well thanks for the comments rightside....i mean with Wazzou, even the worst teams cover 5-6 times a year, i just think it's too many points.
Any insight on the Arizona game? i see you like Arizona, but i'm not sold on them being one of the top 4 teams in the Pac-10...i like Stanford with the home points as maybe my best bet.
also...anyone see San Jose St. absolutely throttling Idaho?
Ok heres my basis for the Arizona play. I think Harbaugh has this stanford program heading in the right direction for sure. He gets his teams up for certain games (last year USC, CAL) and this year he got his team ready for the opener and pulled off the win against a much more talented OSU team. With that being said I don't think this is a game he gets is team up for.
Obivously thats not enough to warrant a wager. Arizona hasn't been to a bowl game since 98 and sitting at 4 wins this is a much needed game considering the rest of the schedule. They can win at Wsht st, and possibly beat Oregon st at home. So they need this game if they are going to get to a bowl game which Stoops wants.
Now just looking at the teams themselves. Stanford is just an average Pac-10 team, while Arizona has an offensive machine ran by Tuitama. Laying pts on the road in conference is not wise but its under a TD and Arizona can flat out score. Stanfords secondary is suspect. When they have played teams that like to air it out they have gotten torched. They gave up 343 and 3 TD's through the air to ND and where down 28-7 entering the 4th Qrt. When they played ASU Carpenter through 345 and 3TD as well. Arizona's D will give up some pts to stanford no question but the final question is do you think Stanford can score enough to match Arizona?? I think not.
All that being said I could be wrong, but I like my play and two very good west coast cappers are on Arizona as well (Conan, Uweducks)
Best of luck, RS
