Did I miss something? It looks like a sure win, but maybe Vegas knows something i don't.

that's my roommate's thoughts

zona put up more yards than its score would indicate

OSU has a true freshman QB and no super WR has emerged yet

i'm leery of a true freshman having his first start away from home, especially when we don't know if he's good or not

zona had 624 yards of offense last week

How is it that you think jinxes work? 'Cause I'm pretty sure what I wrote doesn't qualify.

Either way, if y'all are going down, I'll be going down with you.

I'm leery of teams like Arizona that aren't any good at the game of football.

If you love MACtion like I do, you wouldn't have written that as if it was anything other than completely insignificant.

notice i couldn't even speak of last week for OSU b/c it was less than insignificant. we have no idea of OSU's quality this year

hell even last week they looked sloppy as all hell in the 2nd quarter after putting up 35 in the 1st

toledo is a decent team

Toledo was an excellent offensive team last year that couldn't prevent a JV high school team from hanging 30 on them.

Don't mess with me on MAC. I know my MAC, by god.

Last year, OkSt was about 17 orders of magnitude better than Arizona. The only way they lose enough to bring them down to 'zona's level this year is if there is a goddamn plane crash. And you can quote me on that.

What does that have to do with this year?

Weeden/Blackmon was worth, well.....about 17 points.

a. last year. they have a new coach and offensive system this year. they have a new defensive system this year, coached by a really good DC. stoops did leave some talent out there. i'm not saying zona is a title contender, but they may make a huge jump this year via superior coaching

b. OSU lost some talent from last year. they went from a monster WR and 28 year old calming influence at QB to an unknown WR corps and a true freshman QB. that's called a drop

Why did Vegas/Offshore have Bama (-11)? Betting trends.
Plus, they are a home underdog >7.
