NCAA Week 10

Only late plays today, not including an early teaser. If it goes well, maybe we'l start including more documented teasers. Here we go!

Georgia Tech -11.5 (-110)
The Yellow Jackets have been playing quality ball lately. They've won 2 straight and I don't expect them to let up at home. GT has the number 4th ranked run offence in the country. Meanwhile, Pitts has not been impressive lately. They're 1-2 in the last 3, including losses to Navy and Virginia Tech.

Texas Tech +1 (-105)
I love this line and I love this game. It should be a great game to watch. It's the TT air attack vs the Oklahoma State defence. I just can't see TT not having a big game. It's primetime, they're at home, and it's a top 20 matchup.

**Teaser 7Pts**
Iowa +16 & Boston College +11.5
2.5U to win 1.9U

NFL Week 8

Atlanta Falcons +3 **2 Units
I know the Falcons have been bad this year, but they haven't been Arizona Cardinals bad. The Falcons still have Matt Ryan at the helm who has lead Atlanta to a 3rd ranked passing offence. Meanwhile, the Cardinals have given up over 30 points in their last 2 games. If the Falcons lose this one, Mike Smith might as well just pack his bags now.

Patriots/Dolphins Over 45
Main reason behind this pick: Tom Brady is due for a big game. Last week the Patriots got shafted by a bizarre overtime call that cost them the game. This week, the Patriots are at home, against a division rival... enter Tom Terrific. The Patriots overs have been hit or miss this year, but this week I think Belichick and the boys are going to come out flying at home.

Seattle Seahawks -12
Normally I hate big spreads in the NFL. These are professional athletes representing billion dollar organizations and it's a business, not a college party. Having said that, the St Louis Rams are hurting. Sam Bradford, who I think is inching closer and closer to "bust-status," has gone down and is out for the season. Now they have to play Seattle, a divisional opponent... with a spread under 2 tds, I like the Hawks.

Friday, 25 October 2013

NCAA WEEK 9

Rutgers -6.5
Ya want to know why the NFL is littered with Rutgers alumni? It's because they produce smart team players. Like years past, this squad is a smart team that knows how to control the ball and their offense can manage games. I love the spread vs a overrated Houston squad.

Oklahoma St -13.5
This isn't as much about the matchup as it is about the spread. Just breaking the top 25, I love that the cowboys have a spread under 2 tds. They don't want to be pushed out of the top 25 thanks to a bad Iowa St team. Look for them to punish their opponents and run the score tomorrow.

Missouri -3
These are two teams headed in the opposite direction. I really expected more out of SC but they have disappointed me pretty much all year. Missouri has an explosive offense and the gamecocks will not be able to keep up

Sunday, 20 October 2013

NFL Week 7

Packers/Browns Over 45
The Pack are 4th in league passing yards and 5th in rushing yards. Their pass defence is not strong and Weeden has been surprisingly mediocre recently. As long as the Browns can put up a couple touchdowns, the Packers can do the rest.

Baltimore Ravens +1 **2 Units
There's something about the Raven that when they enter Heinz field, they step up their game. With only a 1 point spread, I like the Ravens to take this but expect a close game. These two teams are a great rivalry and they always bring their best games when they play each other.

San Fran 49ers -3.5
This line has been dropping all week and I can't figure out why. I love the Niners in this matchup regardless of where they are and how good the Titans are playing. Expect the San Fran D to pressure Fitzpatrick. On the offence, Frank Gore is back to bounding the ball and just in general the Niners are back to playing 49er football.

NCAA Week 8

Biggest NCAA play card yet this year so a little bit quicker write-ups. Here we go!

West Virginia +5.5
WV goes up against the 16th ranked Texas Tech this week. Texas has been on a roll and climbing up the offensive and defensive rankings, but that just may be their downfall this week. They haven't had to face a string opponent since week 3 when they beat TCU. I don't think Texas will know how to react in a close game. Look for WV to give em a tough game.

Baylor Over 76 (-115)
When there is a spread of 33 favouring a team, like Baylor this week, it;s hard not to consider the over. Iowa St. is not a strong team and Baylor is putting up points at will. On ESPN: PTI this past week, the boys discussed how this Baylor offence may be the best Baylor offence, EVER! Sorry RGIII.

Clemson +3 
Hands down, this is the game of the week. This is the one everyone has been waiting for, including the Clemson faithful. #5 Florida St. comes in to face the #3 Tigers. All year the Tigers haven't been given enough respect in the book and as an underdog in their own stadium, this week is no different. I love the Tigers at home, I have them to win straight-up.

