SC Season Wins O7 (1-0) 3.6 to Win 3.0
**I have a 2unit play on FSU-1.5 pending from WK1.
I got it taken to me in WK1, nothing else to say. Poor decisions made by myself on which games to actually bet. Maybe the long summer gave me too much time to think and over analyze games. Large favorites like that usually are not my style, I thought it was easy money in wk1, it was anything but.
Here is to turning things around in wk2. No lines out yet but I added some predictions to where I think they will be on the games that interest me. I prob won't be close at all.
I need to narrow my list but when the lines come out, I am sure that will help make my job easier.
Navy vs. RU
What we learned in WK1? Navy has some issues on defense. Temple was able to score 19 points, pass for 200yds, and keep the game relatively close. Versus a similar opponent to Temple, RU was able to blast Buffalo which comes as no surprise. This game reflected a long scrimmage for the Knights rather than a game. A guy like Underwood who had all but 290yds total last yr receiving, picked up 240 and 2 TD's vs. Buffalo which gives you an idea of how bad their pass defense is, more on that later. Ray Rice was Ray Rice. On defense it is hard to tell how good they were, Buffalo looked lost on offense. Last yr the meeting resulted in a 34-0 win for RU in which the QB, Hampton went down in the first Quarter..That game, Navy was held to a season low of 113yards rushing. Navy was able to pick up 360yards on the ground this weekend and passed for just 78. RU has experience vs. this option attack and should be prepared to stop it. The Navy defense that returned just 3 starters heading into the season looks a bit weak this yr. RU-17
WVU vs. Marshall
WVU is going to be laying a large number and that is fine, the backup duo can put some points on the board as well. This in-state battle should get ugly quick. Marshall has nothing on offense and they were absolutely abused by the rushing game from Miami. That means nothing but trouble here in WK2. Last years game resulted in a 42-10 win for WVU. Marshall lost their best defensive player before the season started. WVU should be able to roll by 40+ here. WVU-31
Nevada vs. NorthWestern
I have had my eye on this game for a little bit. Nevada defeated NW last yr at home in a game they had little business winning. Nevada won that game 31-21 and they were +4 in turnovers including a pick 6 in the final minutes. They allowed NW to rush 37-246yards in that contest. That should not change as we head in to week2. Nebraska totaled 624yards and 412 of them came on the ground. Those numbers are mind numbing. NW played a tuneup game with an inferior opponent and took care of business. Make no mistake about it, they have revenge on their minds in WK2. Nevada is now 15-18 on the road under Chris Ault versus 31-5 at home. Nevada also has some struggles on offense without former QB Jeff Rowe running the pistol. NW should roll the wolfpack at home here. NW-4
Buffalo vs. Temple
Yes, I have a serious inclination to bet this game and most likely will. I can't say that I will watch it though. Buffalo looked like 12yr old school girls vs. Rutgers and their pass defense is a complete disaster. Temple was able to throw the ball some on Navy and they should be able to throw the ball on Buffalo who allowed open receivers to roam free all day. A rematch of an OT battle last yr, Temple has revenge and a win on their minds. Buffalo who won a thrilling 9-3 game appears to be not as improved as Temple is this yr. Temple should have some value here and they should win this game. Temple -3
Utah St vs. Wyoming
Utah St had every opportunity for a win last week vs. UNLV and they let it slip away. Wyoming could potentially be in a little bit of a let down spot since they just avenged a loss from last yr vs. a BCS school but at home they have been tough (15-9) under HC Glenn and they beat the piss out of Utah St last yr (38-7). Is Wyoming's defense that tough, holding UVA to 108 total yards and 6 yards rushing, or is that UVA team that bad on offense? I think it is a combo of both but Wyoming defense appears to in good shape heading into week 2. I think Wyoming -17 will be the line or something around there.
NC State vs. BC
This is an ass beating waiting to happen. NC State, so unpredictable as always, started off the season in great fashion, losing to UCF. NCST who beat a ranked BC team last yr at home now must travel up to Massachusetts with their coach who is not welcome there. Everyone knows the story behind the HC change and well BC does not think very highly of NC State right now. They opened the season avenging one loss from last yr, this week they look to avenge #2. The offense is going to score a lot more points this yr as they put the offense in Ryan's control. BC attempted 52 passes last wk, last yr they were throwing 30-40 times a game and there will be less conservative and safe calls on that side of the ball this yr. Ryan, who opened the game vs. Wake with a pick and a 14-0 deficit, never panicked, remained calm, and led his team to a strong victory over Wake. BC-13, I think they win by 17+.
Fresno St / TAMU
If you are going to bet Fresno St, this is the type of situation you do it in. The school with "little mans" syndrome has been stroking themselves the whole summer for this game. They didn't blow Sac St out of the water like they prob should of in week 1 but that is a typical Fresno team for you. They do get their panties wet for BCS teams. They played Oregon and Washington extremly tough last yr. They played Oregon and that famous USC game in 2005, in 2004 they beat Washington and KState. They come to play vs. these type of school and TAMU just does not do it for me. They won 38-7 over Montana St in Wk 1 but that is just blah. I think Fresno gives a very good effort here, just need them to catch enough points. Fresno +10.
