New thread will run in three parts. Part 1: Last Week recap with early leans, Part 2: Early Plays on line movement, Part 3: Saturday plays with write ups.On recap 2 scores will be posted what i predicted. All parts will be ran on same thread, so you will have to go to last page for Saturdays plays...
You will notice i rarely play the marquee match ups due to the star power and media hype with variables. I think Dr. Lou is a complete moron (his record on ESPN past two years is more like 22-38, not what ESPN posts...I count and keep track.)
All unit plays are for 1K, also run a baseball thread under same title...All thoughts are welcome in thread and encouraged if well thought out...Good Luck to everyone on having a good season

Cinci -7 or 7.5 (.5U): Depends on where your book is..i have locked in at -7 id love to have it at 6.5 to avoid a push. Bottom line in this game will how the QB play on both side of the ball will be. Callaos will have to pick his spots carefully to avoid the TO and i see them doing it with a heavy work load on Pead who has looked great hitting those gaps. That should open up Callos and Woods to hit up down the field. NC State sports a new look with Glennon and new WR corp. Don't think they can set up play action to keep quick CB of Cinci off an inexperienced NC state WR corp. NC satte also will be playing w/o #3 Tackler in Manning (ILB) and #4 (DL) Sweezy is already out for the year and #1 Rusher from LY Greene still out with foot injury. Weather looking foggy and wet in Cinci for this one...Cinci 28 NC State 17
Syracuse -2 (1U): Interesting match up on an under achieving CUSE team that has overachieved past two years against the underdog scrappy Toldeo Rockets. Syr comes in with Anderson and Jones out which will hurt a somewhat shaky D squad coming off a good 8-5 year LY. Syr has looked rocky in the beginning this year..Toledo...Toledo...I like Toledo in the MAC and they return allot of starters from lst year's squad. I think the constant change under Center between Dantin and Owens is actually hurts the team. Toledo seems to move the ball better with a more dynamic Dantin under the gun. Toledo comes in with ?? in the secondary and wont have starting S (Singer) or top tackler in ILB (Molls). Syracuse holds a slight edge in the trenches with a bigger more agile OL than Toledo and solid under Center with Nassib who is looking better each year. Home filed Advantage, slightly banged up Toledo D and long drives give Syracuse the win...Cuse 28 Toledo 21..
UCF +3 (.5U): Im still looking at this one....BYU coming in banged up against a really good D, by far better than they faced in Texas, Utah and Ole Miss...Heap looked rattled against Utah and now is missing his RG (Reynolds) and LT (Mathews) not to mention some questionable on D. If the line stays or goes up...I'm froggy...still looking into the edge and trenches on this one..No predication at this time..

GT -6.5 (2U): That should get some haters going....Double my normal bet on Saturday....UNC has new look after scandal and embarrassment LY with an O sporting New QB (Renner), RB, WR and 2 OL. On the plus side UNC does sport one of the biggest OL (320 avg) in the ACC but they come in with Renner in 1st year who has not looked sharp in his reads nor progressions against rebuilding schools in Rutgers and Virginia. UNC comes in losing #3, #4 and #5 tacklers last year and now CB Price is ? for this game as well..That will put 3 (undersized) sophomores with 6 games starting under their belt to stay disciplined on the edges for a triple option attack. Good news for UNC is they have a solid, though small LB corp in Riddick/Brown but will have a newbie in Lipford covering Strong Side LB. UNC boasts size in the trenches but the rest of the team is small and undersized at their potisons...not 1 in the secondary is over 190 nor 5'10..GT here comes the bandwagon train.... averaging 427 yards a game...I know not against solid schools but only one was FCS...i don't care who you play 427 yards a game is a feat. And the Triple option is tough to defend, just ask #2 rush Defense in SC that gave 274 yards and 5.8 a carry to NAVY or look at Army banging out 404 yards against a decent SDSU D and averaging 326 yards a game..GT actually lost key players off the O last year (QB Nesbitt and RB Allen) and actually got better...Smith, Washington and Peeples are faster than last years crew..UNC does hold a slight edge in the trenches but they come in inexperienced and undersized on the edge to play a Triple option...I look for GT to control the edges and get some nice play action against the inexperienced UNC secondary...GT rolls with 300+ rushing yards and wins 34 - 17

