College Football Week 1

Back for the 2010 season. As always these picks are just for fun and always will suck.

Southern Miss at South Carolina (-14, 45.5)

The Gamecocks are one of my sleepers this year and they have played well early in the season under the OBC. Garcia should be able to throw for a few touchdowns and the SC D will hold Fedora’s bunch under 17. Tempted to go with the Under but I will take the Cocks and the over

Pittsburgh at Utah (-3, 49)

Death Spiral Dave loses this type of game all the time. Whittingham will scheme up Dion Lewis and the Pitt O, and Ute QB Jordan Wynn will build off a monster bowl performance. Taking the Utes and the under, giving the points

USC at Hawaii (+21, 54)

My boy Lane Kiffin got sexually assaulted by the NCAA with this absurd Reggie Bush probation. Now Barkley and the Trojan Dline is going to do the same to the Rainbow Warriors. Look for 60 from SoCal covering the over by themselves.

Arizona at Toledo (+15.5, 60)

Special teams will make the difference. Taking the Rockets to cover the spread in a high scoring game

Missouri against Illinois in St. Louis (Illini favored by 11.5, 54)

Illinois never wins this game in football or basketball. I have no freaking idea how the Illini could be favored. Take the Tigers and the over.

Northwestern at Vanderbilt (+5, 44)

Vandy lost their HBC a couple of months before the season, and they are going to have to deal with a wildcat team with the best coach in the nation. There has been a lot of positive chatter in Evanston about their new QB (Persa). The Cats play hard and will send the Dores back to their dorms in a music city funk. Cats cover the 5 and the over.

Purdue at Notre Dame (-11, 54.5)

New QB, new HBC, a D that has stopped anybody in years…..11 seems extremely high. But the Boilermakers are awful. Taking the Irish to cover and the over.

UCONN at Michigan (-3, 54)

Randy Edsall’s team is good. RichRod’s team is bad. UConn and the under.

Washington at BYU (-2, 56.5)

Excited to see Locker in his second year under Sark and the Trufant kid playing CB will be a 2012 first round pick, but BYU in Provo and with an experience D will be too much for the Huskies. A new BYU QB will keep the score low and so I am taking the Cougars and the under.

Oregon State at TCU in Arlington, TX(-13.5, 50.5)

I think the Beavers will ultimately be fighting it out with Stanford for the PAC10 championship, but I don’t think they have enough to win in Texas Stadium against the Frogs. But the Rodgers brothers will have some highlight plays that will help the Beavers cover the spread. Take the over.

LSU against UNC in the Georgia Dome (Game OFF the BOARD)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Boise State against Va Tech in DC (Hokies getting 2, 50)

So excited for this Monday Nighter. Love the Hokies backfield but don’t trust them to keep the ball out of tyrod taylor’s hands against a Bronco D that returns 10 starters. Basically, I can’t go against Chris Petersen with 9 months to prepare for a team. Can’t do it. Taking the over and buying low on Kellen Moore’s Heisman campaign.
