soon to join you on Oregon...

Pags,

Here is my 2 cents on the Oregon selection. First of all, USC has played two teams with inadequate quarterbacks in Hawaii and Arkansas. Well, Clemens of Oregon classifies as one of the best qb's in the country. Second, due to their inadequate offenses, neither Hawaii or Arkansas could score easily and had enormous problems on offense. Oregon on the contrary has been very good on offense. Third, USC is beat up on defense. DE Barett is out, LB Sartz is likely out, LB Williams will play but is not 100%, DB Bing is probable but not 100% and DB Thomas is out. I know that USC is a deep team and would probably not miss a beat vs an avg offensive team, Oregon is an outstanding offensive team so figure backups are prone to some mistakes in run and pass responsiblilities. Fourth, USC I don't believe has played Oregon in 2 years during their National Title years so they have nothing to draw on in regards to knowing how to play Oregon as Crowton was not there last time they played. Fifth, since 1987 Oregon is 15-3 ats in first Pac 10 game of the year. Overall, this game is going to be a shootout. In a shootout, backdoor is always open but really feel in this one that Ducks will win without need of the backdoor as I believe with homefield advantage of Autzen, this game will be played at 10-14 in Trojans favor but no more. I don't think they are live but crazier things have happened. Final Score prediction of USC 49 Oregon 38. BOL and hope we cash on this one.

Kojak...excellent write-up bro...I completely agree...

 

[LucaBrasi]

Kojak - if or when you have the chance, you like Tulane -4. Let me know what you are thinking, as that one stood out to me

 

[Kojak]

Luca Brasi,

Hope things are well. My 2 cents on Tulane. First, Green Wave have owned this series in every way su or ats as they are perfect in both vs SMU since 1992. SMU beat TCU because TCU can't throw the ball. Well, Tulane can and will. SMU struggles to score and will be competitive vs ball control teams who run over 60-70% of the time. Tulane leads with the pass which is what SMU struggles with. Tulane's defense is not that bad either so don't believe they will let a below avg SMU offense get any cheap one's which is what it would take for SMU to stay in this game. Advantage small on homefield in this one. I see Tulane winning this game by 14-17 somewhere around a final of 31-17. BOL.

 

[LucaBrasi]

solid. I'll get down.

Welcome back KOJAK.. I did something stupid and got a little antsy and couldnt wait for football and I played your plays mostly last weekend and lost on sunday but no big deal. I played some baseball games on my own and went like 1-4 and lost back some of the bankroll. I bet the Mets 2 nights in a row and lost by 1 run late in the game. Im thinking of banging out the Marlins tonight thinking no way the Mets can go for the sweep. Whats your opinion on that game? I love Pedro and I think he might have had 2 bad games the whole year for the Mets but the Mets should be shut down by WILLIS. I mean they cant score runs against a low rate pitcher.

Also I like your regular plays on KENTUCKY plus the 22.5, Oregon plus 22, and Northwestern plus 8. One thing about USC and last year which I know last year is last year. They had some close games and didnt cover the lines all the time. If you can give me your thoughts on the Mets/Marlins

 

[Kojak]

Poops,

Get down this afternoon in about an hour and a half on Pads/Rocks over. Only bases play. Like Florida and under. See about no more than 5 runs scored in this one but really LOVE PADS/ROCKS OVER THAT STARTS IN HOUR AND A HALF! bOL

 

[JohnnyB]

Any insight on Wisconsin +3? I go to Wisconsin and will be at the game, so I'd love to see this hit, but I just don't see it happening. You obviously know what you're doing so I'd love to hear your thoughts. FWIW, I'm on every single one of your plays, inlcuding this one. Let's get it done this weekend! BOL.

 

[PoppinTags]

Kojak, I'm new to this site. Been following your plays this season and am very impressed. Looked at your plays and noticed that you had nothing on the USC/ORE over/under. Dont like it, or haven't really looked at it???
I really believe this game goes to 80...

Agree with you Kojak. Oregon hasn't played USC for a couple of years. I'm guessing they'll be pumped for this game and not scared off by the big Trojan shadow. I've been waiting for a team with a good offense to play USC. I'm betting their not bulletproof on defense this season. Oregon will have to play their guts out on D. But I'm betting they'll trade blows and cover here. It's back to conference play and time to play the dogs. GL

batman,
Wisky is underrated and Michigan is overrated imo. Michigan has had too many losses on defense to stop Wisky consistently in this game and love Wisky special teams. Wisky defense has gotten better since first half in BG game and is starting to gel. Michigan is still young at key positions which is the reason for the inconsistency. Think Wisky at home gets a big win su with st, homefield, and coaching being the differnce.

poppintags,

I believe there will be points scored in this game. Reason I have not touched Oregon is believe they will have to limit USC somewhat to cover. Feel this will be shootout and has good chance of going over number but feel chance it may not so not touching right now.

gosooners,
I feel that Oregon may try to use some form of keepaway via running or short passing game of Crowton's offense. They will need to do to USC what Boise did to BG last night

Best of luck everyone.

I hate to be on the other side of this one. You are gonna knock the books around this week I know it. My 2 cents on Oregon. As long as there is no weather involved which there isn't. USC will roll this poor one dimensional team. They have no D, and zero running game. But you got the hook and that my friend is the ticket to this bet.

BOLTA

Do you research & cap any gms yourself?

Not for NCAAF, no. Baseball I do some.

 

[Winning Streak]

Kojak do you really like this game????You know I need it.:lolBIG:

 

[Kojak]

Sorry I did not get back to everyone but have been out at my son's baseball game. Anyway, looks like we are right in both of these so hopefully things continue on right track. BOL

 

[THECLOSER]

like the card kojak...still up in the air on michigan/whisy though

 

[Kojak]

closer,

Wisky is the better coached team and has a big homefield. Michigan definitely has talent but asking a lot to win on road at Wisky in first road game with Henne and company who have the experience from ly of starting on road but never played ly at Wisky which is a different animal. It will be a great game but Wisky will win it with their special teams. BOL.
