Love that Oregon St pick. Personally I think they are the dark horse team in the PAC 10. It will be very hard for Tony Pike and CIN  to dictate to OSU like they did to Rutgers. I see OSU coming out on top in this game as well.

Damn, dude.  I agree on all...except no opinion on Syracuse or Ball St.  My card is getting huge again, but I really want to add Arkansas, Oregon St money line, and UCONN.

10.5 way too much here.... I think 6.5 is a fair number.

Baylor is a sexy team this year, and is getting too much respect too soon - and it is reflected in this line.  This is a team that gave up 30+ points a game last year with regularity, I have no reason to believe their defense is suddenly going to be able to stop anyone. 

Uconn gets in trouble when they cant run.  If they cant run on Baylor, they will have problems - but why wont they be able to run?  I love that they lost last week to UNC - a little desperation on their trip to Waco.

10.5 is a big number.

On a few of the same.

Can't see how Virginia has any motivation to even show up for this game.  You know Southern Miss's offense will put up points.  Maybe UVA has a little momentum after finally deciding to run their spread and scoring two td's in the final two minutes against TCU, but I am staying away from this team when they play any team with an offensive pulse because their offense is dreadful.  More than capable of laying a goose egg out there.  USM is good for 30 imo so I'm staying away.

Van, I am interested in your reasoning behind G. Tech.  That is the side that I like as well but I am a little hesitant due to the fact that I believe the "U" will be much more productive on offense this year with the arrival of Whipple and the departure of Nix.  Thanks, and I will be with you on Arkansas and Arizona this Saturday.  Bol to you brother.

UCONN's coach has been quite impressive, as well.  Dude just keeps on delivering.

Would agree with you completely here if it wasn't for the injuries.  Uconn is extremely banged up, not to mention a new QB.  To risky to put money on this already mediocre team given the number of backups playing.  Good luck to you.

Is there anything other than the published injury report that you know about?

Love the card except one pick, Florida.  I know the whole history in the offseason and how Florida wants to win by 50.  I don't think you can justify laying this amount of points though.  The reason why the dog covers more is the fact you aren't laying 29.5, there's a 33%  your laying 36.5 with the backdoor cover when defenses will go into prevent zone.  Same thing in basketball, you arent laying -4, theres a 34% your laying 7 to a wide open uncontested 3 point try.  Tennessee will get rolled on but no way this is the bloodbath most think it will be, every bad gambler will be on this game thinking they have an edge with the recruiting BS and trash talking.  Bye the way I have more respect for your knowledge than anyone else here on covers, well Mr. B too and think this cards win easily if you flat bet it.

Arizona is the one I really like on there, as I think Iowa, like most of the Big Ten, is still overrated.
