Post your CBB pick of the week POW here for week #1, just like last year. Who will be the top dog this year. Wonderdog was #1 winning the playoff from Jimmymo. This week only you can have two picks one for the USC-VT game and one for the games from Thur Sept 2 - Sat Sept 4. Sunday games will start the second week and i will post a new thread as week #2 picks. As with last year I will post the updated stats in the Handycapping Forum (I will try to have a link directly in this thread but I have not been able to get that feature to work like it did last year.

The rules are very simple, only on game per week (except as noted above for week #1) If you do pick more than one game it will considered a parly and all games must win for you to receive credit as a win.

Also the most important, and i have no control over this factor is the spread. Regardless of when you post your pick the spread will be the closing line at the start of the game from wsex or station casino here in las vegas. All picks can be changed or posted up to game time but I would like to see everyone post at least 1 hour before is possible. Remember the purpose of this thread is to give other in this thread and forum to have an opportunity to either follow or fade the cappers. Once again it's the closing line that I'm using for the won & losses, so great if you got the game at +35 3 weeks before at the USSR Sports Bet America Web site, and we all know the especially early in the year the lines can move 4 plus point either way. So good luck to all in 2004.

I guess I'll get this started off this year. I'm going with USC and giving the 17.5 on Saturday. I'm feeling that this is going to be uuuuuuuuuugly. Anywhere from 4-7 touchdowns difference. Tech lost everyone that was anyone. The media has made us feel Tech was a national power, but in reality, they were only a .500 team in Big East play their last 2 years.

truely, you dont have to pick the USC game as a POW your choice. I'll be passing on that game and will be posting one of the other games as my POW prob later today or tomorrow. I just combined the usc game with the ones later in the week so that i didnt have to have just one game as a POW

truely, the short answer is yes one of which must be the usc-vt game. you always have the option of picking two or more games every week, but if you do pick more than one (other than this week, it will be considered a parly, and both must win for the capper to receive credit as a win for that week. good luck

Passing on the USC-VT game, and taking Utah minus the points vs A&M.

welcome back lsu pete, and good luck this year. Looks like everyone is on VT and the Under. Last year that was a bad sign, as most of the time when a majority on them lost.

Thanks Pops! I agree, but I cannot lay 18 points with the offensive line that USC is going with in the first game of the season. I'm SURE they will gell as the season continues, but I know from experience that Frank beamer will have his defense ready to play.
