NCAAF 2012.

Treble let down by half a point in the Wisconsin game.

Wisconsin are going to beat up a lot of teams at home this year like they did last night but lets face it UNLV were no great shakes. Wilson (this years Cam Newton anyone?) wasnt touched last night and had all the time in the world to pull the strings. The worrying thing for Wisconsin was defence. There was times when UNLV did play action and the defence hadnt a clue what was going on and they looked really vunerable to speed on the outside.

Syracuse were brutal in the first half by all accounts and in the end were lucky to get the win. Even luckier to cover the spread as they had a fieldgoal blocked from 33 yards with 2 minutes left.

Western Kentucky are going to be a team to keep onside this year. They are all about defence and they should hopefully be covering a lot of handicaps this season.

Just realised the LSU - Oregon game is played at a neutral venue (Arlington Texas)...would not put anyone off backing Oregon in a high scoring game.

Would agree about the prospects for the Ducks but the decision to start at LSU could blow up in their faces.

Think I'm right in saying that the game was scheduled back when Oregon were just a pretty good Pac-10 team. It might be more accurate to say that it's blown up in LSU's face.

agree history maker, fancy the ducks myself. tough start for LSU

Cheers claimingseven, didn`t realise the LSU QB was suspended.

Liquidty looks absolutly dire for all the matches save the televised ones.

eurosport showed notre dames home games last season, but does not look like they are doing so this year.

What a game between Michigan and Notre Dame...how did the Irish managed to lose that one?
Fantastic entertainment though

What a game the Michigan Vs. Notre Dame was, the crowd and atmosphere was incredible!

Well we know what LSU bring to the table in terms of defence and especially against the run. They did a great job in restricting and forcing turnovers against the high powered Oregon offence and thats a better offence than the one they will face tonight. Miss. State have a good running game and have put up big numbers on the ground but they have been against two bad defences and i just cant see them having success tonight against the fierce LSU defence.

On offence for LSU they are still without their No. one QB who is suspended indefinitely and their star wide reciever who is serving the last game of a three game suspension. Jarrett Lee has done well coming in at QB and has protected the ball well. He only played the first half of last weeks blowout win so he will be fresh for tonights game.

Its a short week for both teams having both played on Saturday. LSU were at home in a blowout win where they were able to give some of their starters a rest in the second half whereas Miss State were in Auburn in a tough loss to an Auburn team that is a shadow of last years team. Its Miss States first home game of the season and the stadium will be rocking tonight. Although LSU played Oregon in Cowboy Stadium it was practically a home game for them with the amount of support they had.

If Jarrett Lee can continue to protect the ball on the LSU offence and keep turnovers to none or a minimum then i think the LSU defence will be strong enough to come out on top and give him good field position to work with. 1.60 is a good price i make this 1.40 to LSU and i can see them covering the 3.5 point spread.

Good Luck.

Cheers ND47. The LSU defence was excellent last night and if it wasnt for some silly penalties in the 3rd quarter they would  have restricted Miss State to 3 points. For fans of defensive football, pencil in 5th of November when LSU travel to Alabama in what could be a winner goes to the Championship game.

Tonights action is Boise State @ Toledo on ESPN at 1am.

Toledo came really close last week to upsetting ranked Ohio State and in the end only lost by 5 points in Ohio State. They are coming off 6 days rest after a tough away game whereas Boise has had 13 days rest after a very impressive win against Georgia in a hostile Atlanta, so playing in Tolede will pose no problems to them.

In Kellen Moore Boise have one of the best QB's in College Football at the moment. Excellent arm and runs the offence excellantly. The Boise defence is very good and returns 7 starters from last year. Boise play with a chip on their shoulder as they are always classed as the little team. They have changed conference this year to try and give themselves a better chance of playing in the National Championship game if they run the table.

Boise went to town last year on Toledo beating them 57-14. It is a better Toledo team they are facing this year but Boise hold all the aces in all the positions. The spread opened up at 17.5 it has moved all week and now stands at 20.5. This Boise team is well rested, well coached and full of talent and should cover 3 touchdowns tonight.

Hopefully the ESPN cameras will pick out Mrs. Kellen Moore in the stands tonight

Good Luck.

Week 3 games on TV.

ESPN America
2pm College Gameday Live From Talahassee
5pm Auburn @ Clemson
8.30pm Tennessee @ Florida
1am Oklahoma @ Florida State
4.30am Stanford @ Arizona

Not a fan of backing big spreads... So often teams will put 28 points or so up by H/T only to take the foot off in the 2nd half.

North Texas are pony though.

Fancy Arkansas to cover myself buy should be a good game

Two for the late games.

Oregon -15.5

Oregon have been racking up the points since the opening day loss to LSU and tonight they come up against an Arizona team who gave up 37 points and 567 yards to Andrew Luck and Stanford and 594 yards and 37 points to Oklahoma State in the last two weeks. Arizona are a very poor running team but very good through the air. Oregon should be able to put a high score up on offence and hopefully have a few interceptions on defence.

Boise State -27.5

The line in this has moved down from 33.5 to 27.5. Boise State have absolute zero confidence in their field goal kicker so they will be going for it on 4th down anytime they are at the 20-35 yard line. If Kellen Moore has a good night and they convert some of those then they will hammer Tulsa. Kellen Moore had a great game last week against Toledo and picked them apart at will. I thought the Boise defence would have benefited from the extended rest between games but they looked very slow starting off last week and hopefully that game has taken the rust off.

Good Luck.
