Coming off a pretty good Week One. Just 3-3 in listed plays ATS, but hit my both bigger plays to put me in the green. I also hit a 5 team parlay (not listed) for a nice little payout, but that's beside the point and obviously doesn't count.
Week Two
Tennesee -11 vs. Southern Miss (2 units)
The blood has to be boiling for Tennessee, who took one on the chin a bit at Cal. They return home looking to get their season on track. The offense was pretty good against Cal and Ainge looked sharp. They should put points on the board all season and they should be even better this week with the return of last season's leading rusher LaMarcus Coker, back after serving a one-game suspension.
The Vols have won 12 straight home openers and being home at a raucous Neyland will boost them. Southern Miss will be game, but a pissed off Tennessee team has alot riding on this one and there's no way they let this one slip away.
Prediction: Tennessee 34 Southern Miss 20
Ball State -5 at Eastern Michigan (2 units)
Ball State suffered a tough 14-13 loss to Miami Ohio in week one despite a balanced offense that rolled up 338 yards. The defense was solid against the pass and forced two turnovers, the only problem was that Miami RB Brandon Murphy had a big game and broke off some big runs.
Eastern Michigan was inept as usual, getting handled by Pitt 27-3. The Eagles got outgained 357-143. The running game was abysmal, totaling just 42 yards and averaging just 1.7 yards per carry.
Ball State beat up EMU 38-20 last season. I see no reason why they shouldnt win by double digits here.
Prediction: Ball State 27 Eastern Michigan 13
Nebraska -7 at Wake Forest (bought 1 pt) (4 units)
Love this play, as do many posters on here. Nebraska looked lights out on offense last week, generating 625 yards and 52 points. Marlon Lucky had over 260 yards of total offense and 4 TDs.
Wake, meanwhile, blew a 14-0 lead and got gashed by the BC offense for 462 yards. They were good against the run, but Matt Ryan put up 408 passing yards and 5 Tds on the secondary.
If Wake concentrates on Lucky, I think Sam Keller should be able to throw the ball well. He was mediocre in week one, but with Lucky he didnt have to do much. He has the ability to have a big game and should have his first game since 2005 jitters out of his system.
Of course, Riley Skinner is listed as doubtful with a separated shoulder. That's a big blow to WF even though Brett Hodges looked pretty good as his replacement. The Deacs also suffered an injury on defense, losing starting DE Matt Robinson to a high ankle sprain.
I don't think Nebraska is going to be shut down here and Wake will have to match scores with a backup QB. The only thing that worries me is that USC looms next week for the Huskers and it could be a look-ahead game. Still, I'll take the superior team giving only one score.
Prediction: Nebraska 35 Wake Forest 21
Probably will add 1-2 more later. Good luck everyone! :booz:
