THURSDAY NIGHT COLLEGE FOOTBALL POWER PLAY

                2013 COLLEGE FOOTBALL OPENER

 **** OLE MISS   vs   VANDERBILT

I'm taking the Rebels and laying a point or taking the Moneyline, which ever is cheaper.  There is no ML available at the moment, but I have been contemplating this victory for a couple months now and just know that Ole Miss is getting this one.  This will be sweet revenge for last year at home when the Rebels blew a 23-6 lead to go on to lose 27-26 to the Commodores on a late TD catch by Vandy WR Chris Boyd.  Well Boyd and four other players have been suspended for rape charges.  Maybe this means Mississippi has a little raping to do themselves come Thursday night.  I sure hope so, but I don't expect this to be easy because Vanderbilt has been tough under coach James Franklin and this is a home opener for them.  They did lose their starting QB and RB who accounted for a big part of the offense last year, but still have stud WR Jordan Matthews, who had over 1,300 yards receiving last year.  The Commodores are bringing back 7 starters on offense and 6 on the defensive side which should still play pretty stingy.  I think this could be a damn good year for Ole Miss, though, so everything is in their favor in this game, if you ask me.  They bring back 19 starters from last year, which was a promising 7-6 season for a younger bunch.  They also bring in a top 5 recruiting class, which includes top recruit DE Robert Nkemdiche, who could be a baby Clowney, and JC transfer DT Lavon Hooks, who could be good.  I expect their defense to be much improved as well as their QB Bo Wallace, whose starting his second time around in Division I.


PREDICTED SCORE : REBELS 24   COMMODORES 16
