Last year TCU was up 24-0 at the half and won 30-7 after giving up a garbage time TD late and forcing 5 TOs. They're pretty much the same teams this year so even if TCU scores one less TD in the first half and allows one more they would be up by 10 and the line will prob be 8 or 8.5. So I'm playing TCU first half.

Agree... I think TCU should win by about 17, but I want to see how their new linebackers do until I bet on them. The offense should be good enough to overcome the linebackers inexperience early in the year.

What do you guys think of BYU +6 against Nebraska? They've been almost unbeatable the last 2 years with Taysom Hill at QB but lost games after he got hurt so I feel like they come in underrated. Nebraska opened with ULL at home last year and almost lost and now they don't have Abdullah to bail them out. I think BYU wins straight up.

Nebraska -6 is one of my bigger plays of the week. I want BYU to win, but their defense doesn't show up when they play competent offensive teams.
