Week 1 Picks

Picks for Week 1's weekday games

THURSDAY

North Carolina @ #6 South Carolina
  The Gamecocks are hovering around 10pt favorites at home and they should be but I am interested to see UNC and QB Bryn Renner. I think UNC keeps this game competitive until their in-state rivals wear them down.
UNC 20, South Carolina 29


Utah St. @ Utah
  Utah St. won last year in an entertaining close one and this year's game should be even better. Utah will have more talent and the home crowd, but if they can't stop Aggies QB Chuckie Keeton, they will be in trouble.
Utah St 26, Utah 31

Ole Miss @ Vanderbilt
 Should be a good opener and we will get to see who makes an impact from the Rebels #1 recruiting class.
Ole Miss 31, Vanderbilt 23

Rutgers at Fresno St
  There are probably a lot of people that don't even know what conference Fresno St plays in but after tonight, the college football population will know about the Bulldogs and QB Derek Carr. They have an opportunity to open some eyes.
Rutgers 19, Fresno St 31

#24 USC @ Hawaii
  Hawaii wont win this game but more intriguing than the outcome is how USC plays, specifically the two QBs competing for the starting job. I think USC will show flashes of who they can be and show us why we can't trust them very much.
USC 38, Hawaii 13
