Lowered expectations. I don’t mean that in a snarky way, I’m just not going to get my hopes up against the better teams in this conference.

#letsgobowling

Um, call me a homer, but the best football game in history – for me – was the 2009 Sugar Bowl.

Moneyline has moved from +196 to +213 to +210. People starting to smell the money on Utah.

I wish we were cool enough to have a nickname! So far, I haven’t seen anything that we don’t already call ourselves – ‘da two utes’ or some lame play on polygamy.

Once we win the conference, I’m sure the insults, ahem, nicknames will come.

I guess from reading other Pac12 blogs?

Yes

If I hadn’t quit my job to go to graduate school I’d bet Utah to win on the moneyline, assuming Utah is still the dog when that comes out.

$$ to be made on this one!

First, where are you getting these odds? Bovada doesn’t have them – Vegas Insiders has the opening line, but not the updated line – confused.

Second, people try to infer football knowledge into these odds, and it’s just not a good idea. Lines have relatively little to do with actual football outcomes, and more to do with getting people to…[Read more]

That really sucks for the ducks. I hate to see teams derailed by injuries.

Well, of course the most impactful win would be $C – that doesn’t mean it’s going to happen.

Wazzu was able to pressure Darnold because $C has been hit pretty hard with injuries to offensive linemen. The injuries to $C’s OLinemen probably dictate the rest of their season. If they get healthy on the offensive line, I don’t see teams, including…[Read more]

I like this perspective; here’s my take:

Yes (WSU), no (Wash), yes (Furd), I thought no, but now have a little hope, but still leaning no ($C)

Yes, we let Falk get away /sigh

Yes, yes they could. Wazzu in the RES gonna be a good one for sure!

I like Wazzu over $C primarily because the game’s in Pullman. Literally the whole town is shutting down for this one. If the pressure doesn’t get to the players, the atmosphere is gonna be outrageous.

I like Utah over Wazzu in SLC for kinda the same reasons. Not that beating WSU…[Read more]

USC @ WSU

I think USC gets exposed in this game.

He’s definitely the kind of player that can lead a team to a WS – not that he needs to, with that line up.

Feeling pretty good about the Cubs future, though! Yanks-Cubs series would be awesome!

Cheers!

Gleyber Torres /sigh

I guess the Chapman rental was good for a World Series ring!

Yes, exactly this

TW has played for 2.5 quarters under Taylors offense

Small sample size in effect

I was surprised by that too! Their wins graded lower than ours:

Week 1 vs Montana St = 8
Week 2 vs Boise St = 9
Week 3 vs Oregon St = 9
Week 4 vs Nevada = 8

Ours:

Week 1 vs North Dakota = 9
Week 2 vs TDS = 12.25
Week 3 vs SJST = 8
Week 4 vs Zona = 11.25

The North Dakota and SJST games are a wash; the difference is that TDS (on the road, by 6…[Read more]

Pretty sure that’s correct – Judge is amazing!

Would not surprise me – it’s shocking how bad the Beavs are.
