Ivory Coast has the nickname of the Elephants and they have to be happy to be out of the Group of Death, which they played in 2010 and did not advance. They have a good attack and a decent midfield, but the squad tends to lack the team game and that has hurt them in big international tournaments. They are tied for the 2nd best odds to win the group and they have the best odds to win the World Cup than any other African squad. <br /><br /><b>Group Preview </b><br /><br />Ivory Coast is not in the toughest of pools in Group C along with Greece, Japan, and Colombia. They face a technically talented squad in Japan in their first match and while the African nation may have more talent on the pitch they have to not get frustrated by the Japanese style of play. The 2nd may be one to watch since each team has a strong attack.<br />
<br />
In their last match they face a team from Greece that has one of the better defensive squads in the World Cup. <br /><a href="http://guardianlv.com/2014/06/why-to-bet-on-croatia-in-the-world-cup/">BETTING ODDS</a><br /><br />Odds to win World Cup: +12500<br /><br />Odds to win Group: +375 <br /><br />Odds to finish bottom of group: +225<br /><br />Best World Cup Finish: Group Stage (2006, 2010)<br /><br /><b>World Cup Match Schedule </b><br /><br />14/06/14 Ivory Coast vs. Japan - Arena Pernambuco <br /><br />19/06/14 Colombia vs. Ivory Coast - Nacional <br /><br />24/06/14 Greece vs. Ivory Coast - Estadio Castelão<br /><br />Qualifying <br /><br />Ivory Coast did not lose a match in African World Cup qualifying and in the mandatory players they won 4-2 on aggregate facing Senegal. The Elephants scored in all 10 of their qualifying matches and while they did have 4 clean sheets that was facing inferior opponents. They failed to register a clean sheet in their last 4 qualifying matches. Overall, they went 6-0-4 and after qualifying they lost their first four friendly matches and did not look very impressive even though they played a couple of legit squads. <br /><br />Strengths and Weaknesses <br /><br />Didier Drogba was once one of the best strikers in the world and can he lead the squad’s attack this summer? Manchester City’s Yaya Toure and Liverpool’s Kolo Toure are a couple of great midfielders that have big match experience and each has the talent to press forward on the attack. The Elephants had issues in qualifying giving up late goals, as almost half the ones they conceded came in the last 15 of the match. The defense is also not a great one and the midfield will be counted on to help the back line out.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
As we wrap up the NCAA Football season we are looking at record profits. This game will be no exception call our free pick phone for our 5 Star College Football Lock for the Bama Auburn game at 1-888-730-2667. <br /><br /><a href="http://cooperspick.com/odds.php?leauge=ncaaf">The current Point Spread: Alabama has Alabama favored by 10.5 points and the total set at O/U 54.5</a><br /><br />Game kicks off on Saturday November 30, 2013 7 PM EST ESPN2 / CBS<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Alabama Roll Tide Auburn Tigers Pick Against the Spread</h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />The winner of this Iron Bowl game will take the SEC West Crown and play in the conference championship game. These 2 teams have won the last 34 NationalChampionships and Alabama is the big 10.5-point betting favorite in this game even on the road with a total of 54.5. <br /><br />Not much is at stake in this rivalry besides BCS implications. Auburn needs to beat Alabama and have Florida State or Ohio State to lose to have any chance to get to the BCS title game. <br /><br />Auburn has the nation’s 2nd defense that is the top ranked unit in the nation. Auburn is pumped for this game, but they gave up 38 points in their last win and that is a big concern facing the Tide. <br /><br />Last season Alabama crushed Auburn 49-0, which was the 2nd Iron Bowl history. <br /><br />In their last games Alabama had no problems in their 49-0 win over Chattanooga and Auburn plays a solid game on offense and beat Georgia 45-38. <br /><br />On the season Alabama is 6-4-1 ATS and they have an O/U record of 5-5-1 and Auburn is 9-2 ATS and they have an O/U record of 6-5. <br /><br />For Auburn to pull of the upset they will need RB Tre Mason to and QB Nick Marshall to have good games. Mason has ranked up 1,153 yards this season with 17 TD and Marshall is the team’s 2nd the 100-yard rushing barrier in 5 of his last 6 games. Marshall had a good passing game against Georgia, but the Tigers will have to run the ball well to win. <br /><br />Alabama ranks 4th A.J. McCarron leads the Tide and he not only has a legit WR corps, but a great offensive line. Auburn gave up 415 passing yards and 117 rushing yards in the win over Georgia and if they play D like than again they will lose badly, as the Tigers’ offense will not light up the scoreboard on the Tide defense. <br /><br />The Bama RB duo of T.J. Yeldon and Kenyan Drake have combined for 1,683 rushing yard and 20 TD on the season and if they can run the ball on Auburn the Tigers are in for a long game ranked rushing attack and they will be facing a Tide leading rusher. Mason has broken in the nation defending the run and 7th<br /><br />In some betting trends for this SEC match up Alabama is 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games, 11-5 in their last 16 road games, and in their last 7 games facing a team that has a winning record they have an Over record of 5-2. <br /><br />Auburn is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 home games, 5-0 ATS vs. a team with a winning record, and in their last 6 games overall they have an Over record of 5-1. <br /><br />In the last 8 games between these 2 rivals the favorite has covered the spread 6 times.</div>

Miami Hurricanes vs. Florida State Seminoles Preview <br /><br />NCAAF Football Point Spread: Florida State -22 O/U 61<br /><br />Saturday November 2, 2013 8 PM EST ABC<br /><br />By: Barrett Kazmerzack of Coopers Pick CALL NOW 1-888-730-2667<br /><br />Both Miami and Florida State are undefeated and ranked in the top 10, but the <br /><br />Seminoles are a big home 22-point favorite with a total of 61 points. There is a <br /><br />good chance that these teams may meet again in the ACC title game. <br /><br />Miami has the offense and a great running back in Duke Johnson, but they not <br /><br />only face a FSU team that has the nation’s 4th<br /><br />ranks 3rd<br /><br /> in the nation in scoring. <br /><br />Miami has not looked great in their last 2 games playing unranked teams and if <br /><br />they play like that in this this game the FSU will crush them.