    I wouldn't toss it out the window but would take into account who those games were against and what point in the season they occurred. IE: The western division tends to boil down to the last few weeks (November) and if all of those wins came in November? Yeah, I'd weigh it in my decision.

    The trend is not your friend. Understanding the games beyond the boxscore is the way to cash tickets. Box scores are very often misleading and misrepresent how a game played out. It's more of an art. Like how white Stanford is. It doesnt show in the stats.

    Thus the 51 points likely scored by Oregon and picking them ATS and probably the over?

    I think I'm getting the hang of this.

    I found out ravens and John harbaugh 11-2 su and 10-3 ats after a bye. And won 11 straight vs Cleveland.

    But I took Cleveland at home bc they are a better team. Cleveland won.

    Also I did go 10-2 ats on all nfl games yesterday in our little league. That's pretty difficult. You can play next year.

    Well always look to go against the public if possible. Unfortunately the public plays Oregon and over every week. Fortunately they still somehow cover. The books make up insane numbers yet Oregon still kills them.

    I'd take Stanford and under simply bc I'm a contrarian. The total is 65'. Line is now 11.

    Our defense will give up at least 38 pts, i doubt our offense scores more than 24.

    Ala will cover spread and it will be over 52 pts

    The prvious years both teams had stellar defenses, this year both give up points

    Since you think Bama's defense gives up points, why don't you think our offense can score more than 24 on them?

    Come on, guys, let's do this damn thing! Beat Bama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
