Feel like FSU and Baylor should crush their opponents. Put heavy confidence points on both of them

[diabsoule]

I like both FSU and Baylor too.

Why is this in the Off-Topic and not the College Football thread?

[Shane P. Hallam]

I think Washington pulls off the upset myself. Not sure Baylor will be quite up for it.

I'm liking FSU too. The game is being played in Orlando, so it should be a heavy FSU crowd. I like FSU's defense and I think they have the DBs to contain Floyd for most of the game. Outside of him, I don't think ND has a lot of offensive options. Their QB is shaky too.

oooooooooh. I like the balls behind that call.

Everyone probably thinks there will be some major RG3 magic in the air. Tell me more about why you think Baylor won't be up for it. :)

I like Washington and ND with the points.

Oh yea? Impressive! What line did you get for each game?

Dog day, huh? Must hear why. I'm intrigued by your thoughts.

I think Polk's running ability will keep the game close and then Washington wants to be there more than Baylor.

As for FSU/ND, everyone thinks FSU is going to blow ND out of the water so I like to take the opposite. When to many people like a game it's always best to go the other way.

I like the thinking on the Washington call. Baylor's defense sucks, especially against the run. But Washington's defense sucks too. We all know how good RG3 is on the deep ball. I'm still undecided on that game.

I don't know if everyone thinks FSU will blow ND out of the water. The line is only 3.5. Do you think it will be a high scoring or low scoring game?

I'm thinking high 20's low 30's for each team.

4-5 TDs or 3-4 TDs and some FGs for each huh? I don't know if I think that. FSU's defense is 4th in the nation and Manti Te'o, Harrison Smith and Robert Blanton have a chance to shine here.

[prock]

I'll take FSU and then I will take Baylor winning the game, but the points go to Wash.

[D-Unit]

7-0 Notre Dame. Crapping my pants now... I took FSU half -1, FSU game -3 and Under 46.5.

[Giantsfan1080]

I might have had the score to high but I still expect my original take the ND points to be correct.

.

How do you even measure Washington wants to be there more? That is a terrible rationale for picking a team to win. I expect RG3 to be highly motivated and looking to cement his draft stock.

Mostly because Baylor is such a highly ranked team while Washington finished with a mediocre record in the Pac 12. I'm not saying Washington will win but I like them enough to take the 10.5 points.

[D-Unit]

Lose the half. :(

Under 46.5 looks safe.

Hopefully FSU bounces back in the 2nd half.

With the right gameplan, Washington can play ball control, score, and keep the ball out of RG3's hands. We shall see :)

Baylor does have a pretty porous run defense. I just hate to go against a QB like Griffin who is chomping at the bit to raise his draft stock.

Washington usually plays strong 1st half defense, but they tire fast. I think once that happense RG3 could go nuts.

That UW QB Price is the wild card. If he can pass, then I think UW has a strong chance to cover the spread.

[D-Unit]

Game over. Loss the half, won the game, won the under.

Only took Baylor -10 here. No other calls.

[Giantsfan1080]

I seriously underestimated how bad ND's QB play would be. They totally crapped the bad in the 4th as always.
