Southpoint Posts Win Totals

Zips are horrible! Under 4 wins is a strong bet. Spring game was like watching an ok Div. I H.S. team. The offense will struggle to score in a conference that doesn't play much defense. Morgan State has a chance at beating them. They have no chance at 4 wins. This is my early Zip Pick of the Week! Long season for my Zips!

I really like ARizona to go over the 7 1/2 win total. They have 15 starters returning and a rather soft scheduled. They should win their 3 non-con games and 3 conference away games. Home games with Cal, Colorado, and Arizona State should give them 9 wins, one more than needed to cover.

Rich Rod being gone could be a big plus. Don't follow that conference much. Might take a look at it if WV or Michigan gets it together before football starts. I go through a local book. He has us online the last 2 years. Take a chance on Akron UNDER 4 games. This team is in bad shape. Terry Bowden has ran out of JUCO transfers and other Div. I transfers. The O-line is garbage. They are forced to go with Kato at QB because of his mobility. Talented kid. Nothing to go with his talent. I am going to stick to my guns this year and only bet against a few bad teams til the horse is dead. Akron is most definitely one of them. GL

I know very little about Akron, but they do return 9 starters on defense and play Morgan State. I try to avoid MAC teams because they are so flaky.

Thanks for posting QH

Florida State should be able to reach 8 wins imo

SEC. I’ll take Florida over, Arkansas Under, vandy Under. Georgia will be favored in every game and by double digits in all but 2. Tempted to go over there

Florida has three non-con cream puffs. Playing South Carolina and LSU at home should give them 8 wins or more in the SEC. Arkansas is a different story. A win at Colorado State should give them 4 non-con wins. They get Vandy at home, and play LSU at home off of their bye week and after LSU hosts Alabama. I think that Arkansas can find two or more SEC Wins.

I love UCLA over 5.

Chip Kelly will get them 6 wins. Also like Iowa over, Notre Dame under, and TCU over.

UCLA has a major scheduling headache. They have a sure loss at Oklahoma. They also go to Colorado, no sure bet there, Cal, where they have trouble winning, and Oregon (OUCH!!). Throw in home games against Washington, Arizona, Utah, USC and Stanford and UCLA has a much better chance losing 8 games than winning 6 games. TCU hosts Ohio State and both Oklahoma's. They go to Texas and West Virginia. Iffy. Iowa should have no problems, especially is they go 3-0 against a rather soft non-con schedule, all at home. The only tough away tests are at Penn State (loss) and Purdue (possible win). Notre Dame has some strange scheduling this season. Their last 5 games are played in San Diego (vs Navy), Chicago (O.K. Evanston at Northwestern), South Bend vs Florida State, Yankee Stadium vs Syracuse, and Los Angeles at USC. Is that a schedule for a football team or a Rock Band?

Don't like to bet on my 'Canes too much but last year's O/U win total was a joke and pounded that baby; this year O/U10 is so iffy especially with Malik Rosier at QB...I want to say we defeat a weaker than usual LSU squad come opening day but definitely not a guarantee (I'll be there screaming my lungs off), FSU will be better than last year (albeit we have them at home) and Va Tech/GT on the road will be tough.

Offensively, the talent we have coming back is scary good and even so, some of the freshman will get playing time they're that good...the wide receiver group is amongst the best in the country, and the trio at RB of Travis Homer, 5 star freshman Lorenzo Lingard, and swiss army knife Deejay Dallas will be a tall task to defend. TE's are unproven, and we're relying on true freshman to make an impact (it helps that one was a 4/5 star and the other a 4 star, both top 300). So basically, all the coaching staff is asking for is Malik to literally get these weapons the ball and let them make plays (which apparently is too much of a challenge at times, yet unless true freshman Jarren Williams takes the job from him, we're stuck with Rosier). The O'line has some holes and I'm praying someone steps up in fall camp to solidify a spot.

Defensively, the front four will need to pressure the QB for us to succeed, and losing both our DT's hurts; however, our DE's are freaks and can go toe to toe with some of the best in the country, and we have a former 5 star who took the year off to train and work out coming back to take up a spot at DT (not a transfer, definitely a weird situation). We return all three linebackers and a good chunk of our secondary....We could go anywhere from 9-3 to 11-1 in the regular season.

Nice write up. With the easy schedule they play, Miami should have no problem winning 10 games. The only reason I hesitate wagering on them is Richt. He has a history of not being able to get to the CC games. For some reason, his teams do not fare well near the end of the season, as last years team proved. This season they play 4 of their last 6 games on the road, including back to back away games against the Techs, Georgia then Virginia. This team should win the ACC Coastal.
