As you know, I’m a huge fan of Coors Light Commercials. It’s practically what made this site famous. We used to have a lot more Coors Light commercial on that page, but some vanished from YouTube. Anywho, there’s an excellent new Coors Light commercial out with my main man, Mike Ditka. It features Coors Light’s latest gimmick in case you thought it was no longer possible to come up with a new gimmicks after the widemouth can, frost-brewed inner lining, the blue-turning mountains, the see-through case so you can see the mountains are blue, and other similar gimmicks. The new gimmick is none other than a home draft kit, aka beer in a box (Box-O-Beer).
Expect bruising RB Allen Bradford to stomp over Hawaii.
With the college football season getting its start on Thursday, September 2, I’m looking to see if there are any good lines to take before we kick into gear with the NFL. Some lines are already out and I’m already doing some homework on them. The primetime game on Thursday will be Pitt (+3) vs. Utah, which I like Pitt in, but it’s not a strong play due to Pitt being on the road with a QB who is making his first start. I’m expecting Pitt’s D and Dion Lewis to get the job done for the Panthers though. Afterwards, we’ll see USC (-19) @ Hawaii on ESPN.
USC TROJANS -19 @ HAWAII WARRIORS
I’m not expecting USC to be as dominating as in year’s past due to the controversy that surrounded their team this past offseason. They’re prohibited from playing in a Bowl game for the next two years and they’re no longer being led by coaching mastermind Pete Carroll. You have to wonder how that will affect the team this season. One player that won’t affect is RB Allen Bradford who said, “the only way we’re going to be able to express ourselves is to win 13 games.”
USC has a history of beating the smack out of Hawaii. The last time they played was in 2005 and USC won 63-17, following their 2003 rout over Hawaii 63-31. However, with USC’s 1-8 record ATS on the road last season and a 4-9 overall record ATS, I’m hesitant to jump on the opportunity to take USC in this game. To show you how little coaches expect from USC this season, they’re not even listed in the top 25 in …
THE PASS RUSH’S Pick ‘Em league will enter its second season this year. The pick ’em league is ran through Yahoo! Sports where you enter and track your picks. Like last season, I encourage everyone to sign up. The cost is free. The prize if you win the league is a free NFL Shop custom t-shirt from yours truly. The league was great last year. We had over 20 teams compete for the title and it ended up going to Deez Nuts from Minneapolis, Minnesota who picked a t-shirt of his hometown Vikings. Every week was competitive and it came down to the wire.
Feel free to invite your friends for a shot at the title. Thank you for being a part of THE PASS RUSH. We are also now on Twitterand you can also follow us on Facebook.
Update: Glad to see that Deez Nuts is back to defend his title along with the return of many other Pass Rush Readers.…
Dion Lewis looks to start the season by running wild on the Utes.
The football season is almost upon us. Training camps are in full-mode — injuries are popping up, rookies are developing, and preseason games are about to get underway. Although I cannot wait for the NFL to begin, we get an early start with college football the week prior to the NFL season kicking off. Although betting on preseason football games is nothing more than a coin toss, week 1 of college football is when good money can always me made.
We start the season on Thursday, September 2. The game of the day in terms of viewing (as opposed betting on) is the Pittsburgh Panthers (+3.5) @ Utah Utes, which I imagine will be broadcasted on ABC or ESPN at the 8:30 time slot, which will be followed by USC (-19) @ Hawaii on ESPN at 11:00.
Both teams last year were BCS contenders and both teams finished the season with 10-3 records. Impressive by all means. Pitt finished 17th in the final BCS standings while Utah wound up 24th. Pitt’s defense was their main strength with the 19th best defense in the league. Utah was best known for their potent offense, which ranked 34th in the nation and averaged 29.8 PPG.
The player to watch in this game is none other than emerging RB Dion Lewis, who was a yard shy of an 1800-yard season last year. Dion piled up 18 TDs in his freshman year. In his sophomore year, he is going to tear up the NCAA. Against a Utah defense that is returning just 4 starters, I’m smelling trouble for a young defense that gave up 138 rushing yards per game last …
