If your going to post a POD post a stat, a trend or some info that will educate people as to why you made your pick the POD.<P>If you need suggestions, read my PODs for the last few days. Albeit 1-1 I made strong cases for my picks.<P>This forum is heavily visited, and there are many lurkers, let's show them why this is the best forum around bar none.<P>I compliment you folks whole heartedly, let's continue to kick butt.<P> <P>FREAK

16-3 ytd in this forum. <P>Miami -6 <P>Miami has more playmakers and team speed on offense and defense. I look for Miami to run up the score on Spurrier.

florida+6.5 butch davis is the norv turner of college football, look for spurrier to completely outcoach him. florida wins 27-23.

nba<BR>San Antonio -6.5

Miami -6<P>The Hurricanes are flat out "Gator Haters" and have been for some time. They will be motivated beyond belief. Miami has quality wins against 6 bowl teams, with their only lost to a great Washington team early in the season. Gators lost to Miss State and barely won against Tennessee.

miami -6..Troderick just about said it all

SPURRIER WILL OUTCOACH OLE BUTCH.<BR>MIAMI MISSING THEIR D COORDINATOR, NOT GOOD WHEN YOUR FACING AN OFFENSIVE GENIUS LIKE SPURRIER. FLORIDA ALWAYS PLAYS REALLY WELL ON THE ASTRO TURF AND I WILL BE PLAYING THIS GAME ON THE MONEYLINE<P>FLORIDA+200

Blues -.5 +115<BR>The Blues have lost just once in their last 15 games (13-1-1). The Blues are 5-2-1 in the last eight meetings and have won four straight on the road in the series.

Finally back, home sweet home <BR>Miami -6

NBA...NJNETS+7<P>CONSENSUS PLAY

Miami -6<BR>Miami's defense too much for Florida.

Bowl<BR>Mia ov 58

MIAMI -6 over Gators

Let's talk smack ok.....<P>Bettin on Florida and Miami FL this year has been really profitable.<P>Combined 17-5-0 that's a tremendous ATS mark considering the spreads these teams have to cover.<P>Florida averaged outscoring their opposition 37-20 this year while Miami was even more impressive 43-15<P>Florida averages 419 total yds of offense while giving up 346<P>Miami averaged 461 on O and gave up 334 on D.<P>Here is a case again of hearing about the Miami D and yet Florida only gave up on average 12 more yards. Does this sound familiar???<P>Sure it does, let me refresh you on Tampa Bay and Philly.<P>Now the difference here is that Philly was home, neither team has home field advantage here period.<P>Turnover margin Florida + 19 Miami + 12<P>Now lets break the #'s down further shall we...<P>Florida O averaged 111 on the ground while the air attack was 308....<P>Miami D Gives up around 113 on the ground which is close to Florida's O total.<P>Via the air Miami gives up 221. So that's a big drop off of what Florida normally does.<P>It appears Florida has their work cut out here via the air.<P>Now Miami on the ground averages roughly 195 yards and that is quite a bit.<P>Florida gives up on average 133 yards. So Miami is going up hill here as Florida via the air.<P>Miami O via the air attack 266 yds while Florida gives up around 213. Again up hill for Miami.<P>Something will have to give here. Although Floridas D #'s are staunch to Miami's OFfense they give up 20 points per game which is quite a bit for a Defense that ranks in the upper part of the country.<P>Let's examine here....<P>Florida gave up 26 points to MAC Western Michigan, 27 to Central Florida, 40 to Alabama, and 30 to Florida St.<P>Now I can understand Florida St, but the other 3 helloooooooo....<P>Now they did score 40 against against Ball st, 55 vs Middle Tennessee State, 59 vs Kentucky, 43 vs Vanderbilt, and 41 vs South Carolina...<P>Now only South Carolina has a defense and well those other powerhouses well.... ok you get the picture...<P>Now they did give up 31 to Ky, 47 to Miss St, and 30 to Florida St...<P>I don't know here, Fla St ok... the other 2 nahhh<P>Let's talk Miami<P>They played power Mcneese St and scored 61, 29 vs Washington 47 vs W. Va, 64 vs Rutgers, 45 vs Temple, and man on and on... <P>Only team with a d they played this year was Washington and Florida St they went 1-1 losing at Washington..<P>ON D well.... Washington scored 34 Florida St 24, and LA Tech 31.... who LA TECH???<P>It's true the SEC was the better of the 2 conferences bar none.<P>The bottom line is this......<P>Florida defense is suspect.....Miami will exploit the run tonight big time. Miami can pass as well, and I take you back to the last game Florida played..... Auburn, what did they do run run run, and of course turnover city.<P>Miami wont be turn over city tonight, their defense will pressure the QB into at least 2 int's tonight and 1 fumble, and I would say 4 sacks. Heck that could be just in the first 1/2.<P>Miami covers the 6 1/2 and gives their fans 1 more day of a chance at a split.<P>

mimi -4 2nd half, running game working.<P>Miami -4 2nd half.<P>Best of luck to ya.
