After looking at Mich St and BSU a little deeper. Play is on MSU -7. MSU returns 4 starting O-lineman, the one that didn't start on the o-line, started at NT last year for MSU. They also return starters at both DE positions, all 3 LB's, both CB's and the SS. BSU lost 3 starters on O-line, all 4 D-line starters, all 3 LB starters, and both safties. All world QB Moore, their starting RB and TE. Am I missing something? MSU should roll by 4 TD's.

Feel the same way. Locked it in last night. Friday night home game. Mich St may have the best defense in the Big 10. I think Boise will still have a good season but Mich St should win this one handily.

Sportsbook has posted spreads on most of the games for next week. No ML's yet though.

I know most guys in here like 5dimes the best, but can someone please tell me why that site is preferred by most here? What other sites are good to use or that I should stay away from?

Also, i'm looking for a site that has an iPhone app.

You get earlier lines that most other books. It is one of the largest and most popular worldwide (means stability). They offer nearly every type of bet and lines on almost anything. 1 free withdraw per month (a lot of sites charge $15-$30 every time you want to withdraw). Customer service is EXCELLENT

Those are a few of the reasons why I am with them

Bookmaker has a pretty good mobile web page. They also have some of the largest limits for the online books out there: $10K CFB and $20K NFL.

I like sportsbooks half juice Friday's every week. You can load up on college on Friday's and save a good bit in juice over the season.

I use Bookmaker and I loaded up enough to get Diamond status so I get a bunch of perks.

I like the teams involved. I would had done a 6 pt teaser though. You are losing .5 points of value since 0.5 and 1 are the same thing. You can't tie so 0.5 is worthless. I would have teased them to -1 and -6.5 since you are still under the main number in 7.

Forgot to mention 5dimes has half off juice on the day of every game, no matter what sport

Thanks for the reply

Sounds like I may take this route since most guys in here recommend it. Looking forward to making some monies in here again with y'all. Been doing a little research this morning, but I only have one game I am betting for sure. I like Michigan St -7. Michigan St is returning a lot of experience while Boise lost a good chunk of core players last year, especially on the lines. I see Michigan St winning this by at least 2 scores and maybe more.

im def. leaning towards MSU as well, but hesitant because i have never seen their new QB play.

also the chris peterson factor can not be overlooked.

Those are the only two things to be worried about honestly. I think MSU will be able to pound the rock all night with a good run game behind a strong OL. MSU won't be depending on a new QB to win the game, but I think Boise will need Southwick to play great for them to have a chance.
