@Auburn
- Lost - The Tigers are loaded this year. They return 16
starters from a team that could have beat USC on the road last
year. Cadillac Williams was able to move the ball on the ground
last time they met - and we think he'll be able to this time.
Tigers are healthy and have been looking forward to this
re-match. On
the other hand not only is USC QB Carson Palmer out of the picture -
the Trojans offensive line is banged up (C Norm Katnik & LT Jacob
Rogers). The starting TE & FBs from last years squad are
both out for this road opener - meaning the USC inexperienced starting
QB (Leinert) will be playing behind a young and untested group of
blockers, against a home team hungry for revenge. We don't see
the Trojans having the success they enjoyed last year going over the
top in this spot. Auburn by 10.

Rated Picks:
-
Duke
(+) - Lost -
We
like Virginia as a "play on" team this year, trouble is so does the rest of the
nation - which drives up the cost way past where it should be in this
spot. Duke is a
veteran team that matches up well to the Cavaliers. Pro-style
offense Cav's lost their top receiver to injury for the season in practice this
week, which will hurt their over the top pass attack.
-
Maryland
- Lost
(Thursday the 28th)
The
Terrapins like to run the ball, and so do the Northern Illinois
Huskies. Trouble for the Huskies is the Terrapins are bigger, faster,
and stronger on both sides of the ball in the trenches. The
Terrapins O-line outweighs the opposing line by almost 40 lbs per
man! In addition Maryland operates a 3-4 defensive set which is
specifically designed to stop the run. In recent years we
have liked the Huskies as double digit dogs against the bigger schools
- but not here. Terrapins keep it on the ground and roll
(literally) over the smaller stop unit to a double digit victory.

Rated Picks:
-
@
NY Giants vs St. Louis - Giants have a deep fleet of
receivers that the Rams will have a hard time matching up
against. Pace is holding out, even if he reports before the game
he will not be in sync. And, Strahan always has good games against the
Rams.... With TE Shockey questionable because of a broken rib, we're
getting nice value at less than a FG.
-
New
England (+) vs Buffalo - Kurt's Flip Pick, Belichick
has the Bills (and Bledsoe's) number. Why, we're not sure. But
when Bledsoe plays against his former team it looks like the Pat's
secondary knows what he's going to do before the receivers do. We like
New England on the ML to pull the upset in this spot.
