Well I'm always around these forums, but time to get this bitch started off right. Plenty of games from Thursday-Monday with college n nfl games...narrowing down a solid teaser should be relatively easy. All leans right now, will post final card as soon as I place it....7pter as of now
THURSDAY
NC State +2
*Lets face it, the Spurrier experience hasn't worked out. They have an okay QB with Garcia...but he's turnover prone. They return only 4 starters on offense and were 107th in turnover margin. I'd like to see a lower number when going on the road to face this Wolfpack squad looking for revenge and Wilson was rock solid all year
Oregon/Boise UN 71
*Going to the smurf turf is never easy, and I'd think it would take a couple drives for the Ducks to get acclimated and with a total this high...1 slow quarter is all we need. Something to look at...yes Boise went to Oregon last year and won, but they had a 24pt 2nd quarter and Oregon threw in a 19pt 4th quarter to make it respectable. Go a little deeper, of that game BSU loses it's top 3 receivers (10 catches, 242yds) from that game and leading rusher (19att for 40yds)
Troy PK
*Troy is always at the top of the Sun Belt they have a solid defense and have no issues scoring points. BG on the other hand does own a potent offense, but have new faces everywhere on defense. Shootout is their only option to win..and I think Troy will stop them enough to take this.
FRIDAY
Tulsa -6.5
*I don't see Tulane staying anywhere near this number...if Tulsa is ready to roll out of the gates they could put up 50-60 on Tulane in a heartbeat. Like this number at -13.5 as well.
SATURDAY
Penn St -19.5
*As the lions work out the kinks of the offseason they may start off slow...but this game shouldn't be close. Don't see how they don't win this by 3 TD's or more.
Minnesota/Syracuse OV 40
*Minny's protection alone will probably get them at least 4 TD's as they pick apart the weak Orange defense. I expect Paulas to play a little better than what some may expect...if I can get 17-20 from this offense their defense should allow me to get there.
Alabama +0.5
*Their offense wont be as good as last year, but their defense should have no issues keeping the Hokies under wraps. I don't trust Taylor on the road, and no way I back him on the road going into an SEC house.
That's it for NCAA so far...gotta go over NFL n CFL lines
