Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. I was on the wrong end of an "emotional" game years ago when I backed TCU at SJS when SJS was honoring their special teams player that had his leg amputated b/c of an infection he got after an on-field injury. SJS, as a big underdog, won outright. Tonight, the same sort of situation is happening with Memphis. Seldom-used, but much-loved Memphis player, Taylor Bradford, was shot and killed Sunday night. The players voted to play the game despite the killing and win in honor of Bradford. I for one would never bet against a team playing for a falling teamate (again); and it also helps that Memphis is only a 2 1/2 point favorite over a very bad Marshall team that hasnt won on the road in quite some time (and is also winless on the year so far). Memphis is the better team and MUCH more motivated. This game will be a rout.
Memphis -2 1/2 (***)

why does the 6th man like mizzou so much? are the tigers good enough to overcome pinkel's stupidity and win by a TD?
The Sixth Man explains:
"Nebraska is a fraud. Iowa State racked up 451 yards on them in Lincoln, this after USC manhandled them in Lincoln. The 'black shirts' are more of a light pink. MU's offense is nearly unstopable, expecially now that they are fully healthy again. Also, MU has been scheming for Nebraska for 3 weeks. It is a night game in Columbia and the crowd will be jacked. MU will take it to Nebraska and win this game going away. I LOVE Missouri."
