normally i like to ease my way into the season, but there's too many games i like today. so, as a wise man once said... 'get busy livin' or get busy dyin'.' so here we go...
psu (-28.5) 2 units. psu is laying one more point than they did against akron. and syracuse, on the strength of an unexpected close game against minnesota MUST be better than akron, right? i'm not buying it. guaranteed joe pa reemed 'em a new one after a lethargic second half against akron. i think psu will keep their foot on the throat of the orange all game. paulus will be reminded why he chose basketball.
stanford (+3) 2 units. yes, i'm aware of the cross-country flight. it's amazing that people don't think the linesmakers in vegas are aware of it. i'm going out on a limb here.... that's already factored into the line. including last week, the 'dog in wake forest games is 31-14 the last 4 years. during that span, wake is 8-15 as a favorite. you wanna go back 6 years, they are 10-21 as a fav. i love what they've done with that program, and i think they are better than stanford. but they're not a good fav, and that line looks suspiciously low.
unc/uconn under(42) 1 unit. looks too obvious, but i gotta take a stab.
iowa (-6) 1 unit. wow, iowa must be really bad, barely hanging on to beat northern iowa. now they're going on the road against another in-state rival, but this one is a division 1 team. how the heck is iowa laying 6? bad line? or a trap? guess we'll know in a few hours.
wisconsin (-8.5) 1 unit. very tough for me to make this call. fresno has been such a money maker for me over the last 5 or 6 years against teams from the power conferences. and wisconsin is certainly no powerhouse. but this is another case of a line looking very suspicious, almost begging you to take the bulldogs.
i'll be adding a few more later.
