What's up fellas? Everyone pumped for another year of college football? I know I am. I have a few games I'm likeing so far today.
Utah (+3) @ Michigan (2 Units)
While Michigan's defense should be pretty strong, returning 8 starters from last year's squad, I think their offense will struggle mightily, especially in the early going with a new system. Utah should have a very strong squad, and I've been reading they have the best offensive line in the MWC (for what it's worth). Michigan, on the other hand, has a very weak offensive line with only one returning starter. I think Utah may win this one outright, as they also have a couple of good running backs and a solid QB to play behind that line.
Alabama (+4.5) vs. Clemson (2 units)
I believe Alabama will win this game outright. The simple fact is that while Clemson has so much talent on offense, I believe Alabama's defensive front will manhandle the Tiger's o-line. Alabama, on the other hand, has a nice mix of veteran players and young talent. Look for Alabama to control the game defensively and get enough out of John Parker Wilson and Co. to get the W in The Dome.
East Carolina @ Virginia Tech (Under 45.5) (1 unit)
I believe both defenses will play well in this game and look for both offenses to come out sloppy, much as they did in last year's opener. Look for a low scoring game won by Virginia Tech.
Good luck all and please post any thoughts you may have.