<br /><br />Miami has not faced a ranked team sins the 2nd<br /><br />In their last games Florida State crushed NC State 49-17 while Miami needed a <br /><br />late score to beat Wake Forest 24-21. <br /><br />On the season Miami is at 4-3 ATS and they have an O/U record of 3-4 and <br /><br />Florida State is at 5-2 ATS and they have an O/U record of 7-0. <br /><br />Seminoles freshman QB Jameis Winston is in the Heisman race and with good <br /><br />reason with 2,177 passing yards with 30 TD and only 4 INT. Rashad Greene <br /><br />and Kenny Shaw are his main targets and they have not only combined for <br /><br />11 TD, but they are both averaging over 17 yards per catch. Miami has a legit <br /><br />pass defense ranking 17th<br /><br />important. Last week Miami gave up over 300 yards in the air to Wake Forest. <br /><br />Devonta Freeman and Karlos Williams are the lead RB’s for FSU and each has <br /><br />been solid this season. The Canes rank 39th<br /><br />played great in the win over Wake Forest. <br /><br />In the Wake Forest game the Hurricanes rushed for 200 yards with Duke <br /><br />Johnson gaining 168 of those. He has rushed for at least 165 yards in 2 of his <br /><br />last 3 games, but will face a FSU run D that ranks 29th<br /><br />Stephen Morris is a solid QB for Miami has he has some good targets, but can <br /><br />he move the ball facing the Seminoles, who have a pass defense that is #1 in the <br /><br />nation? Big question for Miami in this HUGE ACC battle. <br /><br /> best defense, but an offense that <br /><br /> game when they beat Florida. <br /><br />, but their pass rush, which ranks 11th<br /><br />, may be just as <br /><br /> in the nation in run defense and they <br /><br /> in the nation. <br /><br />In some betting trends for this ACC match up Miami is 9-3 ATS in their last 12 <br /><br />road games, 5-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning record, and in their last 8 road <br /><br />games they have an Under record of 6-2. <br /><br />Florida State is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games, 6-2 ATS in their last 8 <br /><br />games overall, and in their last 4 home games they have an Over record of 4-0. <br /><br />In their last 7 games at Florida State Miami is 6-1 ATS.</div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','Arial';">Saturday October 13, 2012 3 PM EST NBC</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','Arial';">By: Barrett Kazmerzack of Coopers Pick CALL NOW 1-888-730-2667</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','Arial';">Notre Dame (5-0) looks to be back to a national powerhouse, as they
crushed a good Miami team last week and beat a ranked team in their
previous 2 games. Their defense ranks 2<sup>nd</sup> in the nation and
they have not given up double digits in points in their last 3 games. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','Arial';">Stanford was a little lucky to come away with an OT win in their last
game and their defense gave up a ton of yards. Their offense bailed
them out scoring 52 points, but can they do that against a confident
and stacked Notre Dame defense? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','Arial';">In last season’s game between these 2 teams Stanford beat Notre
Dame 28-14, but that was with a guy named Andrew Luck under center. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','Arial';">Stanford beat Arizona in a 52-48 shootout in their last game and Notre
Dame stayed unbeaten with a 41-3 rout of Miami. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','Arial';">On the Season Stanford is 2-3 ATS and they have an Over/Under record
of 2-3 and Notre Dame is a solid 4-1 ATS and they have an Over/Under
record of 1-4. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','Arial';">Stanford’s offense was in full effect in the Arizona barnburner
with over 615 yards of total offense. QB Josh Nunes passing for 360
yards with 2 TD and 0 INT and will be Notre Dame’s pass defense ranks
22<sup>nd</sup> in the nation and they did give up 201 passing yards
to Miami. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','Arial';">The Notre Dame run defense held Miami to only 84 rushing yards last
week, but have a tougher task in this big non-conference match up facing
Stanford RB Stepfan Taylor, who rushed for 142 yards with 2 TD in the
Arizona game. Notre Dame has a great run D and their pass rush is also
solid with 14 sacks and the Cardinal offensive line must play well in
this game. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','Arial';">Irish QB Everett Golson passed for 186 yards in the Miami game and
he may split time with Tommy Rees. Notre Dame’s strength on offense
is on the ground not in the passing attack. However, the Irish do have
some playmakers at the WR and TE position and the Cardinal secondary
was torched last week almost giving up 500 passing yards. Overall, the
Stanford pass defense only ranks 113<sup>th</sup> in the nation. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','Arial';">While the Stanford pass defense has struggled this season, especially
last week, their run defense ranks 6<sup>th</sup> in the nation. They
will be facing the RB duo of Cierre Wood and George Atkinson III, who
each rushed for over 115 yards last week against Miami. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','Arial';">Stanford vs. Notre Dame Key Betting Trends </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','Arial';">Stanford is a solid 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games on the road
and in their last 7 games on the road the posted total has gone Under
5 times. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','Arial'; text-decoration: none;">Notre Dame is a solid 4-1 ATS this season,
but after a win of more than 20 points they have failed to cover the
spread in their last 4 games. In their last 4 games overall their po</span><span style="font-family: 'Arial','Arial';">sted total
has gone Under every time. </span></div>

Enjoy this one and dont forget to call 1-888-730-2667 for free Football picks. <br />
<br />
The hallowed halls of college football has had its fair share of influential as well as controversial coaches. But only a few are legendary, leaving their mark, long after their time has expired. <br />
<br />
Their names are whispered in circles of prominence and with respect and veneration. <br />
<br />
Some of these coaches are known for their offense, some for their defense and some for their discipline, but they’re all iconic figures at their respective programs. <br />
<br />
Every athletic director wants to hire the next legendary coach, and if they’re lucky, they’ll find someone who’ll achieve just a fraction of the success of the coaches listed below. <br />
<br />
Five coaches who have cemented their places in college football lore make our list, and plenty of worthy candidates were left off. It’s also not entirely a reflection based solely on wins and losses, but more as an tribute of their entire body of work. <br />
<br />
5. Barry Switzer , Oklahoma (1973-1988):157–29–4 --- Switzer is one of only two head coaches to win both a college football national championship and a Super Bowl. Frankly, it's hard to argue Switzer's success at Oklahoma. In just eight years patrolling the sidelines, he finished out his 16 season tenure with 12 Big Eight championships and three national championships while tallying up a .837 winning percentage, which is the fourth best of all-time. Switzer resurfaced in coaching in 1994 with the Dallas Cowboys wining Super Bowl XXX. <br />

4. Bobby Bowden, Samford/West Virginia/Florida State (1959-2009): 377-129-4 --- Love him, or hate him, Bobby Bowden is -- Florida State football. The Seminoles were a paltry 4-29 in the previous three seasons prior to his arrival, and in just his second year at the helm, went 10-2. However, his most impressive work came between 1987 to 2000, when the Noles' finished each season with 10 wins and a top-five ranking in the polls. Bowden won both of his national championships and coached two Heisman Trophy winners during that stretch while collecting 12 ACC championships, nine of which were won consecutively from 1992 to 2000. <br />
<br />
