I don't want to be counted in the contest... just wanted to give my opinion.

I think Louisiana Tech could be in for a trap game. First ever NFL Network college game, vs a proud local school with lots of fans. Should be an easy win. Could spell serious trouble.

Interested in seeing the Charlotte - Appy outcome. I expect Charlotte to surprise people. They won't win, but I look for a respectable game. Maybe 2-3 touchdown loss. Which, to me, would be a welcome surprise, because Appy is really good.

Interested in seeing what the hype is with UTSA's quarterback.

Expect a blowout in the FAU game, but hoping for an upset.

High hopes for North Texas to defeat SMU. Your conference needs this. Should be able to get the win.

USM is going to make a game of it, today. MSU is primed for a loss, we are due, and we are Nasty on defense. But how many times have I been let down? Got to keep believing. SMTTT

8:00PM Wake Forest (1-0) @ Rice (0-1) Wake -18.5
MY LINE: Wake Forest 31-18 Rice has yet to show me something and I think Wake will be good this year.
REALITY SAID: Wake Forest 41-21 Rice was kind of in it for a minute.
1-0

9:00PM Marshall (1-0) @ Boise State (1-0) Boise -12.5
MY LINE: Boise State 35-25 Marshall might get the upset if Boise is feeling themselves too much after the road win at FSU.
REALITY SAID: Boise State 14-7Surprised at the low offense and in watching I am surprised Marshall didn't get it done--they were right there.
2-0

Noon Old Dominion (1-0) @ VaTech (0-1) VT -28.5
MY LINE: VT 30-21 I think VT has some issues to where there is a crack in the armor for ODU to have a shot, but I think VT gets this.

3:30PM USM (1-0) @ Miss State (1-0) MSU -16.5
MY LINE: Miss St 34-30 USM could very well have the stones to get that road win but I always side with the SEC in these road games like this because it always seems like there is something on their side to assure the win.
REALITY SAID: MSU 38-15 I really thought USM would have a better offensive showing.
6-0

3:30PM Charlotte (1-0) @ App State (1-0) App -21.5
MY LINE: App State 37-20 App State wins.
REALITY SAID: App State 56-41 WOW, way off on the offense generated in this game. What gives? Charlotte getting better, App State caught sleeping?

REALITY SAID: SMU 49-27 DAMN... should have kept my AAC pick with SMU winning. But I honestly didn't expect SMU to roll UNT like that.

DAMN IT, I could have had a perfect week had I kept my AAC pick of SMU in tact here. Can I get like a half point?
