some early notes for Thurs-Sun games
Bowling Green O is up to 57... opened at 55. BGSU is
running a high tempo O. That's why it's going up. It will continue to climb
Colorado St is down to +2.5 (v Colorado). CSU
has new weapons (Dee Hart at RB). I think this line could hit pickem by gametime.
Ohio St dipped to -12.5 (v Navy) on the news Braxton is out for the year, but then climbed back to -14 when people realized the
backup is a better passer.
Ga Southern is
no longer I-AA, they open +22 vs NCST.
App St is
no longer 1-AA, they open +34.5 vs Michigan. App st is 1-0 all time at Michigan
money is flying in on Arkansas; line opened at +24 (v Auburn) and is down to
20. (I actually loved Arkansas at 24... not as much at 20, but still think it's WAY TOO HIGH)
Marshall will
likely go undefeated. The question is will they cover every game? Probably not, but they open +24 vs Miami (Oh), a team that was horrible last year but played very hard. Marshall's D is actually pretty good, number is probably spot on or a bit low.
Chuckie Keaton returns to action for Utah St (+6.5) v Tennessee. Utah St almost beat Auburn with Chuckie 2 years ago opening week. Tennessee is much improved and Utah St gets respect (as the line indicates).
