Oklahoma and Texas should cover for sure; notre dame should also.

Florida's defense is said to be stacked so I'm gessing if the Gators can score at least 4TD's, they should be good.

As we have said already, large spread teasers are terrible for your odds/value. Its better to just bet the games individually as there are very few key numbers you cross with high spread lines.

How does betting work, when you bet on a game, but it is then postponed to a later date? Does the bet still hold generally or does it depend on where you're betting?

If you want to do with for shite and just throw down $10 or so knowing you will probably lose, but want to see if you can hit all the games- go for it. Just don't put a larger sum of money on it

Trying to look up some info on it, but I'm at work, so most of the sites I try to bring up are blocked.

Just for clarity, I was asking for the Tech/A&M game. They haven't decided whether or not they are gonna move it.

Most bets have an "on or before" clause.

Most of it is pretty meh IMO. I'm only on 3 games (plus the bama bet I made back in January)- I normally have a full card by now (~6-8 games)

Not sure what is so funny. Week 1 of CFB season, my bets are normally placed long before the games start. On 75-80% of them I typically gain value by getting a better line.
