in General
we have 4 potential playoff teams playing each other this weekend
Notre Dame vs Stanford kicking off at 730 and Penn State vs Ohio State kicking off at the same time
Who do you think gets the win?
ND is favored on the spread by 5.5 and I think they cover it
Ohio State is favored over Penn State by 3.5 currently, but I honestly have no idea how this game turns out
Comments
Penn State and Stanford lose.
Both games are close enough as to be interesting at least going into them. We don't actually know a lot about most teams yet. Some undefeated teams probably shouldn't be (hint: Stanford).
I don't much like any of these teams so I'll just cheer for the underdog. If the underdog changes during the course of the game I'll switch to the new underdog. Unless it gets out of hand and boring.
When Georgia is ahead by 50 points it's still exciting, but somehow that doesn't apply to a lot of non-Georgia games. I want them close and competitive.
Go, Dawgs!
I don’t like either Urban Crier or James franklin - maybe a scoreless tie?
Osu is my least favorite non rival team but they our psu in a body bag. Vandy almost beat the Irish. I think Stanford wins by 10.
I think Ohio cruises. Could be tough though bc it’s a road game at night and they’re doing the white out thing.
Notre Dame looked great with Ian Book at QB. I look for them to roll
I think Ohio State wins and covers the spread by a very wide margin.
I’m actually picking Stanford to win this game. I don’t have faith in ND run defense and I think the Stanford Oline and Love will get the job done. Ian Book looked really good against Wake Forest, but how will he look vs. a David Shaw coached defense? Won’t be surprised either way the game goes but if I were betting money it’d be on Stanford.
Standford wins being on a high after the good victory over Oregon.
Penn State wins but its closer than expect and McSorely makes a Heismann bid this game. OSU losses due to injuries in the defense.
I've got The Cardinal plus 7.5. Only taking them because of the .5. A little leary as teams coming off a big win (Oregon) usually have a slight hangover the next week. As for OS, PS, I'd like to see both just beat themselves silly. A PS win would be perfect for derailing the OS season and getting them out of the conversation.
Not that they are playoff contenders but this weekend I'm focusing more on what's going on in our backyard. KY, SC should be interesting as will FL, MissSt.
PSU wins and covers at home....would not surprise me if they win pretty easy
