Congrats Blaze. I saw that they got Georgia Southern....are they still as good as they used to be?
Apparently so.
The thing I hear though is that they're very susceptible to the pass.

I was thinking that this was this weeks games, because I saw the UT-Col game.

Can we have a Ramonce Taylor total yardage VBookie? That would be fun.
USC/UCLA (Current Odds: USC -22.5 to -21) Everything points to USC in this game. They have an explosive offense, while UCLA's defense is pathetic (ranked something like 90th in PPG allowed). On the other side, UCLA's offense is damn good, and USC's is better-than-average. The scary thing about this game is it's a rivalry. We all know how rivalry games go, too. Last year, USC's powerful machine, which consisted of an even better defense, barely got by UCLA. Frankly, I'd stay away from this one. If it's on vBookie, though, I may lay down $500 on UCLA.
WVU/USF (Current Odds: WVU -10 to -9) This was supposed to be the Big East championship, but USF screwed up and got beat at UConn last week, so WVU holds the crown no matter what. The question is will Coach Rodriguez still want to win this game? WVU's offense is killer ever since White has taken over the QB position and Slaton became the starting running back. People talk about the UT's freshman RB sensation Jamaal Charles, but Steve Slaton for WVU has been even more eye-opening. Does WVU have to stay in the top-12 to be BCS bowl eligible??? Lot's of intangibles to accurately draw a conclusion in this match-up. If on vBookie, though, I'd take $500 on WVU - maybe.
Texas/Colorado (Current Odds: Texas -28.5 to -26) Yet another hard game to cap. It's hard to bet against UT with their ATS record, but both their ATS losses were on the road. Granted this would be more of a home game for UT than Colorado, it won't be in Austin. People keep bringing up the CU upset a few years back vs. UT in the Big 12 Championship. That CU team was a uva lot better than this one as is this UT squad compared to that UT squad. I think Vince will have a bone to pick, also, coming off the lackadaisacle performance last week. Chizik will also install some improvements, although, CU isn't known as an option team on offense. CU's offense has sputtered their last few games vs. less perenial teams (ISU and NU). If on vBookie, I'd probably take Texas in this one.
Careful. USF isn't as bad a 6-4 team as people think. They've played 6 road games, and 4 home games thus far. They've won every home game, including a 45-14 trouncing of Louisville. They lost a chance at being the BE championp, but may want redemption by spoiling the Mountaineers hopes of a 1-loss season. Plus, a win will up their chances of going to a better bowl (probably not, but it wouldn't hurt). Another concern I have is how Rodriguez will use his players. In a nuetral site with nothing at stake but another win, I'd take WVU in a heartbeat. I'll still take them in this game, but the taste of a huge win doesn't seem likely to me. Something like 28-17 WVU, perhaps?
