Yes its very early and just a few lines up at various books but sometimes this is the chance to jump on something before everyohe else takes advantage of it and moves the lines:

Iowa +10 (definitely buy the half point) at Michigan. . . now I'm a huge Michigan fan and I'm excited about the possibilities if one of the new QBs gets going early but Iowa has taken the Wolves the past two years and they have a lot of potential as well. I just don't believe that Michigan should be favored by double digits against a solid Big 10 team at this point. Even if Michigan looks as good as projected by many services, Iowa could still stay within this number or even a backdoor cover to which Michigan would run the clock out.

NC State +10 over Florida State. . . why does Florida State always seem to be overrated? I think the books and the public may be overlooking this team because they lost Rivers but look at what returns. This could be a very dangerous team and I'm not all that excited about Florida State as usual.

NC State over 7 wins regular season. . . this team could win the ACC. . . check out their schedule. . . they get Miami and Florida State at home. . . both winnable games IMO. They have seven home games, four games on the road. To lose this bet, State would have to have a horrible year losing five games. I just don't see it happening with what they have returning.


Anyways, those are my early thoughts based on some of the lines that I've caught.

Good tip on NC State.

I've been looking at West Virginia over 8.5 wins. They have a very easy schedule in the new Big East. Road games at VT and Pit could be the only obstacles, but those 2 are rebuilding. Lots of returners. Rasheed Marshall is a Sr., and should be very solid.

Only problem is I see the payoff on this is already -170, so lots of people must already be thinking the same thing.

I agree over 7 wins. My preseason power ratings have them winning 9 gms. :iagree:
