    after watching U Texas all year my favorite player was Jaydon Blue . Not sure how he did in the combines etc but to me the most dangerous man in the backfield . Runs the wheel route and is explosive . Unfortunately was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the 3rd round .

    Houston +1 over Florida ** Two teams that are very different in their style of play . So much has already been written about each team ...Not going to bore you with all the backgrounds I like the Coogs slightly because they are the better defensive team . But Florida has Clayton who can score...

    Houston

    Houston +4.5 over Duke **** Think defense has the edge and Sampson has a game plan to slow down Dukies . Coogs need to contain and slow down Dukies Off. Think they keep this a very close game and although they might not win it outright think they cover the 4.5 pts