3. Glenn Scobey "Pop" Warner, Georgia/Cornell/Carlisle/Pitt/Stanford/Temple (1895-1938): 318-106-32 -- Perhaps the best early and most beloved college football coach, Warner was a pioneer and as well as an innovator. Best remembered for starting the Pop Warner Youth Football League in 1929, which today is still a national organized youth football program, he spent four decades as a coach in the early fledging days of football. Warner coached at six colleges during his term, but garnered the most success during his time at Stanford, where his teams won three Rose Bowl championships. Warner brought many innovations to college football, including the spiral punt, the screen play, single and double wing formations, the naked reverse, the three-point stance, numbering players jerseys and the use of shoulder and thigh pads. <br />
<br />
2. Paul W. "Bear" Bryant, Maryland/Kentucky/Texas A&M/Alabama (1945-1982): 323-85-17 --Nearly three decades after "The Bear's" passing, his spirit still lingers in the locker room, tunnels and along the sideline of Bryant-Denny Stadium. During his quarter of a century in Tuscaloosa, he compiled 232 wins, including six national championships and 13 SEC titles. A football lifer, Bryant coached such notable players such as Joe Namath, Ken Stabler, John Hannah and Ozzie Newsome, and died just four weeks after his final game as Bama’s head coach. <br />
<br />
1. Joe Paterno, Penn State (1966-2009): 394-129-3 -- A living legend, the 84-year old JoePa's career at Penn State spanned six decades. During that span he earned the title of the all-time winningest coach in Division I-A/FBS. No other coach has recorded more bowl appearances (36) and wins (24) than Paterno. He’s the only coach to have won in each of the Rose, Fiesta, Sugar, Orange, and Cotton Bowls. He has collect two national championships and five undefeated seasons along the way to becoming our pick for the number one spot on our list. </div>Cooopers Pickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08026586069869146860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8232552906043318098.post-57172374137571752182011-10-31T17:30:00.000-07:002011-10-31T17:30:00.397-07:00Week 8 College Football Picks Alabama LSU TigersWe have some huge NCAA football picks lined up this weekend.

They'll be challenged in the title race by some old standbys (Oklahoma, Alabama) as well as at least one superstar-powered dark horse (Stanford).</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">How does the rest of the Top 25 shake out?</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;"> </span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Let's take a look as we the 2011 College Football season is just around the corner. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;"> </span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">1. Auburn</span></b><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">— The defending National Champion will have their work cut out for them in 2011, and have lost a huge amount of starters. Fortunately for them, they have a young quarterback Barrett Trotter in the wings ready to start as a sophomore, and a great running back in Michael Dyer. The only question is, ‘how will they make up for Cam Newton’s 4,400 yards of offense and 50 touchdowns they lost when he went first overall in the NFL Draft?’</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">2. TCU</span></b><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">— The best defense in the nation is sure to have major setbacks this year, having lost their leader when defensive back Tejay Johnson graduated. They will most likely still be among the leaders in that side of the ball despite this, but the coaching staff has a lot of work to do on offense, filling holes left open when their stars moved on, including quarterback Andy Dalton.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">3. Oregon</span></b><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">— The offense that wowed its fans in 2010 will be back, there is no doubt. This is a system offense, and no matter who is carrying out the plays, the plays will still work. The Ducks will have a much tougher schedule this year, that includes an opener against LSU, but they will still be a contender for the Pac-12 title until the end.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">4. Stanford</span></b><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">— Perhaps the biggest surprise of the year is the Stanford Cardinal, and they will have their enormously talented quarterback Andrew Luck back for his senior year. Luck will also have the majority of his offense to back him up. Stanford has to be the favorite to win the Pac-12 behind the arm of Luck, who no doubt would have gone number one in April’s NFL Draft (Sorry Cam).</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">5. Ohio State</span></b><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">— It is crazy to think that just a few short months ago, many were talking BCS title when they mentioned the Buckeyes. Nowadays, it’ll be a miracle if Ohio State can turn their mess around and actually have a successful season. Terrelle Pryor is gone, and unproven senior quarterback Joe Bauserman will take the reins. And with the departure of their head coach, it looks to be a rough year for Thee Ohio State University.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">6. Oklahoma</span></b><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">— Everyone is jumping on the bandwagon of the Sooners, and there is good reason. The majority of their starters are coming back on both sides of the ball, and their quarterback, junior Landry Jones, is a beast of a man. Jones could carry any team, but fortunately for him, he has a damn good team behind him. The only questionable area on this squad is the rushing attack, but with their offensive line, and a passing attack are sure to take pressure off them, any running back should be able to be plugged in and succeed.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">7. Wisconsin</span></b><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">— Every year, Wisconsin gets a huge wave of BCS predictions, but it never seems to work out for the Badgers. This year doesn’t seem to be any different. They have a really good team, but it isn’t likely they will make it out of the Big Ten undefeated.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">8. LSU</span></b><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">— A very underrated team, LSU had a great season in 2010, and was a play or two from playing for the National Championship. This year, they will have a majority of their starters returning, and will look to be better in all aspects of the game once their season opener against Oregon is here.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">9. Boise State</span></b><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">— The Broncos are in a great position going into 2011. They will have their starting quarterback returning in Kellen Moore, and will have an easy schedule in their new home, the Mountain West Conference, with their only test coming late in the season against TCU.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">10. Alabama</span></b><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">— Nick Saban has done a spectacular job with the Crimson Tide since rejoining the college ranks, but will have a tough season ahead after losing his starting quarterback and running back to the NFL Draft. It’ll be tough for them to get though the SEC-West undefeated, but if they do, they will be title bound.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">10 Greatest College Football Teams of All Time</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">With the 2011 National Football League season in limbo, not all is lost as the 2011 college football season is right around the corner. