Saturday, August 30,
2008

Bowling
Green-Pittsburgh

For those looking for a moneyline upset, perhaps not here
is not the place to look. The Panthers are 10-1 in season openers the last 11
years and 25-5 the last 30. They are 25-2 to the MAC, but both losses were on
the road.

Utah-Michigan

Don’t let the non-BCS tag fool you, Utah
is tough. Based on “others receiving votes” Utah
is No. 28 in the coaches’ poll and No. 29 in the AP. They do well in
non-conference marquee games winning seven straight bowl games and are 10-1-2 straight up on ABC and 10-4 on
ESPN2.

Utes quarterback Brian Johnson is as healthy as he’s been
since 2005 when he finished No. 4 in the nation in total offense.

Arkansas
State-Texas A&M

Aggies running back Jorvorskie Lane is
questionable because of lingering effects of a neck injury. He rushed for 780
years and 16 touchdowns last year. His backup Nick LaMantia
has a sprained ankle but it probable.

Hawaii-Florida

Florida
returns eight starters on defense, but will likely be without firs-team All-SEC
LB because of an injured foot. Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow
could be without his speedster WR Percy Harvin.

Hawaii lost
star QB Colt Brennan and head coach June Jones.

Alabama-Clemson

Clemson has had to replace 4-of-5 starters on the OL. Stevie Vincent, the founder of forensic sports
handicapping has his first Level 5 play of the NCAA football season and it
goes Saturday. It’s a Blue Ribbon play, which are 77 percent lifetime in
collegiate football. Get Vincent’s Saturday card Click now to

Virginia
Tech-East Carolina

Virginia Tech will almost definitely be without their top
defender Macho Harris. Tech is also rebuilt at WR,
where they have little or no proven talent.

Idaho-Arizona

How bad is Idaho?
Out of 120 FBS teams, they are ranked 119^th
by MRatings.com and 155^th by Sagarin ratings which
includes subdivision teams and ranked below teams like Lehigh and Eastern
Kentucky.

The Vandals have lost 18-of-19 to the Pac-10 by an average
of 42-15. Arizona has an easy
schedule, so no need to overlook Idaho.
Last year their non-conference opener saw them humiliated by LSU, so motivation
should not be an issue reports Brian Gould of ScoresOddsPicks.com  

USC-Virginia

We will keep an eye on the latest weather as rain is
expected. Virginia has just 10
starters back, but no clear choice at quarterback and they lost their best
player, Chris Long, the second pick in the NFL draft.

Washington-Oregon

Washington
will not have the services of starting TE Michael Gottlieb, though starting QB
Jake Locker has overcome a hamstring injury and will be available.

Syracuse-Northwestern

This is one of Northwestern’s better teams, though there
are questions on the offensive line, where they have three new starters. The
good news is they play a Syracuse
team that was last in the country last year in sacks.

Oklahoma State-Washington State

Washington State
is going to a brand new no-huddle offense. Indisputable fact is that GodsTips is
the single greatest football betting service of all-time. They have five
college football sides going today and if they have late steam, those plays are

Memphis-Ole
Miss

The Tigers receivers Duke Calhoun and Carlos Singleton
combined for 113 catches last year and have a huge height advantage over Memphis
smallish secondary. However, new Mississippi
coach Houston Nutt will have all four starters back in the secondary. They
ranked 10^th out of 12 teams in pass defense.
