Akron – (19) Penn State (-16.5)
Penn State 24 – Akron 0

In what may be a torrential downpour if Ernesto continues on its current track. I'll be there regardless...

LOL

yeah...

The Penn State defense will be solid, but I wonder if the offense will get clicking immediately...

Rain might make that game much better than it otherwise would be.

I dont know, I expect Akron to give up a better fight against PSU than what you think and Arkansas is supposed to be decent(like they are supposed to be every year), USC may have a tougher time of it then what you are thinking.

We lost a lot on both lines and the secondary. The good news is that we return all the speed on the outside, and a QB who is more technically sound than Robinson. We'll have a good backfield as well, but of course whether or not the line can open holes will be the question.

Unfortunately there isn't a whole lot of time to gain chemistry - we visit #1 & #2 within the first four weeks...

We will see...

I was debating on making the score closer in the USC game, but if USC's defense does anything, I expect USC's offense to not have a hard time scoring.

I hate to say this, but if FSU scores 21, much less 28, the my Canes will lose. We're hurting at receiver, especially with Moore out indefinitely. Our defense isn't as weak as you might think.

My call for this one is 20-7, Miami.

You see I don't see the FSU defense holding Miami under 30....

FSU looks overrated. It will all play out on the field of course, but FSU looks to be in a down mode this year.

You still have the spread covered....

(22) TCU (-7.5) at Baylor

TCU 35 – Baylor 10

I'm no Baylor Bear fan, but you might want to rethink that score. TCU will be proven as over-rated and Baylor may actually be a .500 team this year.

I don't know...

Baylor is going to have to prove me wrong before I pick them.....I've been burned by them in the past.

It's ok, but if the offense can't stay on the field to give them a break from time to time, they will get worn down.

How good is ND this year? Pre season #2? DO they deserve it?

Their offense is one of the best in the nation.

Their defense is a gigantic question mark.

They have plenty of experience returning (8 starters), but I don't know if that is a good thing or not.

I can't imagine them getting through the season without at least 2 losses looking at their schedule.

I hope The Canes offensive line is better than they were last year, but I think they are too young and inexperienced.

They might be...

Unfortunately for Miami, the one part of the FSU defense that has experience is the D-line.
