USC is a team in disarray and after the NCAA brought the hammer down on the Trojans, this season was going to likely be a tough one. However, despite playing for nothing I think USC comes out of the gates strong as simply as a matter of pride more than anything else. The team is going to likely struggle for the next couple years more so than this year because of the loss of future scholarships. This is a statement game for USC. Hawaii was on top of the world just a couple years ago as it boasted one of the best offenses in the country while putting together a combined 23-4 record in 2006 and 2007. Head coach June Jones decided to leave after the 2007 season and it has not been the same as the Warriors have gone 13-14 in the two years since under head coach Greg McMakin. Hawaii brings back just 12 starters from last season and a lot of the rebuilding spots are key positions. The Trojans offense should start right where it left off last season. They finished 55th and 64th respectively in total offense and scoring offense and those are not typical USC rankings. However they Trojans were hit hard with injuries and were also starting a freshman at quarterback Matt Barkley. Barkley was average but again, he was just a freshman and that year of experience will be a huge benefit this season. He has an experienced line in from and a great running game behind him. Head coach Lane Kiffin brought some baggage with him but he also brought in his father Monte Kiffin to run the defense. The stop unit was average as well but the front seven will be vastly improved after a year of inexperience set them back. The secondary is an area of concern as all four starters have to be replaced. However cornerback Shareece Wright, who was academically ineligible last season, is back for his senior season and is their best cover corner. Hawaii will be more than ready for this game, especially at home but top to bottom it cannot compete with the Trojans even though the team is thin with injuries and transfers. The Trojans also fall into a solid situation that has been profitable for years. Play against home teams that allowed a 58 percent or worse completion percentage and with five offensive starters returning, in the first month of the season. This situation is 33-4 ATS (89.2 percent) over the last 10 seasons. The Trojans are 22-7 ATS in their last 29 non-conference games. 3* USC Trojans

Minnesota U vs. Middle Tenn St (NCAAF) - Sep 2, 2010 7:30 PM EDT
Play: Point Spread: -1.5/-108 Minnesota U Pick Title:
Minnesota -2.5
The bottom line in this game, a Big 10 team playing a Sun Belt team should always be a favorite, and Minny is 6-2 ATS their last 8 versus the Sun Belt conference. The KEY in this game is that Middle Tennessee who is a GOOD football team, has lost the services of all world QB Dwight Dasher to suspension. We was the 7th ranked offensive player in total yard production in 2009 and will be sorely missed. I liken it to the San Fran 49ers losing Joe Montana right before the Super Bowl. Minnesota has some issues on defense, but their offense is led by Adam Weber making his 39th start at QB and the guy can flat out get it done. Minnesota also has been known to be a bankable team over the years in their openers going 7-1 the last 8 years SU. Without Dasher at QB for MTSU in this one, and a JUCO transfer starting his first division I game against a BCS school, I like Minnys chances here to outscore MTSU on the road and win by 8 to 10 points.

Take the Owls as your FREE College Football Winner tonight. Gotten love the old man Howard Schnellenberger. This guy is the energizer bunny. Owls strength is their defense and UAB is a bit overrated in my eyes. Fla. Atl. normally takes on Texas, Nebraska, South Carolina et al.

Play: Point Spread: 3/-122 Denver Broncos Pick Title: Jeff's Week One NFL Free Pick
Denver Broncos +3
The Broncos secondary will be able to shutdown Jacksonville's passing attack without much effort. Denver will than focus on stopping the run with only their front seven. Maurice Jones-Drew injury is a minor concern and he is coming off a heavy workload in 2009-10. Denver has a history of starting fast so don't be surprised if the Broncos win this game straight-up. Take Denver plus the points!
Tulsa vs. East Carolina (NCAAF) - Sep 5, 2010 2:00 PM EDT
Play: Point Spread: 8/-102 East Carolina Pick Title:
Free Play from Doc’s Sports. #104 Take East Carolina over Tulsa (Sunday 2 pm ESPN 2) A new era for the Pirates starts on Sunday, as Ruffin McNeil takes over as the new head coach of East Carolina. Former Coach Skip Holtz left and took with him much of the talent from last year’s 9-5 team. That being said, I just do not believe that the Golden Hurricanes are good enough to be able to cover this number on the road. East Carolina won at Tulsa this year by a score of 44-17, as a four point underdog. WR Dwayne Harris is still on the team and I expect him to go over 1000 yards receiving on the year. The Golden Hurricanes return only five starters on defense and I expect this to be a high scoring game with the underdog covering easily. East Carolina is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 Conference USA games. Don’t miss Doc’s Sports weekend card, featuring a top play from the Big Ten, a conference Doc has owned for 39 years.
Play: Point Spread: -20.5/-105 Wisconsin Pick Title: 3 units
Just can't see the Badgers not winning by 30 here against this Rebels defensive unit that allowed 33 points and 460 yards a game during last years 3-8 ATS campaign. Wisconsin returns 10 starters on offense including senior quarterback Scott Tolzien who threw for 16 touchdowns and 2,700 yards completing 64% of his passes. Tolzien will definitely be helped by 3 first team all Big Ten players in Tackle Gabe Carimi, Guard John Moffitt, and running back John Clay. This offense ranked 3rd in rushing yards with 204 yards a game and I can see them wearing down this very thin UNLV front 7 that ranked 112th in the nation against the run last year. The Badgers score early and often making them the solid release in this spot tonight.
Pittsburgh U vs. Utah (NCAAF) - Sep 2, 2010 8:30 PM EDT
Play: Point Spread: 3/-108 Pittsburgh U Pick Title:
Finally its here CFB starts on Thursday and Craig is all over it with a 5 star **Gridiron Starter** to roll with. Even better get in on Craig's all football package at a 35% discount at only $299 for all football plays thru super bowl. Don't wait this price goes away NLF week 1!
PIT +3: This line has been moving in our favor and loved it at opening line at +1. Only questions that kept this from a top 5 star play was new QB Sunseri for PITT. Still PITT offense is loaded with Lewis at RB and Baldwin at WR, both of which are future NFL superstars. UTAH defense has been good the last two years but losing both safties could have them vulnerable early in the season. PITT defense will also be very stout as they are loaded with depth on the line. Pretty good starting play here.
New York Jets vs. Philadelphia Eagles (NFL) - Sep 2, 2010 7:30 PM EDT
Play: Point Spread: 1/102 New York Jets Pick Title: RV: Thursday night free play + BIG TRIPLE PACK INFO
Thursday Triple System NFLX Side + 5* MLB 94% Diamond Cutter system + NCAAF Power system play
On Thursday the free play in the NFL is on the New York Jets. Game 107 at 7:30 eastern. While there are no specific systems that apply to the game its worth noting that The Jets have won this game between these 2 teams the last eight times they have met. The Jets always make a point of covering in the last preseason road game covering in 9 of the last 10 seasons. Coach Andy Reid on the other hand does not put much stock into the last game of the preseason as he has lost 9 of the last 11 times. With both teams resting key personnel we will back the Jets to get the win. On Thursday I have a Big Triple pack of plays led by a 5* MLB Diamond Cutter that has cashed 94% of the time as well as a Triple system NFLX side and a Big Power Play in College Football. For the free play take the Jets to soar past the Eagles. RV