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">That got us to thinking about the teams that have preformed up and beyond the norm, exceeding expectations and sometimes defying the "<a href="http://www.cooperspick.com/odds.asp?league=ncaaf">College Football odds</a>". </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">There have been many "perfect" teams; that is, teams that went undefeated and untied en route to a National Championship. But the stars were never aligned for any team quite like these 10.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">So, without delay, here is out list of the 10 Greatest College Football teams to have etched their places in the annals of Division I football history.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">10. Oklahoma (1956)</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">So just how good was Oklahoma in ’56? Good enough to hand rival Texas its worst loss (45-0) since 1908, pounding Notre Dame 40-0 in South Bend, and beating up on the entire Big Seven by an average score of 49–8, middling about 47 points a game. Coach Bud Wilkinson’s squad went 10-0 that season, extending its winning streak to an all-time record 40 games over four seasons and bolstering Wilkinson’s record to 94–8–3, with a winning percentage of .910, and three national championships. The players were pretty good, too. Clendon Thomas led the nation in scoring with 18 touchdowns, while halfback Tommy McDonald and center Jerry Tubbs placed third and fourth in the Heisman Trophy voting.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">9. Miami (2001)</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">All American running back Clinton Portis who racked up 1,200 yards on the ground, helped lead the Hurricanes to a 12-0 season and a national championship in ‘01. Of course, there were a few more names you may have heard of-- QB Ken Dorsey, offensive tackle Bryant "Mount" McKinnie, a wide receiver named Jeremy Shockey, cornerbacks Phillip Buchanon and Mike Rumph, and safety Edward Reed--all first-round selections in the 2002 NFL draft. The Canes scored 512 (42.6 points per game) points while surrendering only 117 (9.75 points allowed per game), and beat opponents by an average of 32.9 points per game--the largest margin in the school's history. They also set the NCAA record for largest margin of victory over consecutive ranked teams (124-7). Offense, defense, and special teams, this team had it all.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">8. Oklahoma (1974)</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">After finishing the previous three seasons at either No.2 or No.3, Oklahoma broke through in 1974 to win its first national title in 18 years under legendary coach Barry Switzer. Oklahoma steamrolled its opponents that season, averaging 508 yards in total offense as halfback Joe Washington, the AP and UPI Offensive Player of the Year, led the ground-based assault with an average of 74 rushes a game, the most in Oklahoma history. Twice the Sooners won games by scores of 63-0, and 72-3 as an All American cast of defenders throttled the opposition’s offense. Defensive end Lee Roy Selmon (the NFL's No. 1 pick in 1976), Dewey Selmon (an All-American nose guard), and linebacker Rod Shoate (AP and UPI Defensive Player of the Year) where a force to be reckoned with, allowing just a single opponent to within 14 points the entire regular season.<span style="color: black;"></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">7. Nebraska (1995)</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">All Nebraska did was win despite its off field personnel problems. Every week, for that matter, on its way to a second straight national championship. They averaged 52 points per game and beat their opponents by an average of 39 in that fall of ’95. It was the byproduct of a potent offense and a suffocating defense. Ahman Green and Lawrence Phillips, who ripped off tons of real estate against every opponent they faced, fueled the rushing attack. With the new bowl alliance in place that season, the Fiesta Bowl became the venue for a true national championship game --No. 1 Nebraska and No. 2 Florida-two teams with contrasting styles. By the half, the Huskers were well on their way to a 62-24 victory, one of the most one-sided national championship games in history. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">6. Alabama (1961)</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">It was the year that Bear Bryant started on his journey to become an Alabama institution. Bryant had already proven himself 11 years earlier when he moved his Kentucky Wildcats-who were 2-8 just one season before --as far up the AP polls as No. 7, and then in 1956 helped a struggling Texas A&M football program, land at number five. So, it was no surprise that in ’61, he would lead his Crimson Tide to No. 1. Again, Bryant shaped a championship caliber team out of a squad that had completed the 1960 season, 2-7-1. The Tide went 11-0 that season, winning the Sugar Bowl, and their first national title while racking up 297 points and allowing only 25 under Bryant’ s leadership. Alabama went on to win five more national titles with Bear on the sidelines.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">5. USC (1972)</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">After Nebraska’s hopes for a third national championship, as well as its 32-game unbeaten streak were crushed in a 20-17 road loss to UCLA to start the ’72 season. The Trojans would drive the final nail in the coffin by completing the regular season as the only unbeaten team (12-0), blowing out Notre Dame at the Coliseum (45–23) and Ohio State out of the Rose Bowl (42–17), earning them the No. 1 spot on the final AP poll. Tailback Anthony Davis scored six touchdowns against the Irish, while fullback Sam Cunningham scored four times against the Buckeyes. Only Stanford came within 10 points of USC that season, and that margin was nine.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><b><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">4. Michigan (1947)</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Although the two teams never met on the gridiron, the Wolverines were Notre Dame’s fiercest rival for the ’47 national title, trading the No.1 ranking back and forth three times. Michigan outscored their opponents 394-53 en route to an undefeated 10-0 season in 1947. The “Mad Magicians”, led by tailback Bob Chappius, wingback Chalmers "Bump" Elliott, QB Howard Yerges and fullback Jack Weisenburger, employed a razzle-dazzle offense that wore out spectators and drove defenses crazy. Often having the ball change hands three or four times on a single play. While Notre Dame (see below) were named No. 1 by the AP at the end of the regular season, Michigan’s 49-0 pounding of USC in the Rose Bowl, spawned an unofficial postseason AP poll that ranked the Wolverines No. 1.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">3. Notre Dame (1947)</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">It was a good year for the Irish as they finished their undefeated season by trouncing USC 38-7 in front of 105,000 fans in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum en route to a No. 1 AP Poll ranking, a disputed national title, and a Heisman Trophy recipient. They were led <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>by three of the best players in college football; Leon Hart, George Connor and QB Johnny Lujack, who were supported by a cast of 41 players who went on to play pro ball. Lujack, who quarterbacked the Irish to three national titles, won the '47 Heisman trophy, outpointing Wolverine half back Bob Chappuis. