4-Unit Play. #173 Take Georgia Tech +110 Notre Dame (Saturday - 3:30 pm)

Let's not kid ourselves to actually think the Irish warrant being favored in this game. Yes, they are at home but that's about all they have going for themselves. Charlie Weis hasn't even named a starter, but believe me when I say that all three of his inexperienced options would not fair well against John Tenuta's ferocious defense. Remember last year how well the Yellow Jacket defense contained Brady Quinn. Well, against far lesser talent expect Tech to harrass Notre Dame's signal caller all game long. Conversely, the Irish's defense was horrible a year ago and it isn't much better. Tailback Tashard Choice will run all over them and help the Yellow Jackets control the ball and the tempo of the game. Notre Dame won't score 20 points in this one, and it will be the road Techies that come away with the victory.

2-Unit Play. #175 Take Missouri -5 over Illinois (Saturday - 3:30 pm)

The Illini have been labeled as one of the up-and-coming teams in 2007, however it will be hard pressed to see Juice Williams and company outscore the likes of Chase Daniel and the talented Missouri offense. Illinois is still a super young team and Juice Williams is far from a superstar; he will struggle. Meanwhile, Chase Daniel exhibited last year his abilities and he again will lead a sensational passing attack, using the tight end duo of Martin Rucker and Chase Coffman both down the field and in the short game as well. Mizzou has the defense to limit Illinois in this opener, and we'll see the defensive line help pull away in the third quarter, and a couple of deep balls to extend their lead to double digits. Illinois isn't there yet. Missouri had a year of success in '06 and this year they carry over to further improve. The Tigers take this rivalry game.

2-Unit Play. Take Mississippi/Memphis under 49 (Saturday - 3:30 pm)

These two teams are not offensively inclined. They both come in with quarterback question marks, as each respective starter seems to be somewhat of a weakness for their offense. One of these two will not have 20 this afternoon, and both could easily stay under, this game being a defensive struggle to the final minutes. Ole Miss will rely on BenJarvis Green-Ellis and the running game to stabilize the offense with a ground game, and Memphis will try and employ the same with multiple backs. Expect lots of punts and a field goal shootout at best. The under is the way to go in this one.

2-Unit Play. #205 Take New Mexico -3 over UTEP (Saturday - 10 pm)

The only reason I can come up for why the Miners aren't bigger dogs is because they are at home, and even then it doesn't make sense. If this game was in Albuquerque, the Lobos would be favored by at least a touchdown. Jordan Palmer is gone and UTEP has a boat load of work to do as they rebuild themselves as a winner. New Mexico, on the other hand, has the talent, specifically in the offensive backfield, to make this game not only a good cover but potentially ugly. Rodney Ferguson will carry the rushing load for the Lobos to the tune of another 1,000 yard season, while sophomore quarterback Donovan Porterie has unlimited upside and will wow at times. With two of his top wide outs back, look for a big effort from a New Mexico team that will put up 25-30 in their opener. UTEP is lacking playmakers on offense and their defense will get pushed around both through the air and on the ground. Also, don't laugh when you see an underrated performance by the Lobo defense, as ten starters are back. They are legit and will make some noise in the Mountain West this season. Tonight goes a long way to gain momentum for that run. Play New Mexico here.

5* Big East Game of the Week

GA Tech (+2.5) over NOTRE DAME by 7

First of all, if you are wondering, we include the independents, Notre Dame, Navy and Army with our Big East handicapping. In recent years, we had a group of games entitled Perception / Reality. The purpose was to find line value against teams that were over valued by the public forcing the line maker to incorporate public opinion into his opening line. Such is the case today. The Aura of the Golden Dome and the reputation of HC Weis as OC of the Superbowl champion Patriots leaves Notre Dame grossly overvalued in this opening day spot. Adding emotional fuel is the fact that Tech blew a 10-0 home lead before the Irish rallied behind Vet QB Quinn for an eventual 14-10 win. That was one of the few times that the Irish performed well against a quality opponent. In all, they went 2-5 ATS against Bowlers and were destroyed by the Big Boys LSU, USC and Michigan. Now it gets worse for the Irish. They have less experience than almost any other College team returning just 9 starters, only 52% of their lettermen and need to break in a new QB. It’s an inexperienced offense that will be dominated by the blitzing schemes designed by Tech’s DC Tenuta. On offense, Tech is improved as well. No longer are they held down by the “Chain that was Ball”. A vet OL will make the transition easy for new QB Bennett and talented RB Choice. The reality clearly outweighs the perception as Tech is superior on both sides of the ball. It results in what could be a surprisingly easy double digit victory today.



