College Football Handicapping: Week 1 Review

Burns’ Small Conference Report

Ben Burns
Ben Burns

Who impressed?

Colorado State: Bettors would be wise to take notice of Rams’ coach Steve Fairchild. He’s a rising star, and it showed against rival Colorado Sunday.

Colorado State’s offense, featuring the most experienced offensive line in the nation, was balanced (208 passing, 168 rushing) and was a step ahead of the Buffalo defense throughout the first half.

The Rams’ defense shut down what is expected to be a good Buffalo rushing attack. Colorado averaged just 1.4 yards per carry and finished with 29 yards rushing.

2009 N.Y. Jets – Mark Sanchez Starts at QB

Expectations high for Sanchez

The New York Jets will go from one extreme to the other this season when they hand the reins of their offense to rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez. The USC project was expected to be heir apparent to Brett Favre, who retired, unretired, retired again and will now be plying his trade with the Minnesota Vikings in 2009/10.

Ben Burns: Bad Beats September 7th

Bad Beats: Welcome to college football by a straight right

Ben Burns

College football welcomed back bettors with a LaGarrett Blount right hand instead of a friendly handshake.
The opening week featured backdoor covers, favorites who forgot to score in the second half, a last-minute safety that affected a total and a meaningless touchdown on the game’s final play that hurt.

Big Al’s Early NFL Handicapping Tips

Early NFL: What To Look For

Big Al
Big Al

The best time of the sports year kicks off this week as we begin the NFL season. From preseason play and recent history we can get a good idea about some of the strengths and weaknesses of several teams.

If you like to play totals keep in mind that the Minnesota Vikings were 3-1 under the total in preseason. Sure, all the talk has been on Brett Favre and what he potentially can give them — a star QB they have not had since Fran Tarkenton retired. But remember, Favre joins a run-first offense, one with a great offensive line and a pair of terrific RBs in Adrian Peterson and Chester Taylor.
