Coming off of a winning weekend, I am up 7.9 units for the year in college football. Hopefully another winning day tomorrow. As always, good luck to everyone else as well. I do not see as many games on the board this weekend as I did last weekend, partially because this is the first "real" weekend of conference games.
South Florida +18 4 units
UAB +20 1 unit
Arkansas +16 2 units
Stanford -9.5 1 unit
Miami/South Florida under 48 1 unit
Central Michigan/NC State under 52.5 5 units
LSU/Georgia over 62 4 units
Wake Forest/Clemson under 59 3 units
South Carolina/Central FLorida
This is a dangerous game for South Carolina. A good, although lesser known team on the road that feels like they have an opportunity to be noticed on the National stage with a win here. The biggest question that I have--Have the South Carolina coaches been able to tweak the defensive scheme, during the two weeks since we last played, enough to allow our talented D Line mask the youth in our LB corp? We have talented linebackers, but they are still very young. Every team that we have played against has game planned around Clowney and been able to move the ball by running away from him (although Clowney's stats are just about exactly what they were this time last year. Superman could not have lived up to the expectations that were set for him this year by the media). If the other end of our D-Line can begin to make some plays, then it will not be as easy to take Clowney out of the game.
At first glance, I would say that the 6/12-7 point line is right in line with where it should be, and forced to make a selection I would choose UCF. Also at first glance, the 53 point total does not look high enough to me. I just don't know what kind of adjustments South Carolina has made in the off week (Central Florida was off last week as well). So based off what I have seen so far, here are my leans with a confidence level of 1-10.
Central Florida +7--Based off what i have seen so far, I would be more surprised if we beat this team by 20 than I would if we lost the game. Confidence level 1.
Over 53--Our offense should be hard to stop, and our defense hasn't exactly looked like world beaters this year. The only thing that is keeping me from making this a play is the bye week that both teams are coming off of. Confidence level--4
Final score prediction--
South Carolina 35
Central Florida 31
Good luck to all this weekend.
