  • Picks For Saturday (GOY)

    College Football
    -------------------

    I only put out 1 per season in each sport and i have chosen today to play my CFB "GOY". I say it every time and i'll say it again. There is no such thing as a lock or guarantee in gambling. Only wager what you can afford to lose because that is a possibility.


    All Time "GOY" Record = (25-10)

    Oklahoma -21



    I think this is a GREAT spot for the Sooners here. Texas A&M is in a downward spiral right now losing 2 of the last 3 and they have a coach under alot of fire and on the hot seat. The Aggies have played Oklahoma very tight 3 years in a row. A closer look shows OU was in a tough spot in some of those meetings with a sandwich of @ Missouri and Texas Tech last year. Nebraska & T.T. on the road the year before and Okie St & Nebraska the year before that. All 3 were tough spots for Oklahoma and coming off a physical game while looking forward to another tough one made them a little liable. They beat Texas A&M 77-0 a few years ago with a look ahead game of Baylor the following week. Guess what, Baylor is next up for them after this A&M game. They are also coming off a game against Iowa St 2 weeks ago that they were clearly not up for. That means they have had 2 weeks to rest and think about the poor performance against the Cyclones. You can bet it wasn't a pretty 2 weeks waiting for the Aggies to come to town. They know what the BCS stakes are and even with a loss, they suddenly find themselves right back in it again. More this year than in previous one's they know they must impress the voters to move up and they know they can't afford another effort like they gave against Iowa St. They had plenty of time to prepare for the Aggies and A&M is coming off a tough, physical, loss at home to Kansas. This is a perfect setup for a beat down out behind the Woodshed here. With no worries or distractions next week knowing Baylor is on tap, i expect an all out effort here and a similiar game to the one they played 4 years ago in a very similiar spot.

    Texas A&M falls right in to Oklahoma's strength here as well. The Sooners are ranked 11th overall in the country defensively (3rd against the rush). The one thing the Aggies like to do is run the ball. They are 10th nationally in rushing yards and 109th nationally passing. When OU shuts that rush down, they have no chance in the air against this defense. The Aggies have only played 3 road games. They beat a bad Nebraska team that couldn't stop the run and they were smoked against a middle of the road Miami team and a middle of the road T.T. team by a combined 45 points in those 2 games. Neither is in the same class as OU.

    The Sooners are (8-0) Ats the game after allowing 275+ yards and (7-2) Ats in their last 9 home games. They bounce back well after a poor outing. The Aggies are (2-8) Ats in their last 10 as a road dog of +10.5 or more and the Home team is also (8-2) Ats last 10 in this series. Texas A&M won't lose 77-0 this time and they will keep it closer than that. I'm guessing more like 1/2 of that and i'm saying more like .......

    Oklahoma 45 Texas A&M 7





    GOOD LUCK!

          When i saw his post i said oh no, is it OU or Okie St. I knew it was 1 or the other and i figured he wouldn't pull the trigger on his own team and be called a homer. I was right and i was safe there!
