I took the points and ML on both Temple and Charlotte. Think the Rutgers "hype" is crazy based on what they actually looked like last season and basically rate Duke and Charlotte the same.

I tossed a little on Temple ML as well. Man I'm pumped for this weekend. Betting baseball has been the worst

Oh I 100% agree on baseball I gave up on it by the middle of July and started throwing some extra coin on golf every weekend instead haha

But the only thing that easily beats the first weekend of college football is the first weekend of March Madness. I can't wait to get home tonight

Iowa -3 over Indiana.
Fresno State +20.5 against Oregon
Miami/Alabama over 61

I tempted to take Boise ML tonight.

 

[cusefan88]

I'm going to be in the minority but Duke will dust Charlotte again. The line was small last year IIRC.

 

[Chip]

6 team for tonight. $20 gets me $955. In reality, $20 will cost me $20.

UCF -6.5
Coastal Carolina -33.5
Appalachian State -9.5
NC State - 19.5
Ohio State -13.5
Bowling Green +36.5

I'm gonna go against tOSU playing a league road game at Minnesota to open. Going against the buckeyes juggernaut with Minnesota +14. According to Vegas insider I'm part of the 8% of point spread money on the Gophers.

I worry about Boise in that heat. I went the other way.

I hope so, I'd be happy to lose that one.

But Ohio State is so talented. And every time one of these upstarts has a big home game against them, they just seem to roll. Having them start off with a B1G loss, and a good Oregon team coming to Columbus next weekend, that would be funny.

Not sure about the Temple love here as I watched them a few times last year and they were awful. As a NJ resident I can't bet on that game anyway so just as well.

Kansas State - 3 vs Stanford
Louisiana + 8 vs Texas
Penn State + 5.5 vs Wiscy
ND - 7.5 vs Florida State

to think what would be happening if ny had their act together on all of this

 

[Arangeman]

OSU QB looks like a deer in headlights

 

[Chip]

I’m 5 for 6, need UCF to get going. They have to outscore Boise by at least 17 in the 2nd half.

woooow I was pulling for ya man.

Luckily I was able to grab -4.5 the other day.

What a dagger. Woke up in the middle of the night to check the score. Now I’m pouring a bourbon.

It's the Schiano effect. He has his people in the media pumping them up, their recruits up. It's a brilliant strategy that I commend him for.

He has also brought in a ton of grad transfers and some have made an instant impact.

He has had like four transfer QBs and finally found a serviceable one that is a game manager.

They are going to win 3-5 games this year though Max.

I'd love for Temple and us to put them in an 0-2 hole, but I don't see it.

In conference play they might beat MSU, Illinois, Maryland. I can't see them beating Northwestern, and frankly can see losses to two of the three I said they could.

you go back and look at the duke char game from last yr and you wonder how the score got so wacked.. char had the ball 30 more min had more 1st downs, 40 more plays and had 50 yds less of offense.. But duke had 200 yds of running on 3 plays and 70 yds on the other 30 plays.

that sounds like duke won't cover lol. i shy away from week 1 and keep tabs on my "hunches" see if my instincts are good out of the gate.

Northwestern -3 is kind of a trap. That Boswer kid Looked really good for UCF.
I have no idea how good Michigan State is but northwestern only being a coin flip at home it’s kind of scary. I do like North Carolina tonight if they are for real they should dust Virginia Tech

Feel like Under is a better play in NW/Mich St. Both teams don't look that great offensively.

That was a hell of a parlay. Was UCF close on the failed 2 pt conversion in the 4th?

Knocked out at the 1.5 yard line. They started from the 8, so I assume a false start (I was asleep). If so, I hope the OL gets crabs.

If UCF just handed the ball to Bowser he gets the 2.
The RG false started after Gus Malzone(who is under rated terrible coach) called a TO.
It was a going to be an inside run before the penalty.

On the second try from the 8 the QB scrambled after everything was covered and he got drilled at the 2. He was hurt on the play.
The UCF QB was the only reason that UCF didn’t blow them out.
He made 2 horrible INTs that gave Boise 14 points.
He is a frustrating player as he makes a lot of plays but dumb ones as well.

UCF is going to fizzle out. They made a bad hire.

Does Gophers defense suck or is tOSU that good? In the end I got +14 at my book and it was a push.

Ohio State QB is young and not ready yet.
The Ohio State OL is so good they will be able to run and just throw short passes till the QB gets better.
Ohio State offense will be fine their WR put double moves on Minnesota DBs and scored two easy TDs.
Ohio State defense is not NC good.

They can be thrown on by good teams. They are solid at run defense but Ohio State isn’t going undefeated this year.

I got the number at 13.5 and they were lucky to cover. That fumble call should have been targeting and they couldn’t stop the Minnesota passing game.
It was just Minnesota couldn’t stop any Ohio State offensive player in space.

I agree with most of that and would add that the OSU freshman RB (Henderson? #32?) is going to be a beast.
