Well, not the best start in the world for the opening weekend. The opening weekend is all about assumptions and whether you got them right or wrong (excluding bad and good luck). For instance, I assumed Stanford would have made a concerted effort to be more aggressive and effective offensively. Wrong!
Oh well, here are a couple of look ahead spots for Saturday. Official picks will come out Friday night or Saturday AM.
Western Mich -5 vs Georgia Southern- The Broncos head coach is becoming a hot commodity as him team played well vs.mighty Mich St. I like the Broncos to keep pushing and get a win this week. I need to do a little more research on GA So but Broncos may be one of those under the radar teams to keep an eye on.
Buffalo +20.5 vs. Penn St- Wow Penn St looked bad. Certainly credit goes to Temple but hard to see the Nittany Lions scoring the 30+ points you usually need to cover a 20 point spread.
Colorado St +6.5 vs. Minnesota- The Gophers hung tough against TCU. However I think this is a tough spot heading into the altitude against a team that still has swagger left over from last year.
Boise St/BYU under 55- Looking at Boise's conservative offense and BYU's qb situation along with the importance of this game to both team, I am looking for the under here. I won't be surprised if both coaches slow play this one and try to win in the 4th quarter.
SDST/Cal over 61- Looks like Cal could be a scoring machine this year. Not much to be learned from SDST's first game but might need to ride Cal overs for a while.
Oklahoma/Tenn over 61- The Vols were explosive on offense and were not real impressive on defense. Oklahoma should be able run on them if BGSU could.
Some teams I will likely parlay in a money line parlay are Mich St, So. Carolina, Air Force and Cincinnati,
Will be back with the official plays at the end of the week.
