Tough night on Thurs, so I took a rest today. I was really surprised to see Gallardo go in the tank like he did for mil the other night. Oh well. Those loses dropped me below my 15 unit goal for the season so I have some work to do in the playoffs. Not sure how I am going to attack the playoffs just yet, but most likely, my plays will be few. I might be satisfied to just get back to even for my record on this blog and then just pretend like '07 baseball never happened here. There will be better opportunites elsewhere. I will probably have some series plays and futuresthough. On to my first football post.

CMU -3, Louisville -8, Nevada -3.5

Emotion means a lot in college sports so I look for teams who really need to prove something and all three of these teams are in that position on Saturday. Much more was expected from CMU and Louisville, and both come off embarasing performances last week. However, they are way more talented than their respective oponents this week and will be motivated to play at a high level. As for Nevada, they are also in desperate need of a win and had a week off to prepare. Meanwhile, UNLV spent the week hearing about how great they are after beating up on Utah in a let down game coming off a big win over UCLA. The Rebs have only left home once and it was a struggle for them to put away Utah St. - one of the worst teams in the nation. I might be back with more tommorrow and I might play Philly in MLB as well. Having Eaton on the mound should bring the line down a little.  

Va Tech -18.5 I just think they are ready for a break out game where everything goes right and UNC has the type of offense that will make mistakes that result in points.

A&M -16.5 The fact that Baylor is actually on a winning streak gives great value to this line. Baylor is one dimensional and since they can't run the ball, they'll have to throw and that will make for some turnovers and some 3 and outs. A&M has yet to put it all together, but this looks like a good opportunity to gain some momentum for the rest of the season.
