Tyrell Fenroy and Louisiana Lafayette are one of Tommy Rider's sleeper teams in CFB this season. As I finish up all my college football work for the upcoming season, I will be posting blog posts on my "bet on" and "bet against" teams soon. But today I was thinking of a team...

The Oklahoma Sooners Currently Sit Atop Tommy Rider's Power Rankings. After making power ratings for the SEC, the next conference I tackled was the Big 12. From top to bottom, the Big 12 is loaded this year and could wind up producing more good teams than any other conference in 2008, even the...

Willie Tuitama and the Arizona Wildcats will be an "over" bettor's dream this season. Do you like betting overs in college football? Do you enjoy sitting back and watching points being scored like a pinball machine? If you answered "yes" to both of those questions, than do...

Tim Tebow and the Gators sit atop the SEC, but just barely. As I finish going through the conferences and assigning my power rankings, I will post my results here at Pregame. I started with what most people believe is the toughest conference in the country, the SEC. I'm ranking these teams based...

Tommy Rider's power rankings have Zac Robinson and OSU rated higher than most heading into the season. With the start of football season just two short months away, it got me wondering if any of you do specific things to prepare for an upcoming sport in regards to handicapping? I'm sure we...

West Virginia Mountaineers Note : My two favorite college football teams are West Virginia and SMU. WVU because of Major Harris and SMU because of the Pony Express. I hated the hiring of Bill Stewart as head coach. I think the program will most likely head south in 2009 but this team is still loaded...

Ohio State Buckeyes The Good News : While only Ohio State backers want to see them make a third trip to the National Championship Game after two straight blowouts, CFB fans everywhere may be disappointed in early January. That's because the 2008 Buckeyes could be even better than the two teams...

For some reason or another, people are drawn to certain athletes. We all have our favorites and we all have people that we hate, even though we don't know these people personally. If we went by how nice people really are, Tedy Bruschi wouldn't be one of the most popular Patriots of all-time....

USC Trojans The Good News : Defense. The men of Troy will have one of the stingiest defensive units in the country this year. For my money, LB Rey Maualuga is the best defensive player in the country. It isn't often you will see a college linebacker dominant a game like Maualuga did in last...

Florida Gators The Good News : The offense. There is speed, speed, speed and more speed. Tim Tebow should be even better in his second season as the full-time starter which is frightening since he won the Heisman Trophy last year. Tebow will still be a major part of the Gators potent rushing attack...

I had a lot of teams in the mix for this third spot but I went with the Sooners because of their strong offensive and defensive lines and firepower on offense. Oklahoma Sooners The Good News : OU has arguably the best offensive and defensive lines in the country and when you can control the...

I thought this might be an interesting topic to explore. I see a lot of people on the board rooting for their favorite teams in all different sports but I would be interested to know which one is your absolute favorite? Someone like Matty is a regional fan, meaning he likes all the teams from Chicago...

The Bulldogs are most people's preseason pick to win it all this year. But in order to accomplish that feat, UGA will need to get through a schedule that's as tough as they come. Georgia Bulldogs The Good News : If defense and a strong running game still wins championships, the Dawgs...

We start off our 50 straight days of CFB team previews with a squad I think has a good shot to be playing for all the marbles at the end of the year. Missouri Tigers The Good News : This team is loaded. I don't know if they could beat one of the SEC powerhouses head to head but in my opinion...

After Paul Konerko cranked a two-run jack in the bottom of the 15th inning Wednesday night to cover the RL, Mr. Freeze came up with the idea of discussing our most improbable gambling wins of all-time. I thought that would make for a great blog post to have everyone share their stories. Mine came...

The Patriots offense was one for the ages last season. After breaking virtually every major NFL passing and scoring record, not to mention coming within one minute of a perfect season, the Patriots passing attack could be even more dangerous in 2008. Not a very comforting thought for NFL defensive coordinators...
