My College Football GOY Goes This Saturday.

[Journeyman]

I don`t like to hype any of my plays but I will,lol....

Miami Hurricanes +7 are you kiding me..Yes Gore is down , yes its at FSU...

What would this line have been prior to the injury?

Miami wins this game...This is not any team we`re talking about! Don`t let the snoozer against WVU fool anyone....

Canes +7, are you kidding me!

Miami GOY ....( geesh I hate saying GOY)

 

[bhg]

I agree completely - think it'll go 7.5 on Saturday?

 

[jwunderdog]

I like Miami as well but the GOY curse is a very strong trend. I might as well mark it down as a loser now.

 

[drunkguy]

actually think the line will go to 6.5 with all the square money on Miami pouring in this weekend. I've been holding looking for 6.5. I have no faith in Berlin whatsoever. Without Gore and on the road, I think this will be a tough game for the canes.

 

[Journeyman]

I thought about that too...Stating GOY is a bit much, especially for me because I don`t like to sway anyone on any game...

This line is a joke! Anything can happen and I`m sure I will take some heat for putting the big GOY up....This is like stealing...

FSU has shown nothing , RIX is a mistake waiting to happen never played well in big games....FSU has not proven they are the old FSU at all...Miami will make adjustments at runningback, they can throw the ball, I don`t know why they came out in the 2nd half last week running so much....

Miami wins this game...No way FSU blows out the Canes!

"Miami wins this game...No way FSU blows out the Canes"

I can't agree with that, Fla St could blow them out and vice-versa. I would love to know how anyone can tell if either of these teams are for real?Each has played one team with a winning record. Record of teams Miami has played 8-17, record of teams Fla St has played 9-16. I keep seeing people touting Fla St rushing game,they gain less per game on the ground and less per rush on the ground then Miami. I am just saying I don't know who is better and I don't know how anyone else does either? Because of that I will take the points. GL

7 points to the #2 team is way to many points I will take the points.

This is exactly why I stay away from games like these. They have a history of having the game decided by a field goal or a turnover, or a bad penalty late in the game, etc. I like to find games that I think are way off the line that I think they should be.

fla st`s offensive backfield has been injured for most of the year....now,for basically the first time,greg jones,lorenzo booker and leon washington are all healthy and well rested...probably the most prolific inside/outside combo in the ncaa....washington and booker have been held out quite a bit and jones has been getting around 8-10 carries a game.....getting healthy for this game...and i believe craphoso ellis(the crapper)can be as devastating as winslow....both qb`s can be inconsistent...

fla st has to take winslow away....payton is not an extrordinary back....not even close to being what gore was...

as far as what`s the public play,from what i`ve seen,the books have done an excellent job lining this one....don`t see a disproportionate percentage on fla st,as some might want to think(w....line has it around 53-47%).....

i think considering all the advantages,it might just be time forthe law of averages to catch up with the canes....

neither team has faced top notch competition...and both have had brainfarts....(fl st-geo tech....miami-fla and west va)....

.the miami defense can be had,but they,along with the special teams, tend to make big plays...scoring plays...

a toughie....the books are very sharp...

I would like to know how Miami is ranked #2 they really looked bad against W VA. If they are #2 Ohio St. should be #1. If They are only as good as they looked in that game, they should be getting 10 points.

I am a Gator Fan and hate both Miami and the Noles equally. In my objective opinion, FSU rolls and covers. Miami has shown nothing yet this year. They are #2 based on legacy and history. If LSU had the history behind their program that Miami does, LSU would be #2 right now. Rankings mean nothing at this point. Miami sucks on the road and Berlin is way overrated. They are going to need more than a 4-13 circus catch to bail them out here. All of Miami's confrence rivalry's are in the BIG LEAST where the road atmosphere is nothing compared to Dork Campbell in Tally. Either take FSU or lay off cause Miami is going to have problems Sat. morning.

that is called a "look ahead" situation. the canes looked past WVA to FSU this week. 100% agree - miami +7 looks too good to pass up. this ply might lose - but it is something i just can't pass up.

 

[pops69]

journeyman, if you like this game so much post it in the RX College Pick of the week thread. good luck

 

[EagleSports]

FSU is all around better. The canes have yet to look dominant and that impressive all year. FSU wins this game easily.

 

[jwunderdog]

"Miami sucks on the road", how many times have they lost on the road in the last 3 years? Another post with little fact to back it.

 

[EagleSports]

Washington and Booker back for FSU

Miami squeaked by West Virginia, very unimpressive against East Carolina (come on) and was getting manhandled by a terrible Florida team. Tons of weakness on this Miami team, they arent the #2 team in the country and will be exposed Saturday.

 

[RexFoster]

FYI


Line will be FSU -8 at game time. If you like 'canes, wait!


GOOD LUCK!
Rex

 

[novacats]

for anyone on the proverbial fence for this game, I'd like to let everyone know that Phil Steele and Northcoast have FSU -7 as their 4 star pick in PowerSweep this week....

hope this helps.

pound Miami!!!!

 

[Journeyman]

This is exactly why I don`t post picks weekly...

Miami against WVU? Please I`ll give you that, WVU did hang in but bhow many times do we see it, looking ahead...it always happens , not to mention WVU has played Miami tough....

Miami not a good road team? LMAO WHAT? This isn`t exactly flying out to UCLA either , this is a heated rivalry game, close game, lots of swings , turnovers usually play a part...But to give a team that has won 37 straight games 7-8 points...I have to grab it...FSU hasn't looked like FSU in 3 years...

I just don`t see either team running away in this one...FSU hasn't shown they are capable of crushing teams the last 3 years and this is MIAMI...I see a 31-28 game...

 

[EagleSports]

FSU hasn't looked like FSU in 3 years...???

at North Carolina W 37-0
vs Maryland W 35-10
vs Georgia Tech W 14-13
vs Colorado W 47-7
at Duke W 56-7

ummmm, 1 close game.....?? Guess thats not the old FSU.
