Was just clearing up for discussion purposes. I'm staying away from Wash... The under is a possibility for me, but I doubt I'll do my due diligence on that matchup. I'm carrying a nice side card already.

quote:

Coach Steve Sarkisian has led the Huskies to back to back winnings seasons, going 7-6 in consecutive years. They come into the 2012 season with high expectations, with sophomore quarterback Keith Price playing behind an offensive line that has three starters returning from last season. Price threw for 3,063 yards and 33 TDs last season as a freshman, and he is expected to be one of the best quarterbacks in the Pac 12 this year.

The Huskies running game takes a hit, as Chris Polk is replaced by a tandem of Jesse Callier and Bishop Sankey. Washington won't have much trouble scoring against a San Diego State team that has some big question marks on the defensive line that has no starters returning from last season. Their secondary will return two starters, safety Nate Berhe and cornerback Leon McFadden, and this should help them stop the bleeding to a certain degree.

On offense the Aztecs have no shortage of talent, with former Beavers quarterback Ryan Katz coming over in a transfer from Oregon State. They also have one of the best receiving tight ends in the country with Gavin Escobar who caught 51 passes for 780 yards and seven TDs last year. They also have a couple of juniors returning at wide receiver, with Colin Lockett and Dylan Denso.

The Huskies are a young team with plenty of talent, and while they are likely to get the win here in their season opener, they are giving up a lot of points. I am going to suggest a play on the Aztecs to cover the spread.

I'd lean to that side, but at the end of the day San Jose covered 4 games on the road as dawgs last year. They were known for that last year. Much different/less team this year, but the taste will still linger and cause me to find better value.

Latest over/under is 56.5. Might be worth taking.

Yeah same here. I also had WSU +13.5. I went to bed in the second quarter so at least I was unconscious when I was getting fricked in the arse.

What does everybody think of the o/u 52 in the UT/ NCST game?

I was thinking under 52. Losing Rogers hurts Tennessee. And until they prove otherwise their running game is still subpar.

don't feel bad about the USC game. You're just a joe public bettor and you were unable to foresee Shaw getting hurt like all of the sharps did.

I definitely like the play on Sparty. In all honesty, I've won two O/U bets and haven't lost a single one, but I just don't know how to gauge them enough to feel comfortable, really.

That 58 should be pretty good though. NC State averaged 28.2 PPG last year and Tennessee averaged only 20.3.

I was also unable to see the fact that the Vandy pass rush was just gonna hang out in the USCe backfield all night.

If USCe wants to make another run at an SEC East crown, they're gonna HAVE to protect better.

very unimpressed with USC. Not many playmakers on the offensive side of the ball, they're going to have to run lattimore and shaw into the ground.

I thought they'd lose the east due to a tougher schedule, but UGA is probably just a better team. It's only week 1, so we'll see.

Ace Sanders isn't a bad WR, but he doesn't seem to get open very much. When he does, he can make a play or two.

It seems to me that Shaw was too quick to tuck it and run last night. I understand why though. He was running for his damn life all night.

Spurrier is going to have to rearrange that Oline from scratch.
