Non-AQ picks, Week 1

September 3, 2009 10:00 AM

Posted by ESPN.com’s Graham Watson

A new year, another chance to better my picks record. Last year, I started strong and faded down the stretch. This year, I'm hoping for better results, but it's a tough week to pick games. Here's where my head is at:

No. 24 Nebraska 38, Florida Atlantic 24: I liked this as a potential upset before FAU’s defensive line depth was depleted. I think quarterback Rusty Smith and the Owls will hang with the Huskers early, but there’s just too much athleticism and firepower on Nebraska’s side for FAU to pull this one out.

-----------------------------------------------

I think shes off on the score (add another TD for Nebraska) but other then that on target. Well hang but lose.

 
Phil Steele says:

45-17 NU wins.......

"Last year prior to the opener FAU coach Schnellenberger called out Texas and he paid the price in a 52-10 loss. For the most part Howie gives all his players a lot of time in games like this to better prepare his team for the upcoming conference schedule. The Huskers have some question marks at RB heading into the year and have a first time starter at QB. FAU has just 3 starters back on defense and in their last 12 games on the road vs BCS conference schools the Owls have lost by an AVERAGE of 46-8."

I'd agree more with the 45-17. Though maybe I'm just hoping more to contain the crap out of FAU's offense as it'll give me higher hopes for the year.

With the exception of this game Owl, I'll be rooting for FAU the rest of the year. They seem to get better every year, and I wouldn't be surprised if Smith gets drafted this next year.

 
I'm guessing it'll be around 42-17, and I think our offense will roll quite easily.
