NCAAF: 4 Power Plays For Saturday

**riggs** · 12-06-08, 09:37 AM

***Pittsburgh +120 (ML)

This game will feature Defense and a whole lot of running, although Pitt has ran the ball much better than UConn as of late. Pittsburgh also has a much better passing attack and better special teams than do the Huskies. Pittsburgh is looking to win their ninth game this season, for the first time in over 25 years. Connecticut has gone 2-4 in its last six games. Pittsburgh has won four of its last six games, including West Virginia. UConn's strength won't be that strong today because Pitt has one of the better rush defenses in the Big East. UConn will be short handed at RB today too. They'll be with out Andre Dixon, whose been charged with drunk driving and suspended from the team. I like Pitt +120 (ML) in this one!

***Boston College -1, BC and VTech are two teams built on defense, we all know this, but (IMO) BC's defense is better. These guys play like animals out there, they punish everyone on nearly every play, there are no easy yards vs. Boston College. BC with or without Crane has a much better offense than VTech, I know that's not saying much, but they are better! BC by 4-7 points in this one.

Score Prediction: 19-13

**West Virginia -7, South Florida is a mediocre team at home, down in cozy Florida. On the road vs. West Virgina, a good home team, in December? This one is too easy! West Virgina wins BIG!

Score Prediction: 31-13

**Florida -9.5, John Parker Wilson vs. Timmy T, WHO'S YOUR PICK? Alabama has a great O-Line and solid players on defense, but it won't be enough today. Florida is the best team in the country and Timmy T's been on a mission since the Ole Miss game. I really feel confident about this one!

Score Prediction: 37-20

GL Riggs. I feel pretty confident about Florida too. Still undecided on BC though.

What's the concern, are you leaning V-Tech?

V-Tech is really going need to get some big breaks in this game to win this one! I always hated V-Tech, so I may be a little bias here. We'll see what happens.

I'm want to take BC but I don't know anything about the redshirt freshman at QB. I was at the VaTech game last week in Blacksburg, everyone there was complaining about how they hate the offensive coordinator. I could see why, horrible play calling, turnovers, if Tyrod didn't have that 70yd run I don't they would have beat UVA. Their defense is pretty good though, not as good as BC, but still tough. If I had been able to watch the MD/BC game last week, I'd be a little more confident with BC.

Looking into the last game between these two. BC had 5 turnovers, two of those were pick 6's. VaTech didn't score an offensive touchdown that whole game. I'm with you on BC.

They're not going to ask the young man to do all that much today.

#1 Protect the ball
#2 He'll be throwing shorter/higher percentage passes
#3 BC's O-Line is pretty dam good
#4 This game will be won at the line on both sides of the ball.

Dominique Davis is 31-59 for 288 yds. with 3 TDs and 0 INTs. His QB rating is 110.3 so far. He can also scramble and get out of the pocket. GL to what ever you play. I've been on BC all week, so I am counting on it cashing.

If BC can establish the run with Harris, the Hokies are in for a long day.

Pittsburgh gave me a nice start. I never should have bet on a black freshman QB. This guy's f***** bad. I'll learn my lesson someday!
