Bubba's picks for Week 1B. Too many potential blowout games. First marquee matchup of the season. Forget about last week's Zona joke. Getting my feet wet on the new season, starting with five games. 3. Syracuse -12.5 (at Toledo): Orangemen are very talented, by comparison. 10.Tennessee -23.5 (vs Wyoming): Should be a 4 td's margin. 37.Notre Dame +7.5 (@ Michigan): Taking the dog on this marquee matchup. 58.Colorado -13.0 (vs Colorado St): At Mile High Stadium and another repeat of last year's, maybe worse. The Buffs offensive line should be doninating. (GOW pick) 85.USC -27.0 (at Hawaii): Rich vs poor, talent wise. ========================================================

OK, Bill, thanks to ole BubbaFred, I'm back. Decided to do this again rather than open up my own 1-800 number. So bring it on! Where's that John guy who "Alex Johnsoned" me last year? Let's get him back and see if we can't break 60% against the line this year. Anyway, Week 1: 10.Tennessee -23.5 15.Nebraska -23.5 18.Navy +20.0 22.Texas -11.0 28.Boston College -4.5 33.West Virginia -5.5 37.Notre Dame +7.5 39.Bowling Green +7.0 45.Rutgers +18.0 50.Clemson -1.0 52.Florida -36.5 58.Colorado -13.0 Good luck to all who play.

Adding 5 more picks, with 3 blowouts and 1 UPSET picks. Ten picks this week, the first 5 picks are in Message 11136210 12.UCLA -29.0 (vs Boise St): One team is just too superior, talent wise. Bruins and PAC-10 both need big blowout to regain any respect. 13.Miami-Ohio -3.5 (at Northwestern): It will be a return to their old selves. Another hapless NU team vs the defensive coordinator and the running back coach who stayed. Defense will win the game, and Prentice will get his yards. Redhawks by 10. 17.Ga Tech -20.0 (at Navy): Early in the season, it is usually better to go with the Service Academy dogs, due to their early season superior conditioning. Not this one, too much to overcome. 52.Florida -36.5 (vs Western Mich): Playing a patsy will require a big blowout to maintain respect and keep a strong no. 4 ranking. QB Johnson appears to have strong commitment. This could be a super blowout. 74. Louisana Tech +14.5 (vs. Texas A&M): Will or can Aggies D stops Rattay? Forget it, and don't even dream it possible. Upset win likely. ============================================================ First 5 picks in siliconinvestor.com 3. Syracuse -12.5 (at Toledo): Orangemen are very talented, by comparison. 10.Tennessee -23.5 (vs Wyoming): Should be a 4 td's margin. 37.Notre Dame +7.5 (@ Michigan): Taking the dog on this marquee matchup. 58.Colorado -13.0 (vs Colorado St): At Mile High Stadium and another repeat of last year's, maybe worse.