3* Wake Forest (+6.5) over Boston College by 1

Despite the return of 16 starters, including QB Ryan, the opening of the season will not be smooth for a BC team who’s transitioning from the loss of HC O’Brien to new HC “Jag”. Despite their run to the top of the ACC LY and 14 returning starters of their own including QB Skinner, the Deacons continue to get little respect HC Grobe is a master tactician who improved his defense to a surprising 3.1 YPR, 323 TY and 15 PPG. Meanwhile, the offensive ingenuity continues to baffle opponents. It’s a good reason why he stands 20-8 ATS as dog including a perfect 8-0 ATS in that role in the regular season last year. And it’s a good reason why we are looking to grab a TD with this quality dog and coach vs. a team transitioning to a new mentor.



3* Colorado St (+2.5) over Colorado by 7

As coach of Boise St, Colorado HC Hawkins had gotten used to double digit winning seasons. I’m going to guess this is not what he signed up for when he made the move to Boulder. Last year his Buffs went 2-10 SU with an anemic offense that averaged just 16 PPG and 291 YPG. Unfortunately for Hawkins, it appears this will be a minimum 3 year rebuilding job. He will be starting his son Cody at QB at the helm of a success starved passing attack. For Colorado St and the well liked Sonny Lubick, the fortunes have taken a turn for the better. After going 14-21 SU, 13-20 ATS the previous 3Y he features one of his strongest teams ever with 18 returning starters and 82% of his lettermen returning. At the helm is QB Hanie who will have running mate RB Bell returning following an injury plagued 2006. It’s well documented that Lubick has had his most success with a returning senior QB at the helm. In addition, 17 of their top 20 tacklers return to the defensive side of the ball. This defensive oriented series has seen the dog go 10-1 ATS. This time our underdog choice has both the better offense and defense. RAM IT!

Dave Malinsky

REASON FOR PICK: 4* MISSISSIPPI/MEMPHIS Under

With inflation across the board in the Totals for the opening week because of the off-season rules changes, it means an opportunity to find real value if a game has been pushed too far. This one certainly has.


Ed Orgeron talked about wanting to get back to a certain style of football when he took over at Ole Miss, and he has been true to his word, through not always for the right reasons. His first 22 games have played to a 38.4 average in regulation, and note that it was not just the rules that led to a slower pace LY – in his debut season in 2005 it was a 35.7. Only two of those games have gone over this Total, and both by the slimmest of margins, a 54 and a 53. Now his positive is that a couple of years of recruiting have fortified the DL to the point at which they go two-deep at every position, which particularly matters in the early-season heat, so that even without LB Patrick Willis this defense can again be solid. It is the flip side that is the problem for Ole Miss – the offense lacks both the designs to make plays, and big-time talent to execute them. It is no different this season, where they will rely on a veteran OL and the running of Benjarvius Green-Ellis to control the ball and work field position, instead of striking quickly.


So why all of the value here? Because Memphis has simply been misread. Yes, the 2006 defense was terrible, rating among the worst in the nation statistically. But a lot of that had to do with schemes of Joe Lee Dunn that were ineffective against modern spread passing attacks, which led to Dunn being fired in mid-season. Tommy West than made the awkward decision to go from a 3-4 to a 4-3 aligment right in the flow of the schedule, and that led to some real growing pains. But when no one was paying attention look what happened – on week #10 LY they held bowl-bound Houston to the #2 lows of the Cougar season in points and yards per play, with only a staunch Miami F. defense holding them lower, and in the finale they forced four turnovers and held U.T.E.P. to five rushing yards in an easy 38-19 win. Now a deep stock of talent builds off of that momentum through full spring and fall practice sessions to get comfortable in the new alignments, and we also see one of our favorite signs of a team on the rise – red-shirt freshman MLB Winston Bowens has beaten out former starter Heath Grant for the top of the depth chart. Adding that kind of athleticism is a major plus, and having the kind of experience Grant brings in a key reserve role helps the unit all the way around.


The first two Orgeron vs. West battles have gone down to the final play and we expect more of the same here – an intense physical battle that is nothing like the game that the oddsmakers are calling for.


This is a 4* at 49 or higher.

