WEEK 1 NCAA PICKS - 2011

FEATURE GAME

UNLV at #11 Wisconsin (-35) o/u 56.5
(8:00 ET - ESPN)

Wisconsin is all but unbeatable in Camp Randall Stadium... Add a mid-week "night" game into the mix against a UNLV team that would probably struggle to beat their own JV... & you're going to have a tough atmosphere for the 'Runnin Rebels'...

Unless the Badgers come out overconfident & make mistakes, this line could be covered by halftime (making you a 'nervous' CAMP[Randall]er if you're taking points on the dogs here...

Nebraska is being welcomed into the Big Ten this year, & with Ohio State on the ropes & Michigan welcoming in a new coaching system... Wisconsin needs to show the world that it means business...

I like the idea that sports 'regions' tend to get 'mojo' all together... Wisconsin had the Packers win the SuperBowl... & the Brewers are tearing up the National League in baseball... Not time for a letdown... yet...

Mississippi State (-30) at Memphis o/u 50

(8:00 ET - FSN)

Mississippi State is 4-6 recently in September games... They have to travel to Jordan Hare Stadium next week to play a tough SEC rival (Auburn)... Even though Memphis is 1-4 ATS in their most recent home games, a weeknight 'kickoff' game is usually enough to get some mojo going to cover a spread against a team that might not be taking them too seriously & looking ahead...

MEMPHIS for (1 unit)

#14 TCU (-3.5) at Baylor

TCU lost 9 starters from last years squad (including Andy Dalton). Vegas is trying to herd everyone into taking the Horned Frogs here by having moved the line own from 6 to 3.5...

Appalachian State Mountaineers at #13 Virginia Tech Hokies

I'm going to continue a trend that I basically started last year... Which was... to basically take Virginia Tech every game (after having gone (0-2) to start last season, both losses coming at Lane Stadium to Boise State & James Madison)... They had to play catch up all season long to eventually make it to the BCS Orange Bowl, but I think the memory of that road will be an idea that Frank Beamer gets across to his kids (especially against an Appalachian State team that is famous for having beat a top division team [Michigan] a few years back)...
