been doing some reviewing... reading... here's what I'm thinking so far
SIDES:
Baylor -31 (Fri) ... Rice sucks, and Baylor struggled in 1st half last wk then crushed em in the 2nd, think they roll
Louisville +1 hm vs Fla St.... L-ville is very good I believe, playing at home, revenge gm.. facing a freshman qb making first start on road... if things start rolling for L-ville, an early turnover or 2.. seems like a fit to me
New Mex +5.5 @ Rutgers... I was shocked they lost rivalry to NMx St last wk, cost me a 6 tm parlay on the ml :facepalm: ... but I think Bob Davie has team going in right direction, and believe Rutgers was really sucky last yr and doubt they're that much better this yr.. like UNM on ml too
Okla +1.5 hm vs Ohio St... 78% bets on Ohio St and line drops from -2 to -1.5... think Okla shows some offensive firepower, and Ohio St will realize why they usually schedule all home games for non-conference opponents... like Okla on ml too!
OTHERS I'm considering
Wisc -35... hm vs Ga St (who?? see comment above re: Oh St home schedule.. Big 10 trademark)
Marshall -17.5... hm v Akron... I remember last yr kicking myself for not playing Marshall as they rolled week after week... thoughts anyone??
UTEP +3.5... hm vs Army... I read that one of Army's DB's died in car crash after they beat Rice last Sat.. tragic.. can't be good for team morale.. other injuries too? I'll look for Box's writeup.. also long trip to El Paso
Mich St +8 @ ND... Mich St had wk off to prepare, good coach, think they give em a battle... some "newsletters" have this as a top play... thoughts?
Stanford -8.5.. hm vs USC... think Stanford's McCaffrey showed he's the best player in country last yr in the Rose Bowl, Stanford loves to beat USC (thanks to the Carroll/Harbaugh rivalry a few yrs bk).. and I'm still waiting for USC to find whatever character is missing from their football team ever since the Ncaa gave the death penalty to it... maybe just a teaser??
Colo +19.. at Michigan... Michigan hasn't played anybody yet, think Buffs will give them a closer gm than 19... thoughts?
Toledo -20.5.. home vs Fresno St... MAC likes to run it up, and Fresno hasn't stopped anyone in.... what, 6 or 7 yrs? BG Falcon, what u think?
TOTALS
Cal OVER 81.5.... hm vs Texas... Cal couldn't stop much of anything vs a pretty good SD St team last wk, but they do have offensive talent and will play well at home... I believe both teams pad their stats!
L-ville/Fla St OVER 68... L-ville does not have any speed except full out, and we saw Fla St with big plays vs Ole Miss... over for me... for sure
UCLA/BYU OVER 48... at Byu.. just a lean so far... thoughts?
USC/STAN OV 52.5... Usc either scores or gets scored on... I see plenty of both in this one.. call it 38-31 Stanford
okay.. wanted to get these thoughts out there, appreciate feedback and any insights u guys can offer.. will ck tomorrow
g'nite and g'luck!
