The Olympics are over. It's time for a sport I understand.
Plays will be rated 1-4* with most being 1's and 4 being a GOY (if I have one). I play between 3-7 and college games per weekend and 1-3 in the NFL. I often post early on games in which I expect the line to move against me. The line I rate my plays on is the one I bet and that's the exact one I post.
I like a lot of big favorites this week---teams the public may still be undervaluing.
Thursday:
1* South Carolina -12
Spurrier's team is loaded this year and is the most experienced one he's had at South Carolina. NC State is depleted by graduation and O'Brien is still trying to rebuild the mess Chuck Amato left him. Two touchdowns is a reasonable number. Spurrier's Florida teams often started the season strong and I expect that to continue here.
Saturday:
2* Florida -34 1/2
Hawaii showed its true colors when blown out by Georgia in its bowl game last year. They've lost a lot of players and their coach. Florida is my pick to win the national championship and needs to open its season with a major statement. I see no way the undersized Hawaii defense is going to contain Tebow. Florida reloaded last year; Hawaii had a dream season. It's 2008 and things are different. Florida by 50.
1* Kansas State -24 1/2
This is Prince's third year at K-State and that's when coaches often see their programs take off. Josh Freeman, the QB (huge guy) returns and while they've lost their top receiver, most of the offense is intact. North Texas is one of the two worst teams in the Sun Belt again and has an incompetent coaching staff that was running a high school program two years ago. Here's a team, K-State, that is much improved and looking to make a big statement to open the year and they get a patsy with a TERRIBLE defense. Blowout.
1* Kansas -36 1/2
Florida International will battle with North Texas for last in the Sun Belt. Like the above game, this is a battle between a great offense and a terrible defense. Kansas' Mangino is never shy about crushing an opponent. The number is high but I wouldn't be shocked if it's covered by halftime.
1* Stanford +3
See, I can pick a dog. Stanford showed great improvement in Harbaugh's first year and opens at home with a conference game against a team it can beat. Oregon State had pretty heavy graduation losses. It is very hard for a team to open the season on the road in a key conference game.
