ULM +35 is good but I got it last week at +35.5. I still think 35 is a lot for Georgia to cover in a game that will likely feature a lot of running the ball and the clock moving. Plus ULM's defense is not bad.

CMU +23 was one of my top plays for the week just because A) I don't think Oklahoma State is as good as their preseason hype and B) 23 is a lot to cover against a jacked up home team on a Thursday Night, especially with the "our coach is battling cancer" angle. I could see Gundy, if OKST does get up a lot, taking his foot off the gas out of respect for their coach and them CMU doing the backdoor cover. Or, the more likely scenario, CMU simply playing a good game and being a formidable opening night opponent.
