*** College Football Breakdown 2013 ***

Cannot argue with any of your reasoning Bookie - good job.

I like ULM +23 because in addition to ULM being a good Sun Belt squad, I think OU takes a step back and could be looking at a 7 win year.  I also think Vandy regresses a little while Ole Miss is clearly on a roll and has better overall talent - like Ole Miss a lot.

In general, I like betting in Weeks 1 and 2; while it's well documented that big chalk covers well early on because talented teams beat up cupcakes to preserve/enhance their rankings, I especially like to bet on teams that have a lot of returning starters including the QB (at least 13/14) against teams not returning a lot of starters especially when not returning their starting QB (10 or less). There are some exceptions such as if one is a team like Alabama where the depth is so great they are plugging in lost 5 star talent with slightly younger 5 star talent, and I don't have exact stats, but anecdotally it seems the teams with many returning starters/QB cover in this situation Week 1 much more than not, regardless of the number. I've not lost money betting this way weeks 1 and 2.

GW

hey boom-

i'd like to hear what you think of the SEC east. its really a three dog race (uga, uf and sc) but the people who think uga is gonna run away with it seem to over look that they have lost their entire d. your thoughts on those three?

also what do you think of my vols this season and butch in general. i like the hire though anything is better than dooley. week 3 at oregon could be a long night.....






GL to all

Hey Dugie...........


Here is my SEC East Predictions


South Carolina              10 - 2  BC     7 - 5 WC
Georgia                         10 - 2 BC     8 - 4 WC
Florida                           9 - 3  BC      7 - 5 WC
Missouri                         8 - 4 BC       6 - 6 WC
Tennessee                     7 - 5 BC        5 - 7 WC
Vanderbilt                       6 - 6  BC       4 - 8 WC
Kentucky                        5 - 7 BC        3 - 9 WC



A few thoughts on this side of the conference. South Carolina is the best IMO. Georgia is a very close 2nd. Winner of that game wins the East, simple as that. Florida is a garbage can as usual. This is the most over hyped team year in and year out. EVERY year this team is garbage. When Urban was there, they were very good. Since..... Straight garbage. Come on in Florida homers. Please tell me how good you are then after you get done telling me tell Louisville the same thing. I called that game SU. As a 14 point Dog I called for a straight up Louisville win. Why? Garbage can university AKA, Florida got showed up for who they really were.

 Vanderbilt takes a step back, sorry Vandy fans, the " 9 " win seasons only come......well, once in a lifetime. Back to the bottom of nobody gives-a-garbage. Tennessee will get better, hang in there Vols fans. Butch is a good hire. Missouri might actually be the most improved team in the East this year. Looking for a SEC East sleeper? Look here. Kentucky who?



Dugie I will do a Tennessee write up for you later




SEC West predictions to come along with all the other " MAJOR " conferences.      

 

you Called Florida Garbage LY  and Bet Your Covers Life on Your ACC Champion Florida St Seminoles and  how did that Pan out ????

 

I do however agree that Missouri goes Bowling this season ...Might take a nice step forward in year 2 in the SEC ....

 

Double I know you wait for every moment that I post. Begging for knowledge you simply dont have....

See the difference? Every post I make you are there to comment on it. I haven't opened one of your threads in several months    WHY? Garbage.

SEC West


Alabama                     12 - 0 BC            11 - 1 WC
Texas A&M                 11 - 1 BC             8 - 4 WC
LSU                            9 - 3 BC              7 - 5 WC
Ole Miss                     8 - 4 BC              6 - 6 WC
Arkansas                    8 - 4 BC               6 - 6 WC
Miss st                       8 - 4 BC               6 - 6 WC
Auburn                        7 - 5 BC               5 - 7 WC



A few thoughts on this side...

