Week 4 weeknight musings

Yeah, if you give a shit anymore, I'll throw out some more of this drivel. Anybody that can suck ass as bad as I did last week definitely has a lot of nerve getting up in the morning, let alone spewing more of the same sewage as the previous two weeks. I'll recap in the full complement that you'll see tomorrow. As for tonight's game, I originally liked Ole Miss at such a short number, but I'm going to lay off. The numbers actually point to a pretty close game, especially in Columbia, and I think South Carolina is improving a bit, having found a couple playmakers on the offensive side of the ball. Throw in the fact that this team beat Ole Miss in Oxford last year, outgaining them in the process, and expecting Ole Miss to walk in there and win strictly because they are ranked #4 and had a nice year last year is somewhat misguided. Having said that, the Cocks haven't beaten a top 5 team in something like 100 years, so the assumption would be that they'll find a way to botch this opportunity as well. That being the case, a field goal is not enough value for me here. I'd lean in that direction in the event a gun was pointed at my head.


Friday:

Missouri -7 @Nevada: Yeah yeah, the pistol is cool, Colin Kaepernick is athletic, they can run it on Southern Utah, blah blah blah. I'm sick and tired of Nevada sucking against BCS programs, and I'm ready to profit from it further after cashing on their trip to South Bend in week 1. You remember week 1 right? Back when I had some semblance of a clue what in the hell I was doing? Whatever.... Their coach, Chris Ault is a knowledgeable coach, but bad breaks follow him, and he apparently isn't as good as I think he is because he keeps getting his ass kicked in these spots. They should have run all over Maryland in their bowl game last year and instead got run over themselves by a team that hadn't done it to anyone else all year. They were 120th against the pass last year, and SURPRISE they are 120th again this year. Missouri will score at will on them, especially coming off a couple of lackluster performances after steamrolling Illinois. These two teams met last year, and Mizzou won 69-17. Mizzou also has had success stopping the run, which is Nevada's bread and butter. Well, at least it's their bread and butter against shitty teams. Their bread and butter against actual good teams appears to be bending over and hoping their collective rectums remain intact. Perhaps the alternate universe will continue to exist and they'll sack up and lift a finger to provide some passing game resistance, but I highly doubt it.

More to come later if you want to set fire to your electronic cash.
