why would people fuss you? They're more likely to "Freak Out!" than fuss you.

Not only was Saturday the best day in a long time, Sunday was a great day as well. Went 9-4

I told you I had that feeling on Friday night, it's time to get rolling and stack up now. I have seen everyone play enough times to get a really good feel for them. There's not very many mysteries left for me in the SEC and the ones that are will be found out this weekend.

I think Florida's front 7 will give Tennessee's inexperienced offensive line some trouble. If they can take away Tennessee's running attack, they could make things very difficult for Clausen.

The question when discussing Florida is whether they will field a competent offensive football team in Knoxville this Saturday. There have been some flashes of hope this season, but whether they can put it all together in a hostile SEC venue this week is a huge question mark.

If I were betting this game I would probably side with a confident home team getting 1-point versus a team with a possible lame-duck coach who appears to be on an unpromising trajectory. But then again, this is college football, so who knows???

thanks Jimmy, all good points

now Clausen you say? hope that's not a freudian slip. Worley's certainly better than Rick at least

Hey Jimmy ... Why the love for UAB ?? Wk gets a W at Navy and UAB loses at home getting crushed by FIU ?? I have small trend on UAB 43-30 ATS ... When a team has a -5 Turnover or more margin the week before they cover the next week .. 43-30 ATS ..

Need your thoughts on FIU + 9 1/2 at home vs Fla Atl ... FIU has beaten Fla Atl 3 times in a row and seem to be playing a bit better lately .. Thx !! Good luck !!

I am curious as to why the love affair with UAB also, as I do not see them covering this game at all against Western Kentucky.

SNITCHES end up being bitches, or end up with stitches, and in ditches! #REALITY

Yes, Worley of course.

I thought Worley was a little shaky against Utah State in week 1, but since then he's been looking more and more like a QB that could play on Sunday's. Right now I would give him the conference's "most improved player" award.

I watched pretty much the entire FIU/UAB game. Those who didn't see it may come away with the false impression that FIU is a competent offensive football team. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Their offense, led by QB Alex McGough, is beyond horrid. They never mustered a single scoring drive the entire UAB game.

The story line of this game was that FIU inexplicably won the turnover margin by a staggering count of 6 to 0. FIU scored on 2 pick 6s, 2 long pass plays (both were short passes) that can only fairly be described as busted assignments, and two field goal drives of 6 and -5 yards. If you take away the 75-yard touchdown pass to TE Jonnu Smith and the 85-yard pass play to WR Glenn Coleman, FIU had 137 total yards of offense, and QB Alex McGough was 7 of 22 for 44 yards. FIU had 9 first downs for the entire game, and 3 of those were by way of penalty.

Although FIU's offense was unbelievable incompetent, I was fairly impressed with their defense. Ron Turner's group has to be given some credit for forcing 6 turnovers even though a couple of them weren't really "forced." Nevertheless, they frustrated an offense that heretofore had been averaging 43 points per game and held them to a very pedestrian 20 points.

That provides a good segue to my insight into the two games you inquire about. I view the FAU @ FIU game similarly to the FIU @ UAB game in that it is a high powered offense versus a stingy defense type of match-up. I'm a little incredulous that FIU can pull off another UAB-type performance within 5 days of each other, but I'd also hate to be holding a ticket that lays almost 10 points of road chalk in a rivalry game on a Thursday night. On the other hand, I can't back QB Alex McGough and that putrid FIU offense either.

My advice would be to stay away from the side of this game, and join me in betting the 1st half UNDER assuming the number is at least 24 or better - and it should be at least that.

With respect to the UAB/WKU game, I grade these teams as being pretty even. I think the line is a bit of an overreaction to last week's results. I would line this game more like WKU @ -6.5. UAB's Bill Clark is an outstanding football coach, and I expect he'll get some things fixed in practice this week and expect a very strong bounce-back against WKU on Saturday. I would not be at all shock to see UAB win this game outright. I will jump on the UAB ML when it's released as well.

Best of luck with your wagering endeavors this week!!!
