College football starts tonight and rolls through the weekend. Get a good butt groove going on the couch and get watchin'. Here's the games that I'm tracking:
--THURSDAY--
Jacksonville State @ Georgia Tech
JState is the new home of QB Ryan Perriloux, whose exemplary behavior got him booted from LSU. My prediction isn't on the game, it's on Perriloux: he won't see a second year, may not even finish this one.
Vanderbilt @ Miami Ohio -3
Vandy will be dandy.
NC State @ South Carolina Gamecocks -12
Lay the points, take the 'Cocks
Oregon State Beavers -3 @ Stanford
Coach Jim Harbaugh's Cardinal will cover..
--SATURDAY--
Syracuse @ Northwestern -12
The 'Cats are going to score, but can they play "D"? 'Cats will win... by 6.
Utah @ Michigan -4
The Wolverines are supposed to have a down year, but they'll win the home opener and cover.
Akron Zips @ Wisconsin -27
Here's the numerical challenge of the day: lay the points, the Zips aren't in this class..
Northern Illinois @ Minnesota -8.5
This spread has been steadily shrinking. NIU thinking says they can win straight up. I say MN.
Illinois @ Missouri -8.5
MO covers, sorry Illini.
USC -20 @ Virginia
Another big number, a little more than the Trojans can cover.
