Fab 4 for week 1

[The Gipper]

GL to all the great cappers on this site this year!


4 plays for week 1:

Fresno State +5 over Rutgers -This is Pat Hill's best team yet with 17 starters back. Rutgers has had no one step up into Ray Rice's shoes and Schiano is a legend in his own mind. Fresno does not need the points here. Outright win.

ECU+9 over VT - This is Skip Hoiltz's deepest and most taltned team and they took VT to the wire last year, This game is on a netuiral site --Charlotte. Figure they will hange here until VT's special teams come through late for a win, but not the cover.

Ole Miss -7 over Memphis -The Rebs made a great hiore in Houston Nutt. This is a veteran team that adds Texas transfer Jevon Snead at QB and will be a SEC sleeper this year. Memphis is breaking in a new QB.

Wyoming -12.5 over Ohio - Cowboys always fare very well in openers -- like shocking UVA last year. Ohio lost 23 lettermen, has to travel to a higher altitude in which the Cowboys have practiced all summer and have to go to the Horseshoe next week to face the Bucknuts and Tressel.

Gonna add 2 to make it a 6-pack weekend:


Bowling Green +13.5 over Pitt - Pitt being touted as top 20 team off season-ending win over WV. Forget about it! Wandstedt is still the HC. BG has plenty of firepower back and can sling the ball all over the field. BG can pull off the upset here.

Oregon -13.5 over Washington - Ducks are awfully tough at home and Washington does not travel well. Ty Willington is one the hot seat, has had several lackluster recruiting years and there appears, short of a mircale season, that he will be fired this year.
