thank you--- yes it is a tuff game to pick im probally gonna just play the total and take the under 65pts in an teaser and fill the other side in with Ohio St ,
No problem. I'm leaning hard on Stanford and gonna buy the hook if necessary.
Another toss up in my mind. Don't see much of an edge here. Going to see how this one plays out and maybe wait for the 2nd half
I think the red zone % is also important
vt 90% opponents 75%
stan 88.4% opponents 77.8%
pretty dang close
