The Gold Sheet EXTRA!!! Technical Play of the Week
TEXAS TECH over New Mexico ...Red Raiders have won and covered last 3 years vs. Lobos and last five overall in series dating to ?95. Meanwhile, UNM 4- 10 vs. line its last 14 away from Albuquerque.
NFL KEY RELEASES:
CAROLINA by 15 over Jacksonville
MINNESOTA by 5 over Green Bay
OVER 48 points in the New Orleans-Seattle game
NCAA KEY RELEASES:
MEMPHIS by 3 over Mississippi
PURDUE by 22 over Bowling Green
FLORIDA STATE by 27 over Maryland
CAROLINA 24 - Jacksonville 9 ?Bright, new HC Jack Del Rio (Car. def. coord. LY) has made great initial impression in Jacksonville, winning 3 of 4 exhibitions & becoming well-liked immediately as a personable change vs. the ever-serious Tom Coughlin. However, this is an extremely tough matchup for Del Rio?s rebuilding team, as Panther coach John Fox will unleash his voracious front four of Julius Peppers, Brentson Buckner, Kris Jenkins, and Mike Rucker (combo 39 sacks LY) full bore on Jaguar QBs (How long will Brunell be the starter; or, even, with Jags?), who will not have the benefit of star WR Jimmy Smith (suspension). Car. sure it can hold more 4th- Q leads TY with hammering RB Stephen Davis on Board. (99-Jacksonville -9' 22-20...SR: Jacksonville 2-0).
Minnesota 28 - GREEN BAY 23 ?Not surprisingly, scouts report these two bitter rivals have been focused primarily on this game for much of the preseason (Mike Tice?s house is painted green & gold, to constantly remind him of the team he has to beat). But the matchups appear to favor the ascending Vikings (8-5 SU last 13 LY) over the descending Packers (allowed 4.8 ypc LY; 31st in NFL). Tice reportedly loves his big OL, especially 6-8 LT Bryant McKinnie (a holdout first part of LY). Minny has a new, more aggressive, less complex def. scheme under new def. coord. George O?Leary.
OVER 48 total points SEATTLE 31 - New Orleans 30 ?Best option in this anticipated shootout is probably the ?over.? After all, Seattle?s offense came together for 29 ppg last 6 games LY, with several opposing def. coords. talking about Mike Holmgren?s clever schemes & calls. Seahawks went ?over? 5 of those 6, while N.O.went ?over? 12 of 16 LY and is 21-9 ?over? on the road. Both sought to help their defenses in the offseason, but Seattle has already lost starting DT Chad Eaton (knee). Saintsinsiders are calling top draft pick DT Jonathon Sullivan an initial disappointment. Offense should rule, with neither defense trustworthy.
