They can put up some points and I see them getting to at least 21. That means the Badgers would have to get to 44. Even against that Gopher D, I think it's a stretch that they cover.

Boston College vs. NC State (-9.5):

Boston College has been having one heck of a time scoring and NC State is still on quest to convince people that they're for real this year despite last weeks choke job against VTech. NC States offense is too strong and I'm not sure what the identity of BC is at this point.

Illinois (+9) vs Penn St:

This figures to be lower scoring as both defense are pretty stout. Illinois has been fairly feisty so far and Penn St is inconsistent. I think Penn State at home should win, but by more than a TD? Don't believe so.
3-0 this morning fellas! I was very precise with my breakdown of the Min/Wis game and pretty good with NC State as well.

Missed my analysis of the Ill/PSU game, but won the bet...That's all that matters.

Round 2!

  
 
Alabama -6 (1 unit)
San Jose St. +38 (1 unit)
Oregon -36 (1 unit)

GL everyone.
 
This afternoon:

Oregon State (+8.5) vs. Arizona
Michigan St. (+4.5) vs. Michigan
Arkansas (-5) vs. Texas A&M
Clemson vs. UNC (-2.5)

I hope you're being sarcastic.
It's not that far fetched, the players got together and were like "lets beat them by less than the spread and make some money off this". Of course they're not trying to put their ranking in jeopardy.
 
Took MSU on ML... Hope they can keep Denard in check like they are for the whole game.

WTH is Bama doin tho???

the spread was only 7.... maybe if they were favored by like 24 points.....

Yeah man, I'm sorry, but get real.  You don't shave points in a 7 point game on the road when you're the #1 team in the country.
 
Ok I'm just paranoid after reading about the Sonny Liston- Muhammed Ali Fix. I hope Bama pulls through I know  and a lot of people here and I put money on them. 
 
you want a fix.....check out a unlv game if its the last game of the night and they're big under dogs.....they always cover
 
freakin bama.... i got them in a teaser with Notre Dame and Cal... both of those are lookin good...
 
Got backdoor f'd on both Wisconsin and Air Force.  Not gonna happen with TCU

Michigan St (+4.5) vs. Michigan:

I don't see any reason to roll with Michigan today other than Denard Robinson, but that's not enough for me. Their defense is horrendous and Michigan State is solid on both sides of the ball. They can get the few key stops that Indiana could not last week, but the selling point is that Michigan St. can control the clock on the ground and if it comes down to it, can throw the ball to keep the pace with Denard. MSU straight up.

Arkansas (-6) vs. Texas A&M:

Interesting stat I've heard. BCS teams coming off of a bye week only cover 50% of their games the following week. Texas A&M can be tough, but I would go against Arkansas only if it were actually being played at Texas A&M's place. This game is on a nuetral field and A&M's secondary is a bit suspect. Mallett will take advantage of both and get Arkansas back on track
6-0 so far today boys. My picks have been on point and going much the way I anticipated. At this point, I'm just hoping to let the good times roll.

This evening:

Oregon State (+8.5) vs. Arizona
Florida State (+6) vs. Miami
Northwestern (-8.5) vs. Purdue
Arizona State vs. Washington (Pick 'em)
USC vs. Stanford (-10)
Auburn (-6) vs. Kentucky


  
 
Taking some pre-season NBA action tonight for 1 unit each.

Charlotte +7

For the Bucks...no Bogut, no Salmons, no Maggette...see a rather low scoring game so gimme the points

San Antonio +7.5

No D Wade for Miami, and I think that while the Heat will be a good team, their lines will be over valued all year, even now

Phoenix +6.5

This line is bloated because the Suns got hammered badly in last game, Dirk isn't playing for the Mavs. Game is being played out doors and will be a TNT game, pretty big event...i think Phoenix takes it more seriously than the Mavs

You guys need to stay away from that game. Despite what you see on the ticker, Washington State has been playing much better of late and their QB is getting into somewhat of a rhythm.

Tack on Oregon coming off of that high versus Stanford, you might be surprised when WSU covers. Oregon will win, but I'd stay away.

I'm just sayin...
  
Since I'm on fire right now, I'll go ahead and reiterate that you heard it here first.
