Army- Bobby Ross finally has this group going in the right direction and will give Navy all they can handle. Rivalry Game (Understatement) Take the points.

Tulsa- Hats off to Central Florida for turning it around this year and though they have been tough in Orlando this year Tulsa is just better.

Louisville/Uconn Under. New QB for Louisville. Look for Uconn to play it close to the vest. Weather also a factor- lots of running.

Uconn- Bowl Bid on the line- Have been a great home dog (ask South Florida) getting massive points, and Bonislawski is back.

San Diego State- Hawaii can move the ball, but once they get to the Red Zone they don't convert. San Diego State is a team that has improved every week. Unlike most mainland teams they won't be overwelmed by the environment.

TB- 199

souther cal: a lotta points, but usc primed to finally play as capable; look for heisman-worthy rushing; and surprising def by trojans: blo-out

army: seniors wanta beat navy once...black knights are rolling in 2nd half of season

vtech/fsu under: just an idea that g will be closer and less explosive than orginally thought

[Mark's Moneymakers]

ucla (+) vs usc..........just too many points here, it is not like ucla sucks. usc will score at least 50, but ucla will score at least 35.

lsu (-) vs georgia...........should be a great game, but I think lsu is the better team here even at georgia.

tb. 239

s florida (+) vs w virginia...............no doubt w virginia has a very good team, but i think they are getting too much credit. S florida at home will give them all they can handle. w virginia by 3-4 points.

connecticut (+) vs louisville.........louisville never plays as well on the road and now they have to without their qb. u conn can play some d, and 15 is too big a home dog.

colorado (+) vs texas........everybody thinks that because texas has to win and they need to run up the score. sure they could kill them, but i am sure colorado will be fired up to try and ruin the longhorns season, again too many points.

 

[Mark's Moneymakers]

Navy
-----
Navy is 7-1 ats in their L8 games vs Army.
Navy is 29-3 ats when win SU as favs(14-0 w/rest).
Army is 2-14 ats vs Military teams.
Army is 1-16 ats w/rest.

SD St is 13-2 L15/ 8-0 L8A ats vs Hawaii.
Hawaii is 2-14 as favs when allow more than 30 points.

USC
-----
USC is 5-1 L6/4-0 L4H ats vs UCLA.
USC is 8-1 ats LHG.
UCLA is 1-5 as DD dogs.

Va Tech
--------
Va Tech's only loss this year was to the Hurricanes, a game in which they could have won. Florida St is playing their worst ball right now and its not a good time to do that.
Va Tech wins by double digits winning the ACC championship.

West Virginia
------------
There is no team hotter right now than the Mountaineers of West Virginia.
West Virginia has only lost to Va Tech this season. S.Florida looked brutal in their loss to Uconn last week. West Virginia wins easy.

tb:213

 

[cmogly]

Colorado
Bounce back and keep it close.

Army
Turned their season around and are on a roll after losing their first six.

UCLA
Extra week to prepare for a big rivalry game.

South Florida
Haven't trailed at home all year.

Florida State
Playing for respect now.


tb = 252

 

[THE POSTMAN!]

1. USC - best damn team in the country, owes UCLA.

2. Texas - basically because both look like crap last weeek, but one relly is crap.

3. W Virginia -can smell that BCS birth.

4. VA Tech - because FL ST has stunk the joint up the last couple of weeks.

5. Georgia -like them in this spot.

tb - 255:+clueless

 

[opotus]

USC - they will either come out flying for rivalry game to stomp hated opponent, or will be looking ahead; I'll take a chance on the former

Hawaii - recent success ATS, at home

Colorado - division winner should be able to do enough to stay within 26-odd points

LSU - guess I can go by what I saw on TV of both teams this year, though it's really a coin flip

Florida State - extremely disappointing performances against top teams, expect it to continue, VaTech playing well

TB=301

[HuskerFan]

USC over UCLA....one usc player has already said they dont want to let up at all on their rivals...USC got a major scare vs Fresno a couple weeks back and i think its a big wake up for this game...i dont think UCLA's loss to AZ was a fluke and i think they get taken out behind the shed in a big way tonight...

