Louisville at Kentucky

Louis returns 6 on O and 5 on D..Kent returns 7 on O and 6 on D..Louis Finished 2004 at 11-1..Only Loss was to Miami..41-38 at Home in a Game Louis Lead 24-7 at Half but a Late TD with 49 Secs by Miami Beat them...Not Only was Louis 10-1 in Reg Season SU But 10-1 ATS..Pretty GOOD...They Covered Spreads 21 or Higher in 7 of 7 Games..Once Again..They Covered All Games 21 Plus Points..7 for 7..Kent Finished the Year 2-9...They were 1-7 in Conf Play with Only W vs Vandy (Which Vandy Played just Bad)..Trends Kent is 0-7 SU and 2-5 ATS vs Teams that Shut them Out the Year before..28-0 Score Last Year..Louis is 5-1 SU and ATS Last 6 Games vs Kent..Even with Loss of Starters for Louis They are Still Loaded Again..Brohm (67 % Comp in 2004) will Replace LaFors at QB and Bush (5.6 Yards/Carry Ave) will Replace Shelton at RB..Kent will have a New QB and RB also than Last Year But Not that Quality that Louis has..Kent had an O that only Ave 15.7 Pts/game in 2004 while D gave Up 31 Points/Game..Kent will have another Tough Year in the SEC while Louis will Win (Should) Title the 1st Year in Big East and have a Really Good Shot at Going Undefeated..Both Conf and Season..Louis has Shown that they can Put Points up and Cover High Spreads (7-0 with Spreads 21 Plus in 2004) and this Rival Game will be All Louis I see...So..

West Virginia at Syracuse

WV returns Only 3 on O and 5 on D..Syr returns 6 on O and 9 on D..WV was 8-4 Overall..4-2 Conf while Syr was 6-6 Overall ..4-2 Conf..Trends WV is 3-1 SU and 4-0 ATS Last 4 Years vs Syr..Favorite is 13-3-1 ATS in this Series..Syr is 3-1 SU and 4-0 ATS in Dome in 2004 (Last Team to Win and Cover in Dome was WV in 2003)..WV Must replace Marshall at QB with Both White and Bednarik Playing on Sunday..WV is Just Loaded at RB with Colson returning (5.0 ave in 2004)..Williams (4.8 ave 2004) and True Freshman Jason Gwaltney (1 of Top RBs out of High School) has alot to Offer and will Play..WV Will/Must Run the Ball to do well in 2005..Syr will Return Both QB (Patterson..168/289..1851 Yards after taking Over in Week 4) and RB Rhodes 153/961..10 TDs..5.7 ave/carry..He Really Loves Running in the Dome..Syr has More Experience at the Skilled Positions and are Tough to Play at the Dome (Only Loss in 2004 was to Florida St..17-13)...Now I'm WV Through and Through and My Heart says WV But Since this is the 1st Game of Year and in the Dome with More Experience on Syr Side..Have to say the Breakdown says the Play is Syr (But Heart Hopes WVU)..So..

Sorry..I Forgot to Add:..I Don't Play Totals Much..But the WV/Syr Game Should go Over 44 1/2 to 45 Pts Today..With the Poor WV D (Rebuilding Early with New Players)..vs the Way Syr can Put Points on Board at Home..WV will Score atleast 3 TDs...So I Think ya see a 28-21 (Or Higher) Style of Game.....Just My Thoughts on the Game...:cool: ...BOL to All..!!

UNLV at New Mexico

MT West Conf Early Game..UNLV Returns 6 on O and 3 on D after 2-9 Year..1-6 Conf Play..New M Returns 8 on 0 and 5 on D after 7-5 Year..5-2 Conf Play..New M D Played well in 2004 Only allowing 18.7 Pts/Game Reg Season and Lead the Conf with Low of 125 Points Scored Against..18pts/g...Trends..UNLV is 1-9 SU and 2-8 ATS Last 10 Road Openers..New M is 21-9 ATS Last 30 as Home Fav and 4-2 SU and 5-1 ATS vs UNLV Last 6 Games..UNLV must Replace their Main Man..RB Dorsey..1330 Yards..5.6 Ave from Last Year..QB Steichen will return but Jackson could get the Nod..New M..One Name..Don Trell Moore...Top Returning RB in Conf Play..ave 100 Yds/g..He was Banged up Some Last Year and Missed 2nd Half of New Mex St Game and all of the Utah Game..A Healthy Moore is Scarey for Other Teams..Like a Poor D Team like UNLV..They gave Up 284 Yards Rushing in Last Years Game..With UNLV under 1st Year Coach Stanford and Rebuilding Team will have Problems in New M House..Have Nightmares of #22 (Moore) Running Up and Down the Field All Game Leading New M to the Big W..So...

