YTD 4-5-1 (+0.3 Units)
SMU +13.5 @ Texas Tech (3 Units)
I can't imagine a new coaching regime won't at least temporarily slow down the Leach-speed offense of Texas Tech. But even if Wreck do hit on all cylinders, SMU is no pushover. June Jones shown his impressive turnaround ability at Hawaii, and now again at SMU. The Mustangs ended '09 strong and has plenty of weapons to put up a strong fight. I wouldn't be shocked if they win outright.
SOUTHERN +3.5 vs. Delaware St. (-125 5Dimes) (2 units)
Another FCS gem line. Delaware St. has to replace essentially their entire defense, and I'm banking on new Southern HC Stump Mitchell to utilize his past as a RB coach in the NFL to devise a scheme to exploit an inexperienced defense. Southern should be the favorite here.
TULSA -7 @ E. Carolina (-108 5Dimes) (1 Unit)
Two C-USA teams headed in opposite directions. Tulsa was disappointing last year but return a potentially explosive offense. ECU basically has a new set of players (only 2 returning starters on defense) and a new head coach. Very important for Tulsa to start the season strong considering this is also a conference game. Tulsa wins handily.
Good Luck.
