Pointwise Red Sheet

Rutgers 34 - SYRACUSE 10 - (3:30 EST) -- Line opened at Rutgers minus 7½, and is now minus 8½. No
questioning the improvement of this year's 'Cuse edition, despite their 3-7 record. Hiring of
Marrone was a major plus, & will play out in the won/loss column in the near future. However,
the name of the game is numbers, & Syracuse's thin squad is losing the war of attrition,
with major injuries taking their toll. Throw in the fact that a bowl is now out of the
question. Enter the 7-2 Knights, who are once again in a late season rush, with a 31-0 rout
(32-pt cover) of a solid SoFlorida squad just the latest. They ran the table down the stretch
a year ago, own the Orange, & with the spot in the TD range, just can't ignore it.
RATING: RUTGERS 89

STANFORD 45 - California 16 - (7:30) -- Line opened at Stanford minus 6½, and is now minus 7. As we
wrote earlier on Pointwise, we've had this one circled for a month, & are simply shocked that
the line has come in at this low a number, especially with the previously unnoticed Cardinal
entering off that complete annihilation of USC (55-21, 44½ pt cover). And now Stanford
returns home, where it has been absolutely superb, covering 10 straight. In Gerhart, they
have the 3rd most prolific runner in the land, & Luck has now risen to 11th spot among the
nation's QBs. Cal is hurting, & hasn't impressed in a month. Revenge.
RATING: STANFORD 89

CLEMSON 48 - Virginia 13 - (3:30) -- Line opened at Clemson minus 19, and is now minus 19½. The Tigers
have always been a streak team, & with that being the case, it's about time that we jumped
on this rolling juggernaut. Five straight wins; four straight covers; at least 40 pts in each of
their last 4 games; rushing for 252, 242, & 254 yds the last 3 weeks; covering their last 4
games by a combined 54½ pts; the #12 defense in the nation, etc, etc. And this week, they
host a Virginia squad which has dropped 4 straight, by a combined score of 128-53 (0-3-1
ATS), & finds itself out of the bowl picture. Can see no other result here.
RATING: CLEMSON 88
