re: OFFICIAL CFB Bet Thread Week 2

With online gambling illegal in the U.S.? I doubt that happens.

I'm jumping into sports betting, any good sites/books/recommendations to learn?

USCe, I like both dogs

I already put some down on Fla -2. Probably a trap line but its too good.

I think Pitt will start out more with the run and see how that works. Chryst doesn't do a ton of gadget plays, but I could see a couple on Monday just to keep the Seminoles' defense on their toes and to create some running room. They're dangerous, but if Pitt's rushers can't get anything going, I'm hoping the coaches will try something like pitches or screen passes instead of straight handoffs. The big problem for Pitt is that their top two running backs, Bennett and freshman James Conner, are both dinged up. Their status isn't known, though I expect them to play. Malcolm Crockett is listed as the backup on the two deep, but Conner has outplayed him in training camp. Crockett would be next in line to get carries if one or, God forbid both, be unable to go.

The offensive line is a major work in progress and are a huge question. The starting tackles from last year have moved inside to guard and at tackle, Pitt has a few talented but questionable players. Redshirt freshman Adam Bisnowaty is at one end and a converted defensive lineman, T.J. Clemmings, is at the other. Clemmings did play some offensive line in high school, but remains an unknown on the offensive line. When it was announced at the end of last season that he was changing positions, I didn't think he'd start over Juantez Hollins, a projected starter last year before he was suspended for the season. But he's held him off and will get the start for at least this game. All eyes should be on the tackles on Monday and that will be a good indicator if Pitt can much of anything on offense.

Texas -6.5 (5U) BYU.

Line went from -3 to -6.5 quick. Not sure why its so low. Jumped all over it.

I love a DD home dog

It is too good.

I don't see anyway that this game finishes within 2 points either way.

I have UF by 7 in a 24-17ish type of game, so -2 is definitely good.

Do you guys get all those suspended players back this week?

Everyone except Latroy Pittman will be back, and UF suffered zero injuries against Toledo, which is a first in quite some time.

Pittman didn't play much last year, so UF will be at full strength against Miami.

Looks too big IMO. Michigan State has a pretty crappy offense.
