CFB: 13-5 ytd
Saturday:
CLEMSON -3
The Nat'l champs have won 17 straight games and 7 straight road openers and they come into Death Valley as an underdog?
Thats a scary trend to fade but I'm going to do it here. Auburn was an underdog outright winner for me last week and in week one they barely survived Utah St. However,Utah St is a much better team than most give credit. Although Auburn pulled out the su victories if you look inside the numbers it is very evident to me they should have lost both. That pitiful MSU offense we watched last Thurs night outgained
Auburn by 150 yards at Auburn and everyone saw how they escaped Utah St. Auburn is just 1-7 ats against the ACC in their last 8 and should struggle in this hostile environment where Clemmy is usually pretty solid. Clemmy has won 43 of 56 at home and will be looking for revenge against this Auburn team that they should have beat last year up 17-0 only to lose in OT.
NEBRASKA -17
You won't catch me laying this kind of wood very often but Big Red will be ready to kill the Huskies in this one. Last year's Holiday Bowl defeat left a foul taste in the mouths of the Husker faithfuls and they can't wait for redemtion. UW comes in winners of two straight over
Hawaii and Eastern Washington. East Washington outgained UW by over 250 yards as a 16 point dog losing by just 3. Big Red has covered 6 of the last 8 against Pac 10 ers at Lincoln while UW seems to struggle before facing California covering just 2 of the last 7 in this spot. Look for Bo to hammer down and not let up until the final
whistle blows. Nebby has scored at least 40 in their first 2 games. They'll have no trouble scoring 40 again while UW will be lucky to score an appointment at the doctors office after this beating.
NOTRE DAME -5
Don't look into this one. ALL the trends and ALL the stats point to the road dog. This is strictly a situational play on a 0-2 home favorite thats desperately needs a win. If they can hang on to the ball I think they'll get it done.They have 5 turnovers in each of their last two games and still nearly won them. I hate going against all the numbers but there is more to handicapping than just siding with the numbers.Just
look the other way when you hit submit and hopefully we'll see you at the pay window when this one is done. HC Kelly desperatly needs this one.
OU SOONERS -3
Several schools of thought here and several different takes on which side to take .I won't bore you with another long write about it.
This play is based on the Sooners having a much better QB who is more experienced in these type games and having more talent than FSU. I know the main argument for FSU backers is the well noted road struggles OU has had in recent years. Well if my memory serves me correctly they have won 4 straight now on the road and after this one I should be able to say five.