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">2. Nebraska (1971)</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Considered by many to be the best edition of Nebraska football and possibly the best college football team ever, the ’71 Huskers became the only team since 1936 to repeat as national champions. Just a year prior, the Huskers were lucky to claim their first title after the two teams ranked above them lost their bowl games. But in ‘71, led by special teams pundit Johnny Rodgers who won the 1972 Heisman, the team averaged more than 39 points a game on offense, and brought out its No. 1 defense that surrendered only 8.2 points a game. With the Big Eight title at stake, Nebraska rallied to beat No. 2 Oklahoma 35–31, in what some have called the "Game of the Century." Then in the Orange Bowl, the Huskers extended their three-year unbeaten string to 32, beating Alabama on New Year's Day.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">1. Army (1945)</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">After winning World War II, the Black Knights topped off a glorious year by completing the season with a perfect 9-0 record. The stars of the show were the duo of fullback Felix "Doc" Blanchard and tailback Glenn Davis. Blanchard, who ran for 718 yards and 19 TDs, won the Heisman in '45; Davis won it in '46. Each time the Cadets ran the ball, they gained at least eight yards. The season began with a 48-0 pounding of No. 2 Notre Dame at Yankee Stadium and then was culminated before 102,000 fans, as the Black Knights beat rival Navy in their annual Philadelphia classic 32-13, a game that decided the national title.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Honorable Mention:</span></b><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"> Florida (1996), Florida State (1999), Texas (1969), and Ohio State (1968).</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">There you have it, a tribute to the 10 greatest college football teams who were just a notch above the rest. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div>The 2011 NFL draft was a memorable one. Just in case you missed it, here are the top ten highlights from the weekend.<br />
<br />
1. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell was nearly booed off stage. <br />
<br />
Fans chanting “we want football, we want football” voiced their displeasure over the ongoing labor dispute. I don’t think Goodell took the New York fans too seriously: Philly fans are notorious for booing Santa Claus but I’m confident New York fans would boo their own mothers if they got up on stage.<br />
<br />
2. Christian Ponder goes #12 overall to the Minnesota Vikings.<br />
<br />
Hands down the most controversial pick of the draft. Ponder was rated as second to third round prospect on a lot of boards, yet the Vikings tab him as the successor to Favre? The Vikes refused to back down afterwards, with new head coach Leslie Frazier tabbing him as the week one starter already. I’ve heard the echoes of Tavaris Jackson cussing after the announcement could be heard all the way up in South Dakota.<br />
<br />
3. The New England Patriots look smarter than everyone else. Again.<br />
I know, I know. You’re sick of hearing about how great the Patriots are. We all are, but it would irresponsible not to report on how the Pats continue their mastery of the league by trading down and refusing to restrain their cap flexibility with overpaid, unproven high draft picks. The Pats needed a pass rusher but refused to compromise their philosophy and trade up in the first round. Their late first-round selection of OT Nate Solder left a lot of Pats fans scratching their heads but this is the same franchise that has managed to draft Jerod Mayo, Patrick Chung, Devin McCourty, and Rob Gronkowski with there past four 1st/2nd round selections. Not a bad track record. More on the Pats later.<br />
<br />
4. The Detroit Lions went retro. Retro Matt Millen.<br />
No one can knock Lions GM Martin Mayhew for drafting DT Nick Fairley with the #13 overall pick. It’s what he did afterwards (WR Titus Yong at #44, trading up for RB Mikel LeShoure at #57) that reminds us of Millen. Millen always went for the sexy big name picks rather than addressing his team needs. The Lions have finished in the bottom four in pass defense in the league for the past four years and badly need a talent upgrade at CB. The Lions reverted to their failed draft strategy of pleasing fans by selecting well known position players instead of lesser known names at positions of greater need. It’s kind of like a unemployed single father of four who goes out and buys a Corvette instead of groceries for his kids – just doesn’t make sense.<br />
<br />
5. The Ravens-Bears botched trade exposed an intriguing draft loophole.<br />
Both the Ravens and Bears were understandably embarrassed after a botched trade attempt between the teams forced the league to allow the Kansas City Chiefs to jump the line and take the Ravens 26th selection while they figured out how to operate a telephone. The embarrassment continued when the player the Bears were trying to trade up for, OT Gabe Carmini, ended up still being available for Chicago to draft three picks later anyways. Kind of makes you wonder: why not pretend you “botched” a trade when you’re stuck with a high draft pick but don’t think there’s anyone worth drafting for the money you’re going to have to pay them? Just keep pretending you forgot to pick up the phone till your knocked down to a pick where you think you can get actual value. Just an idea.<br />
<br />
6. Mark Ingram’s candid reaction to hearing from his jailed father was the feel good moment of the draft.<br />
Yes, it was obviously set up by ESPN to get an emotional response. But it was a genuine moment and it worked. We’re so accustomed to feeling alienated from pro athletes because of all the money, glitz and glamour involved that it’s nice to have moments where you realize they are more than just people who can bench press you with one hand.<br />
<br />
7. Ryan Mallett goes #74 overall to the Patriots. <br />
A lot of once highly regarded players plummeted in the draft (Marcell Dareus, Greg Jones). Mallett, once regarded as the #1 overall prospect in the draft, fell the hardest. <br />
<br />
“Things just aren’t right with him,’’ one NFL executive said. “Has the drugs and alcohol stuff. He can be a hothead. Carries himself like the 6-7 Eminem. He’s just a different dude. Maybe they can keep him in check. They can take that risk. We can’t.’’<br />
<br />
Apparently, Patriots head coach Bill Belicheck was willing to roll the dice on Eminem’s 6’7 protégé. Mallett easily has the biggest arm in the draft and put up big numbers in the SEC, a conference widely known for being stacked with NFL worthy defensive talent. It’s a good situation for a Mallett because he’ll have the opportunity to study in the wings for a franchise that won’t allow him to indulge in any Ryan Leaf type antics. Score one for the Pats for nabbing a potential successor to Brady without having to pay for it.<br />
<br />
8. Hype is still the deciding factor for where QBs get drafted<br />
<br />
Prior to the BCS Championship game, Cam Newton was at best a late first round draft pick on most boards. Can one game (a game in which Newton was far from dazzling) really make that much of a difference? Yep, because it’s all about the hype machine – we’ve seen this before when Ohio State QB Troy Smith went from being a first round lock to being drafted in the sixth following a dreadful performance in the 2007 BCS Championship game. One game should never overshadow your entire body of work as a player but this year’s draft once again proves that it can so if you’re a high profile quarterback you better make the most of it.<br />
