(1-0 Yesterday) 6-3 Overall 67%
Pick #1: Florida Vs Texas A&M (PK)
This is not only the first game of the season for Texas A&M but also the first home game the Aggies will host as a new member of the SEC. The Gators didn’t look very sharp on either side of the ball in last weeks opener against Bowling Green winning 27-14 and I see that to continue today. Turnovers and the new up tempo offense the Aggies run will be a problem for the Gators. Texas A&M will get their first SEC victory in front of their home crowd.
Pick #2 NC State (-3) Vs Connecticut
Going up against a Veteran offensive line injuries on the Huskies Defense will be one of the key factors in todays match up. Wolfpack’s Star QB Mike Glennon had a week 1 game he would like to forget throwing 4 picks and I see him finding his groove again today by establishing the running game early and making better passing decisions down the field. Player to watch: NC State Corner David Amerson – setting an ACC record last year with 13 interceptions Amerson had a very rough start to this years season against the Volunteers. Look for him to bounce back in a major way today against The Huskies.
Pick #3 Purdue (+14) Vs Notre Dame
Take the Boilermakers and the points. The jet lag from the trip to Dublin and the transition from defending the triple option a week ago to a compete offense with a mobile QB will slow the Fighting Irish down enough to keep the Boilermakers in this game. Notre Dame is without a doubt a more compete team on both sides of the ball but Purdue has enough offensive weapons to keep this game close. Look for a score around 28-21
Good Luck!
