Alright, here we go:
Vandy +10 vs. South Carolina (2 units) WIN
Last season Vandy beat SC 17-6, roughing up SC quarterback Chris Smelley and sacking him 7 times. Well, SC's offensive line didn't look much better in week 1, called for four false starts and a holding penalty, and allowed five sacks to NCSU. I like Vandy QB Nickson to make some plays like he did last week when he had 166 rushing yards. Although its debatable whether Vandy can beat SC again, they are at home and getting DD points against a team with flaws.
Miami +21.5 at Florida (2 units) LOSS
Florida should definitely get a comfortble win here, but I think the U will be able to match them athletically and will be fired up to take on the Gators. Miami looked good in their 1st game (albeit against a I-AA team). A good showing here puts them back into the respectability range after falling off the map the past 5 years. I think they can stay within the number although Florida is too talented and gets a 14-17 point win, something like 35-17.
Texas -26.5 at UTEP (4 units) WIN
I was looking at both this one and Neb/SJSU and decided this was the better play. Texas had a big win last week and the passing game looked good. McCoy took care of the ball and the new WRs made plays. UTEP was embarassing against Buffalo, losing by 25 and allowing almost 500 total yards. If the Bulls can do that type of damage, UT must be licking their chops. I think the Horns roll here convingly, but even a 42-14 type score covers. But I expect a bigger margin.
Ohio +35.5 at OSU (2 units) (bought 1 pt) WIN
Getting this over 35 makes me feel better. OSU has no reason to embarass OU and that's not Tressel's style to make inferior in-state programs look bad. All the Buckeyes want to do is win, stay healthy, and get ready for USC. Beanie Wells is doubtful, which is also a plus. OU has a decent enough offense to put together a late TD or two, which would be more than enough against likely OSU's second or third unit, as I don't expect OSU to risk playing their starters too long with the Trojans on tap. Thinking something like 38-10 OSU.
And just for fun:
6 team, 6.5pt teaser (1.5 unit to win 7.5)
Kansas -14 vs. La. Tech
Nebraska -20 vs. SJSU
BG +0.5 vs. Minnesota
Wisconsin -15 vs. Marshall
Penn State -10 vs. Oregon St.
Wake Forest -1.5 vs. Ole Miss
All home teams here against inferior opponents. We'll see what happens...
*I have never included teasers, parlays and exotics in my YTD totals.
Anyway, best of luck everyone this week! :celebrate:
