nostradamus week 1

Florida was ravaged last year. I know you know this Nos, and I am not a Driskel fan by any means, but he can manage the ship well enough. He's limited, but can extend plays and is at his best when UF primarily just churns it on the ground game after game. I think KT is an absolute stud and with Jones back and Brown they should be quite formidable once again on the ground. Muschamp, as much as he’s failed as a HC can really coach the D. I hate the Gators, but I can't dismiss what they did considering all the setbacks and finishing 2nd overall in the SEC with 6 starters coming back on that side.

I think Roper will be good for Driskell and the O as a whole, which will obviously improve from last year to go with a solid D again and ground game. I completely fazed this line because of the initial number, but think you grabbed a real solid play and since it's Idaho, well almost enough said there. I am also on the Bayou Bengals against Wiski and I believe that you are definitely one of the best on here, if not the best..

what's going on fellas

good to see heritage and some others have totals up, BM should be following soon....locked up in a couple more.....

Notre Dame -23

Bowling Green -7 (-115) (0.75)

Ohio-Kent St under 50 (0.75)

Notre Dame 41 Rice 10 - good to see this one drop to 23 on BM....tough to see Owls running game minus Ross doing much here or Jackson being able to get it to decent WRs......ND should get a boost from Golson return and should have balanced attack against defense not that great against better teams....Irish probably call off the horses in the 4th with UM on deck

Bowling Green 37 WKU 23 - both offenses should be pretty good.... give BG solid advantage on defense should be the difference....Johnson and Greene should have little problem putting up numbers against depleted WKU defense

Ohio 23 Kent St 17 - expecting Ohio defense to be much improved this year and KSU back 7 looks pretty good with LBs back and OSU transfer Murray adding to secondary, KSU normally matches up pretty well with Bobcats and doubt QB Vick can do much damage...mostly low scoring series until last year 44-13....will be working in some unofficial Ohio ML feeling they've got a good shot here

should mostly be it other than waiting on possible line movement on one other dog and checking out a couple write in games and team totals later....was actually leaning Boise St although looks like everyone is on Ole Miss...BSU normally likes this type of matchup and D Nkemdiche suspended however BSU defense so tough last year and if not much better could easily give up 40+ to dangerous Ole Miss offense so may have to pass on that one

BSU defense not so tough last year that is....has a good core returning, not sure if that's good or bad though after allowing 30+ in six games last year....after allowing 30 zero times in previous year

Definitely like LSU to cover with ease. Really can't figure out why it is below a td. I see them pulling out the same kind of win they did against Oregon a few years back in the opener. To much speed on both sides of the ball for Wisconsin.

I live in Vegas I gonna take as many high Spreads on a Teaser for 10 Bucks and see what happens

I did it last year with success

Hard to believe football is almost here...

May all your picks be winners Nostra  , or at least 70% of them

all -

tide - can't wait, BOL this season buddy

blowout - agree Vols plenty of questions with QB, OL and defense....should show some improvement 2nd year under Jones .....wouldn't hurt if USU WRs Natson and Butler (DUI, burglary) are suspended with already thin WR corp, GL

checking out some week 2 teams today...only 3 weeks until week 2 openers...looking at a few matchups today....Memphis-UCLA., Pitt-BC.. Kan St-Iowa St, and MD-USF

updated week 1

In fact..... Baylor for 1st half should be very righteous play...

Especially for the first week....   Most big favs get up big by half and then maybe are vulnerable to back door cover.... but a little tease should put some chips on your side of the table.

Good to see your plays NOS....  You're one of the best in here and I love that you post your thinking for your plays.... Have another great year bud.
