Just learned that BG quarterback Omar Jacobs is expected to play tonight. He had a seperation of his non-throwing shoulder and has been out the past 3 games, during which BG has struggled to score. I think Miami wins this even if Peyton Manning was under center for BG, but Omar is supposed to play, FYI.

Thanks for the info Shawn.Comment -
Thanks for the inside info. I think Bowling Green is worth a moneyline play with Jacobs playing. Their only losses with Jacobs were at Wisconsin (in that game I think they were only 3 point underdogs) and at Boise St, another tough place to play. Emotional lift for BG if he indeed plays.Comment -
anyone know why the total is going down so sharply...this morning it was 59 now it's 54.5 I thought this was a result of Jacobs not playing but I just saw this post by Shawn.
What's going on here...is the over worth a look?Comment -
I got under 60.5 lastnite.
Not sure why the line is dropping.. Weather a factor??? I'm gonna look.Comment -
I for one know what a shoulder separation feels like. Let me tell you that you don't recover from it in 2 weeks.
The assumption is made out there that even if Jacobs plays, he will not be 100% functional.Comment -
2-6 inches of snow with very windy conditions can be expected tonight.APPLEComment -
A good rule of thumb: Don't bet against such significant abrupt line movement. The only play now is the under.Originally posted by BuddyBear
As for the shoulder separation, as a physician, I know that the recovery time is very variable depending on the severity of the injury. The term "shoulder separation" is often used as a very general injury classification. Many athletes are able to return within 2 to 3 weeks, some take months. He is a big time athlete, probable NFL player. If he is not ready then he won't play. If he does, I think that tips the scale quite a bit since the line represents an uncertainty that he will play. Worth at least a play on BG plus the points.Comment -
It's balmy there in the 60s.Originally posted by applepicksComment -
Really? That must be why they've had to postpone the start of the game hah?Originally posted by kdmfoxComment -
I don't recall seeing a drop of 9 points for a total. Ever.
That's crazy. Speculation is in full swing.Comment -
The point drop is strange.
Since it was mentioned, it was generally thought that Jacobs would be better than his predecessor, Josh Harris. That was saying a lot because Harris was very, very good in college. Omar is probably as good as advertised but I don't know if he's a true pro prospect. He's got the size (Harris was a bit undersized at around 6"1"--which is at most because I'm 5'9" and have stood next to him on the field and he wasn't much bigger than me), but Jacobs has a weird throwing mothion. It's sort of similar to Philip Rivers in that it's not an overhand throw. It works for the MAC but I don't know if pro scouts are too impressed. I guess we'll see when he enters the draft.
BTW, I bet on the under for this game with an "if bet"; if I win this under the total winnings go to the under of the Pats/Saints game (46pts.).Comment -
