Week 3 College Football Plays

Alright here we go. Should be an awesome weekend for college football watching. Let's hope its also a good weekend for a little college football wagering.

My plays this week:

1) Miami @ Louisville UNDER 52.5 ($20)
2) Boise St. (-7.5) @ Wyoming ($20)
3) Clemson @ Florida St. UNDER 44.5 ($20)
4) Colorado St. @ Nevada (-2.5) ($20)

Miami/Louisville: I think Miami has enough speed on defense to slow down Louisville's offense. Louisville has one of the best attacks in the nation but they haven't faced anybody with a real defense yet and the loss of Bush should be more apparent in this game. Miami is not a good offensive team by any stretch of the imagination. Plus, Miami has a starting O-Lineman out with injury (and may be starting a freshman) which should hold down the Hurricane offense.
In short, take the Under.

Boise St./Wyoming: Boise St. dominated the line of scrimmage against Oregon St. at home. Wyoming played a tough 1 pt loss game last week at Virginia and could come out flat this week as a result. Wyoming actually has a pretty good home field advantage since their stadium is at an altitude, but Boise has had a week and a half to prepare and I'm no geography expert, but I think Boise is at least slightly elevated. Take the guys who play on the freaky blue field.

Clemson/FSU: Florida St. almost lost to Troy last week. They are HIGHLY overrated, and do not belong in the top 10. Their running game was atrocious against Miami in Week 1 and failed to improve much against Troy, a team they should have dominated. Clemson (like Wyoming) played a heartbreaker last week as they lost in OT to BC by 1 pt. FSU's defense is still legit and should hold Clemson offense in check. Take the Under in this Bowden Bowl.

Colorado St./Nevada: Nevada looked pretty good to me despite losing their opening game at Fresno St. They followed that up by losing to Arizona St. last week and basically got torched through the air, giving up 5 td passes. Colorado St. is nowhere near as good as either of Nevada's previous opponents and I think Nevada gets its season back on track this weekend. Colorado St. is coming off a win against their instate rival Colorado (the Buffaloes are terrible this year) and the team has had some scandals recently. I think a distracted Colorado St. loses this week at Nevada. Take the Wolfpack to the bank.
