Pretty sure ASU is playing it's backup QB.

Hundley's status is still up in the air tho. Probably would lean ASU at this point.

Any particular reason why? No Taylor Kelly for ASU and without him two weeks ago against Colorado the offense looked dysfunctional.

Mostly because I hate UCLA because they screwed me over 2 times this year already.

UCLA is one of the more maddening teams in CFB.

I think ASU is the only way to look at this game, unless you are project a breakout performance from UCLA.

I'm pretty much convinced that betting ThNCAAF home dogs is just the way to in general... So ASU ML was just too tempting, had to take it.

I don't believe there is ANY talent disparity between UCLA and ASU.

I'd like to take ASU too, but I've been bad at betting Pac-12 games this year (exception being USC over Stanford). Plus I already have too big of a card for this week. I'm staying away.

Completely agree - I think UCLA has a higher ceiling, but they've shown me absolutely nothing impressive this year.

I agree, as long as most other intangibles are equal. And the road favorite is not Baylor at Buffalo.

Another interesting game for me is Minnesota catching +12 @ Michigan.

Nothing that I saw from Michigan against Utah makes me believe they should be laying double digits in conference. They are in shambles from an intangibles perspective. I suppose the books are projecting a bounce back, but that seems like 4/5 points too many.

I like the Gophers. Seems like a 1-possession game to me.

Not for nothin but SMU-TCU is a pretty decent rivalry game. I know SMU looks like hot garbage but rivalry games can bring about anything. I'm still taking TCU, just not huge.

TCU has played well this year and will be playing with a chip on their shoulder as they are still unranked

Prediction: TCU 49-13

I bet TCU, going against SMU until they prove they are better than a TX 5A high school.


Also, really starting to like Duke ML, if GSU covers tomorrow I'm putting my winnings on it
