Colorado at Kansas (-2) |
This one is KU’s – I’ll just come out and say it – and for the following reasons:
- CU is easily the worst team in the Big 12 – or at least let’s hope so
- CU has no passing attack – KU’s is light year better against the run over the pass and they have a mediocre run stopping D. To illustrate, over the four game skid KU has given up an average of 360 yards and, in total, 14 touchdowns through the air W-T-F
- CU has already started talking about next year KU is at home Cornish is on a mission to be the leagues top back – though slap a big AD asterisk next to that entry.
And what else can I desperately cling to….the 06 Jayhawks are not building for the future. Mangino has pulled the redshirt off of some freshmen, 2/3 into the season. This tells me he has not cashed his chips and is gearing this team up for a repeat of the 05 season – win three of your last four and find you way to Ft. Worth. KU covers and KU fans will once again enjoy the taste of a W along with their post-game beers and wang-burgers at the Wagon Wheel Café – aka the Wheel.
vs | Texas at Tech (+10.5) |
This one is as straightforward as it gets…Harrell is a good quarterback who simply isn’t use to handling pressure defenses. His ability to adjust and make the correct reads when the heat is one of the defining characteristic of his career. Even the most disgruntled Tech fan can not argue that when his is on the tortillas are a fly’n. And when pressured…well you have the 06 season. With little supporting cast in the backfield, Texas will pressure Harrell all day…hence the story line of this game. Texas covers easily and Greek Circle is at full capacity by the middle of the fourth quarter.
Wildcard – Georgia at Florida (-13.5) Another week another great SEC rivalry game. And who can argue against the “world’s largest cocktail party”, no Blaine it’s not frosh orientation in Lubbock, being in the line-up. Other than that, the Gators are hitting their stride and UGA is on the slide. Gators cover with recruits in the stands.
Mildcard – Minnesota (+27.5) at Ohio St This will be a blow-out…just wanted to include the letter sweater wearing mascot for my wife – the Ohio State Buckeyes cover.
