To win you have to stay ahead of the curve. It is apparent that both in college and the NFL that the QB position has become more and more important. I don't believe these power ratings and the complex algorithms that the math nerds employed by the books use to create these lines can possibly incorporate this into their spreads. The percentages tell me that for every Jamies Winston or johnny Manziel that are successful right away there are a hundred deer in the headlights that either flop or go through a long learning curve. Week one I try to bet against those teams that are starting a new QB or a bunch of rookie O-linemen.

Betting against underdog freshman QB's when they open on the road is a good strategy, particularly when you cannot run the ball against a good run defense.

Houston 11/55 UTSA

76.1+HF 5 67.3 = Houston 13.8

First game in Houston's new on campus stadium .. Not sure i eould lay a penny on this ATS ! But how is the total only 55 ????? The Cougars scored 59 by themselves last year in this match up. I have to throw down a small $55/50 on this Fishy over right now ..

Houston 37-24

Ohio St. 12/55.5 Navy

84.3 +4 Hf 76.6 =Ohio St -11.7

.. Buckeyes futures have dropped big time with the Miller injury .. Navy has their best team on paper in some time . Buckeyes may play with a big chip on their shoulder .. Game looks like a total pass , was hoping for Navy with 20+ before the Injury ..Likely rooting for Navy to Win S/Up with a wimpy $10 on the ML

Ohio St. 32-20

UCLA 21.5/58 *Virginia

87.6 74.3 +hf+3 =UCLA-10.3

Virginia was the first wager i made more than a month ago catching 24 points .. hoping the number climbs back before kickoff .. UCLA will be very good this season , just do Not think they should be laying more than 3 TD's on the road Vs what should be a very prepared Cavs squad .. Virginia will be much improved this season . Especially on defense .. Over 3.5 season wins is my largest futures wager so Far ..UCLA wins but it wont be easy

UCLA 33-21

Michigan 34/54 App. St.

80.4 HF+4.5 50 = Michigan -34.9

Should be a thirsty Michigan after getting waxed By Kansas st to close out last season . The Mountaineers have some nice pieces on offense and could go over the team total ( hoping for 9.5?).. Ratings say odds makers are sharp ..

Michigan 47

App st 13

Troy 1/66.5 *UAB

56.4 50.2+3Hf = Troy-3.2

Just a pass, but the total does look high for these 2 entering this season .. Trojans lose all-time leading passer Corey Robinson ..UAB is rebuilding with new HC Bill Clark

Troy 31-28

Northwestern 10/62 CAL

81.9 +3HF 67.6 =NW -17.9

My Point spread Ratings really like the Wildcats , i have a bad feeling about this one .. Something tells me the backdoor is wide open .. Bears record might not show it , but i feel they will be much more competitive this season

Psr Northwestern 40-23

Gut Northwestern 37-27

NC St. 22.5/53.5 GA Southern

72.8 hf+4 50 =Nc St26.8

NC St 37-13

Nebraska 24/51 FAU

77.1+4.5 Hf 58.3= Nebraska -23.3

Tempted to the over .. Just better games to put $$ on

Nebraska 40-16

61.7 46.7+1HF =BC -14.7

Boston College 31-17

Marshall 24/59 *Miami Oh.

78.8 53.7/HF+2 = Marshall -23.1

Marshall might go 12-0 this season . The schedule is a joke , Rakeem Cato might be in the Heisman race ( on him at 85-! For $15 ) Miami Ohio should be more competitive once MAC play begins .. this game is Over or nothing for me

Marshall 45-21

Alabama 26/55.5 West Virginia

97.6 74 = Alabama -23.6

Tide should be full of piss and vinegar after getting smashed by Oklahoma .. Hoping for 28+ so i can put down a measley $30 on the Neers .. Already on Alabama Under 10.5 wins ...

Alabama 40-17

Auburn 21/57.5 Arkansas

91.6 HF+4.5 78.1 =Auburn -18

Predicting Auburn comes out with a slight hangover . Odds makers tend to agree with Suburn under 9.5 carrying Juice .. Arkansas shoukd pull off a couple of upsets this season . Dont think this is the spot , but i see a tight one into the 4th qtr.

Auburn 35-20

Georgia 7.5/57.5 Clemson

92.6 HF+4.5 82.1= GA -15.1

Amazed at how many have Georgia in their 4 school playoff .. Richt will easily choke away a few games this season .. No idea why this spread is under Double Digits ?? Clemson loses all world Sammy Watkins,Boyd etc .. Tigers still may go 9-3 with some very winnable games on the schedule ..I am on SC -2 Huge vs Georgia in week 3 .. Might just sit back and root for Clemson with no money riding .

Georgia 36-21

Kent St. 3/49.5 Ohio

57.4 +2.6hf 57 = Kent st -3

As stated I Am an avid MAC follower .( for what it is worth) .. Strongly feel Ohio is headed for its first losing season since 2008. Kent st lost its 2 best players ( Dri Archer & Roosevelt Nix)..but do have more to work with than Ohio ,Imnho..I am taking a wait and see on both..

Kent st. 26-23

95.2+Hf+5 63.3 = Okl 36.9

Oklahoma 43-6

USC 21/58 Fresno st .

90-3 +HF 5 70.2 =USC -21.8

Taking 3 points away for USC having At Stanford on deck .. Make no Mistake The Trojans should be Up 24+ at some point " but have serious worries they take the foot off the pedal . The reduction could have been more ,but it is Sark's first game .. Trojans are 1 season away from "The PLAYOFF" Bid .. Will be on USC ML AT Stanford ..Fresni St. Should have some Fire after getting crushed by USC IN THe Vegas Bowl .. Bulldogs have MUCH HARDER SCHEDULE THAN LAST SEASON .. AS Fresno was the CHALK IN 12 of 13 games last season ..At USC, at Utah , Vs Nebraska looks like 0-3 to me !!! . Should be Betting USC team total Over when released if 40 or less ..

USC 48 Fresno St. ???? No idea 0-28????
