Labor Day weekend action about as good as any I can remember. Any games not listed that we shouldn't miss?

(Odds William Hill, all times Eastern)

WEEK 0:

SAT AUG 28
Nebraska (-7) at Illinois -- 1:00 FOX
Hawaii +17.5 at UCLA -- 3:30 ESPN -- Chip won't show much, personal revenge game vs LSU on deck

WEEK 1:


THU SEP 2
Boise State at UCF (-5.5) -- 7:00 ESPN -- Grabbed UCF for a small play at -3.5
#4 Ohio State (-13.5) at Minnesota -- 8:00 FOX -- Line sure is pretty, seems bait-ish

FRI SEP 3
#10 North Carolina -5.5 at Virginia Tech -- 6:00 ESPN -- Comfortable giving less than 2 FG, NC by 10+

SAT SEP 4
#2 Oklahoma (-26.5) at Tulane -- NOON ABC -- If I'm playin', I'm layin'. They come out fast, they cover by half
#19 Penn State at #12 Wisconsin (-4.5) -- NOON FOX

#1 Alabama -19 vs #14 Miami -- in Atlanta, 3:30 ABC -- 43-20 Alabama
#17 Indiana at #18 Iowa (-3.5) -- 3:30 BTN
#23 Louisiana at #21 Texas (-9) -- 4:30 FOX -- They're just begging us to take Texas at home

#3 Clemson vs #5 Georgia +3 -- in Charlotte, 7:30 ABC -- Wanted UGA ML, then 2 huge injuries this week
#16 LSU -4 at UCLA -- 8:30 FOX -- 34-24 LSU
Nevada +3.5 at California -- 10:30 FS1 -- I live out west, call it an educated hunch

SUN SEP 5
#9 Notre Dame (-7) at Florida State -- 7:30 ABC

MON SEP 6
Louisville vs Ole Miss (-9.5) -- in Atlanta, 8:00 ESPN -- It's a trap! (Right?)

Has ESPN and FOX announced their broadcast teams for the season yet? Seems like that's usually announced in July

First football game with actual fans in the new stadium. (Was supposed to be Saints at Raiders last year on MNF)

I mean I'm not really arguing with that but it's at least a power 5 game

Oh and it's Bert back as a HC and his debut

Anyone else think Georgia beats Clemson? I don't think it will be particularly close, even.

This is the kind of trash game to that I can fap...I mean...gamble to.

Ariona/BYU is definitely SAD material.

First full football season with ten sportsbooks at my fingertips.

Maybe if Chip comes out conservative and vanilla to keep LSU from seeing too much, but it's Chip.

While normally not advised, I think I’d have to consider taking Bama and giving Miami the 18.5 points. I don’t think Miami is that good to not get utterly steamrolled by Alabama.

Only thought it maybe Saban puts the 3rd string defense in and allows Miami a cheap TD or two late.

Yeah, anything less than 20 and I gotta side with Bama. Only concern is a back door if Bama is covering the spread by halftime lol
