REDSHEET
Here it is redsheet at your service !
NOVEMBER 13, 2004 VOLUME 36, NUMBER 11
MINNESOTA 38 - Iowa 13 - (12:00 EST) -- Line opened at Minnesota minus 4, and is now minus 3. The
Gophers have hit hard times of late, after opening at 5-0. A win here (their final game of the
regular season), however, puts them at 7-4, & in line for a decent bowl slot. They've been
the epitome of road/away dichotomy, losing their last 3 visiting roles, not only SU, but by
42½, 26½, & 16½ pt vs the pts. In their last 3 hosters, they are undefeated, with ****** of
21, 12, & 26½, along with a 6-pt miss. They live via the rush, where they stand 7th best in
the land, despite their recent road demises, & still average 315 RYs at home, with Maroney
& Barber holding down the 18th & 34th spot among the nation's runners. Hawkeyes hurting
at RB, & have a 91-53 pt deficit as visitors. Minny in this "must" affair.
RATING: MINNESOTA 89
PURDUE 33 - Ohio State 16 - (3:30) -- Line opened at Purdue minus 5½, and is now minus 4. Much like
Minny above, the Boilers have dropped from the collegiate heights over the past month,
after also opening at a perfect 5-0. They've suffered thru an unimaginable 4-game stretch,
in which they've lost by 3, 2, 3, & 2 pts. From a national title contender, to an also-ran. But
they finish with a pair of home games, & Tiller won't allow any towel tossing. A week ago,
they came back from a deep hole at Iowa, which says volumes about their no-quit attitude.
The Bucks present a solid opportunity for ship turning, as Purdue has 2 scores to settle with
Ohio St, after losing in the final 1:36, & in overtime in their last 2 meetings. Buck offense is
a disgrace, ranking 79th in rushing, 99th in passing, & 105th in total "O".
RATING: PURDUE 89
BALL STATE 31 - Central Florida 20 - (4:00) -- Line opened at Ball St minus 2½, and is now minus 3½.
Prediction: in the not-too-distant future, the Knights of Central Florida will be a legitimate
power in the MAC, & will find themselves among the lower teens in the weekly polls. That
is if O'Leary is given the proper time & resources. He is, quite simply, a winner. It has
become more apparent by the week, that the talent just wasn't there for any miracle turnaround
this season. That being said, the Cards of Ball St had an extra wk to prepare for this
one, which has suddenly become incentive-laden, as they aren't about to become the only
team to lose to Central. Host team is on a 12-2 ATS run in Card games. Again.
RATING: BALL STATE 88
Georgia 24 - AUBURN 22 - (3:30) -- Line opened at Auburn minus 5, and is still minus 5. Originally we were
hoping for a spot of 7 or 8 pts on this one, & as a result of the 5-pt line, we decided to drop
the Bulldogs from a high rating on Pointwise, although calling for a 1-pt Tiger win. However,
respected sources agree that the 'Dawgs are still the play. The Eagles have done just
about all that has been asked of them this season, climbing to the #3 slot in the land on both
polls, as well as the BCS column. They rank 5th, 2nd, 14th, & 7th in total, scoring, running
& passing "D" respectively, with the Bulldogs ranking 14, 13, 20, & 16. Campbell is among
the best, but Greene has proven his worth in big games. In a classic.
RATING: GEORGIA 88
Clemson 27 - DUKE 26 - (1:00) -- Line opened at Clemson minus 12½, and is still minus 12½. A perfect
spot for the Imps. Not only have the Devils performed better than expected in 6 of their last
7 games, but they have the advantage of catching the Tigers off no less than 3 true
heartstoppers. Clemson eventually won all 3, but note that the dog also paid off in all 3.
Next week, the Tigers take on intrastate rival, South Carolina, so a bit of peeking to that one
is expected. Whitehurst has had his way with the Imps the past 2 years: 751 PYs & 7 TDs,
but just a 1-1 split ATS, narrowly escaping in last trip to Durham, 34-31. The host is a 6-1
series play, and the puppy is on a 13-5 spread run when the Tigers take the field.
