Jlip9 week 2 picks

[Jlip9]

Rough week one guys. Not often that the dogs dominate week 1, but thats what happened. Week 2 thoughts to come.

 

[Jlip9]

First game I like is:

UNC -4.5 over UCONN

 

[Flsunman]

Whats your read on UGA/SC? Hard one to figure out.

 

[Jlip9]

UGA/SC is always tough to predict. Will UGA win? YES, but with both teams struggling to score in week one, giving a touchdown is tough. This game could be 24-7 or it could be 10-6.

If you put a gun to my head, im taking UGA minus the points.
The under is usually solid in this game

PICKS THUS FAR:

TEXAS -33.5

Texas makes a living on beating crappy teams (which they play plenty of). This game is no different. Wy gave up over 400 yards to Weber st. and I would imagine Texas can do that...in the first half. I see a 67-7 type game here.

Southern Cal -6.5

Do I love this game? No, but I would hate myself if I dont take it. USC is just better.

 

[Jlip9]

ADDING:

UGA under 38

Both these teams looked pretty weak on Offense last week. This series always leads to low scoring games. Look for more of the same here.

 

[Flsunman]

They couldn't make that total low enough..

 

[Jlip9]

I know right?

Agree 100% that the Longhorns can name the score in their upcoming game vs. Wyoming. :toast:

I read the following analysis proffered by Phil Steele in this week's PS:

Texas 41 WYOMING 6 [FONT=Helvetica-Narrow,Helvetica-Narrow][FONT=Helvetica-Narrow,Helvetica-Narrow]- Not quite sure how WY with a 30,000 seat stadium landed a HG with UT but the Horns figure to be well represented here in what should be the biggest gm ever in Laramie. HC Christensen was the OC at Mizzou and LY his Tigers scored 31 at Tex (UT all’d 16 ppg at home). Of course, he does not have QB Daniel, WR Maclin or TE Coffman and in that gm Missouri had 3 pts at the half and most of their points came with the game long over. Wyoming is 5-2 SU hosting a current BCS team upsetting Virginia (‘07) and Ole Miss (‘04). Wyoming’s edges are that Texas rarely plays in altitude or in front of this size of a crowd and they have a legitimate revenge game on deck vs TTech who dealt them their only loss in ‘08. Only question here is will the Horns get backdoored (LW up 59-13 before last TD spoiled cover) as they have huge edges across the board (off #3-114, def #4-61 and ST #7-116).[/FONT]

Also, I was shocked to see how close Weber State got to Wyoming.

Here's the complete boxscore of the Weber State-Wyoming game:

Seeing these complete stats really tells you how God aweful Wyoming is.

Wyoming only converted 3 out 15 3rd down attempts against lowly Weber State AT HOME?!?!?!?!

If Weber State hadn't tossed 5 INTs, who knows? Maybe they would have even won?!?!?!

This is the type of game QB Colt McCoy will be salivating at. His Heisman campaign continues with a dominant effort I predict.

If Weber State can pass for 322 yards and 3 TDs against the Cowboys, imagine what McCoy will do! YIKES!
