2 games 2 watch Saturday NCAAF

[Chicken]

Two of the games are screeming at me right now.

MIAMI OH (-3) at Cincinnati

ARKANSAS (+10.5) v Texas

Texas is a fraud, just like any other year, at least when it comes to playing teams that can play some defense.

Still watching....but these seem very strong to me.

Not sure if I buy the fraud comment Chicken. Here's my top 10 reasons why:
1. Year after year this team is at the top of the recruiting list yes,
I said AT not near).
2. They have a never ending funding supply from one of the
largest and most generous alumni group in the nation.
3. Facilities that are the envy of many pro teams.
4. A coach that was hand picked by the right hand of God
himself, DKR.
5. They're pissed off from last years pathetic performance and
more pissed off at the celebration that followed.
6. Hogs have only 3 returning starters, texas only lost 3.
7. Bevo owns the series, he's something like 16-3 in Fayetteville.
8. Hornheads are the top rushing team in the country and their
defense hasn't given up a point all year.
9. On game day, gas stations in the state of Arkansas won't sell
gasoline to anyone with a texas license plate.
10.On another topic in this forum, Kevin said the Hogs will be
slaughtered.

But I will run with you in taking the +10.5, here's a few reasons why:
Texas QB is very young, no pun intended. Going into Reynolds Stadium could be overwhelming for a nationally televised night game.
Hogs will not give them the freedom to run as they did against North Texas. That will force the pass to an extremely inexperienced receiving corp, prompting Young to force things and mistakes will follow.
In daddy Mack's ut tenure, he has yet to beat Nutt. A statement Stoops can't even make.

Go Hogs!

Wow, I thought you were siding with Texas at first. I think we could get more points by game time.

GO HOGS ! ! !

Hey Gl with your picks guys.

I am on the other side of the fence in this game, I went to the game saturday, and the texas defensive line led by wright has probably gained about 40 lbs each, think Casey Hampton plus 4 inches he was taking on 2 or 3 NT O lineman and still getting in the back field better yet he was running the QB down, along with V. Young Matureing and benson playing for a top 5 pick in the draft I say they win by +20.

GL to you too Italian1

It is vey interesting that we have this game handicapped so completely opposite. You think Texas by 20+, and I wouldn't be surprised to see the Hogs win outright. Arkansas Defense the big difference IMHO. No way Texas scores 60+ on these guys.

[Chicken]

I am now hitting 3 games, and watching 3 others real carefully.

I have 2 units each on:

Mississippi +10.5 vs Alabama
Miami OH -3.5 at Cincy
Washington State -2.5 vs Colorado

and I got my eagle eye on:

Boston College +2.5 v Penn St
Arkansas +11 vs Texas
UCLA -1.5 vs Illonois

GL Everyone!
