Last week I had this sick feeling right before Friday's UW- Stanford game. My whole card was full of public favorites and underdogs. I was definitely going with the herd and as expected, took a bath. Down about 30 units now, and won't be posting as usual.
However, I do have a big one on Oregon this week at -2.5. They get QB Justin Herbert back as their starter, and the difference between him and the freshman QB is vast. The Ducks could not pass on a 3rd down, literally.
* Also, Arizona is long overdue for a letdown, especially with their crummy D- which has been overshadowed by Tate and Co. Oregon's whole team is extremely excited about this game…coming off a bye. They still have a top notch OL and running game, and a defense that is below average, but plays up in certain games. (I think this will be one of those games). Autzen will be loud as usual, and is one of the closest to the field crowds in college football.
* I can't overstate the difference in the passing game here, or that the Duck players coming off the bye and looking to claim a bowl, will play off the crowd and play with extreme enthusiasm.
* Nice RLM here also. DC Jim Leavitt with 2 weeks to prep for Arizona offense.
