Officially 2-2 on this site.
Last week two fav winners and two fav losers (outright no less).
This week...
K-State +1.5
Once again, Vegas is not making sense to me. Who's more dangerous? KU's Reesing-Briscoe-Meier or MU's Gabbert-Alexander-?? KU!
KSU shut down the KU last week and I think KU would be 3pt fav or pk vs the Tigers if their game were played this week. The betting public still isn't convinced that it is late in the 2009 season and I think that this spread favoring MU is reflective of preseason expectations.
There is much I'm hearing about infighting within the MU team (team v coaches, upper classmen v lower, offense v defense... sounds crazy and probably largely is but I also think that rumors start somewhere). This is Senior Day for K-State and a chance to become bowl eligible (2 wins v DII opponents). KSU is undefeated at home this season. Coach Snyder has never lost to Pinkle. Gabbert did have the 2nd best passing day in MU history last wk in loss to Baylor but MU's rushing attack is lacking (it IS a spread offense thogh) w/ leading rusher Washington having 500 yds & 5 td's. Conversely, K-State's Daniel is a 1000+ yd rusher already w/ 11 td's (played sparingly early season and only 1st half in blowout win vs A&M). Every time I see him I say the same thing as he breaks tackles... "Man among boys". If you haven't yet seen him u may have a chance to peek in on him tomorrow (Versus @ 11:30ct). Quite a specimen. I'm not looking it up but still think Mu hasn't scored a TD in the 2nd half of any conference game. If KSU has the lead at the half... game over. As it is... predicting KSU to again control the lines and the clock. After MU takes early lead K-State gets a big play en route to 23-17 win.
Awaiting ph call from down south but leaning heavily OSU -4 vs. TTech.
Also considering these home underdogs: KU, UNC, Marshall.
Marshall's best D in conference coming off bye week. I heard that UNC never lost to Miami at home (correct?). KU can save their season and become bowl eligible.
Any info or corrections on these is appreciated as always.