South Carolina -8
Tennessee has been getting better and better, despite last week's tough loss to Georgia. With Clowney back, the Cocks are ready to feast on their opponents and climb back up that board. I think the biggest aspect of this game is Carolina's balanced offence, I can't see Tennessee stopping it.

Washington +3 
 Much like Clemson, Washington doesn't get enough respect. Sure they lost to Stanford and Oregon in their past two games, but who wouldn't!? I think they come out guns blazin against the Sun Devils and get back to winning. Before those two losses, they were 4-0 and the surprise of the SEC.

UCLA +5
After the Clemson game, this is the game that grabs my attention the most. But hey, Im a sucker for some good SEC ball. And that's what we'll get with this game. The 5-0 Bruins catch Stanford at a good time, having just lost an upset to Utah. Some may say last week was a fluke, but Stanford has some issues on the offence. Their passing offence is 89th in the league, sub-par at best. And their running game is 42nd. That's not up to SEC standards and the Bruins crush Stanford in those two stats by a mile. Take the big bad Bruins.

NFL Week 6

Detroit Lions -3 (Even) **2 Units
Nope. Sorry, I don't buy it. Not the Browns, especially against the Lions. The Lions have emerged as an explosive offensive team thanks to the addition of Reggie Bush. Not because of his running game, but because he's huge a weapon out of the backfield for Stafford. He's an easy target out on the flanks who has the ability to open up a defence. Weeden is back under center as Hoyer is officially out. Unfortunate injury, but their cinderella story is over.

Green Bay Packers -3 (-105) ** 2 Units
Known as a prolific passing offense (fourth in the NFL), the Packers now have a running game to back it up (fifth in the NFL). For the Ravens, Flacco still does not impress me as a, self-proclaimed, elite quarterback. Eight interceptions and only five touchdowns.... moving on. Their defence is their backbone but even they have been average this year. It's the same strong Packers offence against the not so typical Ravens defence... Let's go cheese heads.

Cincinnati Bengals -7 (Even) 
The Bengals are coming off a wacky win over the Patriots, but maybe that's what they needed. The skill and coaching staff is there, but they just haven't been clicking. I believe that they needed an ugly win over a team like the Patriots to get them moving forward. The biggest mismatch here is the Bengals D versus the Bills offensive line. If they can rattle Brady enough to get him off his game, the Bills are in for a long day. Their pass rush is tenacious and the Bills will not stop it.

Indianapolis Colts -1 (Even)
Ummm. The Colts just knocked off the NFC's best, Seattle Seahawks, and the spread is only -1. What? The Colts have won three in a row, including victories over the Hawks and the 49ers. They are hitting their stride and the Chargers are in the wrong place at the wrong time this week. The Chargers defence is 27th against the pass and 24th against the run... again...WHAT!? Please take the Colts.

NCAA Week 7

So we've been having a solid season in NCAA so far with 6 consecutive winning weeks and today we're going to be making it 7.

Look for us to add plays later this afternoon, check back often!

Baylor -17 (-115) 1u
Baylor rolled last week and covered the large spread and we look for them to roll again this week. KSU isn't that much of a talented team and Baylor typically has more scoring in the latter half of the game since the starters go deeper into games. Look for them to cover.

Missouri +7 (-110) 2u
Not much to say here. We have a depleted Georgia team who have an extremely tough schedule this season and Mizzou has been showing that they are for real this season. Look for them to keep it extremely close and perhaps even steal the W here.

Wisconsin -10 (-110)
Northwestern lost an extremely tough game last week and now have to come in to Wisconsins barn and battle their tough road game. After two close losses, Wisconsin isn't going to sit and watch another oen get away from them. Watch them come out and dominate, scoring early and often. Like the Over in this situation as well but it'll remain a lean.

Best of luck everyone

NFL Week 5

We've been struggling in the past few weeks when it comes to the NFL and hope to turn it around this Sunday. We like a lot of plays on today's card so hopefully this is the turning point for our season! Because of the amount of plays, our write-ups will be a little different today. Quick and concise.

Kansas City -3 (-110)
-Efficient offense being run by Alex Smith, few turnovers.
-No Locker, Fitzpatrick doesn't bring the same type of energy to the Titans huddle.

New Orleans -1 (-110) **2 Units
-Surprisingly only a 1-point underdog.
-Offence too good for the bears, won't be able to keep up.
-Solid pass defense.

New York Giants -3 (+120)
-Bettors beware. Worth a look when you consider the odds.
-They can't go 0-16. Betting that this is their week.

