The more I get into the Utah State-Utah game, the more I like Utah State. But I think I'm going to sit that one out.

I do have action on an opening day game though: Fresno St -10 vs Rutgers (Rutgers lost a ton on their D. Fresno could be a top 15/20 team this season). Not touching Ole Miss-Vandy (Learned not to bet on teams I love and teams I loathe!). I have SCar winning as part of a mulit-team ML parlay (Just a fun bet!)

Boise +3.5
UNC +11.5
Vandy +3
Arkansas -11.5
Auburn -16

Anybody have that website that shows all the games spreads and lights up each spread by colors whenever there is a shift in the line? If that makes sense. I had it saved last season but lost the link.

Will post it when I get home. Easily the best place to watch lines move(for free at least).

LINK

You can change the colors under options. This is the only site I use to check lines. You don't need to refresh or anything. Though I refresh every now and then just to make sure it's still current.

Florida -23


Im on the other side of that one

Toledo is still stacked on offense and the gators have been terrible covering under muschump so far. I like that driskell still has his job so much. I easily see a much closer game than this

Whoever was talking about getting va tech at (-20),the line has moved all the way to 19.5 at 5dimes.

So far I only have $$ on the lsu/TCU game. Prolly the only bet for week one.

ETA: Looking at the Bama/Va Tech total and leaning UNDER 45.5.

Anyone else thinking USCe is laying too many points?

I have done well in the past years by staying away from the underdogs until I watch them play. Take the LSU game for example, I think there is a better chance of them being better than expected and the hype that TCU has is based on the return of a QB that hasn't played a game in a year and has made poor decisions before. There is more upside for LSU.

Florida lost two games in the elite conference in football last year and Driskill has improved every game. Their defense may give up a few points but Florida has better athletes at every position.

FSU lost their QB but on talent alone is better than Pitt and that game shouldn't stay that close.

I like it, but BYU is a tough out on the road usually. I like the over in this game @ 50 points.

Are you wagering actual money behind this reasoning.

I'm liking Ole Miss -3.

Leaning USU ML.

Haven't really looked into anything else.

I just got -125 on LSU winning over 8.5 games this regular season. Feel like I need to go take out a loan to lay more.

Until we've seen the teams play a game, my logic is as good as anything else. I went 22-6 the first two weeks last year. I am a small unit player and $100 is my max, but I was $1120 up in two weeks and made over $3000 for the year.

Don't go crazy. You could lose that bet by Sunday mass.
