Is Nas going to make a pick or just wait until the end of the season and cherry pick the easy games like he usually does?

Pittsburgh -3

All lines via Pinnacle

Iowa State +3 vs Kent State: Iowa State lost big last week, but 28 of Iowa's 35 were off turnovers. They won't make that many this week and beat a poor Kent State club.

Georgia Tech +5 Miami is overrated, and their win again Florida St. was nothing special

Steelers -2.5 Big Ben passes all over the bad secondary
Patriots -3 Brady and crew hit a few big plays, and Pats get to Sanchez

--------------------------------------------------

NFL

NYG +3
Titans -6.5
Ravens +3
Raiders +3

Tried to post these yesterday but couldn't.

Akron -4 -Indiana is not going on the road and winning this game.
Eastern Michigan +24 at Michigan -That is a huge spread for an obvious letdown game for Michigan.
Iowa -5.5 vs Arizona -I think Iowa is the better team. I don't really have any great insight to post here. Hawkeye Vince still sucks.
Michigan State +10 vs. Notre Dame -MSU is known for playing out of it's mind vs. Notre Dame. They keep it close at least.
Northwestern -3 at Syracuse -Syracuse is not very good. Therefore, I don't see how Northwestern doesn't pull out a nice win.

Can anyone verify the over/under on Tenn/Florida at 52? That seems really low to me, especially considering Florida is favored by 29.5.

Did I get that wrong?

Dave saw it at 53 on scoresandodds.com website.

Thanks HA - I just think that's low - if I went to an actual window, I think I would pound the over on this game. I think Florida will score 50 by themselves.

Tennessee's offense is bad, can't throw it. I see what you are saying though.

KC/OAK over 38.5
Bears/PIT over 37.5

_________________

Northwestern -3 vs Syracuse- Syracuse will probably upset somebody during the year, but not this weekend, Fitzgerald has Northwestern finish better than last week.

North Carolina -7.5 vs East Carolina- North Carolina has the defense and should have worked on the offense this week and win this win at home.

Florida -29.5 vs Tennesee- I think if Tennesee had a quarterback, they would keep it close, but they don't and Florida will run up the score if they get the chance.

b]Stanford -17[/b] over SJ State

Stanford owns this series. Big bounceback in their home opener after a tough loss at WF last week.

Boston College +7 over Clemson

Dog rules this series. Covered last 4. Again.

Baylor -10.5 over UConn

Baylor is gonna do some damage this year. They hung with UConn last year. UConn not as good this year. Baylor better than last year.

Arizona +4 over Iowa

Iowa struggled here in their home opener against N Iowa. They blew out Iowa St last week, but Iowa St not that good. Arizona the better team.

Bowling Green -3 over Marshall

Road team rules when Bowling Green plays. They hung tough with Missouri last week and Marshall not in Missouri's class. BG gets this one.

Time to get goin!



Army -8 vs Ball State this ain't Dan MacNeils Ball State L
Navy +7 vs Pitt Navy can run the ball which gives Wannie more time to f this up L
Air Force-17 vs New Mexico the Armed Forces trifecta W
Purdue -12.5 vs NIU You gan catch this snoozzzzzzzzzzzzer on the Score L
The Ohio State University -21 against Toledo the battle for Ohio and the Buckeyes will be up this much in the 1st
quarter W

I'm out.

From The Greek:

NCAA

Tennessee/Florida Over 52 Florida might score 52 on their own, Gators roll over the Vols big

Notre Dame -10 vs Mich. St. Irish rebound at home and beat Sparty for the first time in South Bend since Holtz was coach

Navy/Pitt Under 51 1/2 Navy keeps this game very close, not enough offense in the end


NFL

Lions +10 vs Vikings Lions have kept the Vikes close the last two years, in their home opener, this one is no different

Steelers/Bears Over 37 1/2 For both teams losing their best defender, this total seems low

Bengals +9 1/2 @ Packers Who Dey finds a way to control the ball and make this one interesting

U of Arizona +5.5
Kansas -22.5
Ball St +7.5
BC + 6.5
Kent St +3
Mich St +10
LSU -26.5
USC -20
Vandy -9

For Sunday

Patriots -3.5 vs Jets- I think the Jets have talked too much this week and the Patriots will pour it on.

Vikings -10 vs Lions- Vikings usually win, but by low amounts, I see this being diffrent as Peterson runs wild.

Bills -4.5 vs Buccanneers- I think the Bills better win this one after the tough Monday loss, because if they don't, T.O. will really get on them.

Carolina +6.5 over Atlanta

Last weeks results give us a few more pts in this one. If this one played last week Atlanta would have been -3

Tennese -7 over Houston

Tennese bounces back after their loss at Pitt. They wont go 2-0

Under 39.5 Oak/KC

Oakland is gonna run run run. KC O still learning.

vikings minus ten over lions. Lions suck. Bengals plus 9.5 over packers. Letdown game for gb but they still win

Looks good for the Lions to cover so far.
