I am adding two games for tomorrow:
5* Wisconsin -3
After studying this game, I like Wisconsin in this spot a lot. I am looking forward to see QB Jim Sorgi in action, who has a much stronger arm than Brooks Bollinger. He also has last year's starting WRs, plus the return of Lee Evans, who is something special. RB Anthony Davis ran for 1,555 yards last season, and is considered the fastest RB in the Big 10. The Badgers' weak link might be the secondary, but West Virginia doesn't have the passing game to exploit it. The Mountaineers return QB Rasheed Marshall, but he is a better runner than passer. Star RB Avon Coburne has departed, along with most of both lines. All in all the Badgers look a lot stronger right now, and I feel they can win this game by considerably more than a field goal.
5* Southern Miss +4
My only hesitation on this game is that California has a game under its belt, and that helps them a lot. Still, Southern Miss has a better defense than most of the teams in the Pac-10, and probably better than the Kansas St defense the Bears faced last week. The linebackers, including Rod Davis and Michael Boley, are among the premier groups in the nation. The Golden Eagles have to rebuild their offense, but QB Mickey D'Angelo returns, and he is very steady. This will be a close and possibly low-scoring game that I believe USM will win outright. If they lose by more than a field goal, I will be very surprised.
I can add more games until right before they start, although I won't be adding anything unless I become aware of something really special. Also, I sometimes post second half plays, which I seem to have a knack for, as I hit over 70% of them last season. Check back if interested.
Good luck to all, as always.

Thanks so much, guys. I hope that each of you have a fabulous weekend!
One thing I'm really pleased with, here on Saturday right before the games start, is that every line I picked in all my games is either the same as it was or, in most cases, has moved in my favor. I usually have a knack of knowing which way the line will move, and generally pick up some real bargains. Compare the lines as I posted them and the lines as they are today, and you'll see what I mean. Anyway, here's hoping everyone has a fabulous day!
