Thursday: no action as of now
Lean towards the points as Clemson has struggled on the road at GT. I know that's in the past, but Clemson was supposed to win a lot of those games and didn't. If it gets to 11 points, I will bite.
Friday
#305 TCU @ SMU over 63.5 (2)
TCU at 2-1 and 0-3 ats. TCU at 2-1 on the O/U
SMU at 2-1 and 3-0 ats. SMU at 0-3 on the O/U
TCU scoring 46 ppg and giving up 34 ppg. (40 ppg total points average)
SMU scoring 25.3 ppg and giving up 25 ppg. (25 ppg total points average) line is close (65) a little edge
offense
TCU #40 in rushing offense at 215.7 ryg and #11 in passing offense at 356 pyg.
SMU #20 in rushing offense at 244.7 ryg and #53 in passing offense at 254 pyg.
TCU 5th in total offense at 571.7 yards per game.
SMU 28th in total offense at 490.7 yards per game.
Both teams can move the ball and can score the points.
defense
TCU #86 in total defense at 406.3 yards per game.
SMU #83 in total defense at 403.3 yards per game.
Pretty poor defenses in my opinion.
TCU #63 in rushing defense at 148,7 ryg and #99 in passing defense at 257.7 pyg.
SMU #69 in rushing defense at 151.7 ryg and #95 in passing defense at 251.7 pyg.
It looks like to me that both teams should be able to expose each others weaknesses on defense.
TCU should pass at will while SMU should run at will.
Punting net:
TCU #55 averaging 38.2 per game.
SMU # 101 averaging 34.8 per game.
Poor punting good field position in most cases, or, teams going for it on 4th down sometimes because of their poor defense and poor kicking game.
The total has gone OVER in 5 of TCU's last 6 games when playing Southern Methodist. (like it)
The total has gone OVER in 4 of Southern Methodist's last 6 games at home. (like to see one more Friday)
The total has gone OVER in 8 of TCU's last 12 games on the road. (combine this with the trend above and I like it)
These two teams are battling for the Iron Skillet, so I don't think this will be a conservative game from past history.
Saturday: Quite a few leans and really need to narrow it down.
Does anyone think Bama will crunch Kent this week? I think Bama (Saban) sees Louisville, Ohio St, Michigan, crunching their opponents and have a feeling they just might run it up this week. Kent St on a 2nd string QB and are really having a down year so far.
