Saturday Plays Week 1

Could not have asked for a better start. 3 games, 3 wins, 3-0 start. 
First big day in college football today, lets jump on it!

Arkansas -10 (-115)
The Razorbacks had a very disappointing season last year going 4-8. Although they are in the toughest conference in the country (SEC), they will have a better season this year and try to prove that they belong with the big boys. At home vs the Ragin' Cajuns they want to start the season off right, pick the spread. 

Georgia -3 (-110)
I honestly think that after the Tide, the Bulldogs have the best offence around. A lot of the starters from last year are back and they led the country is yards per play last season. Although Clemson's D improved last year, it is not their strong suit. That's where the biggest mismatch is. The Dogs come out of Death Valley with a win and the spread. 

Syracuse +9 (-110)
I don't think that Penn State has improved that much from last year and they will have a sub par season again. Syracuse has a strong run game led by a veteran front line. I believe if that offensive line can push PSU's defence back, which they should, Syracuse will find ways to score and put up a tough fight. Pick the spread, but I wouldn't be surprised if Syracuse comes out of this game with a win.

LSU -4.5 (-110)
Another high profile game to cap off our saturday plays. LSU has a habit of winning non conference games and I think LSU will be jacked up for this one. They have a new offensive coordinator, Cam Cameron, who was the offensive play-caller for the Super Bowl champions last year. I'm excited to see this offence at work and I don't think TCU will be able to keep up.

Friday Play

That's how you start off the season! 2-0 yesterday, lets keep our strong start going.
Not many plays available today but we'll make do.

Texas Tech -4.5 (-110)
This is an interesting matchup. Normally, Texas Tech would be bigger favourites than -5. However, their starting qb, Michael Brewer, is out with back stiffness so they're starting walk-on freshman Baker Mayfield. I know, I know... shouldn't that be an indication to drop this game and move on? No.
Texas Tech's new head coach is Kliff Kingsbury, who was the offensive coordinator at Texas A&M last year. I seem to remember them doing pretty well with another "nobody qb." What was that players name again, Johnny something?
You get the picture. Proceed with caution but, for me, this storyline is too good to pass up. On his head coaching debut, Kingsbury will be amped up and his boys will be too.

Here we go Again!

Are you ready for some football!?
The boys of fall are back and so are we. Last year we only got onto the NCAA scene midway through the season but this year we plan on coming out guns blazing from week 1! Today we'll post the Thirsday game only but tune in tomorrow and Saturday for the rest of our week 1 plays.
Hey, lets start this thing off right..DB!

South Carolina -11.5
The #6 ranked Gamecocks are at home to start off the season. There is nothing but excitement and anticipation surrounding this team, and with good reason.  The powerful running offence and the shutdown defence, led by J.Clowney, are the headlines of this game. North Carolina is a team on the rise and are the future, but the Gamecocks are the now.

Bowling Green -3.5
Not as exciting as the battle for Carolina, but this matchup against Tulsa is a chance for a win. BG had a very respectable 8-5 record last year and they will win and cover for their home opener.

Some days the write-ups will be more detailed than others, it all depends on time.
Lets start the season off on the right foot!
