Clemson @ Georgia Tech -5.5(-110) 745pm Et
Both teams cruised to victory in their openers but Georgia Tech didn't play anyone worth mentioning. The Yellow Jackets won this contest last year late in the game on a big play. I see it being another close one this year. Clemson should be able to control the line of scrimmage all game with better offensive and defensive lines. The Tech running game is tough to stop but Clemson has play makers in the 2nd and 3rd layers to prevent big plays. Clemson running back CJ Spiller got a little dinged up last week but if he can run effectively in this one the Tigers should be able to pull off the upset. If not, it could come down to the wire as his backups are a little less explosive but regardless I like the Tigers to get the job done and cover. Clemson is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 trips to Georgia Tech so we will go with the underdog in this one.
Pick- Clemson +5.5 (-110) 6* GUARANTEED play

THE GOLD SHEET
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10
*PITTSBURGH 20 - Tennessee 19—Payback game for the Steelers, who
were whupped 31-14 last Dec. 21 in the game that decided the No. 1 seed in the
AFC. In that contest, Tennessee became the only team in the regular season
to gain more than 300 yards against the rugged Pittsburgh defense. Since that
game, the Titans have lost dominating DT Albert Haynesworth to the Redskins.
But Tennessee still has plenty of pass rushers and defensive quickness.
Remember, only eight Super Bowl champs have repeated in 42 years! Note
that 30 of last 43 games at Heinz have gone “over.” TV—NBC

*GEORGIA TECH 24 - Clemson 23—Star Tiger RB Spiller (hamstring) sat
out 2nd half vs. Middle Tennessee after returning opening kickoff for a TD. If
Spiller, who also had 50-yard punt return in last week’s home win, and fellow
speedster sr. WR Ford (43-yard TDC, 61-yard punt return TD vs. Blue Raiders)
both available, Clemson should hit enough “home runs” to counter Tech’s
relentless ground attack. Shrewd Jacket mentor Paul Johnson (44-24 vs.
spread last 68 on board as a HC!) has glut of quality RBs, but Tigers’ speedy “D”
kept Tech triple-option mostly bottled up LY. CABLE TV—ESPN

Randall The Handle
Tennessee +6 +1.02 over PITTSBURGH PINNACLE
The Titans had the NFL’s best record last season and subsequently lost in the playoffs to Baltimore in a very disappointing way. This is pretty much the exact same team with lots of weapons, a great defense, an outstanding coaching staff and a team that very seldom gets spanked. Yes, they lost all-pro defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth and he is one of the best, bar none. However, it seems like that’s what people want to talk about when discussing the Titans but his loss won’t be as devastating as the media would have you believe because the Titans have enough great players on defense to compensate. It would be a different story if he was the defense on a bad team but that’s not the case. Then we have the “stomping of the Terrible Towel” incident last year after the Titans whacked the Steelers 31-14 and many believe that’s an motivational tool for the Steelers. Perhaps so but the Titans are all business and if anyone has extra motivation it’s the Titans, as they’re coming off a hugely dissatisfying playoff loss while the Steelers have nothing to prove. Furthermore, the line itself is a bit of an insult to the Titans and that, too, is very motivating. The Steelers will have trouble moving the ball, as they’re offense isn’t so great and in what should be a low-scoring game (the total is 35), these points are just so sweet. The Titans really never got the respect they deserved all of last year when they just kept covering and winning games. They’re starting out the same way again this season and I’m calling the Titans outright but as mentioned earlier the points are just too juicy to pass up on. Play: Tennessee +6 (Risking 2 units).
