The San Diego Chargers (0-1 SU & ATS), beaten on a last-second touchdown in their opener at home, will look to bounce back on Sunday when they visit the Mile High City to play the Denver Broncos (1-0 SU & ATS), who got a breather in their opening game, in this AFC West matchup that is scheduled for 4:15 PM ET kickoff at Invesco Field in Denver.

The Arkansas Razorbacks, (8-5 SU, 7-5 ATS, 8-4 O/U) have a new leading man in former Louisville and Atlanta Falcons head coach Bobby Petrino and have some pieces in place to succeed in 2008 despite losing the best running back in all of college football in Darren McFadden.

After NAA football betting fans saw them go 8-5 overall and 4-4 in SEC play last season, Petrino will bring his pass-oriented offense back to the college game after flaming out miserably in his one quitting-interrupted season with the Falcons in which he was called every four-letter name in the book by Falcons players, management and owner Arthur Blank.

The Razorbacks will have a new starting tailback in speedy Michael Smith who could turn out to be a star someday. However, the team has issues at quarterback with incumbent starter Casey Dick not setting the college football world on its ear with his mediocre passing skills.

Having solid lines on both sides of the ball should help as the team adjusts to Petrino’s pass-happy system. Center Jonathan Luigs anchors an offensive line that allowed only one sack per game last season.

The Western Illinois Leathernecks, (6-5 SU, 3-3 Conf.) went 6-5 overall last season, including a respectable 3-3 mark in Missouri Valley Conference matchups. Led by the team’s impressive offense, the Leathernecks averaged 24.8 points per game while allowing just 19.5 points per game defensively.

Western Illinois ran for a whopping 255.6 yards per game but threw for just 123.5 yards per contest. The Leathernecks allowed just 144.5 yards per game on the ground and another 175.5 per game through the air.

All-America running back Herb Donaldson is back for his senior season and is on pace to become Western Illinois’ all-time leading rusher in his third season as a starter. The Walter Payton Award finalist will anchor an offense that returns 19 letterwinners and nine starters from the nation’s 11th-best rushing team.

Sophomore quarterback Matt Barr matched the school record for wins as a freshman (five) and became the most successful rushing quarterback in school history, gaining 385 yards on the ground and four touchdowns on 91 attempts.

Entering his 10th season at Western Illinois University, head football coach Don Patterson will be taking an immediate leave of absence due to a recent diagnosis of tonsillar cancer.

Western Illinois did lose both starting offensive guards from a year ago but returns 22 defensive lettermen, including nine starters and six all-conference honorees from a group that ranked among the nation’s top-25 in six categories last year.

Analysis: While I am certainly no fan of Petrino’s and generally think the guy gave the Falcons a really under-handed one-year tenure, I think this is a game the Razorbacks win easily as they likely run up the score on the Leathernecks as Petrino tries to make a statement in his very first game at Arkansas.

Petrinto should remember however, that, what goes around, usually comes around, even if it is a different team delivering the message the second time around. Take the Razorback to win and win going away, though I’ll admit that I can’t wait to see the Razorbacks get routed by some conference opponent at some point in this 2008 college football betting season.

Unfortunately, Jim Hofher managed a staggering eight wins in five seasons, including three campaigns with just one victory. The laid-back approach that he brought to Western New York didn’t exactly bode well for an upstart program. Gill, a former assistant with the Green Bay Packers, took the reigns and immediately breathed life into the troops—specifically the offense. After a difficult 2006 season, the former Nebraska Cornhuskers pivot led the Bulls to a 5-3 record in the MAC, and to a share of the East division title.

College football pundits and BetUS staff have high hopes for the upstart Bulls this season—including a possible shocker in Week 1!
