1)v tech +4.....the west virginia loss was a definite shock to the line here.....many think the west virginia loss was an aberration....many think that va tech had a weak schedule and this loss was very predictable.....we`ll see this weekend....
2)michigan-4.5.....the destruction of purdue and their vaunted defense by michigan definitely affected this line......mich st is seen by some as a one dimensional passing team and that will play right into the wolverine stellar pass defense....mich st stops the run effectively and that will make michigan one dimensional...
i think without the purdue destruction this one`s closer to pick`em...
3)utah+4....the new mexico destruction coupled with brendan warfield`s injury completely changed this line......personally,i think warfield`s injury really hurts the utes,but,they are one of those teams that seem to concentrate better on the road....their defense is much better than the new mexico showing....
without the new mexico collapse and the injury,the utes are favored here...
4)tx a+m -9..........one reason...kansas qb whittemore`s injury.....
5)florida +2.5......georgia plays like crap offensively for 2 weeks....against weak sisters.....florida picks their game up the last 2 weeks.....this is a 2 week anomaly.....one thing,though,georgia`s defense has remained tough to score on despite getting pushed around a bit by uab.....and florida appears to be more focused on the road than at home......
i initially loved georgia here...now i`m not sure...
i feel as though the linesmaker may have over-compensated on some of these lines....but,i think that a majority of the betting public does over react to the most recent results....
opinions,additions and comments are welcome...
