"I'm having a hard time with this game. I did watch last years game and it was awful, but UK with noodle are Morgan Newton won by 11. Now they have Max Smith who is a HUGE upgrade from Newton and they are running a no huddle, up tempo offense. On the flip side Western was playing its best ball towards the end of the year last year and held Alabama to respectable yardage (while I'm sure Bama pull the reins back). I'm going to this game, unfortunately, so I will pick a side. I'm probably leaning UK right now, just because I don't Western has enough offense to keep up with UK. Plus UK gets their best RB back this weekend"
Took the words right out of my mouth. That game was much more about Morgan Newton looking like the worst QB EVER. Western also had Bobby Rainey who was very solid. I think Kentucky is WAY more apt to score a lot this game. If Kentcuky won by that many last year I can definitely see a 2 TD win this year for sure. Good luck though.

Good stuff, Jim Can't say I disagree with any, though I won't be playing them all.
At one point you got your Buffaloes and Rams mixed up, but we've all been there.
I remember that SJSU/Grambling game. It was on ESPN or ESPN2, and some new, black coach was coaching at SJSU. It was supposed to be the start of a great, new era. It wasn't.

Jimmy I am also on TCU and OSU. I lean WKY after watching them against AL. AL was vanilla and WKY was playing like it was there superbowl, but WKY did do some nice things in that game.
Now onto Auburn and Alabama games this week. It is hard for me to bet either Auburn or Alabama this week. It seems with the results from last week all of the value has been sucked out of these games. If ULM gets hammered against Arkansas, which would of happened if Wilson doesn't go down. The line would be Auburn 24+ and now they want to bite at 16.5. Ugh!!!!!!! Same thing with AL. If Arkansas doesn't shit the bed and Wilson is healthy the line would be no more than 10 points. Hell it was a future bet before the season AL -5.5! Now they want me to bite at -20!!!!! I just don't know if I can pull the trigger on either one of these games. I know AL and Auburn better than any other schools. I am just at a loss this week with all the events from last week!

jimmy - lots of good stuff in this thread. Like the TAMU & TCU picks
I'm torn about AU and Bama both. My gut says to take AU because of the situation. ULM will be on cloud 9 after the big win last week and AU wants to take out their frustration. But my brain knows what it's seen with AU, and it ain't pretty. Kiehl looks like a QB with zero confidence and that defense can't tackle. I'll probably just stay away from this one.
Same with Bama. The gut says take Arky....the line is a little inflated due to the over reaction to the loss last week...BUT my eyes know what they've seen with Bama. They strong. I wouldn't be surprised to see Bama win a 38-10 type of game. Probably sit this one out as well.

Definitely with you on SOME of your picks, especially Bama... I mean what are people NOT seeing here? Arkansas is going up against one of , IF NOT, the BEST DEFENSE, in college football . Not to mention Arkansas has a bang up QB that the D of Bama will demolish, IF he plays, of which is VERY DOUBTFUL! Not to mention ARK has the most lame brained coach in college football, going up against the MIGHTY Nick Saban!!!
Sent you a friend request Jimmy, keep up the good work & thanks for your picks!!!
