Gravy Plays for Week 1 of College Football

[Gravy]

Well back again for a new year of College Football and can hardly wait until Thursday Night.Here is what I like for this week:

Miami,Ohio (-3) -Bought the Hook - What looks like a low scoring affair I like the Redhawks to take care of business in Oxford as Raudabaugh steps up this year and brings home the win here 24-14

Temple (-7) Waited to fricken long to buy this early but with all this experience coming back and Army struggling on both sides of the ball with only 9 guys back I think the Owls take care of business here to start the run to a bowl game this year for the Owls.

Utah (+4) -Bought Hook - This game reminds me of the Georgia Tech Vs Notre Dame game last year as people thought the Irish at home would knock off the Rambling Wreck.Im not sipping the Kool Aid up in Ann Arbor quite yet as Utah with the spread should take care of business if they play smart with no turnovers and win in the BIG House.

Northwestern (-11) This is a game that I like as I know that Northwestern is 0-5 as a favorite under Fitzgerald but you have to remember that when Suttin went down last year so did the Wildcats and with him back and an experienced team around him and the Defense should be better with Hankwitz running the show this is my darkhorse team to scare alot of teams in the BIG 10 this year and think that Syracuse will not be able to match score for score and see the Wildcats winning 38-17.

Other games that I like with no writeups:

Wyoming -11

Western Mich +14.5

East Carolina +9.5 -Im waiting for +10

Pitt -13

I'm still waiting for some line movements as the great Dr Bob LOL should do that for us on Thursday and see what happens with that.

BOL Gravy. Wish you on Texas. Might be a bad thing the way I'm going today.

Something tells me Mack Brown might play big bully on the old man tonight since the old man ran his mouth and Florida Atl is missing some key pieces for the game tonight on both sides of the ball.

 

[MattMillen+]

I'm hoping so. Mack likes to send a message early in the year.

LOOKS GOOD

BEST OF LUCK MY FRIEND!:youmad:

A quick recap on the weekend so far:

I go 7-5 ATS for the week as UNLV fricken gets backdoored but what do you expect and Mack Brown putting a ass kicking on the old man like I thought he would.A small profit none the less so far this weekend as I wont discuss what I put on a game thats my buisness.


I might have something later on for these games today!

 

[Gravy]

here is what I like for Sunday's action:


Kentucky +3 -Alot of respected handicappers here on the RX like Kentucky here and I have to agree with the better defense and running game but starting a new QB on the road which could be bad news.Louisville is very thin on Offense with no experience WR's or RB's for that matter and think they will struglle mightly today and there defense is no great shakes either as they replace a thin secondary and were putrid last year.I see a 27-20 type game in favor of Kentucky.

Under 55.5 - see above reasons and can see this dropping some more before game time

Colorado/Colrado State under 56- Think Hawkins will be deciding factor here and see Colorado winning but alot of new faces on both sides of the ball and can see both offenses struglling here in this matchup.Also the Colorado State Kicker is out for the year and have a freshman doing the honors today which could bold well for an under.


BOL to everybody today ! Gravy

Well had a nice Sunday going 3-0 ATS as the Buffs & Rams game gives me a REAL scare on the total but I will take it none the less as I have been on the wrong side of those enough times.Now my overall record YTD stands at 10-5 ATS.Here is what I like today in these games:

Fresno State (+3.5) My dumb ass should have taken it at + 4 last night but waited to long and every tom,dick & harry are on Fresno today.Going to go with Fresno as I think their experience with Brandstater at QB on Off and I think their Defense gets a pash rush on Teel because he has been known to make mistakes and now has to take a bigger role in the offense since Rice has left and now has to become the leader now Im not sold on that yet.Rutgers has some O-line issues and see what RB steps up to take Ray Rice's spot today will be key as no running game means Fresno can pin their ears back and go after Teel but he does have big receivers but Fresno has a good secondary to counter that and matches up well with them.The only fly in the ointment is Fresno special teams as they are breaking a new punter & kicker and Rutgers coach Schiano is good at special teams it seems to me.l think this game lands about 27-20 but wouldnt shock me to see a high scoring affair but I cant see it right now.

Tennesee (-7) I cannot see UCLA doing much with thier issues at QB with a San Diego St transfer running the helm in Craft and just think the youth in UCLA on both sides of the ball hurt them in this matchup.I think that Tennessee will pound Foster behind that big offensive line tonight and have Crompton do just enough throwing the football and win this game like 27-10.


BOL to everybody today and be back Thursday with the weekend card !
