NCAAF YTD: 0-0 (Even)

Best of luck to everyone on the upcoming season. Will have more for Saturday as I just started looking at those games.

Thursday

1* Minnesota (-14) (-130) Over Tulsa - (Bought 1 pt)

I bought the pt here to make it at 14. I do think Minnesota wins this one by 20+ regardless that there on the road. Both teams play on turf so no real advantage there for either side. Overall with Minnesota returning all there top offensive weapons from last season I don't think they'll have a major problem scoring in this game. Tulsa will have a somewhat decent side for conference play but I don't believe there play will get better till the end of the season. Minnesota should score early and often in this one.

1* Washington St. (-7) (-120) Over Idaho - 1st Quarter

With Swogger back and all there receivers back and there top RB back from last season I think Washington St offensively should be a very good team. Defensively is a ? mark although they do return there front 4 from last season. They should improve this season. I think this is a solid line. WSU at home will look to jump all over Idaho. Last season WSU won 49-8 and lead 14-0 at the end of the 1st quarter. No reason they don't duplicate the result as there offense is better then last season. Idaho does have more experienced players then last year but I think WSU is just that much better.

1* Vanderbilt (+9) (-110) Over Wake Forest

This should be a tight game and Vandy has some nice weapons on offense. With Wake being a rushing team and Vandy having a pretty solid front line I think this game stays very close.

Friday

1* Utah (-7) (-110) Over Arizona

Arizona will be much improved this season but I don't think they have the talent yet to beat a good team like Utah. The Utes lost alot in there head coach and QB but they still have good enough playmakers throughout the team to take this home game. Whittingham has alot riding with the teams current win streak but I think they are more then capable of continuing it here at home.

Saturday

2* Boston College (-2) (-110) Over Brigham Young

I see no reason why BC should not continue there defensive dominance from last season. Last year they ranked 12th in the nation and they return 8 starters from that squad. BC has some solid offensive pieces returning in there top 3 running backs. Although they lost last years starting QB there new QB has started for BC in the past. At the wideout position BC does return there top starter from last season and they plan on using Blackmon there punt and kick returner at the wideout spot as well. I just have a hard time finding how BYU will match up in this game. They are not a strong defensive squad and although they do have some decent offensive weapons, I would expect BC's defense to shut them down. Although on the road I think BC wins this one comfortably. They outclass BYU in just about every category and are just much better athleticlly.

Good Luck to All!!!!

Thanks Big...Good Luck to you as well!!!!

Division 1AA

Thursday

1* Massachusetts (-7) (-140) Over Richmond (Bought 1 pt)- Available at 5Dimes

UMass is looking to avenge a home loss last season against Richmond losing 24-14. UMass returned there entire defense from last season, 8 starters from offense and supposedly have had an outstanding recruiting calss. All that combined has given them the #15 rank in the nation and even garnered a 1st place vote. Most expect them to make the playoffs this season and even had a legit shot at the championship. Richmond is a gritty team and they always seem to be in games. They have a good RB and an ok defense. This will not be a blow out but I would think UMass should win by 10+ pts.

Good Luck to All!!!!

Thanks Naught...Good Luck!!!!

Thursday

1* South Carolina (-4) (-130) Over Central Florida - 1st Quarter

Spurrier chose UCF for a reason. He wants his team to build some confidence and immediately. Not sure if they cover the 21 pt line but I think they get out early. UCF should be more improved after there 0-11 season last year. There returning most of there team but I still don't think it will mean much.

Good Luck to All!!!!
