We already looked ahead and made some Week-1 NFL picks over the summer. But now we have a full preseason of education under our belts. Which picks have changed as a result? Here are three games to try.
The Florida International Golden Panthers square-off against the Louisville Cardinals this upcoming Friday night at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium in a Sun Belt verse Big East non-conference matchup.
CFB Football Previews – Miami (FL) Hurricanes vs Maryland Terrapins
Pandemonium! Personally, I already thought Miami versus Maryland would be a deceptively close game. Now, with the NCAA scandal rocking Miami and eight players suspended, bettors really have to give Maryland a hard look at home.
OK, Florida State, time to justify that lofty perch in the NCAA preseason coaches’ poll. Even with Christian Ponder gone, it seems everyone expects E.J. Manuel to lead this team to major BCS contention. A blowout win over UL-Monroe would be the first step toward living up to the hype.
If you’re looking for an exciting early game to watch on Saturday, don’t sleep on Northwestern/Boston College, which features two underrated teams.
The No.7 Boise State Bulldogs kick-off their inaugural season in the Mountain West with a non-conference showdown with the SEC’s No.22 ranked Georgia Bulldogs this Saturday night at the Georgia Dome.
The Florida Atlantic Owls, out of the Sun Belt Conference travel to Gainesville for an in-state matchup with the SEC’s Florida Gators this Saturday night in the season opener for both teams. Kick-off is slated for 7 p.m. and the game will be broadcast on ESPNU.
And so life as an Independent begins. Brigham Young believes it can be a force in 2011 after it won five of its final six games last season, scoring 40 or more points four times and allowing 10 points or fewer three times over that span.
The Thundering Herd of Marshall, out of Conference-USA storm into Morgantown this upcoming Sunday afternoon to take on the No. 24-ranked West Virginia Mountaineers from the Big East in the season opener for these two in-state rivals. Kick-off is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. and the game will be broadcast nationally on ESPN.
The Buffalo Bulls out of the Eastern Division of the Mid-American Conference open their 2011 football campaign against the Pittsburgh Panthers from the Big East this Saturday night at Heinz Field. The game is slated to start at 6 p.m. and it will be available on ESPN3.com.
The Wake Forest Demon Deacons out of the ACC open their 2011 season on the road this Thursday night when the tangle with the Big East’s Syracuse Orange at the Carrier Dome. All the action gets underway at 8 p.m. and the game will be available on ESPN3.com.
The Murray State Racers and the Louisville Cardinals have the honor of being the first game on the schedule to kick-off the 2011 Division I college football season in this Thursday night matchup at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium. Game time is set for 6 p.m. (ET) and it will be broadcast on ESPNU.
Is college football betting different than NFL football betting? In a word, yes. Sure, the sports are mostly the same and many of the basic principles don’t need to be covered again.
There is no more powerful force in sports betting than NFL football. It garners the majority of action at all books and it’s a big reason why the NFL itself is the most popular major pro sports league.
After all the parity that has spread throughout the Canadian Football League over the last few years its getting hard to pick a winner in 2011. We can’t pretend that it’s the same caliber of football that we see in the NFL – but the Canadian Football League can still be fun.
In the market for the best Packers vs. Steelers picks on the web? The Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers both made life miserable for the Dallas Cowboys in the past. They now meet on the Cowboys’ home field in Super Bowl XLV.