Pic: New Mexico -14



Mississippi at Memphis

Miss Returns 6 on O and 7 on D..Memp Returns 3 on O and 7 on D..Trends: Visitor is 3-6 ATS Last 9 in Series..Miss is 15-5 SU and 6-13 ATS vs Non Conf Teams..Memp is 10-42-2 SU All Time vs Miss But 2-0 SU and ATS Last 2 Games (Played as Dog)..Miss brings Back All 3 at QB that Played Last Year..Leading Rusher..RB Pearson will Not Play..Academics..So Abrams and Pittman will have to Pick up the Load..Memp Must rebuild their O but will Build it Around RB DeAngelo Williams (What a Good Player to Build Around)..1948 Net yards Ave of 6.2 yds/Carry with 22 TDs..Running and Scoring Machine..Both Teams look Close But I'm going with the Team that 1) Stable Coaching Staff..Miss 1st Year Coach Ed Orgeron (From USC) vs Memp 5th Year Man Coach Tommy West..2) Better RB..Williams..3) Team on Rise vs Team on Decline..Memp 8 Ws Last 2 Years while Miss had 4 Ws (Post Manning)..Also Memp has Played in 2 Straight Bowl Games after 30 plus year of not being there..4) Home Team..So I See Williams having a HUGE Game Leading Memp to the W..So..

Pic: Memphis -2 1/2


Miami at Florida St

Miam Returns 4 on O and 10 on D while Flor St Returns 4 on O and 6 on D..Miam was 9-3 Overall ..5-3 Conf..1st Year in the ACC while Flor St was 9-3 but 6-2 in Conf..Head to Head Miam Won at Home Last Year 16-10 in OT (Had to Block FG by Flor St with under 4 Mins Left and Score TD at End of Game to Force OT)..Both Teams will Break in New Starting QB on Monday..Miam Wright has Little Experience and Flor St Sexton is Not Playing with Problems..So Drew Weatherford will Play (Lee will if any Problems Happen)..Both Redshirt Freshman..Miam Lost Gore at RB But Moss Returns Ave 4.4 Yds/Carry from Last Year..while Flor St does Retun their Top RB Leon Washington who ave 6.9 Yards/carry..(Top Returning RB in ACC)..Trends: Visitor is 5-2 ATS Last 7 in Series..Flor St is 0-6 SU and 1-5 ATS Last 6 Games vs Miam..Including a Bowl Game..Just see Miam has Flor St Number Last few Years..Flor St will be Without their Top CB Cromartie (Knee Injury) and DT Dickson which is Ineligible by Grades..Beside Losing QB Sexton..Loss of Cromartie will Hurt Flor St because they will Start 2 New CBs on D and Lose their Best Ruturn Man on Punts..Miam has the Advantage in Special Teams with Hester Retuning Punts and Kicks and He can Change a Game (Hester Blocked the FG in Last year Game vs Flor St)..See a Close Good Game But Home Field Advantage will Not be Enough Once Again as Miam has Flor St Number..So..

Thor, I am with ya on Louie, Cuse , and NM. I do not know how the effects of Katrina will hold down Ole Miss vs Memphis but am leaning Memphis.
I love to see you on my Canes. Should be a togh defensive game with erratic freshman QB's. Special teams will be a key here and Hester is one of the best.

GO CANES
and GL Thor

Hey don't be too discouraged....trust me, I lost plenty on Saturday, but we can't just pack it in and let the man win.....Just need a good week next week and in the NFL to get back on track.....if you don't have the time to cap, then so be it, but any info. you can provide can be helpful to the capping community......your info. is correct, just a tough week......Hammer 'em next week...interested in what you think about ND/Mich. and Ohio St./Texas next week, as well as your NFL picks.....also, I think Monday will be a good day....I like Miami (and the under) and NM and the over...........BOL!!
