BYU-Utah gonna be a great game. Im on BYU +4 (buy a half) -130 will play a little on the ML +155 and will also tease to a high number for parlays because Im a pussy at heart. Love a 5th yr QB vs a 1st year starter who didnt look great against S. Utah last wk. Last Holy War for Taysom Hill, he will be up for this. Glad u mentioned last yrs bowl game. BYU spotted 35 1st qtr points on 2 deflected pick 6s' and runbacks. Utah did squat offensively and was fortunate to escape w/ a win. Not sold on Utahs offense. S. UT was stuffing the run. AZ had a big run late, a couple of passes when the QB broke containment and thats pretty much it. BYU will have the best QB and RB on the field by far.
Was a big player in your away fav ML last wk (Indiana). THX for that!

GL to all

Not nearly the selection that we had last week, but there are a few games of interest. My list:

Louisville-Syracuse on Friday Night...Louisville wants to keep the dream alive. Syracuse just wants to win 6 games and become bowl eligible. Look ahead game for the Cards as they host Florida State next week.

Arkansas-TCU. An important game for TCU and the Big 12. A TCU loss means that it is very possible that the Big 12 Champ has 2 losses or more. Bye-Bye Playoffs. Bielema would love that.

Penn State-Pitt. A game for the traditionalists. I told you it was a slow week.

Va. Tech-Tennessee. This game would have a lot less meaning if it were not being played in Bristol in front of what probably will be the biggest crowd ever for a Football game.

BYU-Utah. Maybe the best game this week. BYU rallied from 35 down to lose 35-28 to Utah last season in the Vegas Bowl. This season BYU is looking to make a statement (paying attention Big 12) and Utah is now the front runner to win the Pac 12 South.

line moved to -15.. even 16 at some books. by game time this game will have lost value.

Kind of an off the radar game, but Im really intersted to see how LSU looks vs Jacksonville State. Jax St isn't a push over for an FCS school...and while I expect LSU to handle the Gamecocks, Id like to see if LSU's offense is conpletely inept at passing or if last week was a bit of a fluke

I think neither is the case for LSU. They have always had a poor passing game. LSU depends on Fournette and the ground game and if they have to go to the air, well you saw what happened last week. That is nothing new for LSU. Their next real test comes in a couple of weeks when they go to Auburn, who played Clemson very tough.
