| Top Play: NC State -10 over UNCI really have to | | | | Stocco to make plays. I like Alverez, but he is so |
| question the mindset of the Tar Heels coming into | | | | stubborn. If Michigan jumps on Wiscy early, he will still |
| this one 0-2 and sputtering on offense. Their QB | | | | run the ball. By doing this, he could put Stocco in a |
| Baker took a major pounding against Wisconsin last | | | | bad position later on in the game when they have to |
| weekend and will continue to do so unless UNC finds | | | | throw.Not a huge Lloyd Carr fan like most, but he will |
| some sort of running game.This Wolfpack team is so | | | | whip this D into shape, and I saw marked |
| much more athletic than UNC and faster than what | | | | improvement in the ND game. They have had trouble |
| they've seen so far in the losses to Wiscy and G | | | | with athletic QB's who can run or pass, the type |
| Tech. No excuse for NC State not getting the job | | | | Stocco is not.Always tough to go to Wiscy and win, |
| done against V Tech, as they held Vick in check and | | | | but this edition of the Badgers are simply not as |
| outgained them at almost a 2 to 1 clip.These rivalry | | | | strong as those of seasons past.Regular play: |
| games are usually close, but the Wolfpack are looking | | | | Michigan -2 1/2Small play: Penn State/Northwestern |
| to avenge a contreversial loss to the Heels last year, | | | | OVER 50 1/2I started off looking at this one favoring |
| are in front of the home crowd, and are facing an | | | | NW getting 7 1/2 at home, and that still looks decent. |
| opponent that is really struggling to move the | | | | Just don't trust the Wildcats defense to make stops, |
| football.NC State QB Davis looks more comfortable | | | | and add the fact that unlike past years, Penn State |
| leading the offense this year and it could be a long | | | | has some guys with big play ability on offense.Now, |
| day for the UNC D if their offense keeps putting | | | | the last 2 yrs, these teams played a couple low |
| their backs against the wall.Wolfback rolls in this | | | | scoring games, but I see a reversal in this trend on |
| one!!!NC State -10Regular play: Michigan -2 1/2 over | | | | Saturday. Lot of talk about how great the Nittany |
| WisconsinHad Wiscy last weekend against UNC, and | | | | Lions D is, but this is their first test and I believe this |
| wasn't real enthused by what I saw outside of the | | | | spread offense of NW will give them fits. Even |
| running game. Looks like the gameplan for the | | | | though they didn't score a whole lot vs. PSU in the |
| Badgers is back to the old ways, run the ball don't | | | | last 2 meetings, they did rack up some yardage |
| take any chances in the passing game. I think Stocco | | | | (AVG. 425 in those 2 games).Also, NW can't seem to |
| could be a decent passer, but it's obvious the | | | | stop anyone, and you should see PSU break some |
| coaching staff has little faith in him.On D, they over | | | | big runs, and QB Robinson should have a nice day |
| powered a weak team, but still gave up some | | | | through the air. I haven't been a huge Paterno fan |
| passing plays. I'll credit UNC's ineptness as much as | | | | and not a fan of their offensive playcalling, but NW's |
| Wiscy's stop unit for the lack of points put up by the | | | | opponents realize you must put points on the board, |
| Heels.Henne will put up some big numbers in this | | | | because they can score as quick as they give them |
| game. Michigan WR's Avant and Breaston have a | | | | up. NW reminds me of some of the MAC teams like |
| huge advantage against these corners, and Henne will | | | | BG, Mia Oh, N Ill, ect...that's their style of play.Looks |
| test them all day. Also, don't think the Badgers will be | | | | like a 35-31 type game from my standpoint.NW/PSU |
| able to push around the Wolverines O-Line like they | | | | OVER 50 1/2John Onan (aka Ego74) invites you to |
| did UNC. If Michigan can run the ball well, it'll open up | | | | visit for great handicapping info, sports discussion, |
| everything.Michigan on D will stack the line and force | | | | and free money contests. |