Carolina -2 (-110)
-Arizona has not looked good. Lucky to get a win last week, only scoring 13 points.
-The Panthers have an underrated rushing game, solid against the run too.

San Diego -4.5 (-110) **2 Units
-Have been on a great run for us lately, hoping that it continues.
-Have a versatile passing attack. Rivers using all his weapons, especially out of the backfield.
-The Raiders defense is horrid.

NCAA Week 6

Quick post here, will try and update the write ups for the later games. Lets keep our strong NCAA plays going.

Mich st. +1.5 

Later games****

Georgia -12
Ever since their week 1 loss to Clemson, Georgia has been on a mission. They've put up over 40 points in their last three games and beating big teams like South Carolina and LSU. While Tennessee has a solid running game, their passing offence has been dismal, averaging only 154 yards a game. They simply won't be able to keep up with the Dogs.    

LSU -8
Miss St. showed their inexperience last week when they faced off against Alabama. While Miss has been in and out of the top 25 rankings for the first time in a while, teams like Bama and LSU thrive on the big stage. Much like last week, inexperience will be Miss State's downfall.

NFL Week 4

Ok. It begins now. Our NCAA record has been amazing going 13-5, but its time to turn our NFL season around. If we can get these plays going too, we'l be a force. Let's go!

 Cincinnati Bengals -4 (-115)
The Bengals are 2-1 on the season and this team is looking to take control of their conference. They can't squander a chance to beat an easy team like the Browns. Cincy showed they have the offence to compete with teams like the Packers, the Browns simply wont be able to keep up.

Indianapolis Colts -9 (-110)
The Colts suggest that they are a force in the AFC with their new balanced offence. And I believe em. Trent not only gives the Colts a big strong option out of the backfield, but is also a great blocker. It's simple, if Luck can get time to sit back in the pocket, he will pick you apart. Sorry Jags.

Arizona Cardinals +3 (-125)
The Bucs are a team on a downward spiral. I never liked Schiano and I don't blame Freeman for their 0-3 start. He's a control freak type of coach yet he's using Freeman as his excuse. I don't even like Freeman, but that's how much I despise Schiano. I think Tampa is a good team on paper but he has stirred up so much tension with his style of coaching that it has translated into poor play. Now they're turning to a rookie qb to try and steer the ship... Abandon ship and take the Cards.

Saturday, 28 September 2013

NCAA Week 5

Boston College +24 (-115)
I know BC is going up against #8 Florida St. but their ranking can be misleading. They played Pittsburgh, Nevada and Bethune-Cook. Not exactly top 25 teams. BC is only giving up an average of 19 points a game and they're going to put up a fight at home.

Iowa -2 (-115)
I love this line. A big 10 matchup, and I believe Iowa is a strong team in that conference. Minnesota is 4-0 but this is their first Big 10 game of the season and it will be interesting to see if this team is for real or not, I think not. Take the Hawkeyes

***** LATE GAMES*****

Oregon/California Over 79 (-115)

Florida -11.5 (-110)

Sunday, 22 September 2013

Week 3

Last week was a tough week for us in the NFL. But, if there's a silver lining it is that our NCAA picks are keeping us +units. If we can get our NFL plays going, we'l be in a great position. Lets turn it around today!

NY Giants -2 (-115)
The Giants are 0-2 but I think they're better than what their records portrays. The Giants are 1st in the NFL with an average passing yards of 390 per game. The Panthers are 22nd in the NFL in pass defence. With a spread of just -2, your alarm bells should be going off. Look for Coughlin to put the ball in Eli's hands today as they go for their first win.

Houston Texans -3 (+110)
If you're a fan of stats then you'll love this matchup. The 2-0 Texans head to Baltimore to face the 0-2 Ravens. The Texans are 9th in average passing yards, the Ravens are 14th. The Texans are 3rd in average rushing yards, the Ravens are 23rd. The Texans are 3rd in opposition passing yards, the Ravens are 25th. Get the picture? The game isn't played on paper but mine says, take the Texans.

Chicago Bears -3 (+105)
Talk about polar opposites. The Bears are confident, 2-0 and buying into Mark Trestman's new mantra. The Steelers... they don't have an identity. They have trouble protecting their qb on the pass rush which has led to an average of 198 passing yards per game (27th in the NFL). Not to mention their dismal rushing game. Be consistent and do your job. That's what Trestman has been preaching and the Bears have been listening. If they can play consistent and strong on defence, the Steelers offence will continue to sputter. Take DA Bears.

NCAA Week 4

Huge week coming up, after a mediocre 3-2 week last week (despite netting positive units). Week 4 will be an exciting one with a couple big match-ups so let's get right to it.

