Alabama Crimson Tide +7 @ Georgia
Very tough spot for Georgia to be in against a very good team that is looking to make a statement and it wouldn't surprise me in the least if Alabama went into Georgia and won this game outright easily.
Two weeks ago Georgia was at South Carolina and they struggled to beat a bad Gamecocks team on the road. Last week they had to travel to Arizona State and while they looked good in dismissing the Sun Devils, I can't get too excited about that win because it did come against another bad team.
So, after two straight road games in two different time zones, they have to come home and play a team that is probably playing with more confidence then any team in the country.
Last year, a subpar Alabama team took Georgia into Overtime. This year, I feel they will get over the hump in a major way. They have so much balance and they flat out get after it on the defensive side of the football. They bombed what was supposed to be a good Clemson team and they just murdered Arkanasas. OK, the Razorbacks aren't that good but at least 'Bama crushed them which is more then I can say for what Georgia has done the last 2 weeks.
I truly feel Alabama is the better team, Georgia is just the team who gets the hype. I feel 'Bama is faster and better on both sides of the ball plus I love Nick Saban in big games. He will have his team ready to go and well prepared.
Look for 'Bama to win outright but if they don't, they won't lose by more then 3

Bought Trace Adams
Picked up Trace Adams and Drew Gordon (night play) - just doing my part!
2000* - Nebraska, 1000* - Oklahoma State, 500*s - Minnesota, & New Mexico State Talk about a "perfect storm"!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Consider this:
Virginia Tech's offense hasn't topped 24 points in any of their 4 games to date. The Hokies needed a comeback win over a North Carolina team that lost its starting QB, and the Gobblers haven't traveled this far west during the regular season since the 2002 campaign when they played at Texas A&M.
I know the Hokies have solid underdog numbers under Frank Beamer, but this Beamer-coached team is clearly in the rebuilding-mode, and I feel their 3-1 mark is a little fraudulent.
Nebraska may not be as good as the hype that 1st year coach Bo Pelini has generated, but they did have off last week, and this is their 4th straight game at home. They have moved the start from 3pm eastern to 8pm eastern, and that will help the crowd get a little more "into it" under the lights in Lincoln where the 'Huskers sport a 26-3 straight up record at night!
The Cornhuskers have also scored at least 35-points in each of their last 6 games. HUGE "statement game" for the ascending Nebraska program, and they do get senior OL Christiansen back from suspension for this one.
Also consider that Bo Pelini's defense at LSU last season held V-Tech to just 7 points, and 149 total yards. I have a feeling that defensive blueprint will be employed in this one, and the offensively-challenged Hokies will have a hard time finding the endzone once again.
Nebraska makes their "statement" here!
2000♦ - Nebraska Cornhuskers - 8:00 pm
"REVENGE" is the call of the night in Stillwater this Saturday night, as Oklahoma State was humiliated on national TV 41-23 at Troy last season.
Troy's defense played out of their minds last week in their narrow loss at Ohio State, and in the process the Trojans lost their star defender Kenny Mainor. Gonna be hard for the Trojans to get back up for the 2nd week in a row on the road, and then their is the issue that the Cowboys have covered their last 6 as a double-digit chalk.
Okie State was idle last week after a 57-13 romp over Missouri State, and while they do have a conference game on-deck, that game happens to be against a suspect Texas A&M bunch.
3rd game in a row at home for Mike Gundy's bunch, and the 'Pokes are 22-2 straight up their last 24 at Boone Pickens Stadium, 12-6 against the spread as the home chalk.
Lay it, as State gets their revenge in a big way against a beat up Troy squad.
1000♦ - Oklahoma State Cowboys - 7:00 pm
Early action in the Big 10, and I know Ohio State has made their QB switch, inserting the mobile Terrelle Pryor, and the Bucks are expected to have star RB Beanie Wells back in action as well, but this price seems a little steep for a Buckeyes team that has failed all 3 lined games thus far.
Ohio State has a big conference showdown at Wisconsin up next, and with Pryor, and Wells trying to get in rhythm, I think the Golden Gophers can sneak inside the back-door at the horseshoe.
Sure, Minnesota's 4-0 mark is not as impressive as it appears, but 2nd year coach Tim Brewster has this team headed in the right direction. The Buckeyes struggled for a long time last week at home in dispatching a prickly Troy team, I expect the Gophers to hang with the Bucks just enough to stay inside the generous impost.
