Southern Carolina and Ohio St

dlw902 · 10-15-10, 01:05 PM

South Carolina hasn't lost to Kentucky in 13 years... and it won't happen this week. I think USC rolls the Wildcats... Statistically, it's an absolute mismatch. USC has one of the top backs in the SEC, while Kentucky has the worst rushing defense in the SEC. Should be an easy win, IMO. Traditionally, this is always a tight matchup but USC hasn't had the balance that they have now. I think they go into Lexington and prove that they are a darkhorse to play for a national title by throttling the Cats.

so why did the line open at almost a TD and its now down?

Right?? Something is up...

Also the other day my buddy's dad asked me what i thought of OSU vs Wisco... he is a OSU grad.. i told him .. as fast as he could ask me.. that OSU has not shot at loosing on saturday....

no sooner had i said that.. that i realized how square a comment that was.. and checked the line and realized even more how square of a comment that was....

I think Vegas wants you to think exactly that... OSU has no shot at loosing.. so please take this easy -3.5 spread.

In the South carolina game there is more bad news for Kentucky. There starting running back will be out for saturdays game forcing them to play a freshman against a very good USC defense. Spurrier will have his guys focused on forgetting Alabama game and should roll on saturday.

Perhaps we're overthinking these games due to the line, ofcourse these are the perfect letdown spots for both teams, but could this be one of those "damm tressel does it gain" and "freaking 'Old Ball coach" once the games are over? I personally like Wisconsin straight up and Love Carolina. This S.Carolina team is very good and if it wasnt for a few turnovers by Garcia perhaps they be undefeated. I think playing this game on the road rather than at home is beneficial to the Gamecocks

I like the Buckeyes here....Ohio State enters the game as a six-point favorite. The Buckeyes are 21-6 against the spread in their last 27 road games and are 10-3-1 in their last 14 as a road favorite. Wisconsin is 1-5 versus the spread this season and 0-3 against the number in their last three meetings with Ohio State......Buckeye defense hasn’t allowed a 100-yard rusher since the USC loss in 2008....

Buckeyes 31 Wisconsin 20

South Carolina will be focused and ready, Kentucky will stay in the game but S.C. covers.

One thing to consider is South Carolina is currently 1st place in the East. They have a lot to play for after that win over Alabama. I think the game against Alabama was more of a statement than an upset. With the East being down they've got to be able to go in and win against a down Kentucky team or they leave themselves little hope vs. Florida. I don't see Kentucky stopping Alshon Jeffery and I don't think Kentucky has enough support around Randall Cobb to pull out the victory. Kentucky would have suffered back to back blow outs except for whatever happened to Auburn during the 2nd half of that game (31-14 at half). I was watching Florida/LSU during the second half so not sure what changed but I don't expect this game to stay close.

I'll gladly take South Carolina at -5.

hope you ladies took both these picks today...

it's getting too easy for me in college to find these wrong lines..
