ULM vs. TCU Free Week 3 Preview & Pick (Sept. 16)

Bet On College Football – Lousiana-Monroe Warhawks vs TCU Horned Frogs Gambling Preview

After two games the Wahawks sit at 1-1 but it is hard to gauge this club right now.  They were shutout by Florida State in their opener and followed that up with a 35-7 pasting of Grambling State.

Boise State vs. Toledo Free Week 3 Preview & Pick (Sept. 16)

Bet On College Football – Boise State Broncos vs Toledo Rockets Gambling Preview

Boise State had little trouble with Georgia in the opener but I am not sure if they were helped in their pursuit of a BCS title game bid by the Bulldogs close loss to South Carolina last week.

UTEP vs. SMU Free Week 2 Preview & Pick (Sept. 10)

Bet On College Football – U. Of Texas El Paso Miners vs Southern Methodist Mustangs Gambling Preview

The only positive thing you can say about UTEP’s performance against Stony Brook is that they didn’t give up.  The Miners were down 24-10 in the third quarter but managed to force overtime and eventually win it.

Gerald J. Ford Stadium – Dallas, Texas
Saturday September 10 – 7:00PM
Moneyline:  SMU -1200, UTEP +925

UTEP

They were lucky to even still have a chance to win it given that they rushed for a paltry 36 yards and turned the ball over 4 times…Although maybe it should not have been a surprise.

The Miners struggles on offense were a result of the fact that they are breaking in an almost entirely new offense, even still their performance against Stony Brook was pitiful.  The only saving grace was they may have found their QB for the next couple of seasons in JC transfer Nick Lamaison.  Hopefully he and the rest of the team might be a little sharper for their first conference test against SMU.

The Miners have had success against SMU – 6-2 since 2003 – including a win as a +6 dog at home last year.  This year, as you can tell by the spread, these teams are much further apart.  The only advantage for the Miners might be that the Mustangs had their hat handed to them by Texas A&M last week in a game that they were trying to prove the program was inching up the status board.  SMU might have trouble getting off the mat.

SMU

I have to admit that I was one of those that thought SMU was ready to take another step this season…but after watching them melt against Texas A&M they appear that they might just be Conference USA good, as opposed to just good.  [soliloquy id=”82219″]

Perhaps the Aggies were geeked up about heading to the SEC but regardless the Mustangs got nothing done after closing the gap to 20-14, eventually losing 46-14.  As much as anything they seemed to lose their confidence.

The Mustang offense is supposed to be formidable but it was pretty meek against Texas A&M.  This was supposed to be the year Kyle Padron put it all together but after throwing interceptions on the first two possessions coach June Jones pulled him out of there for backup J.J. McDermott, who breathed a little life into the attack, but it was short-lived.

The question is who gets the nod against UTEP because they may make him look good.

The defense wasn’t expected to be overly stout but with 8 starters returning a better effort was.  They were gashed on the ground by A&M’s lethal RB duo and sliced and diced through the air by QB Ryan Tannehill, who looks like a Heisman candidate after that outing.  

UTEP is the perfect opponent to get healthy on both sides of the ball so the Mustangs may not be as good as they appear to be after Saturday.

Trends:

UTEP are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games overall.
UTEP are 8-21 ATS vs. a team with a losing record.
Over is 13-6 in UTEP last 19 road games.
SMU are 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 games overall.
SMU are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 home games.

ATS Pick:  SMU -20
Over/Under Pick:  Over 53
Score Prediction:  SMU 45 – UTEP 21

TCU vs Air Force Free Week 2 Preview & Pick (Sept. 10)

Bet On College Football – Texas Christian Horned Frogs vs Air Force Falcons Gambling Preview

It was a shame that TCU lost their opener at Baylor – it was a hell of a game.  Their defense was a mess throughout the contest but with Casey Pachall at the controls they showed amazing determination to get back in the game before losing it late.

Akron vs. Temple Free Week 2 Preview & Pick (Sept. 10)

Bet On College Football – Akron Zips vs Temple Owls Gambling Preview

The Akron Zips were smoked by Ohio State in the opener but I don’t think that was much of a surprise.  The score was 42-0 but when you look behind the numbers it was even uglier.

Bet On College Football – Houston Cougars vs North Texas Mean Green Gambling Preview

The Houston Cougars beat UCLA and covered but it wasn’t the most inspiring opening performance.  Despite knocking out the Bruins starting QB they didn’t win the yardage battle and didn’t do much in the second half as they held on for a 38-34 victory.
