@steponaduck
Have to agree as going to the cage for them to count out the winnings is always a better feeling or stopping by the barber shop to pick up the thick envelope. Loved putting in the quarters and half dollars in the machine in AC back in the day. Now it is just points and feels to computer like.
Made me chuckle to think of those days and brought a smile.
Have a good one Mr. Duck and a great season.

added Utah as it dropped on bookmaker so I purchased -7 flat for -138.
was talking to another forum member about this, but hard to not like the Iowa team total over 31/32 ish (vegas implied with a spread of 20-21 and a total of 43). with the motivational factors being revamped on offense, incentives for the OC for achieving 25 PPG and a chance to pad the average vs a (potentially) bad Utah STate team (not to mention he may not keep his job if the 25 PPG is not achieved, time for Iowa to drop the hammer in this spot, or at least I would be willing to bet they score at least 5 TDs in this one. will wait and see if I can get a 31, and maybe a 1H o.u 17?

i don’t care what’s going on at NW, getting a +7 here seems like it’s risen too high. If I don’t like what I see, I paid to see Rutg win a conference game by more than 7.
@steponaduck - impressive card on those futures. I really like the every week action of NCAAF futures. 
Can always hedge if needed and the wager lasts all season.
Thanks for bringing CAL to my attention, slammed em early. But most importantly buddy as a fellow handicapper who primarily focuses on (unders/potential Star Injuries with RSW) you’ve given me some NCAAF RSW Unders to study!!!
Digging deep, the full moon long gone… HOWWWL. Wolfeman
@wolfeman3
I love betting unders on RSW. the public loves favorites and overs...its always been that way. its more exciting rooting for the better team and lots of points...to be optimistic, etc.
if you add up all of the RSW win totals and do the math accordingly, there arent enough games to be played for every team to go over...which means the market shades to the over, and there is typically value on the under, in RSW...almost always. therefore, the overwhelming majority of my RSW plays are under...on teams losing key contributers, new coaching staffs, losing a 3 year starter at QB, decimated on the offensive / defensive line, harder schedule, etc.
one interesting one is San Jose State...I think they will be a good team, ATS, but I project them to start 1-5
@ USC
Oregon State
Cal Poly (win)
@ Toledo
Air Force
@ Boise State
So after that stretch, where is their mindset going to be. Do players check out, do coaches start playing younger guys to build on 2024. the intra-season mindset of a team is so unique in how that takes shape when a team starts out poorly. Could they get hot and battle back to 6-6, yes...but with odds of o/u 5.5 at +125 to the under, its a safe bet with good odds that they wont, and if so, I will have plenty of chances to hedge at + money and "get out of it" without losing anything.

saw Northern Ill. drop quick at BM so jumped on...not afraid of the big card...feel really strong about my research and my positions.
may also add UTSA -1, seems like a strong tell seeing them go from +2.5 to -1 on the road in Hou 1st game as a B12 member.
Def seems like Fresno could be on a ML list .. I dont expect them to be nearly as strong on O but the D could just keep it a close game... Gotta like that Fres has shown up in their big non cons going back to Tedford's first stint and Deboer kept that going .. all those Bulldog teams were stronger but man o man gotta look at Purdue and wonder where the heck they're even at.. Phil put them below NW .. maybe they still are lol .. just seems like a wide variance for where both teams could be totally get why the line dropped to 4.5 .. and seems like more risk that Purdue could be 'figuring things out' week 1.. Fres w E.Wash on deck minimal distractions ..
Gun to head 3 teamer .. Fresno, UTEP.. mmm.. eesh .. next one's hard lol ..
Awesome post SJSU has been on the rise past 4-5 years…let’s hope they steal an early home game. 
As always, a projected poor Team will be gunning for that .500 record to reach a bowl. I’m also really Digging the reports from camp early on with Spartans as well.
Make it rain this season….
very interested to watch and learn what hawaii brings in week 0, in anticipation for their "week 1" game at home against Stanford
Stanford is said to he historically bad this season, and they do not have the personnel to run the system Taylor wants to run on the Farm. with the travel involved, and the following week Stanford plays USC AND then Sac State (where their HC came from) certainly he has to have that one circled in red ink on the slate. will be interested to see when Stanford goes out to the island, and their coaching staff's mentality on the game. could definitely see them . seeing what they have on the roster, in prep for week 2 showdown against USC and then home opener against sac state.

fading Tree here in their opener on the road at Hawaii. See this power rated closer to 4.5/5. Have 0 faith in Stanford at this point. The time to play them will be hopefully off a loss to sac state where they are catching 30 against the men of Troy
@combato
I am not 100% sold on either side. I did take a position on San Diego State early. Ohio has a very porous defense and I am worried about their ability to defend the pass, also the LONG travel trip here would be concerning for ohio.
I know the bobs were hot at the end of the season last year, but they played some horrifically bad teams in the MAC...not sold they can travel across country and beat the Teks, in their own house. and if the game is close, would anyone be suprised with a 34-28 SDSU win, covering all numbers posted?
Hey Combato - Where have you been? ;)
I think that I may take a stab at @SDSU -4 in Week 0...GL this season!
