FIVE TO THE FACE! (College Football Edition – Week 1)

I’ve been away for a few weeks due to some career changes, however it always works out for the best, and there is no way I’d rather come back than to return on the day FOOTBALL returns.

Hide ya Kids, Hide ya Wife, Hell hide everybody because SportsCenter will finally become relevant again

I am going to break down 5 games each week that will slap Vegas in the face. I don’t need to give a full breakdown and statistical analysis of coaches, weather, and whose mascot is the mustiest.

I just keep it simple and straight forward for you.


Similar to how Rick James kept real it on Charlie Murphy:


You gotta love the remix.

Now let’s get on with it:

South Florida at #16 Notre Dame
Line: Notre Dame (-10.5)
I haven’t been a Notre Dame believer for years. Even though this year may be a “special season” for the Fighting Irish, I will need to witness some woodshed beating before I believe they are actually BACK.  They may win, but I do not believe they will cover. Notre Dame 24 – South Florida 21
 
#5 Boise State vs. #19 Georgia
Line: Boise State (-3.5)

People do not seem to understand what all of this “SEC Pride” is all about. It is simple; until a playoff is implemented fans should want their conference to be considered the strongest.

In the BCS, perception is definitely a reality. And when reality sets in at the Georgia Dome Saturday evening, the scoreboard will show “HOME DAWG” landing the upset.  #19 Georgia 24 - #5 Boise State 23

 #4 LSU vs. #3 Oregon 
Line: Oregon (-4)
We saw last year how Oregon’s offense was neutralized by the size and speed of Auburn’s defense That was last year. We also saw how LSU’s defense was suffocating in their final game of the season with SEC newcomer(???) Texas A&M. That was last year.  Oregon has a LOT to prove. LSU has a coach with Ice Water in his veins.

They say Defense carries a championship team. If that is true, LSU shuts down Oregon’s championship hopes in week 1. #4 LSU 21 - #3 Oregon 17

#8 Texas A&M vs. SMU
Line: Texas A&M (15.5)
It’s time for the Aggies to prove they belong in the SEC, and please believe that there are many down south that don’t think so. They need to take EVERYONE behind the woodshed, and blister them up old school style. They start by covering easily. #8 Texas A&M 35 – SMU 10
 
Miami at Maryland
Line: Maryland (-3)
This is just bananas. Half of the Hurricanes starters will have to sit the first game, and Maryland is only favored by 3. When thinking of the U and what the U is about, Kellen Winslow sums it up the best:
After hearing that, I can only say Miami wins straight up on heart and pride alone. Miami 31 – Maryland 17

It's the most, wonderful time, of the year!

I'll check in next week.

- Slim
