I feel like I have an opinion on every game this weekend and it has been very difficult for me to narrow my selection down. Anyways here we go.....
Hawaii -28 (thinking 4-5 units)
I like this game a lot for the simple fact that Hawaii can score. Maybe not against the greatest defenses, but they should score at will against LaTech. Brennan wants respect and his name mentioned in the Heisman race. He can throw like nobody's business and he should prove it against La Tech. Hawaii has something to prove for that matter. I think this game could be 28-0 at the half. Don't give me the Hawaii doesn't play well away from home to try and get me off this game, I'm going to need something a little more substantive than that.
Louisville -39 (locked in 1.1u to win 1)
Louisville should pound MTSU. MTSU was losing to FAU 24-0 till midway through te 4th quarter. Goodnight MTSU....thanks for the scrimmage.
Temple -3.5 (would buy the hook)
I like the way Temple handled themselves against Navy and while I didn't get to watch Buffalo, I listened to the game and they are terrible. I got hyped into thinking they could hang with Rutgers in their opener, but they suck. Hate laying chalk with Temple, but I might just do it.
WVU -24
Probably going to stay away from this game for the simple reason it's an instate rivalry. But honestly, who are we kidding, there's no rivalry. WVU will murder Marshall. The Canes beat up Marshall with their D, WVU will beat them with their offense.
Kentucky -12.5
Can Kent really hang with the Cats this year. I like this Kentucky team with Woodsen.
Rutgers -number got too high for me
Ok St -23.5
FAU is another bad team. Ok St. might try and take some of their anger out on this team. Don't know enough about the teams though.
Nebraska -8
They should pummel the deacons right? Why is this line not higher with Wakes QB out? What the hell is going on here? Is this a look ahead spot for Nebraska with USC the next weekend? WTF?
Maryland -23.5
I guess the consensus here being Maryland lost their number 1 QB minutes before the first game, and they have to play WVU on thursday night. So while it is entirely possible for them to cover, they may decide to take it easy because of everything else they have going on. Probably stay away here.
I'm flying out of Miami friday morning for Dallas. Picking up the big body Escalade and driving to Ok City with friends. Going to Norman the next morning for the UM v. OU game. Driving back to Dallas after the game and flying out Sunday afternoon. Should be a good trip and hopefully my Canes can pull out a win.
Lemme hear about the leans above, hopefully I can get luck on my side this weekend!
