Free College Football Picks: Kent St @ Alabama 2011 NCAA Football Vegas Odds, Free Picks, and Expert Predictions 9/3/11: First year head football coach Darrell Hazell will lead the Kent State Golden Flashes on the road to Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday afternoon at 12:20 to take on head football coach Nick Saban and his Alabama Crimson Tide for kickoff Saturday of NCAA Football and can be seen on ESPN Gameplan. Kent State finished 5-7 last season and hasn’t had a winning season for 10 years albeit they did go 6-6 in 2006 but that’s just too many 6’s and they face an Alabama team in late summer heat of the south that is preseason ranked No. 2 in the FBS nationally. Coach Saban has a few holes to fill from players exiting to the NFL most notable Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram and wide receiver Julio Jones. Saban is an All-Star recruiter and he will have not only experienced backup s ready to jump in and play but young strong fast athletes that can contribute right away as well. The odds makers at SBG Global have the Alabama Crimson Tide -38 point favorite at home against the Kent State Golden Flashes.
This game should have a special meaning to Alabama Coach Nick Saban as he graduated from Kent State in 1973, but his focus is on the here and now and what his team has to do to get back to a BCS National Title game. Finishing strong is his theme for this year’s unit as it was a problem for last season’s team that dropped 3 SEC games. Replacing those big name draft choices is never easy but running back Trent Richardson should be able to become his own player now that Ingram has moved on and with over 6 yards per carry average he could be another Heisman Trophy Candidate. Vegas odds makers have the Alabama Crimson Tide +450 to win the 2012 BCS National Championship.
As if playing at Alabama isn’t bad enough the Golden Flashes leading rusher for 2010 Jacquise Terry is probable for the game after an injury to his shoulder in practice, his backup is ineligible and that leaves three freshmen vying for carries against one of the best defenses in the nation. The total has gone UNDER in 9 of Kent State’s last 13 games on the road and the total has gone UNDER in 6 of Alabama’s last 7 games at home. Vegas odds makers have the over/under for the total score at 46 points combined of the Kent State Golden Flashes and Alabama Crimson Tide.
Alabama 1-0!
