Surprise, surprise I'm primarily a chalk player and a road chalk player quite often as well. However the Power Dog is a part of my repertoire also. For totals mostly overs no unders.
All plays Action : (1)
TCU (-6,-120) at New Mexico - (TCU,BYU,Utah) amount to a conf-within-conf in the MW and none of them will lose to any other team outside that threesome. Frogs were beset by injuries and off-field problems last year and should rebound. Last year NM had their best team in Long's tenure yet lost 37-0 at TCU. Analyzing the matchup in the trenches, TCU's DL should dominate NM's Oline & Nm will struggle to maintain drives. The Lobos Off will probably contribute less than 10 points to this game.
Kansas St (-26.5) vs N Texas - the most suspicious line of week1 (?). I may be getting suckered into something here but I can't pass this up. Based on the statistical/historical data publicly available for these two, this line may be off by 2 TD's. If there's some reason why this line should by 14 points off I have not uncovered it. If someone knows something feel free to post in this thread, otherwise this is a Demolition game!!!!
The Empire (-19) at Virginia - Another one I couldn't pass up. The Cavs had the most mis-leading 9-4 record last year (could of been 4-9 just as easily) & that was with a much more exp & talented team. Virginia probably won't score 10 points here as Trojan Def is one of the best in the nation. Carroll has fared well in opening/early games at SoCal & Al(zheimer's) Groh is well into his senile years now and cannot possibly muster any viable strategy to defend against the onslaught to come from the Men of Troy.
Don't know how Miss St won 8 games in the SEC last year , turning the ball over at least 5 times against a sub .500 WAC team. Croom was completely outcoached by LT's Dooley who may have something brewing in Ruston,La. Up 14-3 Miss St just imploded from there on. Bad loss for MSU; their bowl streak (1) may be history due to this debacle .
