Jon Joseph Moderator No. 1 Share Posted November 11, 2021 I am now 14-9 on the season. 13 -8 ATS and 1-1 straight up. I fell for the 'sucker' MI ST -3 at Purdue bet. But MIZZOU covered UGA by 1 point and Oregon covered the -6.5 in a tough environment and in tough weather conditions. Take that Bear! If Bear was dependent on his Bank; well, he'd be in need of food stamps. Going brand name large this week with Clemson -41 vs UCONN. Dabo needs to put on a show for the folks at home. I'm not certain that UCONN could defeat Stony Brook? Going brand name small and taking New Mexico State +51.5. Bama can name the score but Bama has to pick up its run game, burn clock and protect against further injuries on the O side of the ball. And whether Bama defeats NMS by 50 or 100 it will not raise The Tide over an UGA team that wins at Tennessee. I love UGA. But if any team has done unexpectedly well in year 1 it is TN under Josh Heupel. UGA wins but I think TN covers the 20.5? I think the TN O will be the 1st to put up more than 14 points against this Dawgs D? Kentucky has seen a great season by KY standards, go a gleaming the last 2 weeks. I think a ticked off Kentucky covers the -21.5 at Vandy? Never bet more than the value of the under-drawers that populate the drawers in Larry's manse.

UCONN is bad, but this years Clemson has only scored 41+ points this season once, much less win by that many, An interesting game is Texas A & M -2.5 at Ole Miss. It should hurt Alabama if Ole Miss. can steal a win here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should hurt Alabama if Ole Miss. can steal a win here. I cannot disagree regarding the Clemson O to date. Thus, I see a 'release the hounds' effort at home vs a more than suspect UCONN D? The Clemson D has been solid from the UGA game on. I see lots of possessions in this game for the Tigers O. If I had to go with the A+M at Ole Miss game and I thought about doing so, I would have taken Ole Miss straight up. The A+M D is nasty but I don't see the Aggies being able to keep pace with the Ole Miss offense? A+M's D smothered the Auburn O at home last week. But on the road vs a prolific O? I don't see it. And the A+M O is average in every regard. Lots on the line here. If Arkansas or Auburn can defeat Bama, and Bama is 1-4 in its last efforts on The Plains, at Auburn, Ole Miss if it wins can win the SECW. And A+M with its W over Bama + Auburn has the tie breaker over both. This is far from a vintage Bama team. The Tide is ranked 2nd now mainly based on deserved reputation. Of course, every season in theory begins anew. Ain't that so PO Committee? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll have to pass that along to the Powers that Be...(SEC & ESPN) and get back to us, Ole Miss offense with Kiffin calling the plays and Corral at QB could be more than A & M D can handle, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Ducks bring the run game it showed after finally getting decent field position in Seattle, IMO, the Ducks should be able to control the WSU game with a good chance to cover? I also like the U but will it be 'Up U' or 'Down U' that shows up? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Committee is in a pickle regarding Cincy if the Bearcats don't drop a game in 2021? But the CT did not help Cincy's cause; no other AAC team is ranked. Also, a loss by ND at UVA could bury Cincy's hopes? It's pretty darn clear from all the chatter that the ESPN folks want 2 SEC teams and little guy Cincy in the PO? Cincy is one contender who will not finish with a better SOS than the Ducks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida State is slowing down on offense, and I doubt they'll be able to keep up with a surging Hurricane offense. I see QB Clifford giving UM headaches (and he's healthy). That is going to be a really good game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
