***UDoggie's Week 7 NCAA***

[Daws1089]

those INT's on the road are what worry me. OSU leads the nation in turnovers and I just don't know if OSU could over come it if they did turn it over multiple times on saturday. OSU's defense has impressed me at times, but i'm not ready to back them with my money. Thanks for giving me your take. GL.

Thanks Bo, Birds, Hoosier.... 2-1 +2 units for Humpday :thumbs:



Hoosier- Yes I did... actually watched that game over the LSU/Florida game (thankfully I have TiVo) & had Cincy +pts & ML. I'm sure many will look to grab the points here, thinking Louisville is a high scoring team & can hang, or that 10.5 is just too many pts. I think Cincy's no-huddle offense is going to wreak havoc on the Cards, who are allowing over 30 ppg & 444 total yards. I'm pretty sure Cincy will be up for this one, as they haven't won vs. Louisville the last 4 meetings. Crowd should be insane. Aside from the close win last week @ Rutgers, Cincy hasn't even played a close game. They passed the test last week, so I'm confident enough to lay the chalk vs. a team that couldn't beat Cuse or Utah at home..... IMO this will be a 3 td win.



Daws- I'm starting to think the Pac-10 isn't as good as I thought after losses by USC & UCLA... Is Cal really the #2 team in college? I'm not sure. This is the highest ranking for Cal in over 50 years. While there's no doubt Cal is the better team, I think they are due for a letdown game. IMO they have had 2 quality wins, at home vs. the Vols & @ Oregon. They gave up 31 pts to Tenn, & were extremely lucky to escape Oregon with a win. They were outgained by 100 yards & allowed 4.9 ypc to the Ducks, but benefitted from 4 turnovers. Hell they only beat Colorado state 34-28! For some reason, OSU plays well in Berkely, having won the last 3 meetings there. That includes 2005, when OSU finished 5-6 but beat then 18th ranked Cal in their own house 23-20. OSU has a playmaker in Bernard, who had 194 yds & 2 tds last time they beat Cal. I do have my worries about Canfield, who has thrown 7 tds but 13 interceptions. However, 5 were in the game @ Arizona state, & 3 were @ Cincy. Cal off a bye, I would have liked it even more (& possibly played ml) had they been fresh off the Oregon win....

i'm curious to see why you like oregon state this week? I think they are an awful team.

[HoosierDaddy]

UDog, did you catch that Cincy-Rutgers game? Man, I cannot tell you how impressed I am with Cincy right now. Opportunistic defense that seems to thrive on creating turnovers. QB who's tough as s--t. WRs that are absolute playmakers.

I think they give Louisville team absolute fits this weekend

Thanks Daws, Nitts, hodown JoePa, JPix & L.T.L :thumbs:

Jpix- there's plenty of room on board the UCF train :sm:


UCF- 1st thing that jumped out to me was the situational aspect of this game. USF has Rutgers on deck plus a short week. Very tough not to look ahead when you have one of the biggest divisional games of the season on deck. Now, let me say this- I like USF as a team. I think they are a great up & coming program, & loved it when they beat Auburn. However, I think they are a bit overvalued here. USF managed a win vs. WV, thanks to 6 turnovers, despite being outgained 437-274. FAU managed 411 total yards vs. the Bulls last week. Now they have to face the nation's #9 rushing attack lead by Kevin Smith, who is averaging 5.9 ypc. USF is allowing 115 ypg, & UCF is averaging 239 per game on the ground, something's got to give. As JoePa pointed out the Knights are off a loss, in which they outgained E Car by 130 yards, but surrendered 5 turnovers. I think UCF will be able to move the ball vs. USF, & an outright win would not surprise me.....

I like this line all the way down to +10, so I think I'm going to wait it out due to BetED giving the most ridiculous lines on dogs I've ever seen.