RATING: DUKE 88
Seattle 31 - ST LOUIS 24 - (1:00) -- Line opened at St Louis minus 1½, and is still minus 1½. Revenge is far
from an automatic "go-with" in the NFL, as our annual late column on that theory in Pointwise
attests. But there are certain setups which call for a more than average look. This one is a
case-in-point. The Seahawks opened impressively this year, opening 3-0, both SU & ATS,
& in game #4, they held a 27-10 lead over the Rams with under 6:00 left. But Bulger then
smoked Seattle for 3 TDs, including the winning 52-yd pass in OT. That one sent the
'Hawks into 3-game tailspin, but they've regrouped, behind the running of Alexander, & a
revitalized Hasselbeck. Rams have allowed 71 pts past 2 weeks. Upset.
RATING: SEATTLE 88
NEAR CHOICES (Rated 87): Tulane, BowlingGreen, Texas, OklahomaSt -- NFL: Arizona, Cleveland, Dallas
LINE MOVES (from largest to smallest move): FresnoSt (-15½ to -19); Texas (-17½ to -21); Utah (-20 to
-23); Alabama (+10 to +7½); SMU (+9 to +7); TexasTech (+4 to +2½); Baylor (+26 to +24½); OregonSt (+1½

Northcoast 5* GOY (Sat.)
Northcoast will have their 5* College GOY this Saturday and here is some info on it. I correctly predicted Wisconsin -1' over Michigan State as his GOY last year and it won 56-21.
Their College GOY is 18-4 (82%) and they are 11-1 in their last 12 GOY's (they release a GOY in the regular season and postseason in college and pros.)
Here are the plays in POWER SWEEP:
(est. score/line/NC line)
4* Utah 49-17 (-21/-28)
3* Wisc 34-13 (-7/-17)
3* Oreg 45-20 (-6/-14)
2* ND 34-17 (-10'/-17)
2* USC 48-0 (-34/-42)
2* Okla 49-10 (-29/-36)
Underdog: Ga. 0ver Auburn 23-17 (+5/pick)
Last year Wisconsin was a 2* play in Power Sweep). Of the 22 GOY's only 2 times has Phil Steele used a game involving double digits:
1987 WV -13' over Rutgers (win 37-13)
1993 MSU +11 over AL (win 21-30)
Here are the free plays this week:
Utah -21 (Early Bird)
ND -10' (4* in Power Plays)
South Car 35-34 over Fla (-7'/-3)
BYU 30-10 (-6'/-14)
4 times has NC used an underdog and he is 4-0 using dogs.
Here are some others to consider:
Minn. 28-13 (-3/-10)
Purdue 28-13 (-3'/-10)
WV 27-13 (-7/-14)
Oreg. St. 31-17 (pk/OSU by 7)
Tx A&M 43-30 (-2/-10)
Possible 3* plays but not 5*
Ark 40-20 (-9/-17)
PSU 23-6 (-4/-10)
Tulane 37-24 (-6/-10)
Air Force 31-17 (-5/-10)
UVA 30-17 (-3/-10)
There are about 47 college games on Saturday and Steele likes to play the same teams so I would not be surprised to see Wisc. over MSU again. I don't think he will go with a large favorite such as Okla or USC as a 5* but use them as a 3*.
Here are my Top Guesses:
1. Oregon since he used them as 5* over Stanford this year and 4* last week over Cal. Has them win by 25 at home.
2. Minny -3
Minn. is undefeated at home while Iowa has struggled on the road. BTW, this is the Sports Reporter's SUPER BEST BET (10-2).
3. Purdue -3'
Has them 28-13 over Ohio State and says they should be -10. Will depend on Kyle Orton's health.
4. Wisconsin since he has won with them 2 of the last 4 years as his GOY and won with a 3* last week.
5. Oregon State as they won 43-3 last year. Used Oregon over Stanford in Oct. GOM.
6. Ga. +5 as he has them winning by 6. His Underdog Plays of the Week are 163-96 (63%).
7. One of the other games listed above.
Good luck to all this weekend. NC will release their GOY at 11am on Saturday. I will be working 10-2 pm that day and will not have
access to my computer till 3pm.NSA's NBA Game Of The Year was on Dallas -4.5 on March 31. Orlando won 108-99. It was a cloudy day for Sonny LaFouchi.

Perhaps Las Vegas should put out a line for each ofl the possibilities regarding what Northcoast's GOY of the year will be;they do it for other special events, so why not here?.:D
Even better Phil should run a separate contest himself, and whoever gets the GOY right will be entitled to a 10 year subscription to PowerSweep at a greatly reduced rate.Last edited by savage1; 11-11-2004, 10:22 AM.
