Tony George here with a 2008 Week 2 College Football free pick on the Wake Forrest vs. Ole Miss game with odds that have Wake Forrest at -7 ½ at BetOnline.com

Houston Nutt takes his road show to Ole Miss, after having vast success at Arkansas and winning some big games down there, before getting ran out of town on a railcar by boosters for reasons which still baffle me. None the less, the Rebels were impressive as they rolled a decent Memphis team last week and WR McCluster is the "real deal" as he tore up the Tiger secondary and I think he will keep Wake Forests defense on edge all day. Ol Miss has some balance and good sized lineman up front as well on offense. Yes the defense is a a question mark, but on offense they will trade punches in this match up.

Not impressed yet with Wake who drubbed Big 12 bottom feeder Baylor last week, which is no surprise, and while QB Skinner is back in form, I like QB Snead for Ole Miss to trade punches in a high scoring game here. Both quarterbacks in this game are playmakers and way above average in talent. A big step up in class for #20 Wake, against an SEC team who has renewed confidence and a coach willing to take some big chances in big games, and for one reason or another, Houston Nutt seems to get the most out of his players and they overachieve, which in fact I think Ol Miss makes this a close one on the road.

This game opened at Wake -10 and has dropped all week, I have even seen some -7.5 numbers coming in Friday, so I am not alone in thinking this game is tighter than the oddsmakers originally thought.
