I will be keeping it pretty simple for now, if someone wants an explanation on some of my picks I will be more than willing to give it. I never posted picks on the old mb, because there was so many postings on there they got lost most of the time. I like the way this board has gone so far so I figured I'd give it a try for better or worse. 3 Units Illinois -7 vs Mizzou, neutral site I love the offense for Illinois vs Mizzou D and think the Mizzou O vs Illinois D will be a wash. 41-24 Illini 3 Units Ohio +4 1/2 vs UCONN UCONN will be seriously suffering losing their 5 best players, with 3 HUGE loses in the first two rounds of the NFL draft. Some people are in the belief that Frazer will be so much better than Lorenzen that the offense won't fall off too much, but I think the loss of Brown is far worse than the upgrade of Frazer. Ohio should be very improved and challenge for the MAC title. Home opener I like, Ohio to win outright. Ohio 24-17 2 Units UTEP -7 vs Buffalo Not much of a write up here, story book ride is over. And now Starks is out, Going cross country I like UTEP big. 35-13 UTEP 2 Units Troy -6 1/2 vs Bowling Green Troy should be a player in the Sun Belt this year, Bowling Green is in the middle of a coaching change and has only 10 starters back. Troy 28-10 More picks to come probably tomorrow.
