He always has been. At least as long as I have followed him. And that -7% can't be much worse then my -4 picks make that 0&5 start. Every dam year first week seems to get my ass. Should have told everyone to fade me. But look out now.
good luck this weekend- even though I have not listed it is a play yet I really like Penn State this weekend... Have some ties to the program and word is players have spent a lot of time together this summer and are expecting a big 10 championship. They feel they "owe" Joe Pa for the string of sub-par seasons. Also, feel UCF is getting a little too much respect coming into the year and it did not help that they decided to run their mouths to getting on the field. Happy Valley will be rocking with the grand opening of their new stadium expansion, can't wait to see how UCF likes the big crowd might be a little tough to call audibles on offense. Also they will not be able to stop the Nittany Lions (multiple threat) offense. Mills wqill run the ball quite a bit.
chenker i placed these all now because the lines i think will go against me. penn state is loaded solid d big experienced line,and finally a o that will score ucf has a decent team but not in the class of penn state. add in the factors you brought up i see a 40 to 17 type of game.
I like MSU to cover that number against Eastern Michigan. I think their offense will score at will and their D/Special Teams will add at least another score. It's early but, MSU's offense looks awful good on paper...
oky -37 2%- tulsa will be improved this year because they cannot get worse. there qb is a good athlete and they have some better coaching. but ou d could be the best d i can remember. they are good offensively ou will have many a short field tries tonight and i think they will score at will. and stoops loves to bury teams.
san jose pick 6%, san jose is way more talented than ark state and ark state will not be able to stop san jose from running over them. i will have a couple more depending on the early games. to bad about fant for miss state hopefully i get lucky.
reason i like the over both o's strengths (and they are very strong) tcu running game and cincy passing game play into the others d's weakness. i see alot of scoring. these o's have alot of experience and talent. cinci just has more play makers on both o and d they have better special reams and i think will cover this small #.
usc over 44 - 5% both these teams will be much improved on o this year usc will open things up and auburn just needed some experience to catch up with there talent now both d are very solid but they are not superman both these teams will tire by the second quarter 100 degree temp,bad ozone and high humidity-gives the playmakers the advantage. also means alot of missed tackles.
cincy -4 3%, this cincy kid has a habit of playing poorly in the first half and putting his team in holes. the second half he shines he had 3 comebacks last year and plays very well in the fourth. that was last year but he plays well ubder pressure.
