College Football Saturday & TWITTER

Thank you Clemson Tigers....after falling behind 21-0 early at Ga Tech the Tigers fought back and made it a close one 27-30. 11 out of last 14 now decided by 5 pts or less.....

The Hedgie will now be on Twitter.  Ocassionally there will be halftime wagers and adjustments that might be hard to update on the site.  Thursday and Monday Nights games especially....speaking of Twitter the NFL has adopted a new rule for players.  No players are allowed to 'tweet' 90 minutes before or after each game. Ocho Cinco Tweets and says he has found a loophole. Hedgie will watch this closely ...a handicapping angle??   hmmm

Another Handicap Angle - NEW RULE - no more WEDGES on kickoff returns . How will this affect lines ?  Perhaps worse starting field position for many teams. Does this equal less points?  more unders?   stay tuned for future analysis....

SATURDAY PLAYS:

UCONN +4   vs UNC     2 stars      UNC has 2 players out with swine flu. take the home dog

DUKE +1  at Army      1 star      Duke better players  . will bounce back after tough loss last week

OHIO ST  +7  vs USC    3 stars     hedgie has not met ONE person who likes Ohio St.  Everyone looks for same embarrassing result as last yr. Well, Ohio St has been preparing for this all summer. You say they stunk vs Navy.  They looked ahead. It's natural. And navy is a good team with very unorthodox system that's hard to prepare for.   USC loses many starters to the NFL and brings a freshman starting QB into hostile territory with 105,000 screaming fans.  This game will be a close one ! 


The Hedgie has ALOT to say.....(tomorrow)


In OBSERVANCE Of 9 - 11....

NFL Thursday Night game (S).....be careful


What a game on deck. Many angles.....fade the super bowl public favorite ? take the road dog getting +6 in what looks to be a low scorer? Titans won last year 31-14 in Tennessee. Revenge for Steelers here? Do Titans have Steelers Number? Hedgie's chompin to make a play but will use extreme discipline and wait til sunday. not dippping toe in this water tonight....

On the other hand, there's a good college game on at 745pm. Clemson vs Ga Tech - 4.5 The last 13 games , 10 of them have been decided by 5 points for fewer. Clemson has maybe the best defense in the ACC this year so expect a very close game. TIGERS + 4.5 1 unit

First Plays of the Season..




WAKE FOREST - 2.5 1 star




Senior QB Riley Skinner led the ACC last yr in pass completion with 74% and his entire O-Line returns intact Tough spot for Baylor who must travel cross country for opener


VA TECH +7 1 star

QB Greg Mcelroy makes his debut for Bama vs an aggressive Hokie defense and Bud Foster. This game is the lowest posted total for week 1 at 38 and 7 points here is a lot of value in what shoudl be a low scoring affair
