Hey Guys,
Just joined the site and really enjoy it. Have had an excellent year to date, so I thought I would jump right in and post my picks. Would love to hear whatever thoughts anyone has. As an FYI, I use a scale of 1-5 units.

YTD: 23-12
YTD units: +22 units
La Tech @ Clemson (-34)...5 units
and
La Tech @ Clemson (-19) 1st half...5 units
This game has all the makings of a big-time blowout. Clemson has quietly become the best team in the ACC, and doesn't appear to have a problem beating lesser opponents to a pulp. Clemson has an incredibly strong running game, churning out huge numbers last week against UNC, but more importantly they were able to get 136 and 151 @BC and @FSU on back-to-back weeks.
La Tech just so happens to have issues on defense. The only times they have played teams close to the level of Clemson, they have been completely blown out. Nebraska racked up 252 yards on the ground (5.2 per carry and 584 yards overall), and A&M had 489 yards of total offense, with 153 coming on the ground (4.5 yards per carry).
Clemson will roll big time in this game. They should run at will, and that usually spells blow-out. I expect Clemson to score in the 50 point range, which should give them an easy cover.
Georgia (-16) @ Ole Miss....4 units
I got on this line early, and glad I did because it has really climbed. Georgia isn't nearly as bad as they played last week, and I think that shows this week. Cox really gave the Bulldogs a lift when he came in and replaced Stafford, and I expect UGA to put up considerably more points this week than they did against CU.
With a re-energized offense, a chip on their shoulder from last week, and playing an awful Ole Miss team, I think Georgia wins by closer to 28 than 17.
More to come later...
