Week #1 Betting Recap -Thursday Night South Carolina vs. North Carolina – (17-13) The Gamecocks covered this spread late, and I’m glad I did not play it. I actually leaned heavily towards the Tarheels, but I just can’t trust them until I see more. They definitely have the opportunity to surprise people this year and are on my list of teams with value. Their defense looked far better, but in the end they could not get over the hump. North Carolina did not score in the second half, and despite out gaining South Carolina gave up 254 rushing yards, got dominated in time of possession 35-25, and turned the ball over 3 times.

I actually got lucky after releasing this game very early in the […]

It will likely be Jake Coker, the transfer from Florida State that gets the call behind center, but nothing is official. The challenge for Wisconsin is theyw ill have their 3rd coach in 4 years. They typically are pretty consistent, but this could turn out to be too much in a Big 10 conference that just continues to add coaching talent making it very difficult for anyone to recruit. Wisconsin does get a few guys back including Joel Stave, who has tons of experience at this point in his career. I do […]
