KN -11.5 @ BC

Kansas:
13-0
8-3 ats
3-8 O/u


BC:
10-2
4-4 ats
5-3 O/u



First off, we've got a home dog of 11.5 (oddsmaker) on espn. thats an early lean towards BC.

Kansas, on the season, has played 3 legit big time schools; GT, AZ, and USC and each of those games were ones that came down to the wire. Kansas has been impressive in blowing out some small schools, but that doesnt have much to do with the game this weekend. BC has 2 losses on the year, both to decent programs, Umass and Prov. neither of those teams are world beaters, but both are well coached teams that play hard and can give most schools trouble. they also happen to be teams that wont always catch another schools best effort, game in and game out. you dont get up to play a providence like you do the Jayhawks. With that, BC doesnt really have any impressive wins. they went to MD and out played a weak terp team, and they have a decent win over Rhode Island. Looking over the wins you find that BC's worst performances didnt come in their losses, they, instead, came in two wins. BC only managed to beat northeastern by by 2, and sacret heart by 5. a last second 3 and all of the sudden BC has a terrible loss to a team like northeastern...beating a terrible team by 2 doesnt necessarily make you any better than beating losing to them by 1. for god sakes, NE only shot 18% from 3 in the game.

lookin over the rosters, kansas is a whos who over HS recruits and sometimes they play like it. they work hard on defense and they are unselfish. at other times, robinson struggles finding himself and i think he is a big key to their teams offensive success. For bc to win they will need Rice to be the best player on the court, which hes capable of being, and they'll need spears to bang around on the boards.

as a team, kansas shoots over 52% from the floor and they hold their opposition to around 38%. the jayhawks are clearly one of the best teams in the nation and they may be the most talented, but im gonna play the home dog on espn to start my saturday. i look for BC to play with a lot of passion and keep the game close. there will be times where they look outclassed, but ive got bc playing within the number.

bc +11.5

Excellent write-up Mo.

Will be tailing you on this one. Hopefully you put some major cash on this one to help off-set your loss on the Washington Foreskins...

GL bro.

Lol. Skins are going to pound the Hawks? You had better drink a few more beer bro, it is not happening. The Redskins may be the NFL's "feel good story" but they are completely undermatched on the road against an experienced, solid home team in Seattle. The Seahawks are a much better all-around team, and they are in a spot which they are much more familiar with than Washington. The Redskins pass defense has been lacklusture quite often this season, and I fully expect Matt Hasselbeck to have a solid game at home. Seattle has much more depth at WR then Washington does at the corners.

I believe the Seahawks defense will throw a lot of blitzes at Collins and he will be sitting on his ass more often then not. The Seahawks have a great running defense and I believe they will be able to limit the productivity of the Redskins running game which they usually rely upon to lift some pressure off of Collins.

The Redskins get the job done here.

27-13

Mo:

Thanks for the great write up.
I was leaning toward BC myself....KU is a big hype team right now which of course = an inflated line. Skinner also historically done great as a double digit dog at BC.

when you reference this lackluster pass d, do you mean the one thats held its opposition to a passer rating of about 56 over its last 4 games? im just curious.
the seahawks played 2 games vs teams in the playoffs i do believe, the skins played what, 7? and they only really got outplayed once this season.

lets have more fun. seattle has a nice run d? minn had the best run d, by far, in the nfl...the skins had a good time with them. whats scary about the seattle pass rush, osi, strahan and tuck couldnt get to collins, whats changed since then?


bring it!!

haha

i'll talk with ya around game time matt.

glad we're on the same page

FYI: BC is terrible this season. This is a team that's destined for the bottom-half of the ACC, and at this point of the season few seem to realize just how poor this team is. It's D-Rice and nothing else on offense. Rice has so much pressure on him offensively, and if he doesn't put in 30 this team really struggles, particularly against a legit team like KU. Self will focus all of his attention on stopping Rice, and the rest of this BC squad is young and simply not that talented. Count me among those who think KU is a bit overrated, and their numbers are already inflated, but this is a game they should roll in.

I'll be passing unless this dips to 9, but I think you're on the wrong side here. Keep an eye on BC... this team will be one of the better fades early on in conference play.

Good luck.

I agree with most of this post except for the fact you are passing on this game. I am making my biggest NCABB play of the day on this game. I think Kansas will cause a lot of turnovers in this game that will lead to easy buckets. I have Kansas -10.5.

[mofome]

line has moved in my favore a point. we'll see soon enough. gl guys.

[JoshW]

Coming right after a huge Orange Bowl win, I felt bad betting against KU, but sometimes has to be done.

[mofome]

well this will go down as an early loss, blow out city in BC.

congrats guys on kn. thats a fun team to watch.
