Nebraska -21 over Arkansas St.

This line should be around -28. Nebraska is coming off beating the 2nd best team in the Sun Belt Conference in Florida Atlantic 49-3. They looked good in all phases of the game especially offensively. When a team is rolling offensively in the beginning of the year watch out. Coach Bo Pelini knows he has to blow these non BCS school’s out in order to move up in the polls and have a chance at knocking off someone in the Big 12 Championship game. Arkansas St is an inferior team to Florida Atlantic and most ‘cappers picked Arkansas St to finish lower than Florida Atlantic in the Sun Belt. This game is so low because Arkansas St went into Texas AM last year and beat them. First Texas AM was one of the worst teams in the country last year. Second Bo Pelini is not going to allow this team to sneak up on anyone. How many times do you think Nebraska players have watched the game film from that game? Nebraska rolls by at least 28.

Oklahoma St -15 over Houston

Oklahoma St is coming off a great game against Georgia where they saw one of the nation’s fastest and top defenses. This will be a huge drop off going up against the much maligned defense of the Houston Cougars. Last year in this match up Houston gave up 699 yds and 56 points! This game is going to be played on turf which makes Oklahoma St.’s playmakers that much faster. Also Oklahoma St has been handed a golden ticket in the Big 12 with Sam Bradford’s injury. This team could be your Big 12 champions and they know it.

Carolina +2 ½ over Philadelphia

Sorry Eagles fans. I have never seen an Eagles team with so many question marks heading into a season. Sure this team can be good come the end of the season but right now they are in disarray. Carolina’s Defensive line is one of the best in the league and will be coming after McNabb all day. Philadelphia’s starting offensive line hasn’t taken a snap together once this preseason and never in their lives. Julius Peppers might be matched up against Winston Justice and that could spell trouble. Maurice Jones Drew will have a big day against Philadelphia’s depleted linebacking core. Carolina outright at home.

Green Bay Packers -3 ½ over Chicago

Buy the ½ point to 3. Never get beat by the hook!!!! Green Bay is coming off a good season, so they should be the talk of the NFC North, right? Wrong, all the talk has surrounded the Chicago Bears and the Minnesota Vikings. Green Bay has been forgotten and this line reflects that. The Chicago Bears vaunted defense is an absolute fraud! Last year Aaron Rodgers torched this team and Ryan Grant torched them on the ground. I understand now Chicago has a quarterback, and he is a good one, but that doesn’t solve their defensive problems or the offensive playmaker problems. Green Bay by double digits.
