A couple more for Week 6.....

Still capping, and I've come across a couple more that I think will make damn fine additions to the numbered musings. That will add up to 15 for the week, which I am sure is a record. Generally, I wouldn't suggest betting this many, but I've had a hard time narrowing them down.

14. Texas Tech -7 @Kansas St: A review of Kansas St's defensive stats have revealed a unit completely unable to get out of it's own way. Tons of penalties, blown assignments(which were on display for the whole cuntry to see when Louisville racked up 566 yards on them), poor tackling, you name it. La La also ran on them at will, so they've struggled to stop the run and the pass, equal opportunity trash. A shitfest. Texas Tech is actually runnng it very well this year as well. Rumor has it that the D coordinator is on the hot seat, and doubles as public enemy #1 in the Little Apple, so the boo-birds are expected if they struggle on D..never a good scenario. The roof is going to cave in on them, unless they can rack up about 45 points.

15. @Tennessee -16 v NIU: This line has been dropping due to all the negative press about the QB situation in Knoxville. Whatever. Even with the horrfic play at QB, Tennessee was one play from winning outright at Auburn last week. Now they come home to play NIU, a middle of the road MAC team who has a deceptive big score blowout on the road last week. In that game EMU just abandoned all sanity by getting stopped on downs 6 times. If Tennessee shows up at all, they'll have this covered by halftime. It might get even lower by kickoff, because there is so much dissing of th Vols going on. I think Phil Fullmer is a buffoon, but it certainly isn't as bad as people are making it out to be.


Another thing....I hereby revoke my also ran comments on Kentucky. After some reading and careful reflection, I think Bama is going to roll them. They've already learned their lesson from the Tulane game, they have a bye next week, and Saban, by all accounts, has been verbally abusing them and calling them everything but a white man due to their sloppiness in the second half last week. Kentucky has no skill on offense...this looks like a 30-0 game on second glance. So I DO NOT recomend a play on Kentucky. That's it. Have a good week. Sorry it took 3 emails to get this across.
