So far, so good...Scotty the Sleek is playing with the house's money after starting the Colleges at 3-1 versus the spread. This week I add the Pro's.
Note: I plan on having my NFL preview up sometime before the games on Sunday.
Iowa has won their last 6 home openers by average of 38 points. The Cuse head coach is a Please Explain entry waiting to happen, as Greg Robinson has been a failure in every job I can remember him having.
There are 3 teams that I think can win the National Title this year and the Sooners are 1 of them. Miami still has a lot to prove to me.
TCU players dream of going to Texas, but don't get recruited to play at Austin, so this is their dream match-up. Horned Frogs coach Patterson is the most underrated coach in America. They might not win, but their defense will keep the game within a TD.
After last week, it's hard to imagine going with the Irish, but I suspect Weis will out-coach Paterno enough to keep it under the number.
The Buffs squeezed out an OT win last week. Coach Hawkins was the one who built Bise State. I think the Buffs end up the surprise team in the Big 12 in 2007.
Put Vince Young on the Jags and they might be the best team in the NFL. While the Titans have less talent, I will take the team with the superior coaching and signalcalling.
The Vikings are a talented team which if they had a veteran QB like Trent Green...well, I still like them over the Falcons that are playing their first game with a new coach.
How are the Raiders favored over anyone at this point of the year? The Lions are improved. The best bet on this game might just be the under, as the Raiders defense under DC Ryan is really good, while their offense is dismal. Lots of under games in Oakland.
There are 3 great teams in NFL and they are all in the AFC. Bad opening match-up for Rex Grossman, as the Chargers put a lot of pressure on the QB.
If the Redskins can't win this game at home, they have little chance of being competitive under Gibbs this season. Should be low-scoring, with the Skins winning by a least a TD.
