Air Force vs HOUSTwin **--official game thread

[PeachDog]

ok here we go, big game. I'm laying $350 on 1st half houston -1.5 and $740 -3 houston


-------------- interesting facts about this game---------

AIR FORCE passed for 0 yards in their last game against Houston. WOW!!!

AIR FORCE leading rusher is ruled OUT for this mornings game.

HOUSTON has the #1 passing attack in NCAA Football.
(watch this big playmaking WR for houston, this guy is something else. Donnie Avery was good but this guy is just incredible)




my prediction

HOUSTON 30
AIR FORCE 20 maybe 23

i'm with you on houston.... its my fav pick today...everyone thinks because AF beat them in the begining of the year , that will make a difference....highly doubt it. Nothings a guarantee (except death and taxes) but this one smells good to me.....GL

The biggest thing with this game is we need a 10 point lead early then this running game wont work for them and they will HAVE to pass....i bet in the begining they try some passes to mix it up them revert to the run all together....alot has to go wrong for AF to make this happen

27-14 houston

I like this one a lot. I have Hou -1.5 first half and in a teaser as well at +2. I am looking at the total though and think its a bit high. I have this game nowhere near 67. The fact that it went to 59 in hurricane weather worries me a little though. May just stay away. What do you guys think?

[Kingctb27]

Love H town as well.

BOL to all.

[GODFATHER]

Hi Peach!!

Nice call, I'm all over Houston 1ST half and for the spread

[SexyMit]

Go coogs!!

[IrishGuy82]

Just dropped to 66, I am going to pull the trigger now before I lose any more ground. Im thinking final will be somewhere between 51-59.

[Rixsaw]

Air Force +4

[Slate]

Houston - 3 1/2

[PeachDog]

FUMBLE get the ball get the ball, get it get it.

got it.

[PeachDog]

my luck the #1 offence in the country will have troubles passing for a first down untill the 3rd qtr.

[dlew2k]

already?

[scaryDE]

i have houston -4, -2.5 1H, U32 1H

slow down on the scoring at least till the 3rd quarter..hehe

[scaryDE]

this game is so going over by the look of it.. dam.

[Msquad]

Changed my miond last minute, I got AF +4. I Like what Im seeing

[PeachDog]

well air force just scored, and they marched down quite easily!!!!! Sumlin better have done some coaching, cause it's not that hard to see what they need to do.

[PeachDog]

The way that I see it, is that AIR FORCE isn't really a good team, but Houston isn't really a good team also. I haven't seen much of Houston this season, but from what I knew and know now, is that this is a offensive driven team in many, many, many ways.

If Houston gets stopped once today, Air Force can use that and score themselves, and take control.

THAT WORRIES ME!


But Air Force can't seem to get a balance offensive attack and that would worry me if i was on Air Force. They can run the ball, and run the ball WELL. But if Houston can somehow learn how to get their coaches to get a proper system in place there is no way Air Force can win.


It will come down to if Houston can stop the run, and Houston not getting into troubles on the offensive side of the ball. No 3 and outs, no 2nd down penalties to go long yardage.

i'm with you on houston.... its my fav pick today...everyone thinks because AF beat them in the begining of the year , that will make a difference....highly doubt it.

Airforce won.... but it was in the middle of HURRICANE IKE! Hard to pass with winds and rain!

GO HOUSTON!

So I just turned the game on..... what the heck is all this scoring about?? This shoud get crazy!

[dolce05]

if we keep trading TD's we just need to make sure we are up 1 by half....then we start with the ball the second half......Go Houston!!.....Hopefully houstons D was having the bowl jidders now they are ready to play......we'll see

[IrishGuy82]

Slugfest. Neither team can seem to stop the strength of the other. Under is not looking so hot anymore.

[PeachDog]

Remember last bowl season? AIR FORCE and CAL i think it was. Air Force was tearing it up, then Cal learned to stop the run all of a suden and Air Force had nothing. The defence got tired, and Cal receivers were getting 10 yard barrel at the line, and still finding open space.

This tell me Air Force doesn't have the ability to play full 4 quarters! but that was last season. We will see if Air Force football program is going in a positive direction.

[dolce05]

least hickups win...weather looks nice there....freakin sleat n rain here.....more the reason to stay in and watch football....ok you twisted my arm...i'll watch all the games.....GL Houston backers

[Husker36]

Well Houston has already seen the triple option this year....so you would think they have SOME kind of game plan

[dolce05]

peach how many returning staters for for AF...because if thats the case....Houston 2nd half large... this is one of those games where to make a second half play you really have to watch the first half well

[dolce05]

they beat navy...right?

[PeachDog]

Houstn DL are undersized for their own system. what is Sumlin thinking? i know he is new and most of them aren't his players, but with the NT overlapping the strongside OG, and not allowing his back end LB to play his DRAW LANE, is not good, because they are playing to be fast, and they just aren't. Or more so they are playing to be fast in a big size system.

Air Force just needs to run the ball the way they do and no way they can get stopped.

[dolce05]

snuffed em.....AF punting ...nice set for Houston D and a good...they wont go for it

[scaryDE]

someone remind me never to do over under bettings....
thats where i screw things up usually.

[PeachDog]

dolce, they didn't play NAVY.

They played Rice and lost bad, because Rice out coached them. It was a massacre, and I had RICE ML, i made -$830 that game. I think it was on thanksgiving week.

Houston has to have control and contain the ball the way they are set up for. Fasta paced watch the play clock and get their WR's up in their matchups fast.

[IrishGuy82]

Nice stop and great field position!

[dolce05]

figures i open my mouth and they go for it....wont be doing that anymore...thank god they stopped it....nice D again for Houston...peach no worries....AF is coaching themselves out of this game

[Husker36]

Nice punt..... jackasss

[Husker36]

Fumble!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Husker36]

Looking good now!!

[PeachDog]

SCARY! listen to me. NEVER EVER DO TOTALS.

Totals is one of the stupidest moves a so called gambler can do. I can't believe how many people bet totals that do this hardcore.

If people bet totals to be a serious gambler, they have no business gambling.