Alabama is the best still and until proven otherwise they are the champs. I do think they wont be as good as last years team defensively but they will be better offensively. Johnny Football and A&M is very interesting. I know that most think he will come right back and do the same things, not so fast. He is great dont get me wrong. But the funny thing is that if this kid played in the Big 12 last year then he wouldn't have gotten the respect he deserved. Why? Hello SEC nation and the brain-washers EsecPN. Whether you want to believe that or not is your decision...but it is fact. Dont be fooled by LSU losing all those defensive guys to the draft. 9 I think it was, you know, the great defense that Clemson drug up and down the field. Yeah. 32 first downs to 9. Doubling them in every statistical category possible. Yeah. LSU will be fine, they have great players and will play with a chip on their shoulders. I'm not ready to believe in the Ole Miss revolution just yet. Yeah they did improve and I like their knew coach. But overall, they are still along way away. Don't believe me? You will, most always come around to in the end. Arkansas is a team every one thinks is gonna straight tank. Again, nonsense if you believe the garbage being thrown everywhere. Will they be great? No. They will be better then most think tho. Miss st is about the same every year since they reached what I believe is their " peak ". Go look at their schedule every year and you will see that they beat alot of bad teams and never win any good games. Auburn is still rebuilding and will continue this season. I like Gus and think he leaps and bounds better then Gene ever was. Any of you that knows me knows that I called Gene out for several years on here as a bad football coach, still think im wrong? Don't see any teams beating down his door for a job.        




ACC Up next
 

 

get over yourself

Lets just Focus on Making Money

and NOT on you being a Liar or Welch

 

 

boom boom, why are you still here? can't even keep your word, pathetic

Boom great stuff in this thread...

Here we go.... no more distractions from clowns.

Champion - Alabama

There is this team.......................then everyone else. I love how other teams from this conference love to " Carry Pride " off of Alabama's accomplishments.. LMAO. Guess what boys, When Alabama has a parade for their NC... they dont mention you. Sorry.

ACC


Atlantic 

Clemson                         12 - 0 BC                    9 - 3 WC
Florida st                         11 - 1 BC                   9 - 3 WC
Maryland                         9 - 3 BC                     6 - 6 WC
Boston College                7 - 5 BC                    5 - 7 WC
Wake Forest                   7 - 5 BC                     5 - 7 WC
NCST                              7 - 5 BC                     4 - 8 WC
Syracuse                        6 - 6 BC                     3 - 9 WC 



This side IMO comes down to one game as it does in the SEC east every year here lately. Clemson / FSU. Last year I predicted that FSU would beat Clemson and they did. Mostly IMO because of the home field advantage. This year is no different. Clemson is more talented IMO on offense then they were last year and that could be scary. Boyd is a great QB who will be a Heisman finalist. But the thing about Clemson this season is defense. This team will be solid defensively and like I tell you guys all the time it's about depth, and Clemson defensively has developed depth on the DL and on all 3 phases of the defense. So in short, I think this is a really good team that is a legit national threat.

FSU has a guy named Jamies Winston and if you dont know him, get ready. This guy is big athletic and has a big time NFL arm. IF he gets some early season confidence, this could be something to watch. If anyone is looking for a  " surprise " this year, look for Maryland. This is pretty good football team. C.J Brown comes back from not playing last season with a torn ACL. The best skill guy in the country that not many know about is Stephon Diggs. This cat is crazy explosive and can make people miss in a phone booth. I really like Maryland and if there is a major upset in the ACC this season I could see Clemson slipping there. BC, Wake and NCST could all be the same team IMO. Throw them into a bucket and your gonna get the same results almost every time. The only team that is clear to me is Syracuse. I think this team will struggle with the transition. They will be better for it, but overall a struggle.



Coastal later...........      

Hey Boom Clemson goes into Cuse this year that game worries me a tad. i agree Cuse will be bad but Clemson doesn't play often in domes. Clemson wins but that game could be a scare. Just my 2 cents

Like that Wake Forest squad ... should be some nice value there ...hoping for Over 5.5 on the season win totals

in the Coastal ...Virginia is a Mess ... London might not last the season ... wow did they bring in some vet. coaches . O'Brien, Tenuta, Fairchild .... Looking at the schedule 3-9 sounds about right ...Nice under on the season wins!!!!

Shocked to see you so high on Maryland

absolutely. I think since it's a early season game....Syracuse really at a point where there whole season is " ahead of them " .... Clemson doesn't play in a dome, yeah. Lots of reasons...


