Going to tread lightly early:
La-Monroe +4 for 5* & ML +155 for 2* - Huge home game for experienced La-Monroe squad that played 8 games away from home last season. La-Monroe returns all 11 starters on offense. Tulsa only returns 10 starters overall & they have a new coaching staff. I like Paul Smith, but RB Tennial is hurting and Tulsa only returns 4 starters on offense. Tough recipe for success on the road.
Monroe 24 Tulsa 17
Miss State +20 for 5* - Don't really like this game as LSU could explode on them and all the trends point towards a blowout. Miss State is just 1-14 vs. LSU since 1992:scared :com: However, that one cover was last season. LSU is still bringing a number of new personnel on the offensive side of the ball and Miss State did play decent defense last season. I probably wouldn't play this game unless it was on TV so take with a grain of salt.
LSU 24 Miss State 10
Smaller Plays:
Iowa State -3 (-120) for 2.5* - I know the Cyclones were decimated on offensive and defensive line, but Meyer to Blythe is still a lethal combination and I have a tough time believing an average MAC team can win @ a Big 12 school.
Utah +6 for 2.5* - Utes always tough and Brian Johnson returns @ QB while Asiata should give weak tackling Oregon State problems from the running back position. I think Utah is more than capable of the SU win, but will gladly grab the points.
Miami, Ohio +4.5 for 2* - Not sure how Ball State is favored over anyone. Taking MAC conference Underdogs was a huge interconference moneymaker last season. Why buck a cash cow?
