--- Week 2 DISCUSSION ---

**DukiesBaby** · 09-07-2011, 05:31 AM

Some games that pop out at me first glance...

Oregon State at Wisconsin
Sat 9/10 307 Oregon State +21�
12:00PM 308 Wisconsin -21�

Wow thats alot of points to be giving the beavers, forget week #1 had the beavers handled business like they should have i wonder where this line ends up, wisconson should be the public play of the week, i know 2 things Beavers travel well, and Beavers coach will have his team more prepared, i dont think beavers can win this game but ill gladly take the 21.5 and the under...

BYU at Texas
Sat 9/10 359 BYU +7
7:00PM 360 Texas -7

Is it just me or Is texas being a 7 point favor seem like a program line vs actual match up line... what has texas given me to go off? i dont think the greatest of byu but i feel same about texas, and i think a 7 point line at home tells me 70% gonna pound texas at a touch down... ill probably stay away from this one

Virginia Tech at East Carolina
Sat 9/10 329 Virginia Tech -20
3:30PM 330 East Carolina +20

Stanford at Duke
Sat 9/10 339 Stanford -21
3:30PM 340 Duke +21

Standford & V-tech .... These 2 programs looked REALLY GOOD to me in week #1 i'm buying into blow outs again for both these 2 schools again this week

Notre Dame at Michigan
Sat 9/10 375 Notre Dame -3�
8:00PM 376 Michigan +3�

this might be a joe public fan pick, But to me notre dame looked like they were starting to click near the end of the south flordia game, showed some signs of capable football, ill bite on TEAM USA here for week 2 and maybe the over too...

Fresno State at Nebraska
Sat 9/10 355 Fresno State +28
7:00PM 356 Nebraska -28

+28 give it to me please, the bulldogs are a good program that plays tough in big games, and nebraska offense in my opinion doesnt have enough go power to put this team away by 29+ points, 38-13 is the worst i could see happening here, maybe with a defensive touchdown in there and some turnovers with short field... points and the under here for me

Utah at USC
Sat 9/10 371 Utah +9�
7:30PM 372 USC -9�

Not at all impressed with USC they looked like they could not move the ball on offense, if utah shows up with any bit of defense here than +9.5 is a good number to have, Utah straight up might not be too bad either for a small sum....

I like the Beavers too. Good value on them as they sucked lats week, and eveyone remembers how Wiscy dominated. OSU is not as bad as they looked last week. Riley will get them going. And UNLV is so piss poor, it made Wiscy look a lot better.

One game I like is Air Force at home +2 over TCU. I think eveyone will be back on TCU once again, but AF has a good, veteran team coming back and have a revenge angle from last year. 95% are on TCU right now and the line haas not moved yet. HMMM... TCU seems like free money at first glance but digging deeper, i think TCU starts 0-2 this year.

Also like Cinnci +7 at Tenny too. I grabbed it early at 7 but has now moved to +6 with a lot of reverse line movement on it. Good QB for Cinnci and Tenny will take some time to get going this year. Just hope the line isn't too jam packed with the fact that Cinnci beat someone by 65 last week.

I have to agree unfortunately with you on the Beavers.

A couple of notes that will be helpful (hopefully).

1. While Wisconsin does play well at home and are capable of putting up 50, 60 or 70 plus points, this typically happens later in the year when they are in there Big Ten schedule.

2. Wisconsin did give up quite a bit of yardage and points to a very poor UNLV team. Though I am not sure that wasn't by design. They really did not show much of any sort of defensive scheme and I am wondering if they are playing it cool until the Big Ten season....NOTE: They do have a new Defensive Coordinator this year so maybe the defensive effort displayed is what we got.

3. In blowout games Wilson and the offensive starters will continued to be pulled. They want to get the 2 undergrads some snaps for experience and they have a very good freshman RB that they want to play as well. Bielema (and Alvarez) do not believe in (at least publically) keeping in a player to "pad" stats for any sort of Heisman Trophy, Rankings, etc. This was true when Dayne won the Heisman. He was pulled many times later in the year to keep him healthy for the Rose Bowl.

I guess long story short, I would play against the Badgers until at least the Big Ten season starts.

I think ECU keeps it close with VTech, at the very least 1sth.

**Daws1089** · 09-08-2011, 05:46 PM

I like the over in the oregon/unlv game. I think oregon gets things going at home off the opener and unlv should be able to contribute.

**Daws1089** · 09-08-2011, 05:55 PM

The fact that bama isnt -14 or -15 has me all over psu

I was thinking of Oregon tt over, taking UNLV right out of the equation. :thumbs:

**Stifler's Mom** · 09-09-2011, 05:17 PM

Oregon plays Nevada

UNLV is @ Washington St

Right?

**Daws1089** · 09-10-2011, 06:50 AM

Correct Stif. Sorry I was mixing up my nevada teams..

**Daws1089** · 09-10-2011, 09:46 AM

After a 6 pt move Duke is now +21 vs stanford?? Smells trappy to me, but I like Duke.

**Giraldo5** · 09-10-2011, 09:52 AM

My favorite play is Bama @ PSU. That defense is by far the best in the country imo and I don't see Penn state putting up more than 10 points unless they create some turnovers on D. I see this game going similarly as last yr and ending in a defensive gem. Hop on the wagon

**Daws1089** · 09-10-2011, 10:16 AM

for some reason i thought duke opened at +15.5, but it looks like it was 18.

**Giraldo5** · 09-10-2011, 10:20 AM

Opened at 19.5 on my site.
