CFB: Week #1 Saturday 9/4

Western Michigan @ Michigan State -24.0….Big revenge situation here for Michigan State as they were totally embarrased last year by the Bronco’s on their home field getting beat 36-14 as a 24.5 home favorite.
Opinion: Even though the revenge looms big, The Bronco’s might be able to hang within the 24 points. However the loss of starting QB might make it too “iffy” for a play.
T-Rating Line: Michigan State -17.53 

Miami Ohio @ Florida -36.5…Miami Ohio was 1-11 last year and due in part that the QB had nearly twice as many rushing yards as their leading RB. (587 to 313). You can’t win many ball games averaging 70 on the ground. They had a whopping 22.0 offensive YPP. They do return all but one of starters on offense, but not so sure that’s a good thing seeing as they averaged only 16 points per game last year.
Opinion: Can’t waste any bankroll on this game, could be a blowout but may need a game to get in sync with the loss of key players on Florida’s offense.
T-Rating Line: Florida -35.95

Illinois @ Missouri…..Diamond Club Member Selection

Colorado -11.5 vs Colorado St @ Denver CO…These rivalry games at the beginning of the season are tough to handicap, actually their tough at anytime of the season, however revenge is big in these kind of games and Colorado will be in revenge having been upset last year 23-17 as a 12 point favorite.
Opinion: My number is right on and can’t find any edge to go either way
T-Rating Line: Colorado -11.70

Northwestern -3.5 @ Vanderbilt
Opinion: I had this game circled as a small play on Vandy, but with the starting QB expected out, I will stay clear.
T-Rating Line: Vanderbilt -2.73

Memphis @ Mississippi St -21.0…Possible Diamond Club Member Selection

Texas -31.0 vs Rice….13-1 team versus a 2-10 team, Texas 3-0 ATS last 3 meetings outscoring them 162 to 31.. not much else say here
Opinion: None
T-Rating Line: Texas -32.31

Purdue @ Notre Dame -11.0…The Irish hold a 8-4 ATS advantage in the last 12 meetings, not covering last year as they won 24-21 as a 6.0 point favorite. Purdue is 5-1 as non-conf road dog the last 6 situations, but are 1-11 when at South Bend. They lose all 4 of their RB’s from a year plus their starting QB. The home team in this series has won 6 of the last 7 by an average of 17 ppg. Notre Dame is 13-3 as a home favorite of less than 24 points versus a sub .500 opponent. The loss of QB Clausen and 1496 yard leading receiver Golden Tate could prove challenging early on in the season.
Opinion: I believe this to be a very close game…might consider a small play on the Boilermakers with the 11.0 points.
T-Rating Line: Notre Dame -8.09

Connecticut @ Michigan…The Huskies should improve on their 6-6 record of a year ago as they return 16 starters, 8 on each side of the ball. Last year they could have easily been 9-3 as they suffered 3 losses by a combined 15 points. Connecticut is 7-2 in non-conf road games and have won 4 straight road openers. They could very well by 6-0 going into their bye week on Oct 16. Then the schedule gets tough, but they should be right their for the conference championship. Michigan is 17-3 in home openers.
Opinion: I see a small upset here….
T-Rating Line: Michigan -1.84

Kentucky -3.0 @ Louisville…..
Opinion: None
T-Rating Line:
Pick ‘em

New Mexico @ Oregon -35.0
Opinion: None
T-Rating Line:
Oregon -29.65

UCLA @ Kansas St -1.5….UCLA is 14-2 in season openers last 16 yrs. This shouldn’t be, but could be a look ahead situation for them as they have their conference opener against Stanford next week which many consider to be the Pac 10 champion this year.
Opinion: None
T-Rating Line:
UCLA -0.52

Syracuse @ Akron….Diamond Club Member Selection

Washington @ BYU…Diamond Club Member Selection

San Jose St @ Alabama…Diamond Club Member Selection

Cincinnati @ Fresno St…Diamond Club Member Selection
