Miami/Oklahoma game thoughts?

**SilversunPickups** · 09-29-09, 08:40 AM

They might be waiting to see if Bradford will be playing or not because I read there is a slight possibility he could play. The other places has Miami +6.5 right now. I would definitely take Miami at home with the points. And if Bradford is playing, I'm sure Miami will get a few more points at home.

**Mac4Lyfe** · 09-29-09, 10:42 AM

I like Miami in this one. OU's offensive line is going to get creamed in this one unless it rains. Miami and FSU are notoriously bad teams in the rain. Fast athletes but not very shifty.

....

Oklahoma has a good defense, what happened to Miami last week when they went against a good, solid defense??

Great point. VaTech killed them with defense. OU has a much better defense.

**Team Ramrod** · 09-29-09, 12:23 PM

VTech also ran for 200 plus so if OU can continue good line play that will be a factor

**Team Ramrod** · 09-29-09, 12:26 PM

and if bradford is a go then i think the line will be +10.

**big0mar** · 09-29-09, 02:57 PM

VTs D didn't shut down UM, the rain shut them down.

What I would monitor is the health of Marcus Forston.

**Mac4Lyfe** · 09-29-09, 03:03 PM

Oklahoma's defense is not as good as Va Techs...

I really like Miami if Bradford plays. He will definitely be rusty if he comes back.

**Team Ramrod** · 09-29-09, 05:37 PM

Mac I will take OU -6.5 for 100 SBR points.

**REDL1NE** · 09-29-09, 06:35 PM

I'll take OU-6.5 as well for 60 points

**sweetjones55** · 09-29-09, 07:03 PM

UM is a pass first offense, VT is a run first offense. The rain just heavliy favored VT in this game. UM also has much better team speed than VT all around and the terrible field negated that advantage. Look for Jacory Harris to bounce back in a big way at home against OU. Don't you forget that OU lost to BYU 14-13. Miami's defense is just as good if not better than BYU's.

**VenomLugz** · 09-29-09, 07:18 PM

lol OU will beat them!

Dont forget also that OU lost their biggest playmaker and centerpiece and had an unprepared backup and STILL only lost by one.

A loss by one to a team (BYU) that got absolutely dismantled by FSU who lost to UM @ home, barelllyyy beat Jacksonville State @ home, and lost to USF @ home. BYU is not a very good team.

I don't know if UM will win this game but I do not think that UM will lose by 10 or more points. Line is currently UM +7.5 UM needs this win to get back on the map.

**Crispybear** · 09-30-09, 02:22 AM

Another thing to consider is that this is OU's 1st road game and a night game against the U will be tough. I think OU can win, but the U covers.

**pags11** · 09-30-09, 02:44 AM

should be a great game either way...

That a way Mac...don't go giving all my points away just yet.

I like Criami but not that much...

**Team Ramrod** · 10-02-09, 08:27 PM

Its at 7 right now. I will do it at OU -7 for 50 SBR points mac.

**platon20** · 10-02-09, 09:45 PM

I will bet 6 points on Miami +7. I'd bet everything I have on that line. OU does not play well on OOC games on the road.

I'll take OU and give you 7.5 For 20 pts?

Sure thing. I'm in. I'll take OU and -7.5 for 50.

**Dbldown11** · 10-02-09, 10:29 PM

I'm liking OK -7.5....their defense is just too much. And their offense will put up points against this Miami team.

I really think that Miami is a quality football team, but I do think Oklahoma controls the lines and wins this game by 14.

I mean if you look at it squeaked by a mediocre Fl. St. team beat up on a pretty good Ga. Tech team at home...and got destroyed @ Va. Tech. All in all a fairly tough schedule, but didnt make out too great with it. Whereas Oklahoma got beat in week one (cause after Bradford went out they were lost) and destroyed their next two opponents...Granted they werent the best but their defense shut out both those teams. And Tulsa has a pretty decent offense. Oklahoma has given up 14 points in 3 games. They take this easy in my eyes. There is a reason why the line hasnt gone anywhere even though Bradford won't be playing

**Dbldown11** · 10-02-09, 10:47 PM

the problem is redline you only have 36 points how can you wager 50?

**Dbldown11** · 10-02-09, 10:48 PM

Too many points for a Miami team that is sporatic, undisciplined and inconsistent. I'll bet you 20 points but that's about all total I can risk on that team.
