Hey Adam...

Good luck this year, but boy are we on opposite sides on some of those.

I love Northwestern. Montel Harris is out for BC, and BC still doesnt have a QB who can throw the ball.

I think Persa is going to drive BC crazy too. That kid can play football.

I also like NM State with all of the suspensions facing Colorado State.

Good luck.

Chase Rettig threw for 1200 yds last year on about 60 less attempts than Montel Harris. They return 9 on O. The Colorado st guys are all underclassmen that got suspended notmuch to worry about there. thanks for the feedback Does give somethings to factor in

I'm a little confused about your comment regarding Montel Harris and BC.

BC is not returning 9 on offense. They are returning Rettig, Momah, Pantale, Richman, and Spinney. That makes 5.

And their best player--MONTREL HARRIS is a RB not a QB. Harris is just 900 yards away from being the all-time ACC rushing leader. Harris is out at least 4 weeks with a knee injury. He is a kid who has run for 100 yards in 14 of the 16 games he has started.

I love these kinds of discussions...best of luck.

My mistake sorry... Adding

South Carolina/East Carolina

In your other thread, you don't mention Boston College.

Update on BC. They are bleeding players off their 2-deep. Their starting corner was just booted, and now their starting safety is gone too. It gets better (or worse)----now that Montrel Harris is out, their #2 RB is also out.

Yea martin after you told me the info i looked around and you talked me off the ledge. Its really just a toss up so its a no play for me. thanks for the voice of reason haha

I too liked boston college during the spring as a surprise team but the strong part of their game, their defense has taken a hit. Add that to the fact their leading rusher is out for the beginning of the season, I don't think betting them -3 is a good play. Maybe look at the team under.

I'm on the opposite side here. East Carolina prolific offense with Dominique Davis leading the way and a horrific defense, especially run. Look for a lot of possessions for both teams. South Carolina will pound the ball early and get their points. ECU will most likely score more second half points.

AdamL2424 · 08-27-11, 09:06 PM

But when they pound the ball they also pound the clock

ColS @ NMex & Ohio @ NMST

AdamL2424 · 08-28-11, 05:51 AM

Col st/new Mex are 2 bad teams... Toss up but if I had to bet I would take col st

mnpickle · 08-28-11, 11:29 AM

I'm favoring Idaho and the under as they play at home against Bowling Green. Also, I'm thinking Syracuse is going to run away with a victory against wake forest.

treytb8 · 08-28-11, 10:25 PM

northwestern +3 great play, bc struggles on offense and northwestern thrives, could always do a teaser and take northwestern +9 and col st at a pick, CSU is going to beat new mexico state pretty handily 10+