But dont forget this. Syracuse has not seen speed like there gonna see from Clemson. This team isnt like anything they have seen before.

boom never said Cuse would win just saying could be a trap game. Clemson should win and most likely will by DD

Hate to be an a$$ boom but enjoy clemson football this year because i saw Clemson's opponents in ACC hoops not looking good. ACC hoops will be awesome.

Just my 2 cents though will worry about hoops when its hoops time

Boom

 

          Good stuff Boom..I dont think Florida  really cared about Sugar Bowl much like when Bama got routed vs Utah.I just dont know how u call a  team that beats a good LSU,FSU & embarrasses Spurrier's Gamecocks plus defeating the #5 TeaxasA&M on the road garbage.I dont care if Muschamp losse his defense 2 deep it will be good and Qb is only getting better,but great analysis of SEC-ACC.Great assessment of MissSt..peaked...Is Dabo ever gonna beat Spurrier again..I mean ever?

Don't take this the wrong way.... but this is the idiocy im talking about when it comes to the college football fans. When any team from that League gets beat.... there is always a reason to why they did....

If they would have beat Louisville it would have been because they are the mighty SEC.... if they lost, it's because they don't care. Cant have it both ways

Every time they get smacked it's a excuse.


All I heard was how LSU would destroy Clemson....People told me that Clemson hasn't ever seen a team like this... Blah, Blah, Blah... But when Clemson drug them up and down the field it was....oh, well LSU didn't care about that game.


WTF




Would a SEC fan step up to the plate and agree with me on this cause they know good and dang well Im right

your right people on this site are hypocritical but what can you do just separate the homers and irrational people from those who are more interested in hitting at least 70% and making guap.  i went to michigan and fucckin love my wolverines but i wont make up excuses for their ineptitude or poor performances

that being said if we werent so dam conservative and ran the ball every 1st and 2nd down 2h of the ohio st game last year we easily could have won...one of the worst coached halves of hoke football i've seen

Boom still hates Florida like they are Alabama….

Coastal

Miami                       10 - 2 BC           7 - 5 WC
G.T                           10 - 2 BC          7 - 5 WC
N.C                           10 - 2 BC          7 - 5 WC
V.T                            10 - 2 BC          7 - 5 WC
Pittsburgh                  8 - 4 BC            6 - 6 WC
Virginia                      7 - 5 BC            4 - 8 WC
Duke                          7 - 5 BC            3 - 9 WC



The Coastal is a crap shoot every year and nothing changes this year IMO. I like Miami to win it, but they could finish as bad as 4th. Who knows with this side. Miami is real contender IMO, I think so. I think they kick the year off by beating a vastly overrated Florida team in week 2 and Morris has the potential to be a dark horse for the Heisman. Duke Johnson is the real deal people and if you didn't see him much last year, put it on your College football bucket list this season. Wow and explosive. G.T is about the same year and year out. Start strong and limp to the finish. I think Paul Johnson is a wonderful coach but if he doesn't start to recruit better he will be out the door. It's clear the guy is trending down in recruiting. V.T IMO, is Florida's twin brother, overrated year in and year out and there gonna get the doors blown off them by Bama. I'm not sure the will survive physically after the Bama game. Logan Thomas might be the most overrated QB in the last ten years of college football. Top Ten Draft pick? IMO, he would be 3rd on the depth chart at most places. The defense will be pretty good and keep them in games, but the offense better start to figure it out or could be another long season. Pitt is gonna have a tough time adjusting IMO as they kickoff the season with FSU, good thing is it's at home on Labor Day so they will have some momentum plus FSU is breaking in a new QB, so alot of positives for them in that game. I think this game will actually be much closer then most think. I like Mike London but his guy might be looking for another job pretty soon. Hey, here is a hint London.... Don't schedule Oregon. There gonna beat you like rented mule. And well of course, Duke is Duke. 




Next the Big Ten??

As for the Champion - Im taking Clemson. This team is a legit threat and IMO the Class of the league.

Great info as always. Love watching Baylor spread people out and run the quick slant personally. Stanford...the headache to my Trojans...lol. Cant argue there, the Tree are just way too disciplined to let up on anyone. Cant wait to watch your Tigers. Venables still there??? Good luck this year Boom...f×ck haters.
