Well, it's finally here...time for the "real" beginning of football season (pre-season NFL doesn't count). Tonight, there are a bevy of games and we have a select few for which to wager on.
Oregon State -3 (**)
Take the Beavers -3 against Stanford this evening. This is just simply a case of one team being MUCH better than the other team. Oregon State has beaten Stanford 6 of the past 7 meetings, including many a**-kickings. Stanford got lots of pub for beating USC and Cal, but they also lost to Notre Dame, Washington State, and Washington among others (including a 23-6 drubbing by Oregon State). Not much has changed. Stanford has no offense and will struggle to get more than 13 points as Oregon state wins by double digits.
Miami (OH) -3 (**)
I also like the RedHawks -3 at home against Vandy. Vandy is the bottom dweller of the SEC, while Miami is probably the best team in the MAC this season. The home crowd will be juiced and ready to beat a team from the mighty SEC. Miami's defense will keep the sketchy Vandy offense in check, while scoring just enough to win and cover this spread. There is a reason that a MAC team is favored by 3 over a SEC team in week one...that reason is that they are the better team.
Check back tomorrow as we might have some picks up for Friday's games, and will release our slate of Saturday games tomorrow as well. Good Luck!
