how is SMU going to handle that TCU D when they were destroyed by the NTEX D? that -20 seems cheap. short week for both but TCU had the advantage with a warmup game.....
happy with my haw-16 but was really hoping for a buff +7......

as bad as BGr are i'd worry about a big MD letdown here. they played the TEX game as tribute to McNair kid who died in practice and canada galvanized the team.....but no real reason to get up for BGr on the road.....bleh. if line rises may be a good spot for BGr 1h?
i'm in Md and i think there is a good chance Durkin is gone....canada likely to get the interim tag.
then again Md may just jump out to a 21-0 start........

puffkit, you are correct about a potential emotional letdown. I may live to regret this one. I'm pretty sure I have something against BGSU HC Mike Jinks (seemed in over his head on more than 1 occasion in his first two season as a HC). But at least he hired the right assistant coach so that he could get a real QB last year. I think Maryland has a major advantage in their O-Line vs. BGSU's run defense. I think this will be a high scoring game with Maryland scoring at will.

TCU in a lookahead spot with Ohio State next, but SMU down 36-0 to NT through 3 qtrs is alarming. Looks like a rebuilding year for Dykes. Some O-Line health issues for SMU as well at the moment. Inside of -21, I'll take TCU for a small play.
And Buffalo +6.5 is the best I've seen.

I have Arkansas pegged at -14. I don't think this game will be close at all, Colo St's returning production is abysmal in a already weak team. This game shouldn't be close. I wouldn't be surprised if the Razorback won by 24+.

GOod luck TD - I will be all over Clemson this week!!!
Texas A&M is talented, but very young at a few positions. Clemson typically plays up a notch in these key games against better competition. I would line this game at closer to -14.

Working on revised PR#s right now myself.... I have -12.6 as of right now for this game. And that is with a revised # for CSU that means they didn't cover in weeks 0 & 1 by 5.5 and almost 15 points. CSU arguably should still be even lower in my ratings. CSU is a mess on defense. Going again the fast pace that Morris wants to run will be very tough on CSU I believe.

I have a strong feeling that the public will be all over Clemson, moving this line to the +14 I am looking for.

I like the Maryland pick. What an anvil over their heads for the last month. They really have to feel good about themselves and should be itching to pour it on.
On another note, TD you be ashamed of yourself getting these great lines and posting them as they are no longer available to readers. I say this "tongue in cheek" as last month I registered on the RXforum with the handle "VegasKnows". They had a few nice threads like "injuries/suspensions" and "Big10" to which I contributed best I could. Then it happened! I post my week 1 lines with ND +2.5 and Neb. -20.5. Right away I get a poster saying those numbers not available in last three weeks and I shouldn't be posting old lines. Then another, a veteran, saying there are always fudgers and liars here. So I answered with yes, three of my picks are from June, one from July. Not far off of current lines so I never thought of clarifying that. Next year I'll call you in June when I bet. (I really didn't believe them)Then the veteran tells me "Let me tell you how your going to post, Only lines that still exist". I told him I'll post what the hell I got, good or bad. They promptly emailed a MOD who promptly entered my post and told me "If I get -6 at 7am and post it at 4pm when the line has moved to -7 or -7.5, I'm in the wrong! WTF. Those are called "stale" lines.
I promptly said GOODBYE!
So TD, please no "stale" lines!!!

UNIMAN, the openers I deal with (attempt to deal with) move in literally seconds. My routine is to get all of my BOL openers locked in and then post immediately -- best I can do, while still taking care of myself and not missing out on the next available line I may be targeting.
Even in the long offseason where all FBS vs. FBS lines are available in May and even some are available offshore in January during the playoff games, I lock in my play and post it immediately.
He!l, last season I listed my leans on a Friday or Saturday before they came out a few times -- probably not a good idea to tip my hat a certain way, but I've done this before. BTW, I would encourage everyone to continuously try to be looking ahead a full week for spots and to keep a close eye on those teams and their opponents in the current week.
When I started posting picks a few years ago, I really wanted to "earn my keep" and let my record alone speak for itself. If I post a "really good" opening line within a few minutes of locking it in, I don't want that to be seen as a negative. I would hope that people would see that and say to themselves, "this guy knows what he's doing and I trust that I can have a real conversation with him about wagering on college football". You end up having a conversation with others about what you would play the line up to. I don't see anything wrong with that approach and discussion.

TD, your picks are always damn good. The fact you go through all the trouble of grabbing those early lines are commendable!! Job well done, IMO. I know they move in seconds!!
I mentioned you in my RX post, not by name of course. I said I know a guy who gets the early offshore lines. GOOD FOR HIM!!
My post above is all in jest! Not being able to post what you got is ridiculous! What a joke.
In fact that line I posted of ND +2.5 early in the week that caused all the hurt feelings pended up being available all day Saturday! LOL.

Sounds good, UNIMAN. I felt like I needed to for a minute there.
I just saw your week 1 results. Very nice start to the season! Best of luck in week 2.
