NCAAF Week Two Picks

Recommended Posts

College Football 2011-2012 Overall 2W-5L-0P -3.50 units (28.57%) Not a very good start to the season. Pretty ******* shitty actually. Started out 0-5 and then closed strong with 2 wins :) Oklahoma St -13.5 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes Both these teams are great offensively but my biggest concern for Arizona is I dont think they are gonna be able to do anything to stop them on the defensive side of the ball. I think youll see Arizona hang with them till about halftime and the game ends up a blowout. Auburn +7 (-125) to win 1 unit @ 5dimes Got the +7 just for the insurance, but I think that Auburn probably wins this game. They struggled against Utah St obviously but Chizik seems to always find a way pull a game out of there ass. Remember Auburn was considered to be lucky to win the first 3-4 games last year. They could have easily lost against Miss St, Clemson and South Carolina. But yet Chizik finds a way to get it done. This will be a close one!

Re: NCAAF Week Two Picks Oklahoma State -13.5 @ 1.93 pinnacle Ok State's offence averaged 44 points per game on 520 total yards per game, with the focus being on the passing game where they threw for 346 yards per game. Not much should change here given that QB Weeden and WR Blackmon are back, and this tandem will light up the scoreboard. Weeden threw for over 400 yards and 34 TDs last season while Blackmon had nearly 1800 yards and 20 TDs. With the OL returning 5 starters, they are well placed to score once again. Like them to dominate the trenches here and allow Weeden to score on a Arizona defence that has just 1 returning starter on a very young and inexperienced DL, 2 LBs and 2 more in the secondary. On defence, Ok State allowed 134 rushing yards per game last year but 276 passing yards per game. They return just one starter on the DL, but get 2 more LBs and 3 more in the secondary, which should help to improve the pass defence. Arizona too like to pass the ball, and they get back their QB Foles, as well as RB Antolin and 3 WRS, the problem is that they have no one returning on the OL, and though Ok State are not that strong either, they do have some experience which will go a long way to containing Foles and his ability to find his receivers. Ok State beat Arizona last year in the Alamo Bowl 36-10 and with a more balanced side on both sides of the ball, hard to see Arizona stopping them, especially with a class player like Blackmon. Record 5-3 (+2.05)
