Starting a new thread and inserting any relevant threads from today
Looking ahead to week 3:
Boy talk about letdown spots - App St after two emotional games (and traveling) now hosts Troy. Teenagers tend to have bad letdowns……..
NDame gonna be laying double digits to Cal. Will be interesting to watch initial line move, and how much market correction, cause Irish offense is just not good. They will struggle vs decent defenses
Penn State at Auburn: Auburn has offensive issues similar to us last year. That QB is not good, at all. That game has Under and Penn St all over it
Wish Boston College was playing someone good. They have Maine. The time to fade them may be running out. In upcoming situations if they someone with a good defensive front, they will really struggle. The OL issues are very bad
edit: in 2 weeks B C plays at Fla St. Noles D front will be a tough task. I hope Noles don’t look good vs Lville on national TV this week (Thurs night maybe?). And hope Eagles blow out Maine…..cause In gonna hammer FSU soon as line comes out. Talking about being at the desk at Cherokee on Sunday night or early Monday morning that week……if it all sets up like I hope it will
I’d look at UGA laying under 3 scores in Columbia and the Miami/A&M under as well but agree with most of your analysis on the rest.
Circa openers of note
Tigers -35
Penn St -3 (please don’t let sharp $$ hit it upwards)
Georgia-26
Miami/aTm total of 51’ (little higher than I thought it would)
Waiting for my book to post college spreads but on ESPN I’m seeing FSU -1.5 over Louisville...if my book opens with that I’m hammering it.
Ole Miss -14 over GT also looks appealing. And I’m seeing Iowa -21 over Nevada but I’m not sure if Iowa can score 21 points.
Just took:
UGA 1H -14
ND/Cal U44.5
Miami/A&M U48.5
Cuse ML +101
Not necessarily my plays, but some interesting early numbers... Mostly the bigger name teams and some others I like. Mainly for discussion.
Fri FSU -1.5 vs Lville *** I like FSU in this one
Clemson -33 Under 55 *** I actually like both of these. Defense will be backnext week.
UGA -24.5 vs USuC *** UGA is going to tear a new one for USuC. I know USuC usually plays them closer in Cola, but USuC is down 2 more starters. LB Mo Kaba & DE Straughn (or something like that). Rattle Snake QBR # 100
OKL -13.5 vs Nebr **** Not sure about OK yet, but Nebr is a mess. Will the coaching change make a diff?
Ole Miss -14.5 vs GT *** I just think Ole Miss is going to score some points. I haven't even looked at how they are doing with a new QB
Penn ST -3 vs Auburn *** Auburn sucks. I need to look at QBR list and take it into account more. Seems like Auburns QB sucks. Penn St isn't great, but its only 3 points, and it's Auburn.
LSU +3 vs Miss St
Ohio St -31 vs Toledo *** No nothing about Toledo, but OSU will score some pts.
NCst -9.5 vs Texas Tech
GaSt -19 vs Charlotte *** Ga ST has played a couple great games against' P5 teams. Charlotte is terrible
Miami +6 vs A&M *** A&M's QB sucks (QBR # 100). Miami's QB wasn't much better in the QBR rankings (#70), But I know TI is high on him. Getting 6 pts is good. Probably buy it up to 7.
Utah -21 vs SDST. Not sure why SDST is so bad, but I think Utah takes them to the woodshed.