Dog play on Minny.
500♦ - Minnesota Golden Gophers - 12:00 pm
The Lobos are clearly headed in a downward direction, as Rocky Long's crew is just 1-3 both straight up, and against the spread this year, and last week they lost their starting QB Porterie for the season!
New Mexico State just scored an upset win at UTEP, and Hal Mumme's team is on a 6-3-1 spread run their last 10 at Las Cruces.
QB Chase Holbrook threw for 5 scores in last week's upset, and he will be facing a Lobos' D that has allowed 12 TD passes in their last 3 games.
Look for the Wolves 5 game series winning streak to come to a halt tonight, as the Aggies gain a measure of revenge.

Drew Gordon Night Games
Tonight's Games... 1. 300,000♦ Louisiana State
2. 50,000♦ Alabama
1. Louisiana State- Deja vu all over again, as seemingly every time these two schools meet, the Tigers end up crushing the Bulldogs. It doesn't get much more dominant than LSU's 10-1 run ATS in this series, inlcuding last year's 45-0 rout of Mississippi State on the road. Now at arguablly the toughest place to win in football, Tiger Stadium, look for more of the same tonight under the lights and here's why:
Let's start with the most obvious, the Tigers tremendous edge on offense, led by RB Charles Scott, and quite possibly the surprise QB effort of last week with redshirt frosh QB Jarret Lee leading the Tigers back from 14-3 deficit at Auburn to win 26-21. Needless to say, RB Scott is a beast, and if Lee can build off that effort, people will soon be asking Ryan Perrilloux who? Perfect situation for this Tigers offense to build against a road-weary Bulldgos team primed for a whipping.
Seriously guys, did you see Mississippi State at Georgia Tech last week? Tech murdered them on the ground, ammassing a mind-boggling 438 rushing yards on an even more mind-boggling 8.1 yards per rush! If the Yellow Jackets can do that, imagine what this Tigers o-line and Charles Scott will do tonight at home! A young QBs best friend is a solid run game, and its safe to say the Tigers will run the ball at will in this one.
Finally, as with most football games (college or pro) the game is won in the trenches, and unfortunately for the Bulldogs, they're at a HUGE disadvantage against LSU's powerhouse defensive line. Just ask Auburn how good they are, as the just 70 rushing yards on 1.9 yards per carry. On the season the Tigers are allowing just 55 rushing yards per game on 2 yards per carry! Neither Bulldog QB has been effective this season, and don't look for that to change tonight on the road.
In the end, the Tigers have all the edges necessary to continue to dominate the Bulldogs, the home field, they're markedly better on both sides of the ball, and with a bye on deck, there's no distractions. Tigers maul the Bulldogs Saturday night!
Take Louisiana State BIG over Mississippi State as your top-rated play of the day.
2. Alabama- Tough spot for Georgia, coming back cross country from a nice win over Arizona State, to face one hell of a good Alabama team playing with a lot of confidence right now. Tide crushed Arkansas 49-14 on the road last week, and many are pointing to that win as a springboard for Saban's troops. Needlees to say, I don't see much more than a field goal separating these teams and here's why:
As with most SEC games, the defense is king and that'll be true once again tonight. Both squads boast excellent defenses, allowing barely anything on the ground, but surprsingly the Dogs have been a bit vulnerable thru the air, allowing 229 passing yards a game thus far. This is the first place I see problems for Georgia, as John Parker Wilson may have been quiet last week, but he wasn't really needed with 'Bama rushing for 328 yards on 9.4 yards per carry! On the flip side, Georgia's Moreno is a beast, but he'll face his stiffest test of the season tonight.
Siding with Alabama in this contest comes down to TWO big factors: A. Expect the Tide to be highly motivated after last year's crazy 26-23 OT home loss to Georgia last season. Revenge factor is extremely strong in this one, plain and simple. And B. With a huge game against Tennessee coming up (the same Vols team that beat them 35-14 last season) coupled with going cross-country last week, one has to wonder about the Bulldogs focus here. Not saying they won't win, but Saban will have his boys ready for a battle in this one.
Bottom line, much like last season, a field goal is all that separates this two teams, and therefore the only play here is on the visiting Tide. Love him or hate him, Saban is a damn good coach, who has his team believing and playing like it. In the end, Georgia may pull out the win, but 'Bama grabs the cash!
Take Alabama plus the points over Georgia in this college football match up.
