I'll go first, 
Bama -11...... Offense is no joke, Mccarron is overlooked. Lacy is a big physical back. Returning 7 starters on offense. Michigan may not score more then 10 points, not to mention the wolverine Defense is a SIV( don't know what a "SIV" is??? Look it up my fellow degenerates. 35-10 RTR.

did you just tell me to look up "SIV"?  just out of curiosity... have you tried looking up "SIV"?


funny shit!


anyway, regarding the game... sure can't seem to find too many people who like Michigan... other than the people who have already bet this game down from 14 to 11...

I agree.  This game is a mismatch at pretty much every level.

-12 Bama favorite as your lock?? Highly questionable...I could see michigan keep it within 7 to 10 points, At Cowboys stadium, ALL THE PRESSURE ON BAMA!! MAYBE A 1 OR 3 UNIT BUT LOCK??

Id say WV -22 Over Marshall, because there is no stopping WV offense and Marshall cant put 6 good plays together!

yeah, i was going the other way with that one... if Bama beats the pants off of Michigan, there will be good value on UM in week 2...

Actually, I'll throw two out:

OKLAHOMA vs utep
-Awesome Off: We all know Big Stoops doesn't mind a good beatdown
-It's vs a Texas team
-Defense will be much much better. Stoops is right were he should be Def. Coord. 
-I'm sure he'll have them fired up to show a new attitude. I expect them to give up a few points maybe 10 or so.
-Don't think OK offense stop until around 50. Add in a few quick turnovers.
55-10 or so

mich at ALABAMA (neutral)
-unless Denard turns in to Barkley this game will be a snoozer 35+ to 6, Bama slow methodical don't run it up but will score points on a really tired and worn down michigan front 7.
-it won't look bad but will be a cover

agree with Bunny... OU is probably the best bet of week 1...

i actually expect to see 60+ points from OU in this game... they will score on offense and defense...

I can get on board with OU, this may be one of those," 70 -3" type outcome games! Let's do it,Bunny!!!!!

No such thing as a lock but the best play IMO is Bama anything under 14

I wouldn't bet on UAB if it was with your money or if they are playing a mini-midget team!

fucking LOVE it!  imo, probably the best bet on the board... they will run it up against sorry ass Rice and Beans!


and let me add... Bama is not the best play for week 1... it may cover, but there are games that are in the 80%-90% range, and Bama most definitely is NOT one of them... get that through  your head fast, and move on to other games...

note, UCLA's last trip to Houston was a 2011 week 1 loss to University of Hosuton...under mora, a talented and motivated team, will return to houston for a quasi revenge game against Houston based Rice...if UCLA gets good qb play, it will get ugly fast.    I like this play as well...

 Apocalypse, in post number 12 you said " OU is the best pick on the board"  now you say UCLA is the " best" pick on the board. I guess what I'm looking for from you is, Your "bestest" pick then...
