Thursday Games:

Oregon (0-0) at Boise State (0-0)
Last year was the 1st ever Meeting between these 2 Teams in which B St Won at Oreg 37-32..Oreg is Coming in off a 2008 Year that they were 10-3 and are 8-1 in Season Openers..Oreg will have a New Head Coach in Chip Kelly and Only have 9 Returning Starters which is losing alot of Talent to Start Year with New Kids and Coach..B St is Coming off a 12-1 Season and has 11 Returning Starters under Head Coach Chris Peterson which has Went 2 of the Last 3 Reg Seasons Unbeaten..B St has not Lost a Reg Season Home game on the Blue Turf since 2001 going 49-0..(I Just want to Say..Wow)..Both are Highly Ranked and you might think Oreg is Ready for Payback BUT Remember this..B St Beat Oreg and was 12-1 while Oreg went 10-3 but Finished #10th in the Final Polls while B St Finished #11th although Winning Head to Head..Food for Thought..TRENDS: Oreg is 4-1 ATS last 5 vs WAC..Oreg is 14-6 ATS last 20 Turf Games..B St is 8-0 ATS last 8 as Home Fav of 3 1/2 to 10 pts and 15-3 as Fav of 3 1/2 to 10 pts..B St is 5-1 ATS on last 6 Thursdays..Oreg is 6-0 Over last 6 vs WAC..Oreg is 6-1-1 Over last 8 games of Turf..B St is 6-2 Under last 8 as Fav of 3 1/2 to 10 pts..B St is 11-4 Under last 15 Non Conf games..**Note this Trends I had already had before Line Floated bewteen 3 and 3 1/2..Here is What I See..Both Teams should have a Solid Year but I see B St at Home to have the Upper Edge with Coaching..Players and Home Field and Trust me the Players/Coaches and Fans have not forgot the 12-0 Start then Beat Oregon and Finish behind them in the Polls..I Like the Over but the Side of Boise St more...So..

Thursday Games:

Utah St (0-0) at Utah (0-0)
Utah St from the WAC is coming off a 3-9 Season and have a 1st Year Coach Gary Anderson which had been Utah D Coor for last 5 Years..Should know Utah Game..Utah St has lost 11 Staright to Utah in this "Battle of the Brothers" Game..Love the Titles because Players Love to Play Rivals..Utah St does return 16 Starters with 9 Back on Offense which will Help..Utah St is 3-1 ATS last 4 Trips to Utah and Lost the 1 ATS by 1/2 of a Pt..Utah is Coming off a 13-0 Year that they Finished with a High ending up #2nd in Polls at End of Season..Unbeaten with a Sugar Bowl W over Bama 31-17..In the Game Last year Utah won 58-10 at Utah St..Utah is 14-6 ATS last 20 Played vs Utah St But Only has 12 returning Starters Losing QB Johnson and his almost 3000 yds Passing..TRENDS: Utah St is 4-0-1 ATS last 5 Games Overall and 4-1 ATS last 5 vs MWC...Utah is 4-0 Last 4 Overall and 4-1 ATS Last 5 as Fav...Utah St is 4-0 Over Last 4 Games in Sept..Utah is 5-2-1 Under last 8 Games Overall...Utah is 8-0 Over last 8 Non Conf..Utah is 9-1 Over last 10 as Fav..11-2 Over last 13 games Overall and 21-5 Over as Fav of 10 1/2 or Greater...Here is what I See..Utah had a GREAT 2008 Season and Finished Strong but must start a New QB while Utah St has Build a Team up that Won 3 WAC Games for the 1st Time since joining in 2005..Also the Game looks like a Under but I lean to Over with Total being at Mid 50's..So..

N. Texas (0-0) at Ball St (0-0)
Short and Sweet..Last year Ball St was a Bear in the MAC going 12-0 in Reg Season and have Back RB that will be Playing a N Texas Team with a New QB coming off a 1-11 Year..But Ball St is Hurting since thay lost their QB..Most of the O-Line and have a New Coach..N Texas does have 16 Starters back...Here is what I See is that the Line is Off by a TD or so Early on Based on what Ball St did in 2008 and what N Texas has done in the Past..Game will be Closer but Total is to Iffy..So..
