Texas A&M @ South Carolina-10.5 O/U 58
Under Sumlin's 26 game tenure so far at A&M, he has only been defeated by double digits once, which was last season at LSU 10-31...This South Carolina team is primed for a big season & Spurrier's SC Teams have been know to act a Donkey on CFB opening night & I almost get a DejaVu feel of when Southern Miss traveled up to Columbia a few years ago & when South Carolina again opened up with a win over Larry Fedora's Tarheels last season in 27-10 type fashion....I think both teams stay run heavy for the most part of the game & that will be the difference, in South Carolina will make some stops & A&M will not...Think the Cocks Mike Davis gives us a Heisman preview as he breaks S.C.'s single game record with 3 rushing touchdowns by one player...Defense is the difference here...Cocks Roll 34-20
Ole Miss-10 Vs. Boise State (Georgia Dome) O/U 54
Ole Miss will dominate both lines of scrimmage & have matchup problems all over the place for the Bronco's small DB's...On the Flip side, the Rebels are stout on defense & should feast on a Bronco program that is decline from their Cinderella dynasty of the past...Rebels take this one rather easily, but Freeze does not like to run up the score, so a 37-13 type drumming is in order
Temple @ Vandy-14 O/U 52
Vandy still has plenty of high caliber athletes from the Franklin era & have a stout defense..it's their offense that is in question...Love for this game to stay low scoring & don't like laying double digits with a new coach & QB in place, but do lean their way...I look for the Commadores to cruise with a 27-10 type win....
Alabama-26 Vs. West Virginia (Georgia Dome) O/U 55.5
Bama has been pure gold in Out Of Conference Season Openers & I see no reason to expect any different...The Tide will look to instill confidence in their QB & will simply out muscle the Mountaineers in every aspect of the game, with the exception of Special Teams......This one gets Ugly & we prolly see both Bama QB's Play in a 42-10 type beatdown...Don't forget Nick Saban is from West Virgina
Arkansas @ Auburn-21 O/U 57
Hogs have had all season to prep for the Speedy offensive attack, but their Offense will be too vanilla to stymie Ellis Johnson's 2nd year Tiger defense...Love this game under better than anything & expect for this game to be competive until the 2nd half, when the Gus Bus opens it up & pulls away by Double Digits...That 3 Touchdown spread is about Spot on IMO....lookin for about a 31-10 Auburn victory
Clemson @ Georgia-7.5 O/U 57
I think Clemson has a shot at winning this game SU, but think the Over is the best bet...First to 40 should win, in what might resemble a track meet...
Southern Miss @ Ms. State-30.5 O/U 56
Dan Mullen is a asshole & will look to run up the score against a team that is still under Reconstruction....I look for it to stay Under the total unless Ms. State socres that many by their self....It's going to be a blood bath of epic proportion...like 42+ points to nothing...but it might take the Dogs a minute to get it cranked up...
LSU-5 Vs. Wisconsin (Houston Tx) O/U 50
LSU is my Darkhorse to win the National Championship & have been pure gold in Out Of Conf. Season openers & I don't expect any different this team....They matchup well with Wisconsin in the trenches, but are a lot faster & more athletic team...This game will feature a lot of ground and pound, but the difference is LSU will bend & Wisconsin will break...Love the Tigers to handle business by double digits in a 35-16 type beat down!
Idaho @ Florida-35 O/U 51
Gators have been all to notorious for shitting a brick opening CFB season as double digit favorites against weak O.O.C. opponents...Florida is looking for their offensive identity and should have little problem moving the ball against the Vandals...Their defense should simply dominate the Vandal's offense, but will they is the question?....Gators should be able to roll 45-0, but cant help of thinking of past season openers where they had to squeak out last second wins against teams like Bowling Green.....I don't even want to ponder a play on this game....
