Picks Thead Week 2 (YTD 1-0)

I posted these before, but will move them to a week two thread so they are with everyone else's "Week Two" picks.

THURSDAY

#126 Northern Illinois +7.5

Covering machine NIU opens against an injured Maryland team at home in Dekalb. The huskeys were 9-2 ATS last season and have a senior laden squad this year. Maryland will not be focused for the passing attack they will face, rather they will be looking to week two's showdown with FSU. Maryland may come back late to win by one or two, but this one will be tight throughout.

SATURDAY

#151 Central Michigan +34
Ditto Ben Dover.

#165 Oklahoma State +8.5
The days of playing Big 12 spoiler appear to be over for the Cowboys, who've taken a place among the Big 12 contenders. "We came from the gutter," defensive end Greg Richmond said. "We were a team that was last in the Big 12 before Baylor. It's a wonderful feeling to be talked about and have guys give you the recognition that you wanted." Said third-year head coach Les Miles: "We accomplished certain goals for the team and yet we've left certain opportunities on the table. Very frankly, we look forward to playing this season with new and more ambitious goals." No better way to start the climb to the top than with a win vs a weaker confrence opponant.

#159 South Florida +17.5
The Bulls have an excellent chance to upset former SEC Powerhouse Alabama. Bama is still reeling from NCAA sanctions and scandal. This is an easy game to look past, but South Florida has some talent. They should keep it close enough to cover.

#172 Auburn -3.5
Auburn is loaded. The end.

#147 Georgia -2

Bulldogs are banged up a little, but should win at Clemson by more than a field goal.

SUNDAY

#200 Kentucky -5.5

Kentucky's passing offense will be near tops in the nation again this year with returning "Round Mound of Touchdown" Jared Lorenzon. The 285 lb senior would love nothing less than to make it to a bowl game in his final season. The Cats return arguably the best starting offensive line in NCAA football. That combined with the triumphant return of defensive coordinater Mike Archer, the cats may turn some heads in the opener vs Louisville. The Cards are looking for a QB and the best choice is True Freshman Michael Bush, but he is not likely to get the job. Look for the cats to win by 10.
