Dapper Capper's Week 1 Picks--Thursday 9/2

[sweetpete57@]

Due to a disappointing year in 2009, I've had to reinvent myself for the 2010 College Football Season. Sure I lost some money last year, but I'm not the big loser here. No, the REAL losers in all of this are the Save the Children kids that I've decided to no longer sponsor after I had to reconfigure my 2010 budget. Long story short, the government of Namibia ain't taken care of its citizens so I need to return to my winning ways. Villages are depending on me to turn it around.

I am now the DAPPER CAPPER. SBRs most sophisticated and stylish handicapper. Online sportsbooks accounts have been reloaded, new 42" TV in my bedroom so i don't have to get out of bed on Gameday, and no more girlfriend to almost make me feel guilty for not paying attention to her all season. Let the Games begin.

Pick #1---1 Unit
PITT +3 @ Utah
A perfect opportunity for a BCS buster here, but Utah's 10-3 record LY was misleading due to a soft schedule. Dion Lewis should run over an over-matched and inexperienced Utes defense. Even though Dave Wannstedt (#198 in Dapper Capper's Top 200 college football coaches) will do his best to blow this with bad coaching, Pitt should prevail in a classic Mormon-Quaker battle.

Pick #2---1 Unit
MIDDLE TENNESSEE +1.5 vs. Minnesota
Minnesota got upended @ Florida Atlantic in 2007, and may fall into another Sun Belt (#29 in the Dapper Capper's Top 30 college football conferences) black hole in 2010. MT QB Dasher is yet another talented QB to suffer from 'Dumbshit Syndrome' (see also Oregon) and won't play, but the kids from Murfreesboro (where they have a White Castle and a Krystal Burger right across the street from each other) will prove they're not a 1-Dimensional Team. Down year ahead the Gophers, despite an experienced QB.

I'll be happy with 1-1. Cheers

Adding 2 FCS Games....

SE La. +10.5 @ Tulane (1 unit)
Tulane could very well be the worst FBS team this year. An in-state FCS school will relish in the chance to upend a team like this. SE LA. is a mediocre at best FCS team, according to preseason analisys, but half the FCS teams could probably beat Tulane.

Presbyterian +44.5 @ Wake Forest (1 unit)
Folks, there's a Hurricane headed towards N. Car. and let me tell ya, running up the score isnt a priority for Wake Forest. If the game isnt cancelled due to some evacuation order, it'll be a "let's get the f**k outta here" performance after a 35-0 half time lead.
