Unfortunately for McNabb he has several things going against him. First off, Washington’s offense stinks. In fact the Redskins just plain stink in general.
I want to take my pure MLB pick-maker hat off for a moment and exchange it for a betting advisor hat. A lot of bettors who read my picks wonder why I often (though not always) discuss MLB matchups a day or more in advance and not during game time — like when I make Sunday Night Baseball Picks.

The Rose Bowl, as much a New Year’s Day tradition as a wicked hangover, kicks off two BCS Bowl games on the first day of 2010.
The oldest of all College Football games features the Pac-10 champion Oregon Ducks, ranked 7th, facing the No. 8 Ohio State Buckeyes, who won the Big 10 title (5 pm ET, ABC).

One of the biggest games Saturday is also the biggest party; the “World’s Largest Cocktail Party” between Florida and rival Georgia.

Iowa at Penn State (8:00 PM ET, ABC)
The Big Ten kicks off its conference slate this week with a full set of matchups. The highlight contest is in State College, Pennsylvania, and the ESPN Game Day Crew and ABC will be on hand for the battle of unbeatens, Iowa and Penn State. Kickoff time is set for 8:00 PM ET, and Penn State is a near double-digit favorite at Sportsbook.com. Several interesting trends suggest the game might be much closer though.
Missouri at Nevada (9:00 PM ET, ESPN)

Strangely, after opening with Boise as a 12-point opening favorite, Sportsbook.com now has it at Boise -7.5, despite over 80% of spread bets backing that side.
This ACC encounter starts week two of the college football campaign and it has the potential to be a good one.
