GEORGIA TECH (9-4) at W VIRGINIA (10-2)

Both teams have excellent rush defenses and are about equal in the passing game. Whichever team can establish a running game should win this one. The spread however is way too high as I think this will be a defensive struggle. I like GT plus the points and the under.

With you on this one Ill. Getting the much, much better defense and double digits is quite the opportunity. I love how everyone is acting like the loss of Reggie Ball kills Georgia Tech's chances. It doesn't take much to throw the ball to Calvin Johnson, and WVU can't cover anybody. Taylor Bennett is a better pure passer than Ball anyway. If WVU acts like they think they should be in the BCS, they are liable to get beat here.

How bad is Slatton's should hurt is the real question guys. WV is trying to down play his injury, and thats never a good sign when coaches do that stuff.

Also think the Rodriguez situation may have the WVU kids having conflicting emotions in this game.

W. Virginia was overrated, and I agree that Bennett will be more effective than people think.

Ga Tech +11 small play

I will be playing Georgia Tech and the OVER in this one.

Taking WVU and giving the points here.

Ball's absence can only help Tech Bettors IMO.

Like GT plus the 10 points. They could win this outright. West Virginia played poor down the stretch even when White and Slayton were in there. Their defense is atrocious.

I have played a 4 team parlay earlier this week before it was announced Ball didn't want to go to class. I had them +7 then and see it has gone to 10. Heck I like them more now knowing Ball is not out there. In case you wondered who my other 3 teams are I will post them here..
Auburn -2
Oklahoma -8
LSU -9

This is the way I played the side and total also, onlooker. GL
and happy new year everybody!

Even without Reggie Ball i'm gonna take my chances with GT +11 today.

EaglesPhan36 · 01-01-2007, 11:54 AM

Slaton will play, but Rodriguez has said he will share carries. I think Tech and the points are a nice play. I'm probably gonna drop a little on Tech to outright win this at +305 just for the hell of it. GL!

OVER looking real good. Already 45 points in the 1st half. I got it at 47, so if I get fcuked on this one, I quit betting.

prickbeater101 · 01-01-2007, 02:19 PM

GT is really looking good so far but plenty of game left...

onlòóker · 01-01-2007, 02:21 PM

OVER cashed already.

The GT side is looking good as well, but I just hope they dont fade.

prickbeater101 · 01-01-2007, 02:36 PM

You got that right onlooker...I don't like the way this game is going. Just scored another TD. If they can't answer then I am in big trouble, which would come as no surprise to me....
