There are a number of games where the underdog looks inviting to me opening week.  I like a couple, maybe three to be outright upsets.  Of the dogs listed below, which ones do you view as covering or possibly even winning out right?  Lines from 5Dimes.......

ULL + 10.5  (Arkansas).....Rutgers + 10  (Fresno St.).....Northern Illinois +3 (Iowa).....Ohio +21  (Louisville).....Miami, Oh +18 (Marshall).....FIU + 20.5  (Maryland).....FAU +32.5  (Miami).....Central Michigan + 32.5 (Michigan).....Western Michigan + 27  (Michigan St.).....Louisiana Tech + 13.5  (N. Carolina St.).....UTSA + 3  (New Mexico.....Buffalo + 36.5  (Ohio St.).....SMU + 6  (Texas Tech).....Syracuse + 7.5  (Penn St.).....Utah State +2.5  (Utah).....Boise State + 4  (Washington).....Western Kentucky + 4.5  (Kentucky)

I like Utah State and Northern Illinois to win straight up with a lean toward Boise State and Western Kentucky to do the same.  If you had to pick "three dogs" from this list to cover...who would you play?

Thanks............................

Very interesting that you have Rutgers listed and I sure hope you wrong. :)

Urban, when the line hit 10, Rutgers became of interest to me.  At the opener of 8.5 or even 9, then I think Fresno was the play.  Ten scares me.  Long cross country trip a drain on a team but Rutgers has a chance to be pretty good IF they get some decent play out of their back seven. Big if I know especially with Fresno's firepower.

If I had to pick 3 of those to cover, I'd go with Central Michigan +32.5, Boise State +4, and Syracuse +7.5 .

No Wyoming love - gunslinger at QB and a 4 TD line 
Coach Christesen travels well , sporting a nifty 16-5 ATS mark as a road dog L4 - Nebraska D not a top shelf type unit
Cowboys should be able to keep this within the number , and of course there is always the back door cover

i thought i was the only one on wyoming. They also kept most games close last season except for the boise. And i think Boise could give Nebraska a hell of a scare. Also a backdoor cover like you said so im rolling wyoming, they are gold ATS.
