The Wiz of Odds

North Carolina State

The Wolfpack enter 2009 riding a wave of momentum. After a 2-6 start in 2008, North Carolina State ran off four wins in a row in November to secure a berth to the Pizza Bowl, where it lost to Rutgers. Quarterback Russell Wilson was a big reason for the turnaround and the good news is that he's only a sophomore this fall. The Wolfpack play eight home games. Click the image for an enlarged view.

Missouri

The Tigers are coming off back-to-back double-digit win seasons for the first time in team history. Making it three in a row will be a challenge. Only nine starters return, four on offense and five on defense, including linebacker Sean Weatherspoon, who gets featured play on the poster. Weatherspoon had 155 tackles last season. Missouri opens Sept. 5 against Illinois in the Arch Rivalry Game in St. Louis. Thanks to Andrew and David.
