Kojak's College Selections for Wk Ending 10/16 (ytd 101-68-1)

[Kojak]

This week I actually really like the card and will have more Killer Plays than normal. Last week went 9-7 but looking for a week similar to two weeks ago when I went 34-16.

Kojak Killers:

Boston College -8.5 - This line is way off. BC is the superior team in all phases of the game. Pittsburgh simply is terrible on offense and will struggle to keep this game close for even a half.
Boston College 31 Pittsburgh 13

Ohio State -1 - Buckeyes are too good to lose three games in a row even on the road at Iowa. Defense and special teams will rule on the road.
Ohio State 27 Iowa 17

Minnesota -8.5 - Gophers will be angry and upset after let down against Wolves and will be looking to take it out on out manned Spartans.
Minnesota 45 Michigan St. 21

Arizona State +11.5 - USC had planned for Bears but not enough for Devils. ASU is better than people know and Walter will have big game and pull upset to get into the Heisman race.
Arizona State 31 USC 27

Kansas State +20- People are down on K State but they still are a better than average team and especially at home. They always play Sooners tough and I expect the little ball of fire Sproles to have a big game. OU wins but barely in Manhattan.
Oklahoma 38 Kansas State 34

Boise St. -19 - Are you kidding me? Tulsa has not scored more than 16 in a game all year. Boise averages in the high 40.s . Tulsa plays no defense. Broncos romp over Tulsa here as spread should be about 40.
Boise St. 63 Tulsa 14

UTEP -3 - Price has his team playing very well. Hawaii is very overrated though they have won last two big at home and by the way made me money. Bows gets scalped in El Paso in this one.
UTEP 44 Hawaii 21

Missouri +14.5 - Tigers are playing very well in all phases of the game. Texas on low after annual loss to OU. Tigers have a lot to play for as in drivers seat for Big 12 North. Longhorns may not finish even in top 3 with the way Tech,Am, OU, and Ok St playing. I like Missouri to make a huge statement here and beat a flat Longhorns team.
Missouri 27 Texas 21

Normal Plays:

West Virginia -6
Miami -9.5
Illinois +19
Duke +21
Vanderbilt +23.5
Memphis -23
Arizona +11.5
Bowling Green -24.5
SMU +10
UCLA +14.5
Stanford +2.5
South Florida -16
North Carolina +19
Clemson -22
Purdue -6

I know it is a ton of games but I really like the card this week and even left a few off that may play by end of the week . Best of luck.

[Kojak]

Bernie,

How many did they score in Big 12 Championship game last year? I believe it was in the 30's and that defense was stronger imo. gl

Fyi Unc

This is proof that they'll be celebrating their last win all week not paying attention to Utah. I'd stay of it either way or lean to Utah.

Ron,

Thanks as I am now off of North Carolina and definitely will play Utah due to your help and others. Thanks.

 

[Kojak]

Adding....

UAB -6

Subtracting...

North Carolina and switching to Utah

Kojak, I like K-State to cover, but IMO you are WAY too high on the total. 31-17 is more like it. K-State will not score 34 on OU's defense. And OU is not scoring 50+ per game like they were a year ago. Did you see the Red River Shootout, 12-0? The under in that game was my play of the week. GL

 

[TigerBait]

I hate to burst your bubble, but

Oklahoma will murder KSU this weekend. This is not the same KSU team as last year. For Starters KSU lost El Roberson at QB who was a big threat to run and throw.

KSU just got beat by KANSAS!!! So, What do you think Oklahoma will do to them with the Revenge factor?:toothless

Do you always bet the entire board? Why do you spread yourself so thin?

 

[ElIguana]

Not so fast, Tigerbait! OU has played 5 games at home and 1 on the road. Of their 5 games at home, they have only won by more than 20 points twice--the struggling Oregon and then pathetic Houston. In their big road game last week, they amassed an incredible 12 points on Texas. This is not the same OU team that scored 50+ week after week. They have a better run game and control the ball more.

