HEADING INTO WEEK 1 OF THE ONLINE NFL BETTING SEASON!!!!
USC---
This team has been so dominant that they deserve this
top spot. Leinhart is back again, as is Reggie Bush
on offense. One problem could be the OL, where they
have had some injuries, but there is so much talent
here, they will still win the PAC-10. Another question
mark here is the loss of four assistant coaches, most
notably Norm Chow.
LSU---
Speed to burn and depth that would make any college
coach jealous. Les Miles has stepped into quite a
situation in Baton Rouge, but the schedule is brutal.
The only potential weakness on this team is along
the OL and the LBs. Pelini is a great defensive coach,
and will the Tigers flying around the field in his
attack defense. The only other question is whether
or not there is an every down QB on this roster? Jamarcus
Russell has all the tools and he is surrounded by
the top skill talent in the country. Should be another
big year in Bayou Country. Big games against the Vols
and Gators will determine just how far this Tiger
team will charge.
Florida---
Urban Meyer brings his winning attitude to Gainesville,
and it should be a huge help for a Gator team that
was flat out soft under Zook. The talent level remains
sky high at Florida, led by Chris Leak on offense.
Early games against Tennessee and LSU will test them..
Should they get through those games unscathed, Meyer
could have his squad in the Rose Bowl in January.
The only real question about this team is in the secondary
but opposing QBs may not have time to throw the ball
against this front seven.
Ohio State---
No team comes into this season with the type of momentum
that the Buckeyes bring. They beat Michigan in the
last regular season game one year ago, forcing them
to share the Big Ten title, and then trounced Oklahoma
State in their bowl game. Sophomore sensation Ted
Ginn Jr., is one of the most dynamic playmakers in
college football, and we look for him to explode this
season. A strong defense behind A.J. Hawk, returns
mostly in tact, and the OL is a great unit as well.
This Buckeyes team has the horses to contend for all
of the marbles. A big early season test against our
number five team should be a dandy.
Texas---
Mack Brown has proven many things in his tenure at
UT, but he still has not beaten Oklahoma and Stoops.
UT returns loads of talent, especially along the offensive
and defensive lines, but must cope with the loss of
its soul in Cedric Benson and Derrick Johnson. Those
two players were among the best ever at UT and lead
us to believe that while there will be another strong
season in Austin, it may not go as well as is being
planned right now. Colorado comes calling to Austin
following the Red River shootout, which is dangerous
timing for Texas. UT must also travel to the Horseshoe
to face the Buckeyes. Those three games will go a
long long way in determining how the Longhorns fare
this season.
Three Teams That Could Surprise
Purdue---
Much ballyhooed QB, Brandon Kirsch, finally gets his
chance to start this season for the Boilermakers.
Sure, Purdue lost Stubblefield, and Orton, but they
return just about the rest of the team. The defense,
in particular has the chance to be specia, as does
a stellar, experienced offensive line. They do not
line up against Michigan or Ohio State in the regular
season. Purdue could very well win the Big Ten this
season.
Texas A&M---
Franchione has brought some talent back to Aggie land,
and this team will be ready to pounce should UT or
OU slip up. Reggie McNeal is a big time playmaker
at Quarteback and Courtney Lewis is a very good back.
The OL should be better again this year, as should
the defense. They still will not resemble the Wrecking
Crews of years past but they will be formidable.
Oregon State---
This team has tremendous linebackers and a ton of
playmakers in the secondary as well, thanks to the
Red River transfers from McCullough and Miller. Star
Wideout Mike Hass is back, but the Beavers need to
find a QB. They have the horses at the QB position
to get it done. Early games against Boise State and
Louisville will be very interesting. If they can get
to the Pac-10 with a 3-0 record, the sky could be
the limit here.
Other Teams to Watch: Texas
Tech, Boston College, Colorado, Colorado State, Iowa,
Minnesota, Alabama,Kansas, Virginia
Three Teams That Will Disappoint
Iowa State---
Big things are being predicted in Ames, Iowa this
year, and while they have a nice squad, they will
not have the convenience of an awful conference this
season. Teams will not be overlooking this Cyclones
team, and without talent, they do not have the talent
to compete week in week out in a Big 12 that is improved
over last season.
Nebraska--- This
team will most likely be worse than the team Bill
Callahan had last fall. He recruited well in the off-season,
but they are overly dependent on young men with little
or no Division I experience. Callahan, has yet to
prove he can coach the college game on the field as
well, and several defensive studs are gone, from a
terrible unit. Keep an eye on the Wake Forest game
early, they may meet a buzz saw in the experienced
Deamon Deacs on their home field. A loss there, and
the season will begin to unravel in earnest.in the
second week of the season. Other tough games include
Pitt, Oklahoma, Texas Tech, Colorado, and Missouri.
Tennessee---
The Vols are getting mad props from many preseason
pubs this season. The defense should be very good,
but there are questions on the offensive side of the
ball. Tennessee will need their offense to avoid turning
it over, which has been easier said than done recently.
UT always has a great defense but they also always
on the field. If this is the case, the schedule is
too tough to overcome that. Trips to LSU and Florida
may be too tough for this bunch. They will be in the
race but well see for how long.
Other
teams to watch: Michigan, UCLA, Arizona State, Virginia
Tech, Virginia, Oklahoma, Utah, Auburn, South Carolina
Reggie
Bush, Matt Leinhart, Adrian Peterson, Vince Young
and our darkhorse.Reggie McNeal will be among the
finalists for the Heisman Trophy this season.
