I went 2-3 last week..not bad but def. not winning money. But like a mentioned in my post, the first couple weeks are tough. Below are the my 3 picks for Saturday..all are 1 unit picks except Georgia is 2 units. Good luck!
Under 52.5 fresno st./wisconsin: Believe it or not, Fresno St. will have one the best defenses in the WAC with nine starters returning. Last week the Bulldogs pitched a shutout against California-Davis. The Qb for Fresno will be starting his first game on the road. I think Pat Hill will keep it simple for the QB with short passes and plenty of running plays. "Clock Management" and "hope the defense makes something happen".
The other side is Wisconsin, who barely beat Northern Illinois last week 28-20 @ home. The Wisconsin offensive attack was balanced 20 passes for 257 yds – 36 rushes for 151 yds. Wisconsin normally runs, runs, and runs some more. I think that Fresno strong defense and lack of offense will enable Wisconsin to play conservative football. Thus…a low scoring, tough defensive football game. Fresno 13- Wisconsin-20 Take the under 52.5
Georgia –7.5 vs S. Carolina- I love the Bulldogs in this game! Think what you will about the loss to Okie St. but I thought Georgia played a pretty sound game on the road, against a top ten team. I also think that if that game was played in Athens this week… the Bulldogs would probably win by a field goal. Saying that, shows how good I think Georgia can be.
S. Carolina, on the other hand, is helpless. They are playing back to back road games, which is never good especially heading into a Division game. I understand they have a few days more rest..but I’ll give them a month of rest ..and they ain’t gonna beat Georgia in Athens. Not this year anyway. Georgia will dominate from start to finish. Look for the Georgia defense to intimidate this terrible Carolina offense.
Georgia 24- S.C 9
Iowa –6 @ Iowa St- I know. I know. Iowa should have lost to Northern Iowa. How could you take Iowa? Well, it’s pretty easy when you think about it. This line probably would’ve at least 6 pts higher if Iowa pounds Northern Iowa last week. Right? So of course, everyone is jumping on Iowa St. Not me!
The problem last week, was the offense of Iowa made plenty of mistakes and seemed to be "stuck in the mud". But the 3rd and 4th quarter, Iowa’s offense finally started showing signs of life. I think last weeks game was a wake up call for the players at Iowa and I think Iowa St. stinks. HA! Take Iowa -6