Texas over Colorado...similar to the close call usc had vs Fresno, Texas had a little scare vs A&M and i dont think there is anyway they take the Buffs lightly in this one...they have already throtted them once this year no reason not to expect another...just hope they get over the steep #...Buffs have shown NOTHING the last couple weeks....

vt over fsu...fsu is on autofade mode right now and have shown nothing...vt rebounded nicely last week vs unc holding them to 3....fsu offense has been terrible and will have trouble scoring vs this hokie d...lay it...

navy over army....navy has owned army the past few years....i see no reason for this not to continue....

lsu over georgia...lsu one of the best in the nation...and is 1 ot loss to tenn from being undefeated...they gonna win this game....


tb 320 rushing yards

 

[minnyace01]

CONNECTICUT - Home team will be very tough to beat, especially with a backup QB playing for the Cards; would not be surprised at an outright win

GEORGIA - In a close contest, favor the team who will not turn the ball over and that stat favors the Dogs

TULSA - Will take the better defensive team in a close game; Tulsa should also be able to move the ball on the ground better than Cent Florida will

SOUTH FLORIDA - Home team is now playing in their bowl game and is a very tough beat at home

ARMY - Will play as hard as possible to win for the first time in 4 years; Navy is beat up in the backfield and will not be able to dominate on the ground as in past years

Tiebreaker - 305

 

[Slight Favorite]

LSU (-)
The public likes UGA, the sharps like LSU. Good enough for me.

Tulsa (-)
UCF is a nice story but Tulsa is the better team IMO.

Florida State (+)
If the Seminoles can eliminate turnovers and penalties they can hang with the Hokies.

South Florida (+)
The Bulls can run the ball and should be able to stay within the number at home.

FIU (+)
MTSU is in disarray and barely beat a depleated Troy team last week.


TB: 290

 

[highnine]

Connecticut
Huskies played well at home this year and Cardinals struggled on the road ATS. Thought line was too high before injuries adjustment.

Louisville/Connecticut UNDER
Both teams have decent defenses with strengths matching the others offense strength.

Army/Navy UNDER
Every year game has alternated OVER then UNDER. Last year was OVER.... Expect alot of running in this game.

Tulsa
Both teams have had good years and close game comes down to Golden Knights not stopping the run.

South Florida
Home team has a good defense and anything over a touchdown is a take.

TB=330

 

[waco]

CONN - LOUISVILLE QD OUT
USC - UCLA DEFENSE WILL GIVE UP 60 POINTS HERE

Much better than most Army squads and love the dog in this rivalry.

Louisville
The rookie QB can get it done.

Army
Two teams going in different directions.

USC
Leinhart and Bush will light it up in their final home game.

LSU
Bulldogs haven't been the same since Shockley went down... he hasn't been the same since he's been back either.

South Florida
Undefeated at home and looking to atone for a garbage game last week.

[Speedway]

Connecticut
------------
Connecticut got their qb back 2 weeks ago and they are a much better team when he plays, like last week when they beat South Florida and knocked them from the top of the conference.

Georgia
-------
This game is being played in the Georgia Dome, and that fact should affect the outcome here.

Central Florida
--------------
UCF is an underdog here, and they'll win and cover Saturday.

Virginia Tech
-------------
FSU offense has been terrible and will have trouble scoring vs this hokies defense.

Florida International
-------------------
Golden Panthers are hot now. They can and should win straight-up!

called my square cousin who went 1-4 last week so his anti plays went 4-1 on this contest. try try try again. took his top two and added thee games that in my power rankings should be value plays.


NAVY (squares think this is always an upset or a close game)


conn (biggest anti square play, squares love to bet on L'ville no matter what)

UCLA over (is it 14-0 yet its already 8am fro cripes sake)

West virginia (overlay by 2 points take it)

LSU (better talent, overlay by 2 points take it)

221 tiebreaker

 

[Blue Rhino]

Uconn + Seems like some generous points for a Huskie team who plays well at home. Along the same lines Louisville doesn't play that well on the road.

Tulsa - Teams have similiar records but like the Golden Hurricane who have posted their record against stiffer competition.

Army + Will take the Army team who has won 4 straight in this classic rivalry.

Virgina Tech - Hate laying around 2 touchdowns but Florida State just aint very good this year.

San Diego State + Like the points with the better team in this one. Just hoping Aztecs trip to the island is to take care of the game at hand and they will not be distracted.

tb 282

 

[Joe]

Georgia - Home game for them, LSU in a dome - crunch time

V Tech - Paback time. Fl State seems to be falling apart. Too much speed.

UCLA - Too many points. USC is good, but UCLA will score.

C. Florida - Home game for them, Tulsa has to travel. Great job by a new coach.

W. Vir - Too many points. Conference title decided. W. Vir playing to make a statement.

TB - 313
