Jdiddy Week 6 with small a writeup

[Jdiddy8four]

I have posted a lot of my opinions and picks in others' threads, and I have decided to officially keep track of my record.

I'll continuously add picks throughout the week.

*= 1 Unit (0-0)
**= 2 Unit (0-0)
***= 3 Unit (0-0)
****= 4 Unit (0-0)
*****= 5 Unit (0-0)

UNLV @ Colorado State.
This is a game that caught my eye right away. UNLV is coming off of a disappointing loss against their rivals Nevada. This is a defining game for UNLV and believe me, they will be ready. UNLV QB Omar Clayton is coming off of being named Mountain West co-offensive player of the week for his passing/rushing efforts last week. Although Colorado State plays well at home, they are still a terrible team. They give up 4.50 yards per carry, which is good news for RB Frank Summers which averages 4.3 yards per carry.

On the other side of the ball, the UNLV defense should have no problems breaking down the weak offensive line of CSU (which has already given up 11 sacks). The one stat that is deceiving, is the fact that UNLV is giving up 5.23 yards per carry. UNLV isn't as bad against the rush as it may appear. The only time they have "game defining" problems is when the opposing team has a mobile QB (Utah, Iowa State, and Nevada). CSU QB Billy Farris is anything but mobile. This will allow UNLV to be more textbook with their defense which will provide more comfort. The last time UNLV faced a non mobile QB, was against Arizona State, where they won 23-20.

Overall, Colorado State has played terrible agianst bad teams, and even worse against good teams. I don't see how they can even come close to stopping Omar Clayton and the UNLV attack.

My pick: UNLV +1.5 ***

Akron @ Kent
I don't have much to say about this one other than the fact that Akron will be ready to roll after nearly beating Cinn last week. Akron is led by Chris Jacquemain, who threw for 255 yards, one touchdown and one interception as they lost 17-15 to Cincinnati in Week 5. He is an underrated QB whose stats are masked by a terrible outing on 9/13 against Ball St. Kent will also be without one of their leading rushers Jarvis. Both teams rely heavy on their RB depth to help keep the opposing defense from becoming one dimensional. Overall, Akron's passing game will be too much for Ken't defense. I look for an easy double digit win from Akron
My Play: Akron -3.5 ***

Ohio State @ Wisconsin
I'm keeping it simple here; PRIOR. Prior is getting better and better every week. He will only gain more confidence as Wells gets more reps in. I know Wisconsin plays tough at home, but Ohio State is ready to show the nation what they have expected to see all season.

My play: Ohio State -1.5 *

I'm adding one more tonight (mainly because it is the only game on tonight).

La Tech @ Boise St.
Boise St has just dominated La Tech in the past, and does an even better job at home. Although there are some skeptics, this Boise St offense is still very explosive. Freshman QB Moore is putting up crazy numbers this year given his experience (or lack there of). I expect Boise to cover, but I don't see this game going over. That is why I am making 2 small plays tonight.
My Plays: Boise -24 *
Under 57 *

Adding 2 plays on tonight's games:

Memphis @ UAB
UAB doesn't stand much of a chance stopping Memphis' offense. Memphis has a huge arsenal of WR, and their rushing game is looking more solid as the weeks progress. UAB also has a strong passing game, but in the end, their defense will hang them out to dry.
My play: Memphis -3 **

Pitt @ USF
Although Pitt is only ranked 68th in overall offense, it will be USF's toughest test of the season. USF is in a familiar place last year being ranked in the top 10. They are definitely going to try and avoid another terrible streak of loses. USF will more and likely win, but I'm very conifedent that they will not cover.
My play: Pitt +13.5 ***
