I like Navy and the points against Ohio St. Hopefully catch the Bucknuts thinking a little to much about USC.

Also like NCSt. and UAB

Kentucky - MAC isn't good, and Miami isn't even good in the MAC

My favs are Tex, OKSU & Stanford. Had a good read on Big12 last year. Stanford game will be like the perfect storm, IMO. Can elaborate if anyone needs me to.

I am high on LSU per my previous post on this string, but can someone give me a reason why Washington may cover in this game?    Like mentioned earlier, Kentucky may be a play against Miami of Ohio.  Is 16 too much to give by taking LSU?   Thanks in advance.

Minny-6.5 -  This team played very solid last year when healthy.  everyone talks about Decker, but dual threat QB Weber suffered a serious undisclosed knee injury against Michigan last year in game 5, which he suffered thru till years end.  I had this info and it wasn't even certain he was going to play vs. illinois the following week and minny has horrible backups.  I made my biggest wager of the year on the illini -8 who ended up losing outright.  Fucking Zook didn't know Weber couldn't move but i did sitting on my fucking couch.  That bet killed me.  Regardless Minny healthy here against what appears on paper to be a hapless Syracuse squad with a first year couch and a depleted roster. 
 
Oklahoma -21.  this is just a mismatch yet between 2 good teams.  I don't buy the hype on Oklahoma replacing O lineman, they'll be fine in this game, this aint texas.  Stoops can and will win this by whatever he wants which i think will be a lot.  This has potential to be a payback for them getting embarrassed by Boise a few years back against a similar tier school. 
 
Charleston southern +73 vs. gators. Have heard this line is avail in Vegas, if someone sees it online let me know.  5 dimes will have it the week of the game for sure.  Meyer hasn't beaten anyone even close to this bad (unless you look ahead to this years Tennessee game), he scored 70 once vs. the Citedel.  I see only two possible options for UF to cover by 77-0 or 77-3.  This is one of the best plays on the board IMO, if you can find it.

Ice, add another Texas vote for me.

Gamble, if that line was available I'd definitely bite on the +73....I may have to buy it up to 75 though as we all know 74 is a key number.

Great stuff G4. Like the write ups, like the picks as well. Can't see me betting against Gators this year no matter the spread. Love the logic and the research on Gators, can't seem to pull the trigger, even if I could find it. Imagine this headline..."Gators first team in Div 1 to score 100 pts in a game". May have happened before, I don't know, but this is the team to do it to Cha-Sou. BOL.

Tulsa -13.5 at Tulane 

this one looking better every day.....if considering Tulsa better do it now......everything going well for green wave..... except starting  TE Sparks now out with busted knee cap .....and 20 players or so out with flu.....WITH possibility this  may be SWINE FLU.....2 cases recently on campus....
note: they try to fool us now as to not create panic ......you see H1N1....or type A flu > same as swine flu

LSU -16/16.5
LSU's main problems last season were complete inexperience at QB and a new co-DC group which made the defense too complicated. Jarrett Lee is now the #2 QB behind Jordan Jefferson and John Chavis has stepped into the take the reigns at DC.
Washington is a team nearly deviod of talent. Tyrone Willingham did the exact same thing to Sarkisian which he did to Weis: Leave the cupboard bare. UW will come out with a new swagger and play well for at least a quarter/quarter and a half and that is it. They may even hold an early 3 or 6 point lead because Locker isn't a slouch. However, LSU will physically wear this team down and pull away before halftime.
LSU 52-6.

Question - Why would there be a line for Florida v. CS?  I thought only D1 games were lined?  Thanks in advance.
