Oct 16th, 2009 Meghan McCain has a beautiful pair of winners. Matt Rivers
has two nicer ones. Danielle Chiesi photos are much
sought, but the picks from sports
handicapper Rivers is easily accessible.
Big Blue Madness 2009 is taking place both thanks to the
Dodgers score and Kentucky basketball, but it’s the sportsbooks are singing the blues.
Rivers has free pick Purdue (plus 13 ½) vs. Ohio
State at BetUs
Sportsbook. Here is the rationale:
I’ll take a stab on the home Boilermakers at this price for sure. It’s not the
Lock of my Life at all as Jim Tressel’s Buckeyes have
been beyond great defensively of late but Terrelle
Pryor and the offense have been far from good and have actually been getting a
little worse of late. Pryor is a beast that will mature and really learn how to
play the quarterback position but right now he’s sort of grasping for straws.
It’s certainly not going to help the signal caller as he will be without Noah
Herron in this thing.
Purdue is nothing too special at all but if they have proven anything this
season it’s that they won’t be intimidated by the big boys and will come out
swinging. The Boilers outplayed Oregon
in Eugene in an easy cover a
little over a month ago and should have beaten Notre Dame if not for some Jimmy
Clausen late game heroics combined with Purdue’s inexperienced head coach Danny
Hope calling a terrible timeout leading to the late Irish victory.
If you just look at the records then the Buckeyes should win by a billion as
they are 5-1 and the home boys are a porous 1-5 but anybody who knows anything
about college sports knows that a lot of the times the team’s wins and losses
can be fairly meaningless.
In case you didn’t realize it OSU managed a whole
eight first downs in that last 18 point win and slight cover over Wisconsin.
The Bucks also were outgained 368-184 at home to a fairly mediocre Badgers
squad and are ranked 108th of only 120 teams in the FBS in passing, I mean are you kidding me with that? A team
with those numbers will not always get the defensive scoring and when they don’t
these ridiculously poor stats are going to rear their ugly head and result in
not only a non-cover but an outright loss in a situation such as this one.
Ralph Bolden, Joey Elliott and Keith Smith are quality players, they really
are. Purdue is a ton better than the record indicates but the problem has been
their generosity with the football.
The Boilers have been done in by an enormous amount of turnovers, six to be
precise a few weeks ago against Northwestern and a ton of others
throughout. This will slow down as no team can continue such a dubious pace and
in the end today do not be surprised to see this game come down to the bitter
end. Ohio State
has really beeen playing with some fire and now going
on the road can lead to an all out catastrophe.
