USC -3
Auburn +6.5
LSU -16.5 (Terrible homer play)

Baylor -37
Texas -4
LSU -16.5
Clemson -6.5
1U 4 fold

LSU -16
Ohio State -21
Alabama /UT - Over 53.5
Texas A&M/Ole Miss Over 63.5
1U 4 fold


Think I'll go big on Ohio State single, think Barrett will get them back to a spread beater

I don't want to be the guy that critiques people's plays, especially when I am not having a great year myself, but all of those parlay sides are... extremely square. No way do they all hit. Hell most of those sides I wouldn't even consider betting solo.

37 will be a lot to cover for Baylor in the monsoon they are about to play in.

Texas -4 may be the only play he is on I would consider

LSU is a steam chasing play considering you could have gotten them at 14.5, and WKU has the quarterback to cover through the backdoor. Plus LSU hasn't been good at covering vs. non conference opponents this year.

Clemson -6.5 is a very square play, Miami has a good chance to cover in that one, even if they don't win. Clemson's toughest road test this year, and they won their previous toughest road game by 3.

Ohio State -21 on the road is a bad idea considering how bad they have been at covering this year

Tennessee/Alabama in my opinion is one of the easiest unders this week. My model says it goes under 92% of the time. So the over is a bad idea - where is Tennessee going to get their offense from?

My model does have A&M and Ole Miss going over, but A&M's offense has been inconsistent this year away from Kyle Field and against teams not named Ball State. Do you trust A&M's offense in their first road game, especially with a QB who may not be the most confident person right now?

Yeah, Miami+6.5 is mad hipsterish.

Don't lock it in, if you want to do a 4 leg parlay there are better options.

I'd look at the under in the Baylor/Iowa State game because of the rain.

Under in the Kansas/Oklahoma State game looks good too. Oklahoma State's defense should shut out the worst offense in FBS according to my model, Kansas's offense. Will Oklahoma State score 63? I doubt it.

Missouri/Vanderbilt under. My model has this going under 100% of the time. That may be a little extreme, as turnovers and special teams could ruin the under. But this is two top 5 defenses against two bottom 10 offenses. Points will be tough to come by.

Lastly I would take Boise State against any number. I got them at -31, but take them at -35 too. They have always seemed to respond well after a loss, and this has the makings of the 55-0 beating Boise State put on Hawaii a few weeks ago.

There is a 4 team parlay for you. It probably won't hit, but it stands a better chance than what you had.

I think LSU covers, but I can see it being tight.

I really like Clemson. I feel they are being underrated this year.

I really like the Under here as well. I HATE playing unders though because it makes watching the game terrible.

I don't like the over/under here. I like Ole Miss to cover the spread. They will bounce back.
