Miami/California - Emerald Bowl - OFFICIAL IN-GAME THREAD

[_MisterMoney_]

My play for this game is Miami +11. Putting 5 units on it. If FSU covers and the game stays under I will be up 23 units on Bowl Games for today. That would be awesome. I think Cal definitely has an edge here. But not 11 points. Spread started at -7. People jumped on Cal when they learned Miami is starting their second string quarterback. However he is better than the first. I see this as a positive. Same number of touchdowns, 9 less INTS, better completion rate, more YPA. Nuff said. Its all up to Miami and their gameplan to stop RB Best of Cal. GL

If he's a 2nd string QB , how is he better than the 1st stringer

do you know more than the coach does?
theres a reason hes not the starter

however GL with your play

[Cougar Bait]

I like how you titled this the "OFFICIAL IN-GAME" thread. Good luck stopping some douchebag from starting another one 5 minutes after the game starts.

[_MisterMoney_]

Yeah I titled it official so we could all go to one thread and see everybody's picks for the game and see a better update of the game.

And in response to mmike032. Robert Marve the first stringer is suspended for his grades. The true freshman Jacory Harris has played sparingly since he it takes awhile for a quarterback to learn the plays and adjust to the college level. Robert Marve has not performed well this season. Had 116 completions with 213 attempts for a completion percentage of 54.5%. He has 9 touchdowns on the year and 13 interceptions. An average of 6.1 yards per attempt. The true freshman who has learned more as the season progressed has been inserted into the line-up when Marve has looked bad (which is a lot). Harris has 81 completions with 133 attempts for a completion percentage of 60.9%. He has 9 touchdowns on the year and 4 interceptions. An average of 6.5 yards per attempt. And Jacory Harris barely played in the beginning of the season. He has been playing against the brute of the schedule and performed better than the first stringer. He has not started yet so I'm not saying he is a lock that he is better than Marve. But over the last part of the schedule after Jacory has learned more of the playbook he has been coming into the games that Marve starts and plays bad in. And Harris has outperformed Marve in these games.

I havent bet the game yet, I liked Cal at about -8 or 9 but 10 I think is to much.
However I cant bet that miami defense is gonna stop Cal either. I may just watch this one

-3 teaser would suit me but not sure about the total either. leaning the under though

you might want to give credit to the author of your( I mean Randizzles) right ups

[L2Gunz]

[Sp0rt4Fun]

4th & 2....drop ball ...still alive

[_MisterMoney_]

yeah SportNut don't try to use someone elses plays as your own. If you are trying to contribute then give credit where credit is due and cite that you got that from Randizzle

[guru-t]

ur under is done

CMON man!No time for that shit.Don't you think I know what position I'm in?A little support would be better!

[_MisterMoney_]

I am speechless right now.

[roasthawg]

I got Cal -8 in this one.

[Jones10]

Rollin wit Cal -8 tn

[_MisterMoney_]

I'm upgrading my pick to a 5*. Cal's RB rushing numbers for the season are very inflated. More than a third of his total yards came in 2 games. The 2 worst rushing defenses in the PAC-10.

[icsky3]

Miami's defense hasn't been the same as of late and with the 2nd string QB (who is decent) and cal being 2nd or 3rd in nation in picks....... hmmmmm i have a HUGE play on cal -10... and the over =)

[_MisterMoney_]

well if it really is a HUGE play icksy3 then hopefully we both win. How about a 30-20 Cal win? Sounds good.

[Husker36]

I have Cal as a HUGE play. Really need this one tonight!

[icsky3]

nooo the over is 51 mate lol how about 35-20 BOL to you though... ah **starting punt snapper out as well**

[_MisterMoney_]

You mean 35-25 tho right?

[L2Gunz]

Cal -10

GL.....

[Kronc]

Lets Go MIAMI!!!!

[mmike032]

I'm upgrading my pick to a 5*. Cal's RB rushing numbers for the season are very inflated. More than a third of his total yards came in 2 games. The 2 worst rushing defenses in the PAC-10.

Miami has the worst defense in the ACC if I read correctly

[_MisterMoney_]

Both teams start out 3 and out.
