A 3 man sample =\= public opinion

And it's different when people that analyze and research matchups say something over Tom, dick, and Harry, the armchair QBs

I'll have between 8-12 plays per week, so ~140 plays through 14 weeks.

The min goal is 80-60 or 57%.

Depending on where I am through W7 the units may increase.

I think ill wait to see how Dykes has that offense gelling before i go laying money against him.

Can't blame you. However, I wouldn't be too confident in a tFreshman running a predominantly air raid attack against an experienced defense. Tedford left that program in the shitter

Just placed my bets. I got:

-LSU -4 over TCU
-OSU winning big 12
-Alabama under 11.5 wins
-LSU over 10 wins
-Under 75.5 total points UGA vs Clemson

Also temped to take WKU +3.5 over Kentucky. What do y'all think?

Alabama -18.5 over VT is too crazy to touch either way IMO. Leaving that one alone.