<br />
9. The only selection New York fans cheer is Prince Amukamara at #19<br />
No, it’s not cause the Giants drafted him. It’s because ninety minutes into the draft, Neanderthal New Yorkers were finally liquored up enough to cheer for someone -- mostly because he had a cool sounding name.<br />
<br />
10. This one’s for the ladies: best dressed goes to Atlanta Wide Receiver Julio Jones for wearing a silver bowtie.<br />
The NFL draft is traditionally an appropriate venue to establish new fashion faux paus. Jones’ grey and white striped suit coupled with a ‘bama red button up shirt underneath was fitting considering the fact he got to don the Falcons’ red cap to top it off. How come none of the beefy linemen ever wear bowties? OK, this Iist is officially over.<br />

That is why the Horned Frogs will be playing in the Big East, yeah<br />that makes sense being from Texas, starting in 2012. Still, they are in the BCS<br />Rose Bowl and their D, which is ranked #1 in the nation will face a stiff test<br />against a Wisconsin offense that scored at least 70 points in 3 games.<br /><br />Speaking of dropping 70 points the Badgers did just that in their season finale<br />beating Northwestern 70-23<br /><br />Wisconsin and TCU were both 6-5 ATS in the season and while the Horned<br />Frogs have dominated the Mountain West Conference the past few seasons<br />they are only 6-9 ATS in their last 15 games against teams that have a winning<br />record. On top of that they have failed to cover the spread in the last 2 bowl<br />games they have played.<br /><br />TCU and their top-ranked defense have one goal in this game and that is to<br />contain the Badgers and their 12th ranked rushing offense. Wisconsin features<br />James White (1,061 yards 14 TD), John Clay (936 yards 13 TD) and Montee<br />Ball (864 yards 17 TD), who can all rack up the yards on the ground. One of the<br />main reasons the Badgers are so good running the ball is that they have a HUGE<br />offensive line that has 6 players that made the All Big 10 team. TCU and their 3rd<br />ranked run D has a tough task in their game and they will have to deal with the<br />size of the mammoth Badgers’ offensive line.<br /><br />Wisconsin does not have a great aerial attack, ranking 74th in the nation in pass<br />offense, but QB Scott Tolzien (2,300 yards 16 TD 6 INT) led the nation with a<br />74.3% completion percentage. Still, don’t look for him to have a big game against<br />TCU and their #1 ranked passing defense.<br /><br />The Horned Frogs offense had the 3rd highest scoring team in the nation<br />averaging 43.3 points per game. They rank 8th in the nation in rushing offense<br />and 53rd in passing offense and their big gun is RB Ed Wesley (1,065 yards 11<br />TD). Wesley is not the only guy who can move the chains on the ground, as he<br />is joined in the backfield by RB Matthew Tucker (694 yards 7 TD). Wisconsin and<br />their 30th ranked run defense really has to worry about Wesley, who averaged<br />6.6 yards per carry on the season.<br /><br />TCU can also air it out with QB Andy Dalton (2,638 yards 26 TD), who only threw<br />one INT in his last 4 games and he will be facing a Wisconsin pass defense that<br />ranks 25th in the nation. Even though he has a legit WR corps if the Badgers can<br />contain Wesley and force Dalton to beat them they have an advantage.<br /><br />Pick: Wisconsin has only covered the spread one time in their last 4 non-<br />conference games and after this game it will be 5. TCU will show they should<br />have been mentioned in BCS title consideration by winning this game with their<br />defense and covering the spread.Cooopers Pickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08026586069869146860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8232552906043318098.post-12435678783673876942010-12-04T13:48:00.000-08:002010-12-04T13:49:43.836-08:00Hawaii vs UNLV, 34, 65.5<style>@font-face { font-family: "Cambria"; }p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal { margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"; }div.Section1 { page: Section1; }</style> <p class="MsoNormal">Late Saturday night, the Runnin’ Rebels travel to Hawaii to face the 25th ranked team in the nation. UNLV is 2-10 on the season, while Hawaii is 9-3, but the key statistic to know, is that Hawaii is 10-2 ATS this season, which is by far the best ATS record in the nation. Hawaii has covered their last 6 spreads and 3 of those 6 spreads were 28 points or higher, while on the other side of the ball, UNLV is 0-6 on the road this season and has lost their last 5 games against the spread [and they were underdogs in those games by 24, 19 and 27 points]. When these two teams face off late Saturday night, only one team will be on top of their game. </p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p> <p class="MsoNormal">UNLV is absolutely decimated for this match up with 9 players listed as doubtful and with the Runnin’ Rebels not even playing their upper classman in this game because of the head coach not happy with their performance and wanting to go with youthful talent. UNLV defeated Hawaii last year in Las Vegas by a point, and my analysis shows that Hawaii will be a extremely motivated team at home on this given night. Hawaii will be saying goodbye to 30 seniors in this game and will put a beating on a UNLV team that will already be on vacation by the time this game kicks off. Hawaii has scored 20 more points and given up 16 fewer points per game than UNLV and all of these different numbers will show its head very early in this game. UNLV is 3-13 ATS against the WAC in their last 16 games, while Hawaii 6-0 ATS in their last 6 home games. Take a play on the Rainbow Warriors here to lay a thrashing on the Runnin’ Rebels. </p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8232552906043318098.post-13644139915874628862010-11-26T18:03:00.000-08:002010-11-26T18:05:58.611-08:00Indiana at Purdue: Battle For The Old Oaken Bucket<style>@font-face { font-family: "Cambria"; }p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal { margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"; }div.Section1 { page: Section1; }</style> <p class="MsoNormal">The Indiana Hoosiers will travel to West Lafayette to face the Purdue Boilermakers for the right to hoist the Old Oaken Bucket. Both teams go into this battle 4-7 and ineligible for any type of bowl action; but to be honest, I think this stipulation makes it a better game. Whether it is the students of the schools or the players on the teams, there is a certain hatred within these two teams that cannot be expressed unless you watch one of the battles for yourself. These two teams could not be more similar; both are 3-3 at home and have each recorded only one road win this season. The trend I like in this game has to be the over because of a few different reasons: Over is 8-3 in Indiana’s last 11 road games and Purdue’s over is 6-1 in their last 7 games as a home favorite of less than a field goal. </p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Historically, this battle for the Oaken Bucket has been extremely entertaining, but for Indiana, the Hoosiers are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 trips to Purdue and have had serious trouble notching wins in the Big 10 in the last two years with only two wins. Purdue has outscored Indiana by 69 total points in their last two meetings and Indiana has only won the Oaken Bucket twice in their last 10 meetings, but this season Purdue is not the usual offensive marvel that put up 62 points against Indiana two years ago. Purdue has only beaten Minnesota and a good Northwestern team this year for two Big 10 wins and was a few seconds away from grasping a huge upset at the hands of Michigan State. Both teams have lost 5 games in a row and something must give when the Indiana Hoosiers travel to Purdue on Saturday for a chance to “steal” the bucket away from the Boilermakers.