I know it was Nicholls State, but still the O coordinator is now the coach, so there is no slouch with Kelly gone. Virginia only scored 19 against BYU. Oregon will score at least 50 again right? Will Virginia put up 30 in this one? I don't see that happening. Everyone sees Oregon's offensive output but they don't see a defense that led the nation in takeaways last year and should be just as good this year. Virginia's offensive output was pathetic; 2.6 ypr and 3.6 ypp, that shit won't stand against a Oregen offense that will score at will. Getting this game at -21 at -130 has me thinking about making my biggest NCAAFB bet in 3 years.
Oregon 52
Virginia 17
Someone try and talk me out of putting up a very large wager (for me anyway)
Yeah, if this was a home game I'd be hammering this but on the road with jet lag and possible high heat??? Also Virginia is not as bad as most people think. They have an alright defense.
The more I look into the matchup the more I see Oregon rolling here by 30+. Virginia may have a decent D, but they'll still need to score 20+ to stay within the spread, Oregon will get no less than 40 here. They beat 15th ranked Oregon State on the road by 24 and 5th ranked Kansas State at neutral site by 18. Surely both of these teams are/were much better than playing Virginia @ Virginia.
My only issue is I've never made a straight bet on a spread that was more than 2 TDs before, large spreads always make me look elsewhere but this looks too good.
I took Virginia in a 10 point teaser getting 32 points...they played well against a very solid BYU squad...not sure why you guys are ragging on the Cavs offense...BYU has one of the best defenses in the country...don't be surprised to see the wahoos hang around in this game and make it much more competitive than people think...
