    Winner will have somewhere between 33-38 pts. The loserLooser will have between 20-27 pts.

    What's the consensus on Washington? Do you guys think you are better or worse than last year?

    Really hard to say after 3 scrimmages...

    Your trolling right? We are in the North so we suck every year. Until we join the south we are bad because the south is tuff. Outside of Shaq as a RB our O sucked with no QB. We had 4-5 great players on D that had holes and depth issues in the back end. Peters had trust issues and we had two stud db's that came along as the season went on.

    I expect a good game and your D looks like our O last year and we still won at your place. We win rather easy, 34-17?

    I think it opened at 2 or 2.5 and now it's Washington +4.5



    Maybe the sharps will come in at the end of the week and push it down to UW +3.


    The one thing the betting public tends to over-value is a high powered offense. And Cal (ranked too high) has managed to throw some points up on the board so far this year.

    If the line keeps moving I'd like to lock in a bet sometime Thursday. If the line pushes again in the same direction like the BSU game, I'll probably double down. If the sharps move it back, I'll be happy I locked in.

    What will be interesting is how your D does bs an offense that actually can be considered at least average. (Not trying to troll but it is true)

    Our defense looked bad against Texas, but if you don't have a mobile QB, then it is a lot easier for us to defend.

    They were sending 3 people deep through our shallow zone with the last being a wheel route. It was uncovered because we were worried about the QB running. They got a couple open receptions off it, so we switched coverage and didn't have CBs in the flats anymore. This allowed Heard to run, and he was just too fast for us.

    Bottom line is that not many teams have a QB like that who can exploit our weakness.

    @Tequilla's pick of 27-24 was exactly what I was thinking.

    Now I'm really looking forward to the O / U coming out. I'd guess it will be 66 with the under being enticing.

    Last I checked the line was 61 I think.
