The H-Man Cometh: Week 9
October 26th, 2007 by The H-Man
Colorado v. Texas Tech (Over 61.5) 2 Units 12PM EST
Colorado gives up 23.8 ppg. They also turn the ball over a lot and should give Texas Tech a short field.
Outside of the turnovers, Colorado’s offense is better than people think. Take away their 16-6 loss to Florida State and their 19-14 loss to Kansas, Colorado has scored over 20 points against every opponent this season. Texas Tech’s defense is nowhere near the class of FSU’s or Kansas’. The Raiders are giving up 23.1 ppg.
I think you know what Texas Tech’s offense can do, especially at home against a sub par defense.
California v. Arizona State (Over 60.5) 2 Units 10PM EST
Cal averages 35.1 ppg and 420 ypg. ASU averages 37.7 ppg and 462 ypg. You do the math.
I don’t think either of these teams has a defense that warrants a total less than 70. Cal’s defense gives up 26.1 ppg. ASU’s defense has been much better, but they have yet to face an offense in the same league as Cal’s.
Tulane (-1.5) v. Memphis 1 Unit 3PM EST
Memphis’ defense gives up 29.3 ppg. They also give up 150.3 yards per game on the ground. Earlier this season in a 56-20 loss to Central Florida, Memphis allowed 3 UCF RBs Smith, Smith, and Greco gain 124 yards, 96 yards, and 77 yards, respectively. That is terrible.
Tulane’s strength is ball control. Tulane RB Matt Forte has rushed for 1,261 yards and 13 TDs already this season while maintaining over a 6.1 yards per rush average.
South Carolina (+2.5) v. Tennessee 1 Unit 7:45PM
This is a play based solely on coaching disparity. Steve Spurrier has mind control over Fulmer, and Fulmer already can’t coach his way out of a wet nut sack. You factor in that Spurrier knows this is a must win for South Carolina to control their own destiny in the SEC East, and you have to like the Gamecocks.

I really like the Cal over as well but what about Florida? I think Florida is going to destroy UGA this week.

Lets face it, even Spurrier cant shake the chicken curse.
