Saturday Godspicks

Saturday, September 2, 2006 

The Non Conference Game of the Month is a Wise Guy in college football, plus we have a money line dog that wins outright and another college winner, plus possible late Saturday steam inclusive.

We tell you about a big favorite in which the coach flat out admits he does not intend on playing his top players the entire game.  The bench is very unproven.  We tell you who and why that is.  We have a remarkable Super System favoring a dog moneyline winner in which the units won is nearly the same as the units risked!  The ENTIRE card  is just $17 at www.godspicks.com

WASHINGTON STATE +14.5 Auburn

State was competitive in every game last year, even outscoring their foes for the year.  Take, for example, a 44-33 loss to Oregon State on Oct. 1, a game the Cougars dominated until the fourth quarter. As it turned out, that setback was the start of a trend.

Washington State led UCLA 38-21 going into the fourth quarter before losing in overtime. Joe Ayoob threw two fourth-quarter touchdown passes to give California a 42-38 win on Oct. 22. Oregon drove the length of the field before Paul Martinez’s 19-yard field goal gave the Ducks a 34-31 win. Graduation and suspensions have Auburn’s defense vulnerable.

Auburn is 1-3 in openers the last four years, 34-2 in all other games. Auburn has a strength in their offensive coordinator, but Washington State coach Bill Doba, a longtime WSU defensive coordinator who spent years plotting against Al Borges’ offenses in the Pac-10 Conference, knows his offense as well as anyone.

This game goes down to the wire.
