Arkansas @ Vanderbilt
9/16/2006 7:00 pm
In a week with two huge matchups in the SEC, this may be the best one to be on. Arkansas is coming off the blowout by USC and the ATS loss to UTST, despite the impressive shutout victory. Vanderbilt is coming off losses to Michigan and a tough defeat by Alabmaba. While Vandy is jsut trying to prove that there is life after Jay Cutler, this game is HUGE for Arkansas. I still believe they are a good team that will do some damage in the SEC, and a lot of great teams ahve been blownout by USC lately. They will come ready to play and focused into Nashville and get their conference season off to a good start. I see teh offense getting well into the twenties with teh Commodores cscoring around 10.
Pick: Arkansas -6 (-105)
Risking 2.10 Units to win 2
Colorado St. @ Nevada

Nevada finally gets a home game and recieves a visit from Colorado St. While Nevada's defense hasn't shown much in two tough road games, I beleive they will turn it around at home. Nevada should be able to run on CSU and the offense should control the ball and put up some points. I think CSU will also score, but in the end their tired defense will not be able to stop the wolfpack with the crowd at their backs.
Pick: Nevada -2 (-110)
Risking 2.20 to win 2
Michigan @ Notre Dame

I am sticking to the idea that Notre Dame is overrated this year and I think Michigan has a great shot at this game. I liked what I saw vs. Vanderbilt and it would ahve been a blowout if not for a few drops. This should be a clsoe game and I think ND comes back down to Earth. I am also on this play because of the line movement and the Wolverine love from a lot of trusted cappers. I will continue to watch this line and If I get teh oppurtunity to get 7 or more points, I should add on.
Pick: Michigan + 6 1/2 (-115)
Risking 1.15 to win 1
