Have been waiting for a few weeks of observation before posting this season. Anyway, here they are:

Tex Tech +2
This QB is as good as Kingsbury was and Ole Miss is much worse than I expected this year. This game may come down to which team has the ball last, but the points here are worth a wager.

LSU -13 AND LSU Under 54
Classic letdown game for the tigers but Starkville is not a tough place to play as compared to the rest of the SEC and Saban is good enough to have his team ready. I was in Baton Rouge last weekend for the UGA game and this team is good enough to win by two TDs. As for the total, I see no way this game gets to 54 unless LSU blows the bulldogs out the way they did in Arizona. Overall, these two wagers should split at worst, but I see plenty of value in each of them.

So. Fla. -18
Leavitt is a great coach and Army has been a good go against for me the last two weeks.

ND +10 AND Under 42'
Two straight losses.....The luck of the irish.....Need I say more?? Also, I look for the ND defense to come up big this week.

Mia O -7
This team is for real and Cincinnatti is now showing that they are not as good as people thought after weeks 1 and 2.

Louisville -14
Temple is slightly overvalued after a strong showing last week against Cincy. The cardinals offense is solid and Petrino is underrated as a head coach, especially with regard to his playcalling

Arkansas Pk and Over 45
This game could be surprisingly high-scoring due to several big plays for both teams. I expect a solid showing from Alabama on both sides of the ball. They play Ark tough every year and they will play with a lot of pride this week. However, I still believe Arkansas should be a 3-4 point favorite.

UK +9
The Hefty Lefty is due for a big game through the air against a quality SEC opponent. I think he gets it this week at home where the cats always seem to play tough beginning about this time of year.

So. Car. +16
Apparently "joe public" is already all over the Vols at home, but I think Lou and his boys keep this within 2 TD's. Classic letdown scenario for the vols as well.

That is all 12 of them. Good Luck to everyone this week!

I am sure I will add a few more later. And no one has to tell me that I bet way too many games each week. I already know but I love the action too damn much.

thanks for the info. I was referring to the early line movement from the opening number of 14'. I know the early money is not a reflection of "joe public" usually but I still like the gamecocks.

Finally found the Dirty Dozen.

Unfortunatly we agree on some of the same picks.

Agree:LSU; ND; Louisv; USC

Disagree with: TT; Miami(OH); Bama-over

The others I don't have an opinion on. I for some reason have a good feeling about Arkansas this weekend. However that is my heart talking and I am going on blind faith. Of course every indication points toward Ark beating us.

Good luck except for the Arkansas pick. We missed you in class today too. :thefinger
