#1 Posted: 9/5/2012 5:15:04 AM Weekly CFB Notes:
Clemson Tigers: O-Line stepped-up big in their opener against Auburn. Will this continue? I believe so. Love their conditioning in the 2nd Half especially with their up-tempo offense. The O-Line and Defense will be the key to their success. If Boyd is able to sit back- they are going to be dangerous with Watkins and Hopkins running all over the place.
Florida: All I got to say is the play-calling for this team was absolutely horrible to watch. They better adjust quickly; however, I just don't see Driskel as a solid QB. The Gators are lucky that A&M's game was cancelled this past week.
Oklahoma: Every year, this team comes into the season with hype. And guess what, they always underachieve. Always been telling people, this has to be the most overrated football program in the nation. I am thinking this year will be no different. Landry is not an elite QB and this year, he has no playmakers (sorry no Broyles).
Baylor: Really surprised to see how this team debuted against SMU. SMU's Offense is decent but the Bears D showed some promise. QB Nick Florence played outstanding as well. I was thinking I would see a decline; however they proved me wrong and on my radar.
Syracuse: Their Defense sucks! Will be pounding the Overs for their games this year. Thinking USC can cover the Over by themselves this week.
West Virginia: My favorite team! Will definitely make noise; however, their Defense will need to step-up during big games. Geno Smith, Tavon Austin, andStedman Bailey are playmakers at its finest!
Ohio State: Love em' or hate em', but one thing is for sure and that is Urban Meyer is an excellent coach. He got this program on track for success. Looking for big things out of them this year. Will be on them a lot this year.
Oregon: Against a shitty Arkansas State Defense so you cannot really say much, but WOW, they look absolutely flawless. They will give USC a run for its money. Will speed be the kyptonite against the prima donnas? They should just change the conference to Pac-2 already.
Iowa State: In my opinion, they are one of the most underrated teams in the country. They are solid on both of sides of the ball and I would not want to play this team at their house. Will be on them alot this year.
California, Colorado, Houston, Maryland, Minnesota, Penn State, Pittsburgh, and Stanford: No comment needed. Gameplay speaks for itelf. Will have to think hard before betting on any of these teams.
Week 1 did not offer too many good matchups to analyze the teams by. These are just my opinions from the games I watched this week. You may agree or disagree, this is what makes sports a whole lot more entertaning. Some people might say this might be an overaction, especially since it is only Week 1. However, great coaches prepare their teams well. Week 1 shows where teams stand with regards to preparation. Some teams are ready to roll, whereas some teams will need several more weeks, whereas some teams are just plain overrated. Let me know what you guys think!
Good Luck to Everyone!

#10 Posted: 9/5/2012 2:49:47 PM I find it comical when people talk about Oklahoma the way they do. How many teams that were 30 pt spreads covered this week??? Zero I think. If underachieving is not winning the NC every year than yes OU sure does. Name ONE team that has won more games since 2000. Is winning the Bix XII not considering a BIG GAME. How many teams have won 10+ games in 9 out of 11 years. OU is never a good bet on the road especially laying a lot of points. Their offense looked bad because they lost their starting center and guard their best two O lineman and have basically one WR. Oklahoma gets hype every year its because they are win 10 games and the Big XII almost every year and when you do that you are in the NC picture. Its extremely tough to win the NC its why evey year its a dog fight. One game doesnt make a season and OU is going to struggle if they dont get those 2 WR back because Stills can'd be one man team the entire year. Like I have said injuries and new qbs at the start of the season is a great way to bet against big favs. Stanford, Houston, OU, Florida all big favs that never had a chance in covering. |

#21 Posted: 9/6/2012 1:57:51 PM Thursday Early Leans:
Pittsburgh (+5.5) vs. Cincinnati
Pittsburgh vs. Cincinnati Over 49
These are just my LEANS for today. Have to do more research. I said it would take a lot for me to bet on Pitt but I am just not liking Cincinnati's QB. Thinking Pitt RB Graham should have a solid night. Will lock in my final play(s) closer to kickoff.
Good Luck to Everyone!  |