Now for K-State. For disciplinary reasons, QB Dylan Meier sat out the entire first half vs. KU. Darren Sproles (looking more and more like Ahman Green) fumbles a punt return inside his own 30, and K-State still has a chance to win late in the game. But you are right--this is not the same K-State team we saw a year ago.

OU has the revenge factor, and K-State has looked like crap this year. But I will seriously consider any home dog getting 20+ points in a nationally televised game. Manhattan Kansas is still a tough place to come in and win. Fresno State did it well in the 2nd game of the year, but the Cats have played some better competition and improved since then. GL

 

[Kojak]

tigerbait,

My record speaks for itself so enough said on why I play a lot of games. If I chose 5 a week, I believe I would be as good as anybody on here. By the way, the best handicapper in the world Billy Walters, plays several games so if you are right why is he not following you. My advice is not to have a number of games you say you will play every week but simply play the games that should be played. If that is one game, so be it. If it is 20, then it is 20. Gl

El Iguana,

OU has also lost a lot on defense. Everybody is talking revenge and usually revenge goes down the crapper. Most important angle on this game is that K State's season is on the line. That is a greater factor than OU revenge factor. I truly believe K State could win this game if they can avoid turnovers and contain the freshman. Expect Sproles to have big game. Best of luck.

 

[ElIguana]

I agree, Kojak. I had written K-State off for the season until they battled in College Station and could have won the game despite handing the Aggies 21 points.

21 points is just a LOT to give any decent team in their own stadium. Would love to see the upset, but will be happy with a cover. GL

[Kojak]

Identity,

[Kojak]

Great night as West Virginia covers to start week in college on the right track. Also now 7-0 in baseball as had both sides and totals for tonights games for perfect 5-0 on the day!!!!!!!!!!

 

[BIGWave]

Great night Kojak......:aktion033
saw the plays in baseball also..........
way to go......:howdy:

 

[luigi]

Congrats, but doesn't that sounds a bit over eager.... boths sides and both totals? Impossible that there was value in all four coners. Looks like it's gamble time!! lol

 

[UT-Longhorn]

good luck

 

[Co-Captain]

UTEP -3 - Price has his team playing very well. Hawaii is very overrated though they have won last two big at home and by the way made me money. Bows gets scalped in El Paso in this one.
UTEP 44 Hawaii 21

Oh no my friend...you jumping ship I see this week....For me, I have been waiting for what seems like forever for the Warriors(not Bows btw, please stop forgetting this..:neenee: lol.) to be an underdog to a team who I feel is not ready just yet to receive the praises they have been receiving...and that team to me is UTEP right now...I havent rated my play on this one yet, but you can be sure I will have a lot of information for everyone on it...Be aware of the hangover effect for Utep, as Fresno St was picked by many to win the WAC this year, and was ranked at one point, etc...Also, UTEP did catch Fresno off getting their bubble busted by LA Tech, so the situations totally benefitted a motivated Utep team that was surely facing a Fresno team that was emotionally out of it, at the same time surely wasnt taking this Utep team serious at all...Hawaii got its two wake up calls in their first two losses, so dont expect them to be taking anyone for granted the rest of the way...Anyways, I wanted to ask you how you got that predicted score..just curious...Good luck and we can talk more later on this one.....I am a total Homer, yah...LOL.:heh: ...but ,cant complain, as I am still making money following my team, the Rainbows..oops...I mean Da WARRIORS! .....LOL....Aloha CC.

co captain,

I have been on Hawaii the last two weeks and won but I really like what Price has done the last month at UTEP. Played great game with Boise, smoked, NMST, and upset Fresno St. on the road. Hawaii was unimpressive in their only 2 road games while beating up on the two of the worst teams in the entire nation in Tulsa and Nevada. I simply feel this Hawaii team is not as good as what June has had in the past few years and actually will struggle to make a bowl game this year as I still see several pitfalls remaining on the schedule. My points may be a little zealous but do feel Hawaii scores some points in this one but their defense will be exposed by a increasingly hot team. Best of luck!
