-4 points in college football. So what you are telling me is South Florida=Kansas. Not even close. Kansas plays in a much better conference against much better opponents to start. Kansas has the better QB is Reesing. If one is worried about Grothe running all over Kansas out of the pocket then you should look to Kansas' linebackers. They probably have the best combo of linebackers in the Big 12 and maybe in the country. Rivera , Holt and Mortensen will be all over the field and will be eating up SO FLA running game and will keep a spy on Grothe so the Grothe running factor will be 0. I look for Reesing to exploit the number 1 overall defense in the nation on Friday when he goes after the two young, young corners. Both Roberts and Murphy have futures in the Big East and even beyond that but they are young and they have never seen a QB/WR threat like Reesing/Briscoe.
Final Score: Kansas 27 South Florida 24
* I actually had an early week lean on SOFLA because of where it was being played and the "on-paper" matchup. Once I got into deep capping of this game I changed my mind and I now think I am on the right side
