Thursday Night College Football Tonight

[Allstar]

SATURDAY 5-1 +36.95 UNITS

Here is tonights selection, let me know what you think. I would love to here both side of this game.

10 Units Miami Ohio -7 +102

These teams have already met during the season on November 4th. Miami of Ohio (11-1 SU & 8-4 ATS) got short touchdown runs from Mike Smith and All-America quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in the third quarter and pulled away for a 33-10 triumph over No. 20 Bowling Green (10-2 SU & 5-4 ATS). QB Roethlisberger completed 19-of-28 passes for 230 yards. Miami averages 42 ppg while giving up just 18 ppg and future-NFL QB Roethlisberger completes 67% of his passes. Against Miami, Bowling Green QB Josh Harris (64% completion rate) was 20-of-30 for 160 yards and a touchdown as the Miami 'D' contained him. But the BG Falcons had their worst scoring and lowest total yardage (344) of the season after outscoring opponents 29-21 for the season. The earlier game says much about the strength of Miami. Bowling Green is at home here and they went 6-0 SU at home, though 1-2 ATS. I expect Bowling Green to put up a fight, but Miami has the better defense, the bigger arm in Big Ben Roethlisberger and will win again!!!

Good luck tonight my friends,

Allstar,

I like your picks, but what is your opinion on the total?

Thanks

Not bad, but I'm kind of leaning the other way. A few things concern me about this game:

1. The condition of the field. I watched BG play Toledo last weekend and the field looked like absolute s**t. Players were slipping all over the place, and it's only been 5 days since that game was played. Unless BG employs Allah, Jesus Christ, or Buddah as their groundskeeper...expect another sloppy game tonight. Roethlisberger won't be quite as slipperly and elusive as he was last time. Whoever runs the ball better will probably win the game.

2. When these two teams played a few weeks ago, it was at M(Oh) and BG had a handful of critical turnovers in that game. They were the kinds of mistakes that I don't think home teams would make. I think the home crowd is going to be revved up tonight and the Falcons will certainly want to play much better than last time.

3. Winning a conference championship is nice, but M(Oh) has already accepted their bowl bid regardless of what happens tonight. The MAC will likely send two teams to bowls anyways, but as of now....BG isn't guaranteed anything (as far as I know). They need this win to guarantee their bowl trip. If the game is close and BG pulls ahead late, Miami will likely pack it in since they know where they're headed. BG won't.

You had a helluva weekend allstar, but I gotta go against you on this one...

God does BG suck. They're making the exact same mistakes they made the last time...turnovers and bad penalties.

Not to take anything away from Miami though. Congrats to all Redhawk bettors...wish I would have listened to you on this one.

packerfan36,

Sorry I didn't replay to your question on the total. I might be luck to lay more then five totals all season, with more of them being in the bowl games. I hope that all is well tonight my friend.