UAB vs. FSU
I don't have to watch the Clemson game to know that no matter what, FSU beats the crap out of UAB. They are near the bottom of the bottom this yr with one of the worst rush defenses in all of college football (D1,D2,D3) and they are very poor on offense. FSU will likely hang 45+ on them and that will become routine vs. this poor UAB team. FSU -31
Missouri vs. Ole Miss
I think Ole Miss is very very bad and they were very very lucky to win the game vs. Memphis. They are poor on both sides of the ball and they will not hang with Missouri here, even at home. Missouri defense did not do much for me in the win over Illy but the offense did what was expected. They were perhaps a little lucky to win that game but in the end all that matters in the scoreboard. Missouri should be able to abuse the Ole Miss secondary very badly and this will lead to a lot of points. Missouri -13
ND vs. Penn St
I enjoyed nothing more on Saturday than watching the inept ND offense try to find anything that would work, including 3 different QB's. For an offensive genius, Weis has a lot of work to do. They were so predictable that it was not even fun trying to figure out what play they were running. You know that if Jones is in there, they can't throw and will look to try every type of option and fake imaginable. I think they used Jones because they knew the GT blitz's would come often and the other two QB's could not escape the pass rush. Eventually that approach which proved to be right, got very old and hard to watch. You know that if Claussen or Sharpley is in there, they are looking to throw the ball a little but the OL can't protect them so they are sitting ducks. Lucky for ND, the GT red zone offense was very poor in the opening half otherwise it might of been 31-3 before half time. Penn St must be licking their lips to return the favor for ND, who beat PSU 41-17 last yr. At home with a strong defense, Penn St is going to destroy a very bad ND team. PSU -17
BYU vs. UCLA, Under 45
BYU played very tough defense or was that Arizona who had a very poor offense? None the less, UCLA has a better defense than Arizona and should do a good job of keeping the offense under wraps and held to around 13 points or so. UCLA despite scoring 45points vs. Stanford and racking up 620yards in the process, won't find the same success vs. a tough BYU defense, especially 340yards on the ground.
Rice vs. Baylor
The good thing is that Baylor lost 27-0 to TCU so they won't be laying much here but one could argue they prob could. I thought Rice would be really bad this yr and well, they are really bad this yr. I think the number will be short here and Baylor should be able to win this game at home. It is not every day that you lose a game to Nichols St 16-14 and rack up 200 yards of offense in the process. Baylor -7
TCU vs. Texas
This is the chance TCU wants. This is where their Boise St hopes live and die as well. A win here and provided they take care of business in the rest of the MWC, they will have a BCS game in their sights. Lose and it is all but assured that Hawaii could steal that bid. I expect TCU to be very intense and motivated for this game. I have read some of the comments about the Arky St game and I am just very surprised by the result of what happened there. 21 points vs. that team is just odd, strange, and unbelievable. TCU +7
So Miss vs. Tenn, over 52
Ainge is good and his pinky is fine. The offense can move the ball but the defense has holes in it. Cal displayed some speed that was too fast for Tennessee and sure So Miss can't match that but they do have a legit shot at scoring some points here. I think that Tenn can get 40+ here and So Miss can touch 17+.
UTEP vs. Texas Tech
From everything I have read, UTEP looked terrible and were very very fortunate to come out with a win vs. New Mexico. The offense can not support a track meet and Texas Tech at home is tough(35-9) and they score a lot of points. Texas tech is 14-1 in their last 15 home openers and the average score is 45-16. These two teams battled in OT last yr when TT allowed 495yards, 375 of which came in the air. I don't see that happening this yr and have to think UTEP is in some trouble this yr. Texas Tech -14
Hawaii vs. LaTech
The Hawaii offense is going to dominate basically every team on the schedule. Brennan has shown no signs of slowing down and the WR's are way to fast for this LaTech team to contain. The good news for LaTech is that this game is at home. The bad new for LaTech is that they gave up 280 yards through the air to some team I never heard of. Yes this is a trip to the mainland and a far trip for Hawaii but they have shown improvement playing in the continental US and they know this season can be a special one. Hawaii -27
North Texas vs. SMU
The line is really going to depend on how SMU does vs. TT but they should have little to no problem beating North Texas who could battle for the Nation's worst team. SMU -28
Syracuse vs. Iowa, Under 42
Last yr was a thrilling game that went to 3 OT's, or was it 2? Whatever, what I do know is that 1)Iowa doesn't look much improved on offense and 2)Syracuse has next to one of the worst offensive game plans and play calling I have ever witnessed. I don't expect many points in this game, I just hope turnovers don't kill this total.
Va Tech vs. LSU
Sean Glennon is no good and the VT offense is in big trouble. Sure Miss St did a decent job defending LSU in the opening half but after watching the full slate of games this wkend, their performance was not as poor as others. ECU had a ton of success on defense vs. VT and LSU brings a much better team with a lot more speed to the equation. Add in that LSU does not lose at home at night and now the question is how many do you lay. LSU-8
Colorodo vs. ASU, Over 54
Colorodo looks a little bit improved on offense this yr, would like to see the status of RB Charles but they have huge giant holes on defense. ASU is going to try to attack with a balanced passing/running game that will be successful on their way to 35-40 points in this game.
Messy St vs. Tulane
Maybe you have to be crazy to lay points with MSU but that prime time performance from Henig should certainly help the line. This is a very important game for MSU, 1)because they lost to Tulane last yr and 2)because there are not many other teams they will beat this yr. The defense should be good enough to contain and shutdown Tulane for the most part. The offense should just give Dixon the ball 50 times. MSU -6
New Mexico ST vs. New Mexico
Just very interested in this game

Ryan, who opened the game vs. Wake with a pick and a 14-0 deficit, never panicked, remained calm, and led his team to a strong victory over Wake. BC-13, I think they win by 17+.
