College Football Pick for Thursday September, 27th
NCAA Football Game of The Week: Southern Mississippi vs. Boise State
On paper the Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles- Boise State Broncos game looks like a fairly even match-up. In reality, bookies have enlisted Boise State as a 10-point favorite. Both teams are 2-1 this season and offensively have scored almost the same amount of points (90 for Boise State, 82 for the Golden Eagles). On the defensive side the Broncos looks to have their biggest advantage, giving up only 45 points this season while the Golden Eagles have given up 45. But, if you take a look at all of the major statistics, which include total yards, passing yards, rushing yards, and points scored, you will see that both teams are right around the same mark. Boise State is slightly ahead in all of these categories, but not by enough to warrant thoughts of a blow out. So, why are the Broncos 10 point favorites?
For starters, this game it as home on the blue turf of the Broncos. Boise State has been virtually unbeatable on their home turf, winning 53 of 55 of their last games held at Bronco Stadium. You can also argue that the Broncos have looked better against relative opponents, despite both teams sporting the same record. The Broncos lone loss came 24-10 to the Washington Huskies, in Washington State. The Golden Eagles loss came to Tennessee, in Tennessee 39-19. While it’s always tough to play in Tennessee, the Volunteers have slipped a bit this year, so maybe the bookies are also considering the play of the Golden Eagles in this game. Also, last week Southern Mississippi struggled at East Carolina, winning 28-21, while Boise State beat an underrated Wyoming team 24-14 at home.
Early in the season Boise State fans were concerned with the slow start of running back Ian Johnson, but lately his game has improved. For the year he is now average 4.7 yards per carry and had three touchdowns. Bronco quarterback Taylor Tharp has also appeared to pick up the slack completing 60.4 percent of his passes with 3 TD’s and 3 interceptions. The Golden Eagles also have some offensive weapons as well in QB Jeremy Young and wide receiver Chris Johnson, but I think the home field advantage will just be what takes it for Boise State. My guess (and I emphasize guess) is the Broncos will win by just about the predicted 10 point spread.
College Football Pick for Saturday September 29th
NCAA Football Game of The Week:
(6) California Golden Bears vs. (11) Oregon Ducks
“The old ball coach,” Steve Spurrier has really shown he can coach a college football team. After successful years at the University of Florida, followed by not so successful years as the Washington Redskins coach, he has his South Carolina Gamecocks undefeated and ready to roar against the LSU Tigers. However, the LSU squad is playing incredibly inspired football, allowing only one touchdown in three games and averaging about 46 points per game, including over 40 points in all of their outings. Their “toughest” challenge of the year so far was when Virginia Tech came to town. By the end of the first half LSU had a 24-0 game, and for all intents and purposes the game was over. The Tigers have followed up that performance with a 44-0 performance, led by first time starting quarterback Ryan Perrilloux (304 yards passing and three touchdowns.)
South Carolina’s most impressive win came two weeks ago at Georgia in a 16-12 victory. The Gamecocks were slight underdogs in this game, but as you can imagine they will be huge underdogs in this one. The current line has LSU as 16.5 point favorites. South Carolina will need to play better offense if they even hope to have a prayer against the number two rated team in the country. They did put up 38 points last week, but that was against unheralded South Carolina State. Quarterback Blake Mitchell has been steady, but hasn’t been overpowering throwing for 321 yards and three touchdowns in the early season. South Carolina is a hard team to get a grasp on, because one week they look average and the next week they are beating Georgia at Georgia.
My guess here is that the speed, power, and overall better talent at key positions with put LSU over in this one. If the Gamecocks defense can find away to slow down the rushing tandem of Jacob Hester and Keiland Williams they might have a shot, but with LSU playing at home, on top of the other things mentioned, I like LSU to win this one by 20 points, at least.