LSU -17 (+100)
Auburn may have come away with late game heroics against Miss st. last week but that was then and this is now. They face an aggressive offense that has been netting roughly 500+ yards a game so far this season. This LSU offense is great on both sides of the ball despite some defensive hiccups at time, but look for them to have a solid game against Auburn. In terms of their offense, whether its running or passing the ball, the Tigers can light up that scoreboard and I see them doing so early and often against this Auburn team. Oh, and did I forget to mention that LSU is at home.... and it's a night game? This LSU crowd will be BUZZING to say the least. Look for an explosive performance from the tigers.

LSU/Auburn Under 55 (-114) 1u
So we talked about LSU coming out strong against Auburn in terms of their offense, who is tremendous at passing, but an important stat has been left out. LSU has held Auburn to 10 points in 3 of their last 4 meetings. Last year, a 12-10 win for LSU is all that it took. I expect another great defensive battle, but with LSU coming out on top by 3-4 touchdowns. Playing both the over and the large spread may be somewhat of a risk, but we'll take that chance, seeing as the total has gone under in all 3 of Auburn's games so far this season. Also, LSU may be more focused on Georgia in week 5 and may let up after jumping out to a big lead early. Time will tell.

North Texas +32 (-108) 1u
Not much to say about this one except for this. Georgia has faced two tough opponents and are now faced with a, for lack of a better word, "weaker" opponent. They are also off a bye week BUT NT has some respectable players on their roster and can get some points on the board. Georgia faces LSU next week and despite not being a firm believer in teams looking ahead and whatnot, I see them rotating some depth players into the game at some point and perhaps simply running the clock after they establish a lead. Might seem like a shot in the dark, but I'll the take 32 points and say NT covers.


Marshall +10 (-110) 1u
Third straight spread offense playing against an injury plagued Virginia tech team. I like the Thundering herd in this scenario because out of the 3 last teams, V Tech will have faced, Marshall is without a doubt the best at running that spread offense and the double digit spread simply could not be ignored. VT's defense have been keeping them afloat but their offense has been struggling to mix up passing and running and I believe that week 4 will be their downfall. The ML also seems tempting, more of a lean than anything else though.


Best of Luck this week everyone!

NFL Week 2

Lions -2 (-110)
The Lions could very well be this year's "sleeper team" in the NFL. With Ansah to compliment Suh, their pass rush is mean and talented. Up front, Reggie Bush has already shown his ability to catch the ball, as well as be an affective option in the backfield. They're coming off a confident week 1 and look for them to take that momentum into Arizona.

Saints -3.5 (-105)
Many people are confused by this line and I don't blame them. Not only is the spread strangely low, but the Bucs are even the favs at -115. The Saints proved last week that they are the same ol' Saints behind coach Payton. They beat the highly skilled, arguably the best team in the NFC, Atlanta Falcons last week in Atlanta! We'l see if Vegas really does pull the strings but this looks like a no brainer.

Colts -3 (-110)
The Dolphins are a stronger team this year, but the Colts realized their potential last year and the sky's the limit. Behind a home crowd in the house that Chuck built, look for the Colts to feed off that energy early. Luck has a year under his belt with pretty much the same receiving core, while Tannehill has yet to get on the same page with Wallace. I like the spread, the home field advantage, and the quarterback matchup. Done.  

NCAA Week 3

So we're 7-2 in NCAA play heading into week three. A couple more plays than last week so the write-ups wont be as lengthy. We were 1-1 last week which is fine considering our first week, but it's time to get back on the +units side. Here we go:

Iowa -1.5 (-110)
The Hawkeyes are kind of like the dark horse in the Big Ten. I believe they're a solid team and an improving program that doesn't get enough credit. I know they lost to Northern Illinois in week one, what happened there.., but they bounced back and improved to 1-1 in week two. They have a balanced attack and Iowa St. is not as complete of a team.

Maryland -7 (-110)
Maryland are 2-0 on the year and both wins were convincing landslides, outscoring their opponents 90-20. UConn is not a strong team and even though they're home, I expect Maryland to have a strong game.

South Carolina -14 (-110)
If there was a week where a team wouldn't want to play the Gamecocks, it would be this one. Reeling from a tough lose to Georgia, SC can't wait to get back onto the field. Add that to the fact that it is an SEC game and the Gamecocks are home, expect they to come out hungry in front of a big crowd.

