Miami-Ohio/Florida ‘under’ 52½: Miami-Ohio is coming off of a 1-11 season, and this is a team that had a terrible offensive line last season. That being the case, is it really a good thing that the undersized line returns all five starters, especially vs. the Florida defensive line? The Gators begin life without Tim Tebow, although they should still be very solid. Since the outcome of this game should never be in doubt, the Gators should be more concerned with working on their timing in a live-game situation than with meaninglessly running up the score.

Illinois/Missouri ‘under’ 54: This is another total that seems a tad high because only one team will be doing most of the scoring. Illinois underperformed a year ago like many Ron Zook teams normally do, and lost a lot and will be worse this season. There also seems to be a clash, with the pass-happy Paul Petrino brought in to be offensive coordinator for a team that’s lacking at the quarterback and receiver positions. Missouri could leap to elite status in the Big 12 this year if the defense improves, and the Tigers should have no problems with this Illini offense.
Kentucky -3 over Louisville: This game features two new head coaches, but Kentucky coach Joker Phillips has a lot more to work with here. Besides, Phillips has been the coach in waiting for several years now, as it was a forgone conclusion that he would take over once Rich Brooks retired, and Brooks’ entire coaching staff remains in tact, which should make for a smooth transition. Conversely, Louisville Coach Charlie Strong was left with a one dimensional offense and a horrible defense, and it will take a lot more than just home field to keep pace with this SEC opponent.
Navy -6 over Maryland: Sometimes, having a one-dimensional offense is a good thing, as Navy has been to seven straight bowl games while employing the option attack put in by Paul Johnson, who has since moved on the Georgia Tech. The Midshipmen averaged an impressive 280.5 rushing yards per game last year, which was fourth best in the nation. Now, it is not normally advisable to give this many points with a team that does not pass the ball, but Maryland had the worse defense in the ACC last year and returns just one starter on the defensive line. Thus, Navy should be able to run at will and name the score in this spot.
