Houston -2

**M.W.** · 09-13-10, 05:05 PM

What's the status of Keenum?

**paste_me** · 09-13-10, 05:11 PM

he had a mild concussion but in a conf call, the coach said he is doing much better. he has been seen around campus today near the practice facilities. so... i'm hoping he plays.

i think -2 is only valid if keenum does not play

**Uncle Harv** · 09-13-10, 05:33 PM

With or w/o Keenum, I think they pound UCLA on the ground. Just booked it at -2.5.

**paste_me** · 09-13-10, 06:27 PM

i agree, cotton is half decent

**AdamRB22** · 09-13-10, 06:35 PM

i have not followed much of U.H this year how are they looking and injury status...cuz UCLA just sucks. I made my selections but wouldnt mind adding another

**paste_me** · 09-13-10, 06:58 PM

sumlin goes on a local talk show tomorrow, we will know more then

**M.W.** · 09-13-10, 07:14 PM

Good job of getting a good line. I got -3 for a small play. I'm not comfortable with a bigger play until I get confirmation that Keenum is playing. But either way, I'll be pulling for you and UH.

**M.W.** · 09-13-10, 07:14 PM

Keep us posted, please.

Keenum is listed as day to day this week after showing symptoms of a concussion while taking a blow to the head making a tackle (interception) Friday against UTEP. Houston coach Kevin Sumlin said Keenum was "displaying symptoms of a mild concussion" on Friday. He added that his condition has "improved dramatically" since then. Sumlin says the team has followed its concussion management plan, but wouldn't provide more details on the injury.

UCLA also has quarterback issues. It looks like Kevin Prince will get the start this week after many thought he would be benched. Neuheisel said today Prince would be the QB. Of the 22 drives directed by Prince, 10 ended in a punt, 6 with either a fumble or interception and 1 missed field goal.

**Sean81** · 09-13-10, 07:43 PM

Its got to be 90% he plays right? Just rub some dirt on it and get out there.

**paste_me** · 09-13-10, 10:32 PM

UCLA offense is garbage!

and ucla will do the same, houston D can't tackle for their life (i watched the utep game last week)

**stefan084** · 09-13-10, 11:14 PM

houstons d is horrible, still i don't see how houston doesn't win by 10+ points

**paste_me** · 09-13-10, 11:23 PM

houston d is getting better, UTEP is a pretty decent team on offense i think they were 5 or 6 in the nation for scoring last year. so to judge houston d on that is not accurate

but yeah, houston d sucks major d*ck

NEWS!!!! I just talked to my buddy who is interning with the team this year, he said there will be good news coming tomorrow!!! POUND POUND POUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**MathewXB** · 09-14-10, 01:05 AM

Houston takes this game by at least 10. UCLA is an well rounded team if you are looking at a high school team!!!!!!!! But as a college team I have more faith in the North Texas Mean Green. Houston is not the best in D but they are better then UCLA's Offense and that is all that matters. I am sure that the coogs take this in a sweep.

**Tigers1230** · 09-14-10, 08:04 AM

Lame, BetUs doesn't even have a line up on this game.

**BigdaddyQH** · 09-14-10, 08:23 AM

Houston wins this game, but their defense is still not good. UTEP has nothing this season. A 31-10 win over Arkansas Pine Bluff is garbage. We will see how they hold up against Miss. State.

**Superman455** · 09-14-10, 08:40 AM

I agree, I like Houston to win by double digits. Good Luck with you wager

**pokerpro44** · 09-14-10, 08:52 AM

i love houston at -2.gl.

**Uncle Harv** · 09-14-10, 12:50 PM

This is an absolute must win for UCLA win Texas on deck next...normally that would worry me. But getting blanked by Stanford at home does not bode well for their ability to turn it around, especially not against one of the best offenses in the country. Houston rolls.

**Commission713** · 09-14-10, 01:53 PM

With Keenum, Houston wins by at least a TD ... UCLA is a mess, and no one out there seems to care that much.

They do now, Houston -3

**CHUBNUT** · 09-14-10, 04:12 PM

Anyone with half a brain would tell you Houston is a far superior Team. So why is the +3 UCLA getting bet big time at this moment.

Everyone knows the bookies are smarter than anyone on SBR haha

With that said, Keenum might not play.

**Uncle Harv** · 09-14-10, 06:46 PM

After that last post, I no longer feel very good about my pick of the week. Maybe they'll get up for this one since theyre playing a BCS conference school....even if it is lowly UCLA.

Yes, but there wins over Okie State and Miss State on the road as dogs were more impressive IMO.

I like Houston in this one as they get receivers in space and they can run the ball. I'm not sure UCLA can do anything right. I'm also curious of the Over/under as I'll be leaning Over as well.

People really use this to place bets?

You know it's gamblers fallacy to take this into account?

Taking that into account to back UCLA is actually inverse gambler's fallacy but anyway. I saw K today at the practice field, I was playing tennis right next to the field and he's playing on Saturday but I'm still passing on that game. The +3 for UCLA is getting more action and they have looked like shit this year. As a Cougar I really hope they win and cover easily but as an sports investor I believe there are many other better opportunities to make some $ this week.

Since I know someone is going to say: "Well then give us a winner you fuk!"

Told you. I actually ended up playing them 2 nights ago, got -2.5 at -115 and that line will probably close at -4. I played the over 59.5 and that one already moved 5 points my way.

Go UH!

I was almost gonna go with the over but I don't know if UCLA can even get the ball moving against our awful defense.
