HARRY'S WEEK #12 "TOTAL PACKAGE" (34-15 for the season)
Last week was another winner on my college totals plays (3-2). I've been faring a lot better with these totals than with my sides (42-34 for the season). This week it's totals plays only for me, and an abbreviated card at that. Try these samplers out....
MICHIGAN/OHIO STATE - OVER 47-
The first question I asked myself about this contest is "who's gonna be more fired up?". Gotta believe it's the Wolverines. This has always been a fierce rivalry for them, they're home, and they need one more win to become bowl eligible. The Buckeyes meanwhile already clinched a Rose Bowl berth with their OT win over Iowa last week. I'm not sure Michigan can pull the upset, but they're gonna give it a try. For them to have a chance at all they have to score a bunch of points. The Wolverine defense is pathetic. The other Big 10 teams they've played this season have scored an average of 35 ppg. Even RainMan Tressel and Jamarcus Pryor will light up the scoreboard on these guys. This one goes into the high 50s or more. OVER.
FRESNO STATE/ LOUISIANA TECH - OVER 53-
Fresno averages 5.6 ypc this season. La. Tech allows 4.6 ypc. Let's split the difference and say Fresno should theoretically pick up 5.1 ypc. That's a lot! La Tech averages 4.2 ypc and Fresno allows a whopping 6.1. This too calculates to over 5 yards per rush. Toss in the fact that Fresno can also move it through the air and you'll come to the conclusion that these two teams (both Bulldogs) will not be able to stop the other one. They'll take turns going up and down the field and this one should easily go OVER the total.
TROY/FLORIDA ATLANTIC - UNDER 66-
This is a lot of points, particularly on a day when the weatherman is calling for steady rain. The Trojans are still smelling of BenGay after that shitkicking they took from Arkansas last week. Those sore hammy's should slow 'em down a bit. FAU has done a nice job on offense this year, averaging 28 ppg. But now their first-string QB Smith is injured and they're relying on the back-up. It all adds up.....to an UNDER.
As always, best of luck.
