Picks for College Football Week #1

Bleu is taking his $1000 allowance and sinking into an account for sporting purposes. Being the first week we're going to take it slow.

Bleu Picks:

North Carolina State @ South Carolina
The Cocks look to let their Defense carry the load this year and with a new D Coordinator Ellis Johnson they should be solid. NCSU 14 - USC 27
Under 45 for $50

Wake Forest @ Baylor
The Bears have a new coach in Art Briles. He will get them to come out fired up but fall short to Wake in a late, but close finish. WFU 31 - BU 24
Baylor +12 for $25

Western Michigan @ Nebraska
Again a new coach and again a fired up squad and more importantly a VERY fired up crowd ringing in the Bo Pelini era. Bleu gives it a 4 Paw pick! WMU 17 - NU 49
Nebraska -14.5 for $100

Alabama @ Clemson
This could go either way with the expectations and the excitement at Clemson, they expect to win and win big this year. In the past we've seen this and heard this and it always ends up the same old song. The young, inexperienced, well-coached Crimson Tide wins a squeaker and gets a boost in the polls, while deflating the optimism in Death Valley. UA 30- Clemson 28
Alabama +4.5 for $25

There we go the start a new season with some Thursday night games and plenty of time to get back to even through the weekend.
