JD,

I appreciate the hard work you do and I tail you quite frequently. One day maybe I will learn how to actually cap a game, but in the interim I will follow.

Because I do not have the skill to cap I rarely give advice or comment much, but the one subject I know well is TN, as that is my Alma Mater.

I notice you are leaning towards TN, but unless Driskel gives TN a short field, I do not know how TN will be able to muster any points against UF Defense. The offensive line at TN is one of the best in the country, but a couple of average running backs, a below average QB, and a stable of talented but very inexperienced receivers will make it difficult for TN to score. (TN lost their top 3 WRs and TE from last year) Combine that with FL recent loss to Miami which I believe will motivate them and a week off to think about that loss. A game UF dominated but made mistakes that cost them the game.

On the other side of the ball TN returns 8 starters, but that was from the worst defense in TN history, but I will put a lot of that blame on the departed Sunseri though. But even still this TN team does not put any pressure on opposing QBs and combine that with a weak secondary and you have open WRs running wild. Although Oregon normally has open WRs against most teams, there were a lot of missed assignments in that game.

I am excited about TN's future, but right now I would tread lightly before betting on them.  I was hoping for 14 and I was going to jump on UF...I guess I was too optimistic to think I would get that low a line. 17.5 is a little to steep for me to bet on UF, but I could see them winning this game 20-0.

Good luck, which ever direction you go, and again much thanks for sharing your time and knowledge with the rest of us!

JD - Seems when we are on the same plays goes pretty well

Clemson -13.5 & ^66.5

Ark St -4

Syracuse -14.5 ( Just cause they are going to score a lot of points this game, I do admit in not taking Tulane last week and undervaluing them)

Ball St -10

UL -7

TT -26.5 ( The defense played well last week, and if they score points watch out! Looks like the OK game without all the points in the 4th Q)

Ut St +7.5 ( USC did look like it got better vs a weak BC team, Utah St might be on the giving up end , now that they loss and USC is coming off a win, in the right direction)

Tenn +17.5 ( FL does not have oregons O... ill take the points)

Wazzo under 63

N.iLLi -9.5

Houston ^62 (Houston D doesn't look good)

AF over 63.5

Penn St -20 ( Kent plays close and then PSU pulls away mid 3rd, I think Kent will be downby 10 at half... PSU score 7 mid 3rd and scores 10 in the 4th, giving up a FG to kent)

Maryland -5 ( Team is looking good going into the big 10, this week has a lot of meaning for them, WV also has been a let down on the booking side.)

Minn-5 (San Jose did not look like the same team last year, for an Army team that got blown out by ball and then SJ got ran over by Stanford )

Cinci -22 ( Rebound week for Cinci at home vs MAC weak team 49-20 )
