I know it's early but since I'm taking a day to RnR and study, these early "BIG GAME" lines were out and now these games might have some impact on how the Final 4 goes the end of this year into Bowl Season!!

Alabama @ LSU, Bama is -9? WOW!! Last few decided closer than that at Death Valley!! If LSU can run the ball like they did vs Ole Miss' front 7, LSU has a chance to win this one SU! Bama on the rd has done diddly squat and their OC is a kiss ass - Ya you, Lame Kiffinator!! Bama's two weapons are Yeldon and Cooper and LSU can concentrate on them.

Ohio St @ Michigan St, State is -3? Deservably so!! State with Cook has a chance to punish the Buckeyes, check full status of QB Barrett. Small line for a home fav, State has some weapons and their defense is much better than it was in week 1 vs Oregon.

UCLA -8 @ Washington? - U Wash is spinning out of control and UCLA "D" is one of worse in the nation, that game smells.

Baylor @ Oklahoma, Sooners by -3? Big revenge and could be one of highest pt totals posted by Vegas next week, combined score could be in the 90's. Baylor has KU-p-cake U today and should roll and Sooners are putting it to the Cyclones @ Ames. Classic Norman Oklahoma Shoot out!!

W Va goes to Texas next week after their game today vs TCU. No opening line on this one, me thinks that WV will be favored by 10.

A&M @ Auburn, no line, Auburn of course has Ole Miss tonight, should Auburn win, they will be at least 16 1/2 pt favs over A&M who suspended Hill the Thrill 2 games for his conduct.

Virginia @ Fla St - Cavs could shock the Noles, but in Tallahasee? Nah. Line should be around -17 FSU for this tilt.

Marshall is undefeated and goes on the rd to Southern Miss next week and should be at least a 17 pt fav - Marshall on the rd has been hot and cold covering the Spread and USM has improved each wk and is at UTEP tonight.

Notre Dame @ Arizona St - no line again, ND has Navy today and Utah is @ ASU. If both ND & Arizona St win today, ND and ASU should be a pick em line I would reckon. ND can beat the Sun Devils away but anything can happen in Tempe.

Oregon @ Utah - no line, should Oregon beat Stanford today and Utah get a win @ ASU today, this will be worth more on the committee than if one or the other loses I would think. My line has Oregon -4 on the rd.

K St @ TCU - another classic matchup. No line. Both teams playing today, TCU @ WV and K St has Okie State at home today. Should both win, both will still only have 1 loss and that will set up another committee head game for the coming weeks. I have TCU as a 1 to 2 pt home fav.

Input is always appreciated!!

GL!!

Oregon @ Utah could be a barn burner!! Oregon getting hot, Utah "D" is tough. Utes lost in OT to ASU on the rd!!

Michigan St was an early line fav -3, this line is off by at least 7 pts!! Let's see if Vegas changes the number before late tonight!!

K St @ TCU, could be a top total play next week.

WV at Texas

I'm thinking it comes out WV -6 to 7. Do or die game for Horns. Face WV, Ok St, and TCU to finish off the season and must win 2 to go bowling. Ok St is winnable and think beating WV is more doable than TCU and a mobile QB. Don't get me wrong, WV is a much better team but I think Texas comes to play knowing their post-season odds. Add in a possible letdown for WV after the tough TCU loss and I think we could see an upset. I am of course biased here.

K St at TCU

Can't wait for this one. TCU is a very good team but I'm sold on K St. Look for a very good defensive game plan from Snyder that confuses Boykin a bit. As good of a player Boykin is, you have to remember his experience as a QB is still pretty limited and Snyder knows it. I'm guessing TCU is a little less than a TD favorite. Going to be a great one!

Those 2 games are going to be crucial to the home teams for sure Cole. Texas I'm sure, Coach Strong wants a bowl birth more than anything to help his recruiting and K St & TCU both with good shots at moving into the Top 4 spot with a win, only one can win and one will have 2 losses knocking them out of contention for the top 4.

I'm very surprised Fla St opened only -19 1/2 vs UVA!! Smells like a big trap game!!

W. Va/Tx, this is another one of those good spots. W.Va not the same on the road and fresh off a tough loss that they let slip away. Texas defense will have to do it's part again and get something out of their offense to get the straight upset. I like Tx getting more than a FG so I jumped on them at 4.5.

I would think after last 3 weeks, WVU should be exhausted, but on the rd they did beat Tx Tech, Ok St and Maryland, all by less than a touchdown.

Texas off big DD rd win at TT and shutout vs K St away week before and couldn't cover at home vs Iowa St? The 4 1/2 pts is about right, but in all honesty, WVU has more weapons and better special teams, only thing going for Texas is the drive in their HC who wants a Bowl game and a win at home vs WV would help attain that goal with Oklahoma St and TCU still left for Texas. :mj07:

Tough one!!

GL!