Troy -12 (2U): Troy has won the past 5 meeting between the two with avg score of 34-13, 40-7 at home. Troy comes in with new WR corp and two new on the OL, but do have Robinson (QB) Southward (RB) back. The loss of the WR usually would scare me a little except that Robinson threw for 374 yrds 3td 1int (vs. Ark) and 258 yrds 1td 1in (vs. Clem) so clearly the ball is still moving. Troy has a huge advantage in the trenches with a big OL (308 avg.) vs. a very small but agile DL for MTSU (256 avg.) Troy will control the line of scrimmage and keep the pressure off Robinson to have a big day. They only concern i have with Troy is their CB's are Midgets and should be playing in High School...5'8 160 and 5'9 165 not exactly show stoppers....On the other hand MTSU had my vote early in the year until i found out how inept Purdue really is..They come in with only 3 starters from last yr D and one is already lost the for the season. To top it off starting ILB's Jones/Brooks are big ?'s to see if they will play. MTSU has a small D and mostly comprised of 4 soph, 3 freshman, 3 jrs with Jones/Brooks out..On the O Kilgore returns this year with most of the key players from last year but they have looked sloppy this year and only really scoring points at end of games...MTSU has Cunningham (RB) who looks ok but doesn't have any break away threat...Mcdonald 6'3 (WR) could pose some trouble for Troy against the midget secondary...Troy has too much O for MTSU to stop all day, not too mention they have looked good against Clemson and Arkansas considering they are a Sun Belt team only been Div I since 04'..I look for Troy to put up some numbers against a mediocre MTSU team...Troy 38 MTSU 13

WMU +12.5 (.5U): Seeing +12 to +14 on books here...im locked in at +12.5...Carder and White are the best QB/WR tandem in the Midwest...Hands down...The OL however is a concern although they are jumbo sized for a MAC team at 313 avg. and RT O'Niel is going to play in the NFL, mark my words on that...Look at WMU and thier style of attack is very similar to ASU, difference here is - the TO's from the QB. Illinois on the other hand im still not buying into. Scheelhasse is coming in limply after ASU game and still hasn't proven he can win games with his arm. Illinois does hav a Big OL as well (308 avg.) so on both sides the O has the advantage in the trenches. Illinois is very predictable and coming off 'a big win' more like ASU giving the game away and typically plays down to its competition. Jason Ford not having the success like Leshoure did pounding the ball, last week Ill as a team 45 rush attempts for 105 yards against a banged up average ASU D. Im not saying WMU is a D Juggernaut at all but they will have enough not give up big plays and keep the game within reach...Who wins this game will come down to the Illinois secondary who are SR laden and all over 6'1...if they can play solid man to man Illinois D could put the pressure on Carder with a limply OL...I am seeing a sloppy game with some mistakes that prevent the shootout everyone is expecting...Illinois 27 WMU 20 with it coming down to the final minutes of the 4th..

Utah st. -7 (1u): looking at a crappy Utah st against a mediocre Colorado St team that is one dimensional.. USU rolls 34 17

UCLA +5 (1U): Switch at QB will do a lethargic O good, Oregon st not looking good this year, although they get Rodgers back he is only one player...UCLA 28 OSU 14

Utah st. -7 (1u): looking at a crappy Utah st against a mediocre Colorado St team that is one dimensional.. USU rolls 34 17
Ark +11 (1u): Bama is good and today we know how good...bottom line Arkansas either sticks in with Good O to offset Bama's Good D...remember Bama's O is not exactly running on all cylinders here...ala 28 ark 21
UCLA +5 (1U): Switch at QB will do a lethargic O good, Oregon st not looking good this year, although they get Rodgers back he is only one player...UCLA 28 OSU 14
