Beat the Anglin Book: Week 4, Cont.
Alabama (+1.5) at Arkansas
This match up of the top two teams in the league features…What? They’re only at the top alphabetically, not literally?…Hold on…AND they combined to beat Vanderbilt by just five points?…Come on. Now I’ve got to scrap my whole…
Arkansas - 17, Alabama - 13
Hey Hog fans, at least he's not Mike Shula.
#12 Notre Dame (-3.5) at Michigan State
So now it seems we have three different Irish teams. It’s just a matter of which one is going to show up. Will it be the steady, Darius Walker-led Irish we saw in Atlanta? Could it be the world beaters who pounded Penn State in every facet of the game? Or will it be the team with the same shaky secondary we’ve come to know and love, not to mention a QB going through a sophomore slump in his senior year?
It’s a good thing Notre Dame has that whole revenge thing going for them, because I can see Drew Stanton going absolutely wild on Saturday night in East Lansing. A year ago, he threw for over 300 yards and 2 touchdowns, while running for another, in South Bend, and I don’t see any reason why he can’t do the same this weekend.
However, I can’t see this MSU defense holding Notre Dame down for long anyway, let alone coming off an embarrassing performance last week. Drew Stanton outplays Brady Quinn in this game, but he just doesn’t have enough weapons to get it done in the end. Walker is the difference as Notre Dame covers on the road.
Notre Dame - 34, Michigan State - 27
The Irish would have no chance of stopping Charles Rogers. Unfortunately, I think he's getting paid not to play football these days.
Kentucky (+23.5) at #5 Florida
You could look at this as a trap game for the might Gators, coming home following a huge win in Knoxville to play a fired-up division rival. But that’s when you come to your senses and realize that Kentucky is, as someone said, “dog vomit.”
The Wildcat offense has looked surprisingly decent after a pitiful performance in the first half at Louisville. And then you realize that they’ve played against the Cardinals’ scrubs, Texas State, and Mississippi State since then.
This looks like a Gator blowout, of course, but I think 23.5 is a lot of points to be giving up, especially in this series. Florida will win this going away, but they might take their starters out earlier than usual, what with that murderer’s row on the schedule beginning next week.
Florida - 38, Kentucky - 17
If Hal Mumme couldn't beat the Gators, what do you expect out of this guy?