<br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal">For more winning <a href="http://www.cooperspick.com/">NFL picks</a> and <a href="http://www.cooperspick.com/odds.asp?league=nfl">live football odds</a> check out the rest of Coopers pick today or call 1-888-730-COOP </p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8232552906043318098.post-51622817142099611562010-11-23T15:12:00.001-08:002010-11-23T15:12:55.604-08:00Temple at Miami of OhioTemple at Miami of Ohio<br />Tuesday, 7:00 pm Eastern – ESPN 2<br /><br />Temple will be looking to put last week’s loss to Ohio behind them as they visit Miami of Ohio on Tuesday night. The Owls will not be winning the MAC this college football betting season but they can still get to ten wins on the season if they win this contest and their bowl game. They will be facing a Miami of Ohio team that should also be headed to a bowl game. Miami comes into this contest with seven wins on the season including their last three.<br /><br />Temple is a 6.5 point favorite at<a href="http://www.cooperspick.com/sportsbooks.asp"> Online Sportsbook </a>SBG Global.<br /><br />Temple seems to have put the loss to Ohio behind them as they have practiced well leading up to this game. Quarterback Mike Gerardi said the team is positive going into Tuesday’s game. Temple is looking to finish with 10 wins for the first time in 30 years so they are very focused on winning against Miami to get to nine wins. Temple could be without running back Bernard Pierce and linebacker Elijah Joseph as both players were injured in last week’s loss to Ohio.<br /><br />Miami still has a shot to win the MAC East but they not only need to beat Temple, they need Ohio to lose to Kent State. It could be that neither of those things happens. Ohio is almost certainly going to defeat Kent and Miami could be in trouble in this college football betting game against Temple. The RedHawks are without starting quarterback Zac Dysert and they are simply not the same without him. They won against Akron with backup Austin Boucher but there was a definite difference. If Miami is to keep this game close they will have to play defense and run the ball. That won’t be easy against Temple who has the 14th best defense in the country.<br /><br />Here are the football betting stats for Tuesday’s game. The Owls are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games as a road favorite. The Owls are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games following a game in which they did not cover the spread. The RedHawks are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games in November.<br /><br />The Over is 5-1 in the Owls last 6 games in November. The Under is 4-1 in the Owls last 5 road games. The Under is 7-3 in the Owls last 10 games overall. The Under is 6-0 in the RedHawks last 6 games overall. The Under is 5-2 in the RedHawks last 7 home games.Cooopers Pickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08026586069869146860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8232552906043318098.post-38253220790706939132010-11-12T15:30:00.001-08:002010-11-12T15:30:39.236-08:00College Football Weekend Picks<p>Courtesy of locknLoad<br /></p><p>After 3 weeks in a row finishing in the positive, I had a dreadful day saturday which carried over on sunday losing 3 games in the 4th quarter/overtime (<strong>Buffalo, KC, and Phily</strong>).

Central Florida has started well this college football betting season at 3-2 and 1-0 in the conference while Marshall has struggled, going 1-4 and 0-1 in the conference.<br /><br />Central Florida is a 5.5 -point favorite with a total of 44 at SBG Global.<br /><br />It has not been a good NCAA football betting season for Marshall under first-year coach Doc Holliday. It may not get any better on Wednesday with Central Florida coming to town. UCF has won the last five meetings against Marshall. They are favored to win again on Wednesday in large part because they have a duel threat quarterback in Jeff Godfrey. Central Florida head coach George O’Leary is comparing his freshman to Michael Vick and Pat White. Godfrey leads Central Florida in rushing with 583 yards. He has also thrown for 531 yards. <br /><br />Marshall has done very little this season on offense or on defense. They are 102 in the country in points scored and even worse on defense as they rank 108th in points allowed. Despite those rotten numbers, the Thundering Herd are getting some action from bettors as this line has dropped from 6.5 down to 5.<br /><br />Here are the football betting stats for Wednesday’s game. The Knights are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 conference games. The Knights are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 road games. The Knights are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a favorite. The Knights are 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 games in October. The Knights are 4-9-1 ATS in their last 14 games as a road favorite. The Knights are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 meetings at Marshall. <br /><br />The Thundering Herd are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 Wednesday games. The Thundering Herd are 12-4 ATS in their last 16 games as a home underdog. <br />The Thundering Herd are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The Thundering Herd are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 conference games.<br /><br />The Over is 4-0 in the Knights last 4 conference games. The Under is 5-2-2 in the Knights last 9 games in October. The Under is 8-1 in Marshall’s last 9 games in October. The Over is 4-1 in Marshall’s last 5 games overall. The Under is 6-2 in Marshall’s last 8 home games. The Under is 6-2 in the last 8 meetings between the two teams.Cooopers Pickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08026586069869146860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8232552906043318098.post-60209572466564753522010-10-09T09:22:00.000-07:002010-10-09T09:24:36.988-07:00Free Pick ASU vs Washington PAC-10GAME: Arizona St. @ Washington Oct 9, 2010 10:00PM<br />SPORT: College Football Picks<br />PICK: Washington<br />Offered at: -2.5 <a href="http://www.cooperspick.com/odds.asp">live odds</a><br /><br />REASON FOR PICK: #64 Take Washington Huskies over Arizona State Sun Devils (Saturday 10 pm FSN) The Sun Devils must make another trip to the Pacific Northwest in consecutive weeks and this will eventually catch up with them. Washington is coming off a big win over USC and I fully expect them to carry that momentum into this Saturday when they return home. This will be ASU’s third long road trip in four weeks, as they have went to Madison, WI, Corvallis, OR, and now must fly to Seattle, WA. Coach Dennis Erickson is on the hot seat and two heartbreaking losses will eventually sink this team. Washington still has QB Jake Locker and he will lead his team to a victory. The Sun Devils are 1-4 (1 push) ATS in their last six road games. The Huskies are 5-2 ATS in their last seven home games.

