I notice a lot of people picking OU to win, but in a close game over Tulsa. Most of the scores are less than the point spread. Is Tulsa that good?

they were pretty good


they lost their best reciever to suspension and unless he gets reinstated tomarrow or something chances are they won't have him severly hurting Tulsa's chances.

 

[iowajerms]

a few more that had been suggested to me.

Western Michigan 10 at Michigan 31
Kentucky 28 at Western Kentucky 3
Villanova 10 at Temple 28
Middle Tennessee 21 at Purdue 38
Rice 14 at Texas 34
Troy 0 at Clemson 17

 

[yeodonie]

Look pretty good. Obviously Or/LSU could go either way.

Not sure about Houston over UCLA.

Wouldn't sleep on USF and ND either.

TCU better be careful of Baylor.

Solid picks though

That were what I thought as well. I picked Oregon since Jefferson got suspended. I gave Houston the advantage because of Keenum. I think once TCU learns to stop Griffin, they pull ahead. I will keep up with the Or/LSU some more. That is one that is has a chance to change.

 

[canefangary]

ouch maryland 24-10 over miami

well we shall see, i do think and hope miami puts up more than 10 points, the same qb and offense that up over 500 yards on them will be on the field for miami monday night.

Didn't even think about that. I got all weekend to look into that. That is another that might change.

 

[canefangary]

Didn't even think about that. I got all weekend to look into that. That is another that might change.[/QUO

i was at the game last year and all game i kept waiting for miami to pull away but 100 yards in penalties, a pick 6 called back and two missed extra points but on the flip side it was morris first start and he did pretty well 18-32 250 1 touchdown, he threw a pick six but to win the game he went on a 85 yard drive for the game winning td

I didn't realize Jacory Harris wasn't the starter against them last year. Which, right now, all i have to go by is last year's stats and stuff.

 

[Gatorchip]

With scores, nice.

Didn't you do this last year? I think I remember and Iowa fan nailing a lot of scores.

yes, i started doing the scores because people were like "so what, you should do the scores". Yet, that didn't stop people from criticizing without doing their own. I also didn't keep track of my overall right and wrong, but I will do that this year. I just hope my bowl picks are not deleted like they were last year, but I'm also posting them on ESPN and wordpress, so I will still have them if they are.

 

[WestEndVol]

Damn, no faith in tha Vols?

 

[iowajerms]

Damn, no faith in tha Vols?

That was a hard one, because I don't really know anything about either team. I might be showing way too much love for Montana, but that is one of my predictions that I took a big risk on. Utah as well. I am waiting for a Washington fan to respond.

 

[WestEndVol]

I think we win in like a 35-14 type of game. Our offense should be able to put up some points. I believe Montana is starting a QB who has never taken a snap before and are also replacing an entire O-line. I'm not saying Montana can't pull the upset but if we lose to them, we will be in for a long year.

 

[yeodonie]

Damn, no faith in tha Vols?

Yeah I missed that one TN is going to be better. I think they end up ranked 25 by year's end

 

[olympicoscar]

Don't think Persa is going to play for Northwestern.

 

[iowajerms]

Utah has me rethinking the tennessee prediction. And is Persa now doubtful? Last I saw he was probable.

 

[iowajerms]

Actual scores.

UNLV 17 at Wisconsin 51
Mississippi State 59 at Memphis 14
Wake Forest 29 at Syracuse 36 OT
Montana State 10 at Utah 27
Kentucky 14 at Western Kentucky 3
Villanova 7 at Temple 42

4-2, with the Wisconsin game was 3 points off.

 

[iowajerms]

I am changing one of my picks

I may change predictions up until kickoff.

I changed Montana at Tennessee. I originally had Montana winning 24-21. Now I'm having Tennessee win 31-13. The Montana State-Utah game convinced me.