Play ON: #193 - COLORADO STATE plus the points
I am connected in Fort Collins and my friends there tell me that the attitude is as good as its ever been on the Ram football team. With plowhorse Kyle Bell back to power the running game and Caleb Hanie set for a breakout senior season, expect Colorado State to throw everything it has at its instate rival. Senior QB with revenge against a first-time starter at QB on the other side is a good angle. It gets even better when the senior is the underdog. Ram it!

College Football
Western Michigan +23.5 over West Virginia
There is no doubt that WVU will be one of the best teams in the nation this year. Slaton and White can score on any play, but the defense will be the real test in this squad. Western Michigan is one of the biggest dark horses this season. QB Tim Hiller threw 20 Td's and only 3 Int's in 2005 with a 65% completion clip and a pass rating of 178 before getting injured missing all of last year. The Western Michigan defense was 6th in the nation against the run and their secondary forced 24 Int's that is best for tops in the country. WMU has a great offensive line that does not allow their QB to get sacked. I am not saying that the Broncos win this game, but they will be respected. This should be closer than expected.

Oklahoma State +6.5 over Georgia
The Bulldogs only return 2 defensive starters and word has it they are not doing so well in camp. The offense was supposed to be the question mark, but now both sides of the ball are looking pretty weak. Georgia has a new offensive line and WR's that have butterfingers dropping everything in site. This team is supposed to be a powerhouse. Oklahoma State has a good offense with a duel threat QB. The Cowboys have 8 defensive starters back on a defensive unit that can only get better. The special teams are excellent for State and I would not be shocked to see an upset. This line sitting under a TD looks like a trap for Georgia backers.

Boston College -6 over Wake Forest
Wake was 7th in their conference and 9th in defense last year. Those stats should not make you a 10 win ball club. I truly believe Wake Forest was extremely luck and I don't think they will have the same success this season. Boston College returns a ton of starters from last year and are trying to get revenge on a 7 pt loss in which they out played the Deacons, but turned the ball over and were penalized more. The Eagles have a new coach and a new attitude. SR QB Matt Ryan should have this offense on track right away. Wake's luck will soon run out.

Colorado State +2.5 over Colorado
Remember in little league when the coaches sun pitched and played any position he wanted, but wasn't that good? The Buffaloes Cody Hawkins is a true freshman and is son of head coach Dan Hawkins. I doubt he is best for the job. This team also lost to 1-AA Montana State last year and were at the bottom of the conference in just about every offensive stat. Colorado does have a decent defense, but I don't think it will be enough. The Rams have an experienced QB and the WR's are deep. Coach Sonny Lubick never has returned this many starters and the get Bell back from injury last year to be a dominate running back again. The defense has their entire secondary back and seem more prepared to play in this game in which they did win last year.

CFB Statement Blowout GOM! (Early) 19-4, 83%

Scott's outstanding, 19-4, 83% GOM run is put to the test in this **EARLY** Saturday kickoff. Scott's releasing his STATEMENT BLOWOUT GAME OF THE MONTH! One side is ready to BLAST their way onto the scene and have found just the opponent to kick sideways! Grab the GAME OF THE MONTH as Scott moves to 20-4!

I'm laying the points with the Hurricane on Saturday. The new regime steps in and uses Marshall as a return-to-greatness statement. New HC Randy Shannon has been the DC at Miami for six years. And, lets point out that there was nothing wrong with the Hurricane defense last season. The unit allowed a miserly 256 yards per game. Seven starters are back on that side of the ball. Last season, Miami allowed just 67.8 rushing yards per game, a school record! And, since Shannon has been involved with this team, the 'Canes have allowed a nation's best, 20.6 TDs per season average...or just over one per game! It was the offense that let ex-coach Larry Coker down in 2006. The unit scored just 19.6 PPG. But nine starters return, included a loaded offensive line and a star-studded group of running backs. Miami will wear down Marshall in the second half. The 'Canes o-line averages 310 lbs, or almost 60 lbs per man larger than Marshall's defensive front. The Herd allowed almost 30 PPG last season and they lost Conf-USA Defensive Player of the Year, Albert McClellan to a knee injury earlier this month. The Hurricane are 19-2 SU (10-5-1 ATS) in their last 21 home openers. Marshall is on a 6-16 ATS slide as a road dog. It's statement time for Randy Shannon as they gain some swagger for next week's game with Oklahoma.

Miami is my Statement Blowout GOM.
