If it hits 10, I'm going Stanford.

Update for the UNLV/Wash State game: Washington State QB Jeff Tuel has been downgraded to doubtful.

How did he look in week 2? Week 1 he looked horrible. I'm not going to bet it regardless, just wondering in general.

I explained on the last page.

These numbers will become reliable the closer we get to Saturday. Friday afternoon I will repost.
I fully expect Bama to be close to the top of this list for one.

obviously tehres nothing safe about betting, but i think both teams will put up points, OKST in the 50's and ULL in the higher 20's/lower 30's.

I have no idea, I didn't watch the game. I just saw the report on my twitter feed, so I posted it for people thinking about betting that game.

I'm not touching it either.

Those are some explosive offenses. If ULL has a bad game, Oklahoma State could very well cover or the over could be toast.

WVU dropped 70 in a bowl game. Can JM score 30+?

That explains the line move someone mentioned earlier. Glad I locked in 10.5 last night.

What was the over in Baylor Washington bowl game last year? Second half itself was 42 and covered easily.

they gave up 33 to Clemson also. JM can score, they've score 90+ in 2 games this year.

ULL can score as well, and Okie Lite doesn't play defense

Scoring 90+ is one thing against the likes of St. Francis and Alcorn State. It's completely different against a div. 1 BCS conference defense. Don't get me wrong, I understand your point; I'm just saying it's not like Clemson's offense is absolute garbage and the speed of the defense vs. the likes of St. Francis and Alcorn State compared to WVU's defense will be light years difference for the JM offense

Has anyone brought up Purdue v. Eastern MI, I think it's -24 and UCF vs. FL Intl? A buddy of mine is trying to sell me on them, but hasn't presented any facts just that "FIU and E. Mich are just not good at football"

I agree, but I took WVU at -21.5 so I'm trying to bet the middle, but I don't like +36

i don't think you are giving the general public, (squares, marbles, tiddlywinks) enough credit..

what happens if all of the top five cover? (granted it is straight chalk) i guess the general public wouldn't be so dumb

but i defiantly like UCLA, i'm really surprised it is not at -19/-20.. the others.. meh
