good luck amigo

Arizona plays very poorly in Northern California. They are 0-5 ATS at Cal, and 1-3 ATS when they play at Stanford. They are also 0-7 ATS after the UCLA game. Cal just held Washington State to 3 points. A win here will come very close to putting themselves into a Bowl Game.

Buffalo has not lost a game ATS this season. Miami Ohio is 2-5 this season and 1-5 ATS. Buffalo looks like a solid wager.

Thanks BigDaddy. Good luck this week. You know the Pac 12 & West coast teams as well as anyone here. Do you have an opinion on Boise/Wyoming?

Wyoming is finally starting to come around and play like many expected them to, when the season started. Even though their QB has not had the season most expected out of him, he is still very good. Boise State's defense has either been very good, giving up 12 ppg when they win, or very bad, giving up 44 1/2 ppg. Wyoming is 4-1 ATS on Smirf Turf, and getting 14 points is too much for me to fade. I would take Wyoming or pass.

Do you know for sure who's starting at QB for Buffalo this week? If it's that 3rd string freshman, I'd reconsider.

As of now, it is the 3rd stringer. That really is not why I based my statement. My Buffalo pick is based on the fact that Buffalo is 3-4 and Miami Oh is 2-5. Buffalo is also 5-0-1 ATS and Miami is 1-5 ATS. When yo are dealing with bad teams, there is not that much difference in the talent level. Miami's starting QB Ragland is also out, as well as two starting offensive linemen.

Sounds like waayyyy too many unknowns and at the most important position, to bet on with any confidence. BOL though.

Had both teams been about even in the ATS catagory, I probably would have just passed on the game. But this shows me that Buffalo does not quit and Miami (Ohio), a team that was favored to win the Mac East by one publication, does. This is certainly no the strongest pick I will have for the rest of the season.

great job so far

[daneblazer]

That 7 OT marathon not withstanding, buffalo has a pretty good defense. They’ve fought in all of their games. Miami was just beaten by an awful Kent St team. They look like they are heading south. I think buffalo wins SU

A lot of what Buffalo did was from really strong QB play by Tyree Jackson and especially Drew Anderson. Drew Anderson has some Bledsoe in him, I'm not kidding. As soon as the 3rd stringer came in for the second half, they stopped scoring completely. Kid showed some moxy rolling out in his own endzone and completing a couple of long passes, but the offense was pretty helpless beyond that.

I should know, I had Northern Illinois that game, and they for whatever reason decided not to score either.

Total is down to 45.5 -- might be too generous.

And the 3rd stringer goes 40% completion, and Buffalo loses by 10. Gotta watch these things guys.
