Every year around this time, I take a trip to Las Vegas and make a couple of season-long prop bets on team’s win totals. Here’s a few that might be worth your while...

Georgia Tech over/7 wins
I feel the public is riding the under strong here with the loss of All-American Chad Johnson. What the squares should know is Tech has a lot of depth at receiver and RB Tashard Choice is a very skilled back that will be the workhorse all season long. Losing four-year starter, QB Reggie Ball, actually helps G.T. as he was extremely inconsistent and made very poor decisions. I’m looking at 5 lock wins, 0 definite losses and 7 maybe games. The seven home games will be the difference and should push the Jackets close to double digit wins. Play Over/7 wins

Notre Dame under/7.5 wins
Charlie Weiss certainly has his hands full with this group of young guys. No one knows who the starting QB is and the defensive unit is below average. Also, the schedule is just brutal. Opening with four of the first six on the road won’t help things either. As I take a gander at the schedule, I see 3 for sure wins, 4 for sure losses and 5 toss-ups. With little experience at key positions, those early road games will catch up to the Irish who won't finish better than .500. Play Under/7.5 wins

South Carolina over/7 wins
With the majority of starters returning on offense and 10 returning on defense, Spurrier will have his most experienced team in his tenure at South Carolina. QB Blake Mitchell has a year under his belt and should have an outstanding season. The schedule is tough, but workable. 5 guaranteed wins, 1 locked up loss and 6 toss-ups should make for an interesting year. If SC can win a few road games, the Cocks will be in good shape. Play Over/7 wins