Green and the<br />Bulldogs?<br /><br />When I first saw this game on the slate, I was extremely surprised by the spread<br />for a couple of reasons. When you see a double-digit favorite in the SEC, you really<br />start to question where Vegas even comes up with some of these spreads. With<br />Tennessee losing to LSU, in Death Valley, by only two points, makes the average<br />sports bettor salivate at the opportunity to get Tennessee with the points in a 1-<br />4 team in Georgia; but I really think people are missing the reasoning behind the<br />spread and not simply the spread itself.<br /><br />On the field we have Matt Simms and Aaron Murray facing off in a must win game<br />for both teams. Tennessee and Georgia go into this game both 0-2 in the conference,<br />and if they want any type of hopes in a bowl game, this Saturday is their last shot;<br />going 0-3 in conference is pretty close to digging your own grave. Georgia is 0-4 SU<br />and ATS since putting a romping on Louisiana-Lafayette a month ago, and just has<br />not been able to find the right plays late in the game to put them in a position to win.<br />On Saturday, Georgia couldn’t ask for a better chance to get off the schnide, when<br />they host Tennessee, who is coming off one of the most embarrassing SEC losses<br />since the LSU hail mary in 2006 to beat Kentucky [link].<br /><br />This will be a week of desperate calls by both head coaches and I think in the<br />end Georgia will prevail, but to say I am happy about laying over 10 points in<br />a SEC showdown between two teams who have yet to win an SEC game is an<br />understatement. Take the Bulldogs to beat the Vols, but be wary of the points.<br /><br />For the most up to date <a href="http://www.cooperspick.com/odds.asp?league=ncaaf">college football lines</a> and tons more check out the rest of coopers pick.Cooopers Pickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08026586069869146860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8232552906043318098.post-7749259341696947022010-09-30T16:35:00.000-07:002010-09-30T16:36:19.111-07:00Texas AM vs OSUTexas A&M at Oklahoma State<br /><br />Provided by <a href="http://www.cooperspick.com/fullarticle.asp?309-Online-Sportsbook-review-SBGGLOBAL.COM">SBG Global</a><br /><br />ESPN Thursday Night football betting will get the college football weekend rolling in exciting fashion as Oklahoma State will host Texas A&M. Be sure to check SBG Global.com for the side and total lines on this Big 12 South Division showdown. Kickoff Thursday night is at 7:50 PM Eastern Time.<br /><br />Both the Texas A&M Aggies and the Oklahoma State Cowboys are entering this matchup undefeated at 3-0 straight up. They are both highly explosive offensive teams that figure to be the top challengers at upsetting either Oklahoma or Texas for the top spot in the Big 12 South. Both teams took last week off in preparation for this one.<br /><br />Texas A&M has covered the spread in 2 out of 3 games this year with 2 of their college football betting games going over the total. In Mike Sherman’s third year as head coach the program is finally taking shape in his image. The offense ranks 9th in the nation and features exceptional balance. Quarterback Jerrod Johnson has completed 59% of his passes for a 7.9 yards per attempt average with a 7/4 touchdown/interception ratio. He has two top targets in Jeff Fuller and Ryan Swope. Fuller has 18 catches for 280 yards good for a 15.6 yards per catch average and 3 touchdowns. Swope has 21 catches for 202 yards and a 9.6 yards per catch average. The running back tandem of Christine Michael and Cyrus Gray makes the Aggies a complete offensive team. Michael has gained 331 yards and has a 5.8 yards per carry average with 3 touchdowns while Gray has 188 yards and a 4.9 yards per carry average with 2 touchdowns. The defense has shown marked improvement from last year and ranks 10th in the country.<br /><br />Oklahoma State’s high octane passing attack is rolling right along despite the departure of former star quarterback Zach Robinson. The Cowboys have the top ranked offense in all of college football betting as quarterback Brandon Weeden is completing 73% of his passes for 9.7 yards per attempt and an 11/2 touchdown/interception ratio. Justin Blackmon is the top receiver with 24 catches and 431 yards with an 18.0 yards per catch average and 8 touchdowns. Running back Kendall Hunter provides balance with 473 yards and a super 7.9 yards per carry average with 6 touchdowns. The defense ranks 79th however and will need to tighten up significantly in this one.Cooopers Pickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08026586069869146860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8232552906043318098.post-55368662194821384712010-09-16T18:33:00.001-07:002010-09-16T18:33:59.197-07:00College Football Betting PicksCincinnati at North Carolina State <br />Thursday, 7:45 pm Eastern - ESPN<br /><br />Cincinnati and North Carolina State get the ESPN spotlight on Thursday night and it will be their first-ever meeting. The Bearcats come into this game at 1-1 while the Wolfpack are 2-0. North Carolina State is 2-0 for the first time since 2002 but wins over Central Florida and Western Carolina don’t tell us too much.<br /><br />NC State is a 2-point favorite with a total of 54.5 at <a href="http://www.cooperspick.com/sportsbooks.asp">SBG Global</a>.<br /><br />This is not the same Cincinnati team that was a Big East power. Brian Kelly is in Notre Dame and the Bearcats are just not the same. They lost their opener at Fresno but came back last week to rout Indiana State. Quarterback Zach Collaros had two touchdowns last week through the air and also rushed for one. Darrin Williams had 117 yards on 13 carries.<br /><br />North Carolina State may be 2-0 but they had only 239 total yards against UCF last week. QB Russell Wilson was awful and the Wolfpack was fortunate to win at all. The defense won the game last week as they forced Central Florida into five turnovers.<br /><br />Here are the betting stats for Thursday’s game. The Bearcats are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 Thursday games. The Bearcats are 2-5 ATS vs. a team with a winning record. The Bearcats are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 non-conference games. The Bearcats are 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games overall.<br /><br />The Wolfpack are 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 games in September. The Wolfpack are 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 home games. The Wolfpack are 2-5-1 ATS in their last 8 vs. the Big East. <br /><br />The Under is 8-1 in the Bearcats last 9 Thursday games. The Over is 4-1 in the Bearcats last 5 games overall. The Under is 5-2 in the Bearcats last 7 non-conference games. The Over is 15-7-1 in the Bearcats last 23 road college football betting games. The Over is 11-2 in the Wolfpack’s last 13 games overall. The Over is 18-7-1 in the Wolfpack’s last 26 home games. The Under is 10-4-2 in the Wolfpack’s last 16 non-conference games.Cooopers Pickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08026586069869146860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8232552906043318098.post-33605878864111323392010-09-07T15:16:00.000-07:002010-09-07T15:18:57.365-07:00College Football RankingsThe College Football rankings are out after the 1st week of play and both the AP and USA Today poll have the Crimson Tide at the top spot.
