NINE-RATED GAMES:
MICHIGAN STATE (-22) vs. Western Michigan—Kirk Cousins (19 TDs vs. 9 ints. LY) gives Spartans a big QB edge over Western soph Alex Carder (only 27 YP in 2009)...
WASHINGTON (+3) at Byu—Time for Jake Locker to live up to his billing and to atone for his costly celebration penalty in 2008 meeting; BYU to use both jr. Riley Nelson & freshman Jake Heaps at QB...
CLEMSON (-24) vs. North Texas—Tigers happy to have highly-regarded baseball prospect Kyle Parker back at QB; speedy Clemson defense should stifle Mean Green, who have been outscored 284-33 while picking up paychecks visiting five “power foes” the L3Ys.
Lenny Del Genio’s 25* CFB Non-Conf Blowout of the YEAR **EARLY**
Play on Michigan State at 12:00 ET. These teams met last year here in East Lansing with Sparty obviously emerging victorious in an easy 49-14 win and cover as 20-point chalk. Shortly thereafter things kind of fell apart for HC Mark Dantonio in his third season at the helm of the Michigan State program as his team seemingly quit in a season ending 42-14 home loss to Penn State, which was then followed by an ugly dormitory incident resulting in the suspension of numerous Spartan Wr's and DB's for the Alamo Bowl game vs. Texas Tech (L 41-31, +7). The fact that they stayed within 10 of the high-powered Red Raiders is pretty impressive when you consider it was a de facto road game for MSU. Despite the 6-7 SU finish to the season, there were plenty of positives to take away. It was just the third time in school history that they've made three straight bowl games + the D got a huge break when star MLB Greg Jones decided to return for his senior season. Yes, the Spartans finished 112th in the country against the pass last season, but for this season opener they should be okay facing a 1st time starter in sophomore Alex Carder, who threw just seven passes in 2009 and has big shoes to fill with the departure of Tim Hiller, who left as the school's all-time leading passer. Making life more difficult for Carder is the fact that the Broncos' offense also loses 1000 yd RB Brandon West as well as LY's top two receivers. WMU has been a notoriously bad team in season openers, going 0-4 SU/ATS in the Bill Cubit era and missing the spread by a combined 46.5 points in those contests. Road openers have been a particularly sore spot for the Broncos as they've lost their first road game of the season 15 years in a row (all vs. BCS opp) and done so by an average of 24 PPG. Last year, they were dominated 31-7 by a Michigan team that we quickly found out wasn't very good. In fact, that same Wolverines team would go on to lose to the Spartans just three weeks later. LY vs. Michigan State, a much more seasoned WMU squad found itself down 35-0 at the half and allowed 30 first downs and 600+ yards of total offense. On the defensive side of the ball this year, the Broncos are installing some new schemes and are inexperienced up front, a bad combination for an early season non-conference opponent like this. Returning for the Spartans at QB is junior Kirk Cousins and he'll be aided by a deep RB corps that was bolstered by some highly touted freshman recruits. Cousins completed 28 of 35 passes in LY's meeting and guided the offense to its best day of the year, over 100 yards better than any other game output. The situation is even more ideal for the Spartans this year as this is their first of six consecutive games played in the state of Michigan. Unlike last year, when they had two crucial conference games on deck, they have nothing to look forward to here as they play Fla Atlantic in Detroit next Saturday. Western Michigan is 0-6 ATS L6 games with a total of 49.5 to 56. Look for a big win from Sparty here. Michigan State is our 25* Non-Conference Blowout of the Year.
