Red Elephant Saturday....

[RedElephants]

Going to watch some live football Saturday so I won't be around but I have an early play and I bought a point and a half because I cannot understand the line. May get screwed but this game is almost like a college team vs a high school team.

North Carolina is a MUCH, MUCH better team than UCONN. They beat them last year 38-12 and this year the UNC defense is even tougher. The top 3 rushers are back from a year ago, and despite TJ Yates having a horrible game they still hammered The Citadel. This is by far the most talented team UNC has had in years. On paper this simply looks like the year that UCONN regresses......the dream is over in my opinion.

I'll drink myself to a stupor if this one loses Saturday. You guys win some cash!!!!!

Adding one more before I leave.....

Toledo throws relentlessly and Colorado better get off the pot and score, it may be too late for Dan Hawkins already. And when I look at UGA/USC......I see ZERO people on the Cocks Offense that I would consider a playmaker. And I do not see UGA starting the season out 0-2. The UGA receivers are the difference in this game.

WR Gurley is def a playmaker on offense. Jarvis Giles at tailback is as well. Saunders is also a stud TE.

As a combination of tailbacks, receivers and TE's, this is easily Spurrier's best group at SC.

Even with that, I see no way UGA loses this at home.

RE, please don't take this the wrong way. This is not a flame but i want some help understanding why you risk 35% more juice on a game you really like. if there is a real advantage here my feeble mind can not grasp it. Am i missing something obvious? Will you explain it?

Great question.....after capping this game......UNC should be favored by at LEAST 7 and closer to 10 in my opinion. The fact that it was 4 scared the crap out of me........and after playing baseball heavy for the 1st time this year.......a minus 145 is middle ground in bases and I have no issue now in football risking it if I feel a line is off and I am worried about it. I am with this one. I don't think it will matter but I'm OK with extra juice getting it under a FG on the road. May be crazy, but so is taking the Yanks -250.....no difference.

Good morning...one more for the Total Fans......wished I had seen this yesterday. It was 43.5. Over 44.5 Stanford at Wake Forest. Wake has a Defense that lost its Top 5 tacklers from last year. A revamped defensive backfield and some inexperience at LB. Stanford on the other hand has a Frosh QB that beat out the Top 2 QB's from a year ago...plenty of depth. The Cardinal scored 23 or more on 9 games last year, and their Defense gave up 23 or more 10 times last year.

The results against Wazzu were deceiving for Stanford. Although they did not give up many points, they gave 349 yards to Wash St. who did not capitalize on drives. Wake Forest on the other hand, turned the ball over 4 times, got behind, and had to scrape end the end to make the game respectable. They are now talking about getting back to smash mouth football. The experience of this team is on the Offense. And their use of misdirection can result in big plays. This year's team cannot rely on their Defense like in the past......at least not early in the year. I look for a hard fought game with some big plays. And I will gladly take 24-21.

Team Total play.......BYU in the Dome after a confidence builder. BYU scored more than 35 points 8 of 12 times last year. Tulsa, a team who had 5 starters back on Offense scored 37 on Green Wave last week. Tulane did not look much better than last year where they gave up more than 35 points seven times. I look for BYU to points the points on this week. 38 should be EASY.
