    USC -21, 1 unit


    USC has dominated Hawaii the last three times at Hawaii an average of 62-19 (05,03,99). Last Year When kiffen had the chance he lite up the score board, Western Kentucky (+56), Georgia (+26), Memphis (+38). Monte Kiffen is a great coach and i expect him to have the Defense playing great, and Hawaii only has 24 returning starts on the online. Look for USC to pressure Hawaii all game. This is still USC they have a ton of talent, there depth has been hit this year but that won't show until later in the season. GL

    Nevada -27.5, 1 unit
    Nevada was #1 in rushing yards per game last year they return 9 on offense and 7 on defense. Nevada started out slow last year but got it going in the middle of the year crushing New Mexico st by (43), Fresno ST (38), San Jose ST (55), UNLV (35). Eastern Washington had a good year last year going 8-4 but they loss 17 seniors that combined for 350 starts, They return 26 with playing experience but at only 196 starts. They loss there QB,TE,RT from a good offense last year. They played one DIV 1 school last year (CAL) and were destroyed 59-7, Nevada is no Cal but i think they run all over EWU.

    Was a good pick but thought the USC defense would have a little more disciplne. Thought they took Barkely out a little earlier than expected too.

    Bad start 0-2, -2.2 unit

    Washington ML +115, 5 units
    This is as high as I will go for units on a bet. I just don't see the huskies losing this game. I know they haven't won on the road in 2 years. But Last year they were so close last year OT to ND, Last second hail marry vs. ASU and 1pt los to UCLA. UW arguably has the best player in the nation and he is a 5th year senior QB. The Huskies return all WR and a 1000 yrd RS frosh RB. The O-line was a weakness last year but returns 88 career starts. BYU returns 4 on defense and only 1 in the front 7. Polk and Locker will wear them down. UW's defense was a liability last year but BYU losses Max Hall career 11,365 passing yards 94 td's, Unga career 3 time 1000 yard rusher 36td's and all-league TE Pitta career 221 rec 2900 yrds 21tds.

    Uconn +3, 1 unit. ML +130, 1 unit

    Uconn returns 16 starters 8 on offense and 7 on defense. They have one of the best LB cores in the nation and tackle very well look for them to shut down Rich rod's spread. Last year Uconn's biggest loss was by 4 pts (NC by 2, @pitt by 3,@WV by 4, @cin by 2, Rutgers by 4) They keep the game close and with a lot of experience in close games i think they pull off more close ones this year. Michigan's top 2 RB from last year are gone and in their last 8 games last year they were 1-7 (only win vs DIV 2 team)

    FADE ALERT

    went 0-4 last week and -9.3 units. Being this bad is hard to do.

    AUBURN pck 1 unit

    Auburn has won 8 0f 9 vs miss st. Auburns o-line returns 111 starts from a team that had 390 rushing yards vs miss st last year. Miss st has lost 10 SEC openers in a row. Auburn is the better team and its a pick em gotta go with Auburn.
