2013 Iowa St. Cyclones Gambling Odds | Predictions

2013 Football Previews – Big 12 – Cyclones

The Cyclones hope to stake improvement on a blue-collar offensive line and an effective running game. Starting RB James White must bounce back from injury, but he brings veteran experience.

2013 Baylor Bears Gambling Odds | Predictions

2013 Football Previews – Big 12 – Bears

Baylor head coach Art Briles has a fantastic pedigree developing signal-callers, but it’s the running backs in Waco that have everyone talking. The duo of Lache Seastrunk and Glasco Martin might just be the best in America.

2013 Kansas State Wildcats Gambling Odds | Predictions

2013 Football Previews – Big 12 – Wildcats

There’s no doubt that Kansas State has some talented players sprinkled on its roster. There is also no doubt that aging head coach Bill Snyder deserves all the credit in the world, as he has more than once made this program contend nationally – at a football school that could well be a Bowl Subdivision team (or worse) – without him.

2013 West Virginia Mountaineers Gambling Odds | Predictions

2013 Football Previews – Big 12 – Mountaineers

The departure of longtime starting QB Geno Smith signals the departure of a gifted passer and a gifted athlete who put up some mind-numbing statistics. Moreover, it’s not just Smith who says goodbye to Morgantown for the greener pastures of the NFL.

Texas Christian University is in better shape than most Big 12 teams at the quarterback position, although its success still rides on a massive “what-if”.

2013 Oklahoma Sooners Gambling Odds | Predictions

2013 Football Previews – Big 12 – Sooners

The Sooners have their usual wealth of talent on the roster, but it’s unlikely that the transition from longtime starting QB Landry Jones to bulldozing goal-line threat Blake Bell will occur without some (likely considerable) growing pains.

2013 Texas Longhorns Gambling Odds | Predictions

2013 Football Previews – Big 12 – Longhorns

Texas’s main advantage this season is being able to feature the most pedigreed, most accurate – and really, just downright best – QB in the Big 12, with junior David Ash. Ash had a poor outing against hated rival Oklahoma (which is mildly concerning) and TCU, but he played against the Horned Frogs while nursing a broken rib.

2013 Oklahoma St. Cowboys Gambling Odds | Predictions

2013 Football Previews – Big 12 – Cowboys

Over the past couple of seasons, Oklahoma State has become more than just an offensive juggernaut that dumps points on the opposition. The Cowboys have a chance to be a very respectable defensive team in ’13, thanks to the athleticism of DT Calvin Barnett and LBs Shaun Lewis and Caleb Lavey.

WSU Cougars 2013 NCAA Football Gambling Odds & Predictions

2013-14 Football Previews — (Pac-12) — Cougars

The Washington State Cougars entered 2012 with high hopes following the hiring of Mike Leach. The return of the head coach to college football was supposed to bring the team a new flair, and while the exciting offense was certainly there at times, the success that followed was underwhelming to say the least.

2013-14 Football Previews — (Pac-12) — Utes

The Utah Utes entered the 2012 season with high expectations after a successful first season in the Pac-12. Unfortunately for them, injuries and inconsistency plagued the team throughout the year, meaning they’ll enter 2013 a bit more under the radar than they were a year ago.

2013-14 Football Previews — (Pac-12) — Golden Bears

The California Golden Bears went just 3-9 during the 2012 college football season, and as a result, head coach Jeff Tedford was relieved of his duties just a few days after the year came to an end. Now roaming the sidelines will be former Louisiana Tech coach Sonny Dykes.

Colorado Buffaloes 2013 NCAA Football Gambling Odds & Predictions

2013-14 Football Previews — (Pac-12) — Buffaloes

The 2012-13 Colorado Buffaloes were one of the worst teams in all of college football, and it’s not an exaggeration to say that. Head coach Jon Embree led his team to a 1-11 season, and as a result, he saw himself kicked to the curb when the year finally came to an end.

Washington Huskies 2013 NCAA Football Gambling Odds & Predictions

2013-14 Football Previews – (Pac 12) – Huskies

The Washington Huskies are full of potential, but they can’t quite get over the hump. Steve Sarkisian and his squad have gone 7-6 the last three years, and while they’ll look to improve upon that mark, they’ll also have to prove people wrong who believe they’ve hit their ceiling.
