Josh Pate picks Miami to win

Advertisement
this defense hasn’t given up more than 27 points this year. That 27 was ole miss. And they played 3 top 10 scoring offenses. 3,5,10 to be exact. Overall we played 8 of the top 25 scoring offenses and none of them were able to crack 30. So all this blowout talk is kind of funny to me

I don't have a real feeling about him one way or the other. Just some information for those who put stock into whether someone is a mush.

I hear you. According to his playoff picks, the info indicates we have a 1/3 shot his prediction will hit. Rather be on the other side.

He hedged worse than Gabby does the A&M game. Took us because of the spread vs OSU, picked them to win.

He’s a big SEC shill lately, always given us our flowers though to be fair. I do also think the closer this gets to the game, more media types will pick us. You’ll have the mouth breathers like Will Compton picking IU big, but if there was a prop bet on who Saban picks, I’d sell all my assets he picks us.

But I put little in what Pate says on the field. Always says safe answers and just leans towards a metric. I think his SEC ties are gonna bleed into this pick. A strong Big Ten is bad business for him. Them winning three in a row would bother him badly.

He’s a big Dan Lanning fan. Killed him last week.

Hes not wrong. He's smart enough to realize that when our team is on, we are difficult to stop.

His big thing is if we run for more than 150 yards, we should be in good position to win. He's probably right.

...Personally speaking, this feels like a "Whomever gets to 27 first wins" game.

No, Indiana ain't dropping a 50 burger on us. We are NOT Oregon.

I love our chances. Our guys have been forged, bloodied, and have fought their guts out in the post season. Indiana hasn't been tested in awhile; and they might start to believe their own hype. We'll see about that 7 hours of practice a week.

is he going by his usual prediction model?

Pate is the king of talking without really saying anything. Hedges everything and doesn’t stand on business besides his horrendous attempt to flex with bama over Indiana.

I actually think we play the best game of the season and we beat them comfortably.

Honestly it’s the way I’m leaning. Has Miami put together a complete 4 quarters yet? We usually have 2 dominant quarters, give a quarter completely away, and push the last one.

It’s due for a complete 4 quarter *** kicking.

I agree with your post with the exception of Indy not being tested in a while. The B!G CG between Indy and OSU ended up 13-10 Indy. So that was a pretty big test for them

He picked TAMU and OSU, didn’t he? I don’t care if he picks for or against. I just don’t like what he turned into. His ‘model’ and his ‘views’ completely overrate the SEC. Like most others. As far as I’m concerned, this guy went from the rare college media guy who tries to push substance to click baiting. But, you all support him. I’ll mind my business.

He lost me when he said he never went to Bloomington this year. How do you not go see this IU team that was destined for the playoffs after beating the duck.
