Good Year Archives - The Pump Fake

Thinking about laying some green on the Thursday night game lineup here are my picks and thoughts on the outcome!

South Carolina at N.C. State

The South Carolina Gamecocks and the North Carolina State Wolfpack will be battling on the gridiron at Carter-Finley Stadium on Thursday in season-opening action.

Odds makers currently have the Wolfpack listed as 5-point favorites versus the Gamecocks, while the game’s total has not yet been posted.

South Carolina looks to get going under Steve Spurrier, he finally has decided on a QB since Chris Smelly forced his hand and transferred to Alabama. Stephen Garcia takes the helm full time this year and looks to have improved decision making. Can he lead the team? He may have problems with a O-line that gave up 39 sacks last year and lost some WR depth. I predict Garcia to have a good year but I do not think it will start in North Carolina!

South Carolina beat NC State last year but they did not have there defense specialist and got killed in by there lack of defensive play calling.

NC State on the other hand looks like more of a complete team returning much of their offense and Defensive. The front four Defensive lineman are retuning and all seniors I look for them to have big game at home against a weak offensive line.

NC State started horrible last year and finished as one of the stronger teams, I believe the trend continues and they easily cover the 5 points!

Final Score Prediction: 31-17

The game total has not been posted yet but look for a update when it is.

We have arrived to the big anticipated game, although it is just a preseason game this game will have implications all over the place.

1: First we have Jay Culters return to Denver after blasting the team McDaniel and anyone else who was listening.

2: Kyle Orton vs the Bears his old team, many Fantasy Football pundits have predicted KO to have a really good year since he has all these weapons. I believe we will see the real Kyle Orton tonight and that Kyle plays Football on his Backside!

3: Bears receivers vs Broncos receivers: The Bears are undervalued at the WR position and all you Fantasy Football fans will want to see this as you have some new sleepers after this game. The Broncos have suspended Brandon Marshall so 2nd year guy Eddie Royal will be leading the charge. I like the Bears receivers to make a statement as Cutler finally gets on the same page with Hester and gets a deep ball to him.

Prediction of Game:

Bear’s Vs Bronco’s 8pm Eastern

Spread is +2 for the Bears and I like taking the points in this game. Cutler is used to playing in Denver and is still looking to make a statement! My final score prediction is Bears 28 – 12.

Bears get two Turnovers off of Orton Fumbles and take one to the House!
Cutler hits Olson, Forte and Hester for touchdowns!
Lovie Smith is calling Defensive plays this year and the difference will really be apparent tonight. Previously Bob Babich called the plays and was more of a rad and react guy, Lovie goes by the Attack, Attack, Attack system. I predict a big game for the defense!
Take the points tonight and win big +2 is bet!
As far as game total I predicted a 28-12 Score which puts it barely at the over….play this at your own risk!

The weather in Denver is 61 degrees and Cloudy and its looking like some good football weather. Orton plays horrible with a wet ball and will be very erratic if it starts to rain so watch this closely if starts to rain.
