I think Navy at home runs it down the throat of ECU and wins the game....ECU gave up 180 rushing YDS to DIV 2 Townson in week 1 and while they played Florida tough they could not run the ball and may have blown their load in that game....Going to be a tough prep and physical draining game for that ECU "D" here...Navy is a solid team who has won 7 out of their last 8 games and the one loss came from Notre Dame when they lost by 10....Real team - real talent will put up a lot of points here.
2 Iowa ST @ Toledo......Iowa ST is not a good team at all....I dont care about the CONFS in this match-up at all..Had Toledo not beat a good SEC Arkansaw team I would still love this game but now I like it more...Toledo has 2 good QBS and a great O line and some athletic guys on D who are fast..Dont care if RB Hunt is out, that O line vs Iowa ST will create holes an overweight elephant could fit through.....I see a blowout in this match-up...44-14
3. Pitt @ Iowa........I am just not big on PITT this year and I really like Iowa QB CJ Beathard...He may prove to be one of the top CFB QBS in the nation...Unreal arm and a dual threat...Iowa "D" has not played bad but has not played a real powerhouse yet and PITT is not that...I see Iowa taking care of business at the crib.

USC has so much talent its sick.....They now finally havee some deth now something which they lacked in the last few years......Cody Kessler may be the best passer in the country and Stanford aint keep up with them......31-14
Texas +6.5. $200
Yeah Jared Goff and CAL has a great offense.....I bet on them last week and won $200.....Jarred Goff probably is a Jacsonville Jaguar next season....But their defense , when tested seems to get lit up and will do so here at Texas...I think Texas wins this one SU 28-24.
Texas ST -3 $400
This game is @ TEX ST who may have the best QB in their CONF in Tyler Jones facing a Southern MISS team that makes breaking news if they win a game....Texas ST won 7 games last season and only had one bad loss....I love TEX ST here to ROLLLLL.......45-17

Yeah man, so many of these college games are won in the trenches...O-Line VS D-Line........Majority of these QBS can throw an accurate ball when they have time to throw....And the NFL draft tells us that RBS, for the most part all created equal....Last year was the first year in quite sometime where 2 NFL teams thought a RB was worth a 1st RD pick...The O-Line is what makes these guys go...If the D-Line can put regular pressure on a QB / clog up the holes they have a shot at winning....Now if they can actually hit the QB and penetrate the line in the run game they will be holding that team to a low number.
ECU D-Line is rather weak while the NAVY team is built upon the O-Line, this Navy team gives teams like ECU fits with that triple option...And they don't hold, rarely see a flag on Navy who runs the helll outta the ball.
With Shane Carden gone I just don't see ECU keepin up with Navy...He was a special QB and may have kept it close. I like Navy to cover easy
Stanford's "O" struggles in this spot against a ferocious D-Line and LB core that is USC, they are good, have been, but now loaded with depth....Stanford has lost a lot of NFL talent last couple year....I like Stanford's "D" but Cody Kessler is just one of those guys who can take over games with his accuracy. Very special kid / player. My pick for Heisman and I am not a USC Homer and would love to see a defensive player or O lineman win it some year....USC is just so good everywhere and CANT WAIT to see the USC UCLA battle this year.

I don't have any good reasons or numbers to back up this play....Texas was owned by Notre Dame and were outplayed by Rice but somehow won that game and scored 42 points in about 14 minutes..Thats sick...Rice controlled the the ball for 3 QTRS of the game but gave up a punt RTN and a Fumble REC RTN.......TEX "D" is very strong (no pun intended) and a lot better than CALS....I think I am getting a team who is overdue to play a good game, with a better defense, at home, getting points and although Charlie Strong has only been in TEX a very short time those kids love him and know he may very well be gone if he dosent take them to a Bowl game...This aint MICH or Florida where the kids and directors call the shots...They love their football in Texas and its controlled by big booster, big oil, big corps...If Charlie don't win 6 somebody is getting fired and likely Charlie himself....This is huge game for the Longhorns and I think they get it done.....(dont get me wrong tho, I want the points, no ML here for me)

This is the pefect play at the perfect time....Charlotte was projected to be one of the worst FBS programs coming into the season...They were not a very good FCS program last year...In week 1 they were an underdog to GA State who won 1 game last season and pulled out a victory...Last week they played Presbyterian, an average FCS team and played well taking them to a 2-0 record..That 2-0 record should not justify this line being under 3 TD's....Those are very bad teams compared to a middle of the road FBS team....Mid-Tenn won 6 games last year in CONF USA and is much better at every aspect of the game than Charolette....There is a huge talent gap here....Last week they played against Alabama and put up a better fight than Wisconsin did against them in week 1...Not that they are better than the Badgers but they are a tough, gritty team and are also capable of putting up a lot of points....They have 2 QB's who are very talented...Last years starting QB Austin Grammar threw for a 65% completion rate and had over 3000YDS of production but lost his job to Brent Stockstill who has some serious arm talent.....Mid Tenn. will win 5 or 6 more games and could go to a bowl game and Charlotte I believe has already gone over on their total team wins projection with 2 and will not win another game this season.

First time betting on U-Mass ever and probably have bet against them on average of 2-3 times per season since joining the MAC......Odd play here for me considering I have been high on Temple, hitting the ATS and ML in week 1.....Also I have 8.5 units (check) on the Temple over for future season wins (7) .......To me this is a scary game for Temple, U Mass 4 YR SR QB looked really
good last season 3300 YDS 23 TDS, they have WR Tajae Sharpe who had
1300 REC YDS and will be in the NFL next year...2 FR RBS returning
as SOPHS who combined for over 1000YDS and have all 5 O- lineman back blocking
for everybody....Just have a gut feeling U-Mass puts up at least 21 here and while I love that Temple "D" they dont strike me as a team that will be putting up 30+ on any kind of regular basis.