Rice -7 (-110)
Was it just me, or was Rice kind of impressive against A&M last week? Yes they lost it in the second half when Johnny took over, but they held their own. They put up 31 points and ran all over the Aggies defence. This week it is their home opener versus a mediocre, at best, team. It will be interesting to see how they come out against Kansas but this is a line that caught my attention right away.  

THE GAME - TIDE V. AGGIES

Alabama -9 (+105)
First off, be careful with this game. If you don't want to pick a team, then pick the over/under, and if you don't like that, than look into the props. Main point: with a game this huge, have some fun with it and get in on the action.
Now, everyone knows Alabama is the best program in the nation. Best facilities, best recruits, and best coaching staff. But, they've made it to the top the right way. They take pride in their program and the tradition of excellence they've built. As fans it's different, but I assure you the people who are gifted enough to wear that "A" on their jerseys are honoured to represent such a school. It is for this reason that I am taking Bama -9 today.
Last year they got beat by a hot-shot quarterback who they didn't know much about. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice....you don't fool Alabama twice. A hot dog quarterback who rubs pretend money together when he scores a touchdown is not something to aspire to. Alabama is too proud to lose to a school who has a "role-model" like that. While Manziel hung out with Lebron James during the offseason, the Tide were preparing and waiting for this game.
I'll be shocked if Bama isn't ready to go. Hopefully good trumps evil today. Watch for the Tide to Roll.

NFL Week 1

Well! The NFL season hasn't even started and we're already over 4 units in profit with a 6-1 record. Great start but this is a marathon, not a sprint. We'll take our strong start but it's not the time to get soft or play gutsy. We take the same preparation into each week, let's hope this good fortune continues.

LATE PLAY ADDITION:

Giants +3 (+110) 1u
The Giants are 4-0 in their last 4 trips to Dallas, confident that streak continues. Look to Eli to pick apart the Cowboys secondary

NFL WEEK 1
The regular season kicks off tomorrow... yes you heard me. NFL football has arrived!
No official play for the Thursday nighter, but we're leaning Broncs -7.5. The choice is yours.

**This post will be updated throughout the rest of the week with our plays and write-ups so stay tuned! At latest, the plays will be up Sunday morning**

Seahawks -3.5 (-110) *2 Units*
From the moment the Falcons hit that game-winning field goal in the NFC divisional round last year to send the Hawks packing, coach Carroll had his mind set on this Sunday. The Hawks were defined by their smash-mouth secondary last year. Richard Sherman and Earl Thomas led that defence, but they struggled with the pass rush. So what did Carroll and GM Schneider do? They went out and got Cliff Avril from the Lions. Cam Newton may think of himself as Superman, but the Hawks defence is as villainous as Lex Luther. Hawks have a big year and a deep run, take the -3.5.

Redskins -3.5 (-110)
There is no way Shanahan lets RG3 step on the field if he's not 100%. They came horribly close to losing their franchise star in last year's playoffs (and I mean, career changing-won't be the same), but they've learnt their lesson. RG3 is back for an encore, Morris is a beast, and the home crowd will be juiced. Eagles are going through a major overhaul with Chip Kelly. They will improve, but it will also take time.

Bengals +3  (-110)
I know what you're thinking. The Bengals? In Chicago? On opening day? Everyone has this image of the Bengals as a mediocre franchise that no one really cares about. Trust me, up until midway through last season, I still pictured them that way. But, in my opinion, the Bengals have the second best defence in league. Dalton is good and getting better, and their wideouts are strong and skilled. This isn't so much a pick but a statement: the Bengals are a dominant team in the NFL.

Giants +3 (+110) 1u
The Giants are 4-0 in their last 4 trips to Dallas, confident that streak continues. Look to Eli to pick apart the Cowboys secondary

NCAA Week 2

This week we're going to focus more on the NFL. Some weeks we'll have more NCAA plays and deeper write-ups, other weeks we'll concentrate more on NFL plays. It all depends on the lines and the spreads. But let's face it, it's kickoff weekend in the NFL and everyone is looking forward to Sunday.

Ohio -4 (-110)
I like the Bobcats, I consider them my cinderella team. They aren't going to win a National Championship any time soon, but they've got fight. A little school that plays every down whistle to whistle. They got demolished by Louisville last week so look for them to come out hard in their home opener vs. North Texas.

Florida -3 (-110)
Now this is a game with a little more national coverage. If the Gators want to consider themselves a top-10 team and be one of the best teams in the country, then they have to at least be the best team in their state. Sitting at #12, I feel the Gators have more to prove this game. No doubt that the Hurricanes will come out swinging in front of their home crowd, but there will be just as many Gators fans showing off their chomp.

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, 30 August 2013

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!
