my first thread in NCAAF on CTG, lets try not to do terribly here, at least for the first week.
1) Rutgers -4.......I'm absolutely sold on the fact that this team deserves to be ranked. I watched this team play twice this year, vs North Carolina and vs Illinois and they literally dominated both of those games from beginning to end (although Carolina scored late to make it a closer game then what it was) Rutgers can run the ball as well as almost any team in the country IMO. Ray Rice might be the best RB in the country that NOONE has talked about, leading a team that averages 203.8 YPG. Throw in the fact that USF QB's have thrown 6 TD and 6 INTS in there 4 games, and I think this is a rather easy pick.
Being ranked should stoke this team enough to overcome being on the road.
2) Texas A & M -2.............Simple writeup for this game, TAM won this game 2 years ago when it was played at Kyle Field , arguably one of the TOUGHEST placest to play a college football game. I KNOW what TAM will produce at home, I'm betting this side based on what I've seen from Tex Tech this year, this team was humiliated by TCU on the road. The turf runners will be out of there element for this game at College Station. Throw in Stephen McGee's 167.4 passer rating and 6/0 TD to INT ratio, and this will be a tough O for Tex Tech to stop.
Texam A&M allows ONLY 127.5 yards per game passing this year, and Tx Tech cant run (less then 100 per game average)
3) Ohio St -6.5........Sooner or later people will realize that Iowa is OVERRATED. So far this year they blew away Montana (who cares), struggled to beat Iowa St at HOME, and had to fight for survival against Syracuse on the road ( i thought syracuse actually played better that game). Tresse, I dont believe, will let this team come out slow like they did against Penn State, I see him scoring early and lettign the D handle what will end up being a majority passing attack late in that game.
Ohio St is 10-0 ATS in there last 10 games, Iowa hasnt covered a game yet this year.
4) UAB/Troy UNDER 41...........From what I've been reading, UAB is suffering from a lot of random injuries, the Miss St game really took a lot out of them. I think I would love this pick more if i knew more about Troy, but I did see them play a tough game with Florida St. Both teams QB's are careless with the ball, Haugabook especially. I really see a 10-14 game here, with lots of running and lots of time moving.
UAB is 4-0 on the UNDER this season so far and the last 2 times these teams have played, totals were 34 and 29.
5) Boise St/Utah OVER 51.5.......Both these teams have scored a slew of points against weak opponents, now we'll have to see how they do against one another. I unfortunately havent gotten to watch any of Utah this year, but i LOVE watching Boise, and after seeing that Hawaii game I'm pretty positive that this will end up somewhere around the same score.
The OVER is 12-3 in Utah's last 15 overall
Thats the rundown for this weekend fellas. wish all of you the best of luck and of course commesnts are always encouraged
