Normally, I'd jump on WVU -12 at Baylor. But maybe that means I should jump on Baylor +12.

I dunno. After watching them AT HOME give up points to Maryland (and not being able to drop more points on that sorry defense), I'm hesitant on larger spreads for WVU.

Although, if aVa's point about a rivalry between Maryland and WVU is legit, WVU could have a huge game on the score board.

All comes down to whether or not you think WVU's defense can hold Baylor to a low point total, on the road.

Interested to see the point total for this game.

Why do you guys like Spartyball? I know there is the thought that OSU has nothing to play for, but I think they would love to smack MSU/Neb/Wisc/U-M to set the tone for next year. I don't see Bell getting lots of yards on OSU. Good luck with Maxwell House and those receivers.

Ohio State has looked mediocre AT HOME against lesser teams. They go on the road to a hostile crowd against a stout defense and run game. Either way if the line goes up I'll just grab the buckeyes at +3.5.

My initial reactions to lines are:

VT -6.5 (I admittedly have no idea of Cincy)
Penn State +1.5
Minnesota +7
La Tech -3
Oregon -29
Ohio State +2.5
Arizona Stae +2
Alabama -31.5
Missouri +3

None of these are locked in, but i like them at first glance.

Every week I think the same thing, and every week I don't bet because I'm worried, this will be the week Oregon doesn't cover. Every week I'm wrong.

It's on the road. Only reason I can see it at -29. Air Raid can be a quick scoring offense also. I want to see the 1st half total.

Oregon vs Wazzu is at centery link field in Seattle. It will be a split crowd.

Fair enough. You have any reason as to why the spread is at 29?

Because the only reason Oregon looked so good last week is because literally everything went right for them and wrong for Arizona, that won't happen every week

Here's what I saw:

Stanford -7 vs Washington - Stanford shouldn't have any problems
Hawaii +28.5 vs BYU - That same BYU team that looked like crap vs Utah and Boise?
Minnesota +6 vs Iowa - I haven't seen Minnesota, but I can't imagine Iowa is any good
La. Tech -2.5 vs Virginia - Riding the La. Tech paintrain here
Colorado +21.5 vs UCLA - Honestly, I can't see UCLA winning by 3+ TDs
Arizona St. +2 vs California - I took ASU last week -6.5 vs Utah, they won by 30. I don't see Cal putting up much defense
Missouri +3 vs UCF - I haven't seen UCF, but I don't see Mizzou losing, even on the road

This is not true. I have watched VT every game this year. They always lay an egg each year which happened against Pitt. Then they roll through most of the rest of the season. I will have to research what Cincy has, but I would not bet Cincy ML just because they are playing VT as you insinuate.
