Notre Dame - 3 vs. Michigan -Michigan still has a lot of work to do. Not buying into them being significantly better than last year
Eastern Michigan + 20 vs. Northwestern -Northwestern wins but Eastern scores enough to keep it close.
Indiana -1.5 vs Western Michigan -Indiana looked bad last week. They bounce back and I think it's a good value.
USC/Ohio State Over 45.5 -If the game is a blowout, I bet USC gets 35+. If the game is close, I predict it's in the 20 or 30s for both teams.

Steelers -6.5 vs Titans- Steelers at home and not sure how the Titans will do with the loss of Haynseworth.

Steelers -6.5 Looking for a down year out of the Titans even though it pains me to say it.
Packers +5
Over 47 GB/Chi
Buffalo +11
Buf/NE under 47.5
San Diego -10
SD/Oak over 42.5

Pack/Bears Over 47.5 - I see a shootout a comin. (OOPS - L)

USC (-7) vs. OSU - USC by 10 at least even in the shoe. (L)

ND - 3 vs. Michigan - ND but I will be sweating it out. I don't like taking favorites on the road and I am taking two this week. (L)

Dolphins to cover the 4 against the Falcons. Close game but field goal near end of game gets it inside of 4. (L)
Vikings -4 over the Browns. Too much fire power from the Vikes. (W)
The Cowboys over the Bucs giving the 6. I think the Bucs are going to brutal this year. (W)
Chicago + the 3.5 they are getting against the Pack. GB might win, but not by more than 3. (L)

2-5 for the week and my winning percentage goes UP. Ouch.

Bad bad bad. Looking for a little redemption in week 3.

COlorado -3.5 vs Toledo- After Colorado looked bad in game 1, better respond here or Hawkins may not last the season with a loss.

All from pinnacle sports, before I get to the Big 10, I'll throw out a couple.

North Carolina -4.5 vs Connecticut- Butch Davis is building something at Carolina, and Uconn lost Donald Brown.

South Carolina and Georgia under 40- Both teams combined for 17 points last week and not agianst top defenses, and Georgia may not have the starting quarterback.

TCU -11 vs Virginia- Virginia lost to William and Mary last week, and TCU has a good defense and will contend for a BCS berth.

Kansas -12.5 vs UTEP- UTEP lost to Buffalo and Kansas is a top team in the Big 12.

Now to the Big 10

The Big One

USC -7 vs Ohio State-USC has the offensive line and running backs and their defense should contain Pryor, wouldn't suprise me if this is a blowout.

Air Force and Minnesota over 49- Air Force can score and put up 72 last week and it's the home opener in the new stadium for Minnesota.

Fresno State +8 vs Wisconsin- The Badgers started off good last week and then couldn't keep it up and Fresno State usually plays tough in these games.

Notre Dame -3 vs Michigan- I like the way Claussen is playing and Notre Dame's defense should contain the Michigan offense.

Lines from The Greek

Under 61 1/2 Illinois St @ Illinois Illini will win easy, Redbirds don't put up much offense in this win

Wyoming + 32 1/2 vs Texas Texas goes on the road and wins, but not enough to cover this big number

Northwestern -21 vs Eastern Michigan Cats offense rolls at home

NFL

Saints -13 1/2 vs Lions High powered offense at home vs a rookie quarterback, Saints roll

Vikings -4 @ Browns Browns may be the worst team in the league and it shows in the opener

Over 43 Chargers @ Raiders Chargers score a ton in this one, win big

Week 2 Looking Up At A 40% :oops:

E. Michigan @ Northwestern -21

Just how many directional michigans are there? I know this isn't the good one.

C. Michigan +14 1/2 @ Michigan St.

Spartans don't have the firepower to run and hide from the Chippewas.

Fresno St. @ Wisconsin -7 1/2

Too early in the morning for the Bulldogs to be effective.

Pitt @ Buffalo +10 1/2

Wanny blunders his way to a single digit win.

ND -3 @ Michigan

How is this only 3 for the Irish? Where is Beano Cook when I need him?

USC-7 in the horseshoe! How does a true freshman go there and win???Run the ball, huge O-line and a a bunch of fresh taibacks beat the Buckeyes on this warm afternoon in Columbus

Florida -36.5 vs.Troy Tebow runs this score up and pads his stats

N.D -3 vs Richies Wolverines. Holtz pick goes 2 and 0


Texas -31.5 Colt again is Da Hoss he wants the trophy bad!


Pitt-10.5 vs Buffalo Wannie has trouble with teams like this,but I think he team out plays his coaching :lol:

Disappointing showing from OK St., but it shouldn't have been suprising. I should've talked myself out of picking them instead of Iowa.

Post subject:  Re: Pick Winners CFB, NFL Week 1
From Sportsbetting.com

Vikings -3.5 vs Browns- Adrian Peterson should run wild and the Vikings defense should control Brady Quinn and the Browns offense.

Cowboys -4.5 vs Buccanneers- The Bucs look like a mess and could be a bad team, and the Boys usually start the season strong.

Bears and Packers over 46- Cutler and Rodgers go wild in this nice high scoring affair.

Dallas -4 over Tampa (SBG)

Losing TO might be a good thing. Tampa O looks like a big question mark.

Denver +5.5 over Cincy (SBG)

Cincy is favored? I know Denver is supposed to be bad, but when did Cincy get good? Cincy has to prove they are worth being a fav. Orton keeps em in it.

Under 37 Wash/Nyg (SBG)

Should be a tough division game. Giants lose a couple WR's. They should run it a bunch. Washington D should only be better with Haynesworth.

Seattle -7 over St Louis (SBG)

Seattle is my pick to win the NFC West and they start out the year with a double digit win over the Rams today.

Over 47 Packers/Bears

See the Pack reaching the 30's so Bears only gotta get 17.
