Write Ups

Wisconsin- 21- Wisconsin has big hopes this year and will be relying on a high powered offense as they wait for the defense to come together. UNLV has a big rebuilding job and is in the process of changing their offense from the spread to a traditional offense. I don’t see the rebels pushing Wisconsin off the ball and not score enough to keep it within the number

Colorado st +12 the Rams are looking to atone for last year’s season where they were not able to win in conference and had a rough season. The buffaloes are playing out the string as they wait for a new coach to come in and move to the Pac 10. I like this game to come down to the last minute and for the rams to have a chance at the SU win.

Nebraska -37.5 This is a darkhorse national contender in my opinion. This is a big number but I think the 2nd and 3rd teams will keep scoring for the huskers and cover the number against an undermanned team with a head coach making his debut.

Oregon St +12.5- TCU is touted as a national contender however I have not seen them step up consistently against top teams. Oregon St has a lot of talent and if they can pressure the TCU qb Dalton then I think they can slow the frogs and have a good shot at winning.
Miss St- This is another team primed for a breakout. Memphis has a regime change and will show the effects of recent poor recruiting.

Cinci +2.5- This is still a very talented team and they brought in an underrated coach who should be a long term fit for this program. Fresno St has slowly but surely lost their luster over the years and I think Cinci has a big edge in talent and that will show up tonight.

Miss St- This is another team primed for a breakout. Memphis has a regime change and will show the effects of recent poor recruiting.

New Mexico +35- no where to go but up for Los Lobos. I think they will be improved and able to cover the big number…barely.
