The following 10 teams are locks to win over the assigned win total Vegas gave them.

For any degenerate out there that doesn't understand the concept, here is an easy example.  Let's say the sports book puts the over/under for a team at nine games.  If the bettor puts money on the over, that team must win 10 games for the better to win money.

Now if the bettor bets the under, that team is only to win eight games or fewer.  If the team wins nine games, it's a push and the money is given back.

So here are the locks of the year.

10. Missouri

Over/Under Odds: 10 wins

What’s not to like about the Missouri Tigers this year?  Returning Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year Chase Daniel (4,306 yards, 33 TDs) and first team Freshman All-American Jeremy Maclin (2,776 all-purpose yards) will give opposing defenses all the trouble they can handle.

The Tigers have perfected the spread offense and have the best captain to run the offense in Daniel.  With a shifty running back in Derrick Washington and four returning offensive linemen, the Tigers will light up the scoreboard.

Although not much of the success the Tigers had last season was credited to their defense, they return eight starters, including their top three tacklers—linebacker Sean Weatherspoon (130 tackles, first team All-Big 12), free safety William Moore (117 tackles, second team All-American), and linebacker Brock Christopher (106 tackles).

The Tigers begin the year with four games at home or on a neutral site.  Out of their 12 regular season games, only four are away.  The toughest task on the road for the Tigers this year will be at Texas on October 18.  The Tigers do not play Oklahoma in the regular season and are hoping to win the feeble Big 12 North.

Turnovers played a key role in the Tigers' success last season at plus-13.  If the Tigers find themselves with a negative turnover margin, they may struggle a bit.

Projected Record: 11-2 (one game over assigned total) 

9. Florida

Over/Under Odds: 10 wins

Look for QB Tim Tebow to repeat as the Heisman winner and win his second BCS National Championship.  Tebow is not only a threat through the air, but will beat you on the ground as well.

The spread attack offense implemented by head coach Urban Meyer wreaks havoc on opposing defensive coordinators because you basically pick your poison.  Either you let Tebow sit in the pocket and pick you apart, or you bring the pressure and let him evade all of the defenders with the option attack.

It also helps to have USC transfer RB Emmanuel Moody in the backfield to take some pressure off Tebow and let him pound out his 1,000-yard season.
