#158 Houston -3 +100 x3


One of UCLA's 4 wins in 2010 was a home blowout of Houston, 31-13. UCLA should continue with their porous defense of last year. The Bruins have a new offensive coordinator and as of now, they have yet to decide on a starting QB. The Cougars 6th year QB Case Keenum went out for the season in last years game. Keenum's credentials are outstanding, complimenting a good rushing attack. Keenum?s career numbers are among the best ever in college football history. He has thrown for 13,586 pass yds with a 69% completion rate, 107 TD and 41 INT. He also has 20 rushing touchdowns to boot. In addition to Sims, the Cougars are loaded with offensive talent. TB Bryce Beall (870 rush yds, 12 TD) and WR Patrick Edwards (1,100 rec yds, 13 TD) were top gainers on the team last year. Looking for UCLA to start slow and having to play catch up. UCLA is getting too much love in this game, IMO. Houston is 10-1 ATS over the past 3 seasons when Keenum is the starter.

Thought I'd get this favorite out of the way to start the season. i can't imagine to many more favs for the entire season. Good luck to everyone this year!

Thanks everyone. djv, I like your thinking on UNLV.

No write-up, just a solid line move situation.

#142 Western Kentucky +17 -110 x2

Dan, I consider it good luck. A 1-0 start, adding two more:

#146 Baylor under 53 -110 x2

Both teams have two many questions offensively to expect this a ton of scoring. Hopefully there will be limited turnovers for quick touchdowns.

USC -23.5 -110 x2

In addition to a new coaching staff, Minnesota is also adjusting to new QB MarQueis Gray who played wide receiver last year when Adam Weber was under center. Gray is much more mobile than Weber, but he has quite a challenge against an opportunistic USC defense that will likely improve with eight starters returning. Trojans QB Matt Barkley has plenty of experience, and is 7-0 with 258 pass YPG, 14 TD and 6 INT in non-conference play in his career.

For the Gophers to stay competitive in this game, they have to establish a ground game with Duane Bennett (529 rush yds, 4.3 YPC). This strategy didn?t work against USC last year, as Bennett gained just six yards on seven carries and the Gophers finished the game (a 32-21 home loss) with 83 yards on 37 rushes (2.2 YPC). With four starters gone from the offensive line, Minnesota could struggle running the football.


The Trojans are in good shape with their passing game under Barkley and reliable WR Robert Woods (792 rec yds, 6 TD). However, the rushing attack is a different story. The team?s leading ground gainer from last year, Marc Tyler (913 rush yds), is suspended for the season opener after two alcohol-related incidents plus some foolish comments to TMZ. The bulk of the rushing workload against Minnesota will fall to and sophomore Dillon Baxter (4.3 YPC) and junior Curtis McNeal who was academically ineligible last year. I think USC may be better off without Tyler.

The Trojans defense allowed 400 YPG (84th in nation) and gave up 32+ points in six games. But eight starters are back, including four really good ones -- DE Nick Perry (4 sacks), LB Devon Kennard (72 tackles), S T.J. McDonald (89 tackles, 3 INT) and CB Nickell Robey (4 INT).
