Seems like the right side to me Naj(if there is one in this game). I'm surprised you missed the 10 though.

[MicroBob]

Yeah, that's pretty much my thinking.

ND did actually put up something that vaguely resembled a battle against a pretty good Penn State team. Michigan doesn't even seem to be close and they're in a much worse state of disarray and crappy morale.
I think Weiss still has his team reasonably positive whereas it's my suspicion that Carr may have lost a lot of respect in that disasterous situation there.


For some reason I guess the people are buying into the idea that Notre Dame is absolutely awful. I really don't think they are quite as tragically bad as some seem to think.

Also for some reason people seem to think that Michigan still has something. And I really can't begin to figure out why after watching their defense.
Decent losses on the road to quality teams would be one thing. But they are losing at home and looking horrible doing it.

I'm all over ND on this one and can't imagine why anyone would want to take Michigan at -8 much less -10.
It just doesn't make sense to me.

FTR, I do think Michigan has more talent and is the better of the two teams. However, there's no way they should be getting more than a TD at home. If I were to make a prediction, it would be something like Michigan 31-26.

Seems like a solid reason to take the points.

i thought Henne would play and the line would stay at 10 or higher, obvs. 9 doesn't really come into play anyway...10 could of course.

edit: got down at 9.5 at sia. Eff it, I'm unleashing the Dragon!

+280 or better ml looks tasty as well at this point. Had a small nugget on the Oregon ml last week and may try again.

You agreed with me again.

[DontRaisePlz]

the NFL wong teaser thread last year made me wonder: does anyone go for wong teasers in college? if not, why?

I had teased Texas and Minnesota, as well as Nebraska and Auburn (ugh). Crossed the 7 and 3.

[iggymcfly]

More variance/scoring in college games due to less knowledge about the teams and a shorter play clock. If you could find games that crossed the 7 and 3 with totals of 40 or below between Top 40 teams, they'd probably work fine though.

[MyTurn2Raise]

I don't care how good the defenses ND faced are...they still have negative rushing yards after two games. You'll have to make it pretty damn amazing for me to bet on a team with that

[SeanyBullets]

TCU -8 looks like a very strong play this week, or am I missing something?
