Saturday's Games and a Monday Special too

I am posting a bit early this week since I am heading to Myrtle Beach to play golf for the next three days.

By the way, if you are looking for another great site with interesting commentary on sports and some additional selections, check out http://dilsmusings.blogspot.com/. The articles are great and he also runs some interesting pools.

Saturday

Duke +4 over U Conn. I think Duke will get off the schide early this season and former HC Spurrier will keep giving them their one vote in polls. (Just another reason why the coaches polls are so stupid. He gives them a vote each season until they lose.)

Wyoming +3.5 over Virginia. Going to Wyoming is a long trip for a major conference school, unfortunately it will be the beginning of the end for the over hyped Al Groh.

Nebraska -21 (bought the half) over Nevada. With a real QB at helm this season, I am looking for the Huskers to be very dangerous.

Georgia Tech +2 at Notre Dame. The wrong team is favored here. Georgia Tech will be much better then last year and Notre Dame is going to struggle to hit 6-6 on the year. (Just like Florida and few other teams I will try to point out, ND is way overrated right now.)


Missouri -4 over Illinois. The Illini are getting better but this game means more to Missou team that is expected to do big things this season.

UCLA -17 at Stanford. Stanford has a new head coach, now they just need new players. So far UCLA is healthy and unlike last season they will hopefully stay that way.

TCU -20.5 over Baylor. Unfortunately Baylor missed the boat last season and their chance at respectability has sailed. TCU is one of the top teams in the nation.

(The analysis may get a little short since my laptop is running out of juice, sorry.)

Oklahoma St. +6.5 at Georgia. I just don't think Georgia is as good as the hype either.

Central Michigan +7.5 at Kansas. CMU is the class of the MAC and might catch Kansas off guard.

Purdue -6.5 at Toledo. Purdue has a strong offense and their defense has to be slightly improved enough to an inconsistent Toledo a few times in the Glass Bowl.

Oklahoma -40 over North Texas. An Oklahoma high school team might be able to win this game. I think Oklahoma puts up 60.

Monday

SMU +8.5 over Texas Tech. Finally some expectations for the Mustangs, they will be able to keep up with Texas Tech and possibly win.

Good luck this week!
