Who's Coggins?

Ben Coggins

We all know what they say about opinions and this will be the place to catch mine. I will tell everyone upfront, I am a member of two of the most annoying fan bases out there: UNC and The Dallas Cowboys. I enjoy almost all major sports, especially golfing (let me know if you want to tee it up sometime) and may throw some course reviews in here. I will give my point of view on things going on in the world of sports and please let me know what you like and dislike. Feel free to contact me at ben@southernsportsjournal.net anytime.

Weekly Picks
Saturday Picks 
5-5 for Season (2-3) last week.
ECU +7.5 @ UNC   The hook made the difference for me here.
@ Washington +19.5 vs. USC 
Nebraska +5 @ Virginia Tech.
Tennessee +30 @ Florida..
Michigan State +10 @ Washington 
 
Sunday Picks
4-1 last week
@Dallas -3 vs. NY Giants
@Atlanta -6 vs. Carolina Hate to do it, but the blueprint is out now.
Oakland +3 @ Kansas City 
New England -3.5 @ NY Jets. Don’t corner a snake and not expect it to strike
Indy -3 @ Miami 
 
 
There are several games Saturday that really interest me. I will be attending the ECU-UNC game and think this could be one of the better games of the day. Will UNC’s offense show up this week and take a little pressure off of the defense? Can ECU’s conditioning hold up for 60 minutes and not just 30. UNC should prevail, but I look forward to an exciting game.
 
Virginia Tech and Nebraska is another. A win against a Big-12 team would be big for both the Hokies and the conference. I feel like I am beating this issue like a dead horse, but the conference needs a signature win and this could be the conference’s best shot until Miami takes on Oklahoma. I hope the Hokies show some offense this week.
 
Texas is an 18 pt favorite over Texas Tech. I love Mack brown, but he always seem to play someone closer than he should, but I don’t think that will be the case here. Revenge for last year’s loss at Tech and emphatically.
 
What are more people in interested in Saturday night, the Mayweather return vs. Marquez or UFC 103? I am firmly a UFC guy but if boxing is on, I may gander over to it. Where is boxing relevant now ?
