oregon ~ 6

[QUOTE=sundown;11229]oregon ~ 6[/QUOTE] [I]Oregon -6??[/I] I backed off my original thought of -3; thinking about the odds makers' respect for Tressel & Co. If you peg that one, Sundown, my hats off to you. ;)

Oregon -3. I hope.

[QUOTE=Old School;11237]Oregon -3. I hope.[/QUOTE] I am still hardwired [U]not[/U] to believe an Oregon school could [I]EVER[/I] be favored over an Ohio State football team. (Too many losing seasons in the 70's, 80's and 90's. '95 notwithstanding--Oregon got crushed by PSU in the Rose bowl.)

My power ratings have Oregon by 2. What value is the site?

i think it belongs in the 3.5 - 6 range.

+3.5 to 6 is a range you need with a high-octane, offensive-oriented Oregon Duck type of game. I have lost a lot of games betting on or against this team over the last 10 years. They can be up or down by double digits in the 2nd half and still cover a game, either way. However, they have been up much more than they have been down this season so it wouldn't surprise me if they win by 14. But, on the other hand, they could lose by 7 or so. The Ducks are a volatile team to say the least--and I was lucky to cash in on OSU when they were down by 9 in the 2nd half (in hind sight). Just thought 10 was too many for an intrastate rivalry. I'm probably going with Oregon laying a FG or less. The Buckeyes cannot keep up with them if it's a shootout, IMO. GL

Very good work. This is what this site was meant to be about. And don't overlook OS' OVER call.

#324 Pittsburg +1 1/2 -109 #330 EC +2 -104.

#321 California under 32 1/2 -110, TT.
