Long time no see my gambling legion of loyal fanatics, College football season is upon us and Vegas and Bodog are cringing in fear as I am about to post my first picks of the year!! Without further delay here we go.........
Oregon @ Boise State -3.5 Tough game here for the Ducks, conventional wisdom says take the Ducks, but the line is going down faster than the strippers at Mons Venus. This game is huge for Boise State and their program. Also 87% of the public money is on the Ducks. Im taking the Broncos with the homefield advantage. Win.
Michigan vs. Western Michigan +13 Michigan is in disaray, I dont see them coming out fired up for this one given the fact they do not like to practice. I think Michigan wins this game, but not by 13, the line should be 4, but since its Michigan its not. The Wolverines have some talent, but Western Michigan QB Tim Hiller is no slouch and will keep this game tight. Loss.
Georgia @ Oklahoma State -5 I do not think that the Bulldogs can keep up with the Pokes high powered offense in Stillwater. Georgia struggled against Michigan State in their bowl game and have lost some key players. While the Bulldogs are good, the Pokes play in a hostile environment and a new QB will not fare well. Plus the Pokes defense is supposedly revamped, we shall see.
Win.
Virginia Tech vs. Alabama -6.5 I'm not buying the Tyrod Taylor hype, no Darren Evans for an already anemic offense, plus Alabama's stout defense, could get ugly for the Hokies. Alabama has alot of weapons and this game should be a mismatch. I was surprised to see the line at 6.5, I was expecting at least 14. Win.
Washington vs. LSU -17.5 This is alot of wood to lay on the road, but Washington is going up against a defense that travels well and Jake Locker while good isnt Tim Tebow. The LSU defense and ground attack will be too much for the Huskies. Loss.
Season Record is 3-2.
There you have it my friends!! Lets hope for a windfall of cash for kickoff weekend!!
