The Debut

This weekends games look to be tough and there  aren't to many slam dunk picks to be made. Of course I'd love to get off to a good start and I think I got some pretty solid picks.

NCAA Picks-

 1. UConn -6.5 over Temple- I'm hoping the UConn Huskies can live up to it's hype and take one here. One touchdown isn't to much to ask for on a mediocre team like Temple.

 Temple  30                                             UConn 16                  L

 2. Alabama -24 over Duke- I know that seems like a crazy amount of points to be giving up but Alabama really is that good. They beat a #18  Penn State team last week by 21 points, I'm almost certain they can put up one more FG on a very poor team like Duke. Roll Tide.

 Alabama 62                                          Duke 13                     W

 NFL Picks-

 1. Vikings   -5.5 over Dolphins- Miami is a well rounded team but they may be a little outmatched in this one. Brett Favre and the Vikings are coming off a loss to the defending Super Bowl Champs New Orleans Saints and are hungry for a win. They can't afford to start off the season 0-2 and have all the reporters around the globe asking the same question '' What's wrong, Brett.'' Vikings at home take this one.

 Dolphins 14                                           Vikings 10                  L

 2. Eagles  -6 over Lions- It is very rare when I bet against a home underdog, but I just don't see Detroit having much of a chance. Starting QB Matthew Stafford is sidelined for the next 4-6 weeks with a shoulder injury, which basically leads them to just a running game. Even with Eagles QB Kevin Kolb being doubtful, I still think Vick will be able to fill in well enough to cover this spread.

 Eagles 35                                               Lions 32                      L

 Lock of the Week

 Texas -3 over Texas Tech-  Tommy Tuberville and the Texas Tech Red Raiders have their hands full when the Longhorns stampede into town Saturday night. Look to see a very high scoring game and Texas being on top when it is all said and done.

 Texas 24                                                 Texas Tech 14               W
