Any team that can give their qb a decent amount of time or has designed quick routes can pretty much throw at will against LSU right now.

Week 8 Game Sheets: LINK

Please keep in mind that this is the first week my sheets are no longer influenced by preseason estimates. Also this is the first week my model weights games, the first game a team played is worth 40% of the most recent game played.

Also the requested Western Kentucky-LSU sheet:

I may hold off on playing any totals based on my sheets this week. Method 5 is a bit too over-friendly, and looking at the math I need to switch the order of two processes. Although it may just be over-friendly because teams with good offenses/bad defenses and high possession per game rates are playing each other.

New to college football betting, but I had a decent week last week going 5-3-1. There are a lot of lines I like this week and would love to hear your all thoughts:

Clemson -6.5
Duke +2
Florida State -6.5
Utah +3.5
Alabama -14.5



Hate the Clemson play. Road game against a determined team.

Hate the Duke play. On the road, might as well take the Money Line for them, 2 points on the road is the same as 0, take the ML instead if you want to play Duke or wait for the line to hit 3.

Hate the Florida State play. Georgia Tech, while having a poor season, still has the ability to beat anyone, especially at home. Florida State has not been a covering team this year either.

Utah is a 50/50 play. I think that a team or two will get Utah before the year is over, and if I had to pick that team, it would be this USC game. Utah's defense is good, but offensively they are average at best.

Alabama is a game I would stay away from. Offensively they won't light up the scoreboard. This has the makings of one of those patented games where Alabama is never in danger of losing, but doesn't cover either, ala what they did against ULM and MTSU.

IMO there are better plays on the board than those 5.

Agreed - all of those sides are chalky and are already heavily bet by the public.

I took Utah but that's the only one on that list. Don't really feel great about it, so went light on it.

The book is begging you to take Utah - it is the trap of all traps.

I wouldn't fault anyone for doing it tho - it looks so enticing.

Yup - the half point hook confirms this. Even though Utah is getting 2/3 of the wagers.
