ACC… Clemson vs Auburn (Atlanta) The Vegas Hot Sheets have Clemson a 2.5 to 4 point favorite… Last year Clemson snapped a 14 game losing streak to Auburn. The Tigers from Auburn led the Tigers from Clemson late in the 2nd Q 21-7 but allowed 4 straight drives from which they never recovered…. Clemson’s all everything receiver, Sammy Watkins, is out for the game after testing positive for Marijuana and will be missed. Auburn returns 15 starters … their QB Kiehl Frazier is athletic and did play in all 13 games a year ago. Clemson returns 14 starters including QB, Tajh Boyd, who many believe is the second best quarterback in the ACC. I always like the SEC over the ACC…although.. Clemson, like Florida State, is as athletic as the SEC teams… just not as tough! Auburn wins straight-up …. the points are a gift!
The Big Twelve…. Tulsa @ Iowa State: The Golden Hurricanes are giving the Cyclones 1.5 points on the Hot Sheets … I do not know why? The game is in Ames where the State has won four openers in a row by an average of 16 points and if you recall …last year…. they did beat another team from the Okey State…Oklahoma State … which kept the Cowboys out of the national championship game. Tulsa plays in the C-USA and is coming off an 8-5 season… returning 13 starters … but not their QB. Iowa State was 6-7 last year and is returning 12 starters including their QB, Jared Barnett. Giving the superiority of the Big 12, returning players, and the fact that the game is in Ames… Take the points and enjoy the Cyclones blowing the Hurricanes back out to sea!
Big East …. Kentucky @ Louisville: Their is something inherently wrong with a SEC Team getting 13.5 to 14 points from a Big East Squad! The Cardinals are 10 and 4 in home openers… with all four loses coming at the hands of the Wildcats! Kentucky has won four of the last five meetings and the 2011 loss was by a single TD… 24-17! I think the coaching advantage goes quickly to Louisville… Charlie Strong any day and twice on Sunday (it is a Sunday Game this year) over Joker Phillips … but the last time I checked, these guys ain’t playing … and they got plenty of help thinking! Louisville returns 15 starters including their QB …while Kentucky brings back 11 first teamers’ and their QB as well.Take Kentucky….The SEC…. and The Points 13 .5 to 14 is to many…. in this inter-state battle!
Big Ten…Michigan vs Alabama (Dallas): I do not know why analysts keeps saying the Tide has one of the best O-lines in the country… they HAVE the best O-Line in America…period… and it really is not close. DJ Fluker (6’6” 335 RT) & Chance Warmack (6’3” 320 LG) both all SEC and likely All Americans coupled with Outland Trophy winner Barrett Jones (6’5” 302 C)…. oh yeah… do not forget … Cyrus Kouandijo (Phil Steele rated him as the #1 offensive lineman in the country coming out of High School (6’6 322 LT).. A knee injury a year ago slowed his development….he is back and anxious for round two!! Michigan counters with… Craig Roh… a third team All Big Ten…maybe… Brady Hoke won 11 games with smoke and mirrors in 2011.. the Wolves are back…. but not their talent … their D-Line will be tsunami d’ against the Tide’s surge from Dallas to places unknown. And Please… do not talk about how fast Denard Robinson is…I saw the Mississippi State Game (52-14 tail whipping… meanwhile “Little Brother” MSU was getting blasted by Bama 49-7) …He was just another guy who can run on an SEC field … and that was all! I know you have watched him run around and away from Big Ten D’s and those Irish Dopes in South Bend (I have accumulated several hundred years in Purgatory expressing my displeasure with cheeseburger Charlie and volcano top Kelly…. defensive schemes) In this game… take the points… and then…. offer them more…the Tide will Roll!
Ireland Notre Dame vs Navy: The Irish are giving the Midshipmen 14 to 15 points. In their last five meetings …. ND would have covered once…last year… a 56-14 shelling of Navy. Notre Dame has 14 starters returning (sort of) …. Their star running back, starting QB, a CB, LB and reserve D-End did not make the trip do to a variety of situations. Talent wise…, this is a no-brainer… ND should win by several scores… The absence of these five dopes …should help ND players….. focus and concentration…Take ND and give the points
