Here are my games for Saturday:

$300 Oklahoma State -7.....I believe the Big 12 is the best conference this season with the most returning quality starting qb's returning for a conference in the country. This Wazzu program is rebuilding. I hate taking a mid team in Big 12 laying a td (similar to Temple) on the road but feel they outclass Wazzu in nearly all areas. I look for a double the spread or more type of victory.

$1000 Missouri -8.5.....Mizzou outclasses Illini in every area. Better qb in Daniels. Better receivers. Better defense (10 guys returning). Illini has lost not only leader on offense in Mendenhall but also leader on defense with Leman. Mizzou, though they are not saying it, wants to take it out on Illini who stole their BCS bid last year. Juice has not played very well vs Mizzou in past and believe the d-line and Moore will keep that trend going. Mizzou takes Illini to the woodshed by 3 td's +!

Will be adding a few more shortly.

Adding...

$1000 Arizona -27.....Tuitama is one of the best 2 qb's in Pac 10 this year. This is a make or break year for Stoops. I see no mercy in this game for Idaho who has one of the worst defenses in Division 1. I see Arizona covering this number by half time in route to putting up close 70 points!

$300 Nebraska/Western Michigan under 59.....Pellini is going to make his mark on this program and will start with this game as the black shirts have a coming out party in Lincoln. I see this number being about 10 points too high.

$300 Ole Miss -7.5....This is Nutt's coming out party in Oxford. The cupboard is not bare and he has a nice line led by Mr. Uher who could be top pick in NFL draft. This series has been tight of late but Ole Miss starts the journey back to respectability in SEC starting here.

$500 Clemson -4.5.....Clemson is for real this year boys. You can throw all the chokes out the door. The only reason this line is dropping is past failures and Saban on the other sideline. Tigers make a major statement in this game.

$300 Utah State/UNLV over 47.5....This game is going to fly over the total in an unexpected shootout. I see close to 60 points scored in this one.

$300 Washington +13.5....Huskies' Coach Willingham on hot seat with young stud qb means this game will be closer than many expected even in Autzen. I think they could be a live dog in this one.

$300 Michigan State +5-05....Spartans are going to be in the Big 10 race imo and will give this Cal team fits in winning su. Only reason I am not putting more on this game is that it is being played in Berkeley.

CLEMSON -4.5

Not sure why you like the UNVL over. Utah State ran the fewest plays per game of any team in the NCAA's last year. Sanford will play close to the vest and run Frank the Tank all day. Weather is also supposed to turn nasty in the afternoon, so that could impact the passing games. This game looked like a stone cold under.

Nice work

Nice write ups, dude!

You might consider the following points in your 'capping thoughts...
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
U-Dub's QB Locker is the bright spot on an otherwise pedestrian offensive unit. That isn't to say that there won't be new guys that step up in the future, but he is one of only two returning players to garner All Pac-10 honors of any kind last season.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
What could be a distraction is the health of Locker, who suffered a strained left hamstring during the first week of camp. He's still limited and while he said this week he expects to be 100% for the <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:State><st1:place>Oregon</st1:place></st1:State> game, the reality is that he may be a little less so, something he even seemed to admit at one point.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
"It feels pretty good," Locker said this week. "It's still kind of a day-to-day thing and we'll see how it feels on Saturday."<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
While first games are typically a commonplace for mistakes, U-Dub having nine true freshmen playing their first college football game in a very hostile environment could multiply this effect.

We be Bad

As a Ducks fan, the WA play blows, but the rest look good to go.
