Thursday Night
UAB (+3) over Southern Miss. 2 Units. UAB had a close win at Baylor over the weekend while Southern Miss was demolished in California by the surprising Cal Bears. Southern Miss will have a tough time recovering from their cross country demolition on a short week to play on the road again. This is a huge game for the UAB program since they are on national TV for the first time against an opponent they can beat. Southern Miss has two ineffective QB's last season and the situation has not improved. This will be a good night to be a Blazer fan.
Friday Night
Oregon St. (-8.5) over Fresno St. 2 Units. Oregon State comes into this season with high expectations and a familiar face at Head Coach. HC Riley started the Beavers on the path to redemption several years and jumped ship before he was able to enjoy the benefits. Fresno St. is off to a tough start with their starting QB injured and their tough schedule. Fresno State's lack of a running game will hurt them again this week.
Saturday
Syracuse (-2) over North Carolina. 2 Units. Syracuse is coming off their worst season in the Paul Pasqualoni era and look like they should be improved on both sides of the ball this season. UNC looked terrible against a revenge motivated Florida State last week and will be in the second week of a two week home hangover. North Carolina's formerly dominant defense is not dominant and their offense is inconsistent.
Oklahoma (-7.5) over Alabama. 2 Units. Well while this should be a great game, Oklahoma's defense will stem the Crimson Tide. Alabama looked merely mediocre in an opener over South Florida while the Sooners dominated an overmatched North Texas. In the end, the Sooners will dominate again.
