2-1, 11-11 on the year

Week 9 locks

Miami -3.5 (BC)

TCU -14 (Kansas)

Washington -11.5 (Cal)

Also like CU-24 vs Oreg St

Probably would like the overs on Nebraska but can’t find a line.

Wow, I took a drubbing. Not only did none of these favorites cover the spread, they all got beat outright.

 
I think it would be fun if we experimented with the pros as well.

Halfway through, might carry us onward especially when college is done  :dunno  why not

It was the only O/U line I could find on the game. Got it from my “Score” app.

Oops just as I posted that I checked vegasinsider again and they have 71 and 71.5.

As long as it’s under 100, I feel good about it  :lol:

Well you have two pretty prolific offenses and at least one pretty poor defense, so.....

Normally I’d run from anything over low to mid 60’s but I’m not picturing either team scoring less than 35. And that’s on the low end.

I literally would’ve taken the overs if it was 80. But I was also 0-3 last week  :lol:

 
JJ, it sounds good but keep in mind that it might not be.

Top 5 scoring teams with their W-L record with a combined score (over) 72 points in a game

Alabama 2-6
Houston 5-3
Utah State 5-3
OU 4-4
UCF 2-5

Ohio State is around 7 or 8th scoring (2-6)

I've won that point total once, got burned a different time. 

I'd stay away (71pts) even if it could be close to it or better, in a super shoot-out world.

I agree with you in theory and practice but I just can't see this matchup going any other way than a high scoring shootout. If we had a defense I might feel differently. I have little doubt tOSU will score their share and feel pretty good that we will also. I hope I'm right because if I'm wrong, I don't think it will bode well for NU at all.
