man i love this game...
Georgia (35') - this is a mismatch of styles as buffalo has been rolled by good running teams and i suspect the defense will be addition by subtraction...Bulldoggz own the trenches here i see a 45-3 type score...
WVU (-22')- last offseason was a soap opera. 2nd year in the system for QB smith should be more stable. the wvu defense swithing to a 3-4 and it seems like a good fit. wvu cruises to 44-10 type score.
Cal (-15')- i can't pass up a game like this, why? because i have seen it before from the bears. at home, wk1, new stadium, revnege, blowout.
FYI - Stanford game moved to friday.

LSU 41.5 N Texas
Motivation, superior talent at every position, mettenberger, shut down D (no pass, no run, no score, no cover). I know LSU has had O issues in the past and Miles is a fruitcake, but in this particular game, Miles will let them run wild until at least 50 points have been scored. N Texas brings in a 2 star sophomore QB without their all time leading rusher Lance Dunbar. Like I have said, if this were anything other than week 1 after being humiliated by Bama, with 42 point chalk, it would be a pass. I personally think LSU would strive to cover whatever the spread would be. Though these coaches and players claim they don’t care about the spread, I guarantee they know what it the differential. Spread may be a degenerate way to even the playing field, but some of these coaches and players were consider it a benchmark of expectations. In addition, I think this will be a coming out party for Mettenberger. He will throw for 4 TD’s and launch his own Heisman Campaign. Don’t worry you LSU skeptics, that boring game will score several TD’s itself, and if The Honey Badger has improved his coverage skills, maybe add another by taking it to the house. Again, lots of chalk, but considering the circumstances and talent differential, this is my #1 play of the week…

Georgia 35.5 U at Buffalo
MOTIVATION - UGA coming off 2 straight losses, demonstration that uga can win without 4 suspended starters, murray's Heisman launch, need to be hitting on all cylinders prior to @Missouri in week 2, uga recent home ats as favorite, buffalo recent road ats as dog...AND THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL WORLD WILL BE FORMALLY INTRODUCED TO HS 5 STAR RECRUIT KEITH MARSHALL WHO SHOULD RUN FOR MORE THAN 100 YARDS. With the suspensions and loss of IC, the spread should be no more than 32

*Notre Dame 14.5 Navy
The Public always backs Notre Dame, but if dufl et al posters are any indication, there is some concern with n. dame. my only concern is the qb situation, if bk rotates, 2 or more QB's then this will not be my 3rd play. N Dame won 56-14 at south bend last year. I don't think it will be a blowout like that in Dublin this year. N Dame crucified T Miller last year. I have heard he has gotten better, but this is still run first and often navy. Manti Te'O, the Samoan version of Ray Lewis at LB, N Dame will at least slow down the disciplined attack. Before last year, N Dame was 1-3 straight up and 1-3 ATS with most of those in the Weis era. As someone pointed out BK is a real asshole, and the Fighting Irish playing in front of the Irish in Dublin will want to make a statement to start the season which calls for an extremely tough schedule for N Dame. This should be N Dame's easiest game along with Wake Forest and Pitt. If they struggle in any way. If they don't cover a 14 point spread, they will lose 6 games with their schedule. I think Cierre Wood will carry the burden at RB and Riddick and Eiffert will make up for the loss of Floyd.
Closer than last year, but a N Dame cover.

this is a good thread...everyone has a different opinion, but ithink we are all starting to get serious about vetting our picks. Mhy picks aren't final. they won't be final until probably the week of, but this is my perspective now.
specificallly, I was high on Nebraska at -14...I am sure they will dominate, but for some reason I don't trust them...someone tell me why i should trust them up to -17.5? Thanks in advance...
