freak, 

two things i'd like your opinion on.....

tulane +10 1H ... hard to imagine WF getting a fast start

ga st/ball st 1H u26.5....ga st returns 9 on an excellent D....ball st returns 9 on poor D but would think that only improves. ga st loses arbuckle and poor rb core. ball st has some O pieces ( + a young O line) but doesnt seem to me anything ga st D can't handle. this game seems a bit of a plodder....

I LOVE Wake +10 1st half if that's available!!!

I have no capped my Ball State/Georgia State game, but my inclination would be to side with Georgia State.

The only person on this planet that thinks Lane Kiffen firing was unjustified is Lane Kiffen himself.

Dont know why Nick Saben even is wasting his time on this loser,
He has critical insight on how USC plays AND he has a grudge!

Kiffin was pretty much a disaster at every head coaching gig he had, but he has more than proven himself as the OC of Alabama.  There really isn't much to criticize unless you just hate his Joey Freshwater persona.

If Georgia St can get decent QB play, they will light up the Ball ST secondary. I like Georgia St much more than any total play on this game.

I am really shocked to see you on Tulane +17.  I get your angle with it being projected as a low scoring game.  And the fact that Wake had a hard time scoring 17 points themselves last year.  But generally speaking, triple option teams fair much better facing teams that have less time to prepare for them.  Wake has to go to Duke the following week, so maybe the prep time isn't solely for Tulane during the summer.  But I bet there is a majority of time spent on it.

Add to all that, this is Tulane's first year running that offense.  The skill guys will adjust fine but the offensive line play will be lacking.  Especially in week 1 vs a superior defensive front.  Tough to run the option when there's penetration.  And I believe Wake's front 7 is good talented enough and athletic enough to cause Tulane some major problems.  

And I really don't like anything about Tulane's defense.  (Other than the fact that they are going up against Wake's offense lol) But really, that defense is probably in for a long day.  
Could easily see a score of 31-3 in this one.  But that's just me.

I'm not completely sold on Wake -17, a TON of points.  But I am partial to the under.  

Regardless, BOL Jimmy

As I have said on numerous occasions, I think the UNDER is a solid play.

Wake has played Army four consecutive years now.  The results are as follows:

2012 - Wake 49, Army 37 (12-point win)

2013 - Wake 25, Army 11 (14-point win)

2014 - Wake 24, Army 21 (3-point win)

2015 - Wake 17, Army 14 (3-point win)

Wake has NEVER beaten Army by more than 17 points, and they aren't going to do it to Tulane tomorrow night either.

The good news for Wake is that they won all four matchups.  The other good news for Wake is that they are experienced at defending the triple option, which is good news for those holding UNDER tickets.

If Tulane can muster 14 points in this game - and I'm very confident they can and will - they'll cover the 17.

Tulane brings back almost their entire defense, including two 1st Team All ACC players.  The betting public seems to be under the illusion that because Tulane was in completely disarray under Coach Curtis Johnson last season, that they will be equally in disarray this season under Willie Fritz.  I think the insulation is an absurd one.  I look for Tulane to be much improved across the board, but particularly on defense.  This is a game where the first team to 17 probably wins.

If not for Wake's HFA, I think this game is a veritable coin flip.  I certainly wouldn't be shocked to see Tulane to win the game outright.

Tulane +17 is the play in my humble opinion.

Yes, sorry.  I LOVE Tulane +10 (1st half).  I think if Tulane scores anything in the 1st half, they'll cover the 10.

There is a good chance I'm underestimating Tulane's defense.  It is certainly one of the main "risk" factors in me backing the under.  That and the fact that it's set at 43!  

I can see where you correlate your Tulane play with Wake's last 4 years vs Army.  I just don't think Tulane will be running their offense at that efficiency this early tho.  

However, I can't play Wake -17 and hope and think you'll cash your Tulane wager

It's not like Army has been an offensive juggernaut when playing Wake either.  They scored 37, 11, 21 & 14.  I figure I only need Tulane to score 14 to cover, and I feel pretty confident they can do that.

FYI, USC left tackle Chad Wheeler is out for the Alabama game.  Wheeler is struggling with a case of plantar fasciitis.  Wheeler is USC's most experienced lineman with 34 career starts.  That foists former 5* recruit and redshirt freshman Chuma Edoga into the starting role.

What do you think of FSU (-4.5) vs Ole Miss and also Tulsa (-5) vs SJSU?

Their offenses arent hard to find information on. Ole miss' d is still a question for me. FSU d is returning 6 starters, finished 9th in allowed points per game (17.5) and didnt allow anyone except Houston to score over 25 points and that was in the bowl game. They finished 4th in yards per pass and 10th in yards per play. Sounds like FSU d is legit and is gonna be tough for Chad "the felon" Kelly. Ole miss d is still a mystery to me. Any help?

The Bama defensive line is going to eat Max Brown's lunch. I hope he doesn't give Bama any short fields...

im really not feeling either side right now in that Ole Miss game, too many unknowns for such a close matchup. I'd like to get at least 7 to pull on Ole Miss but I don't want to bet on a true Freshmen QB in his first game against what has been a very good SEC defense the last few years, also with some unknowns of it they can keep it up this year. My gut says FSU wins but I don't know by how much...

That 5 is no mans land for me.  I was looking to back SJST @ 7 or better.  I can't mess with the 5 though.

With all of the off-field distractions in Oxford, I'm not really looking to back Ole Miss early in the season.  I doubt I'll play it, but if I did, my money would back the Seminoles.
