MM - yeah like the QB and rest for the ducks...looks like it's gotten up to 28.5 now...BOL this season bud
long wait to the season....some scores and comments......still looking at a couple other possible sides....and eventually totals
Ohio St 55 Oregon St 7 – Buckeyes have run up some scores
over the past few, although not so much last year with ATS losses in similar
30+ spots against UNLV and Army. Similarly Beavers with some large road losses.
UCLA 41 Cincinnati 14 – feeling like Bruins will show up in
CK first game and Bearcats won’t really have a clue on what the offense will
come out with, UCLA defense could be improved despite some losses and Cincy on
decline offensively over the past few.
Oregon 52 BG 14 – BG has given up some big
numbers on the road the last couple years so hard seeing them contain the Ducks
here, and seems Oregon is getting things back together led by Hebert with 32-7
TD-INT ratio over 14 games
Arizona St 41 UTSA 17 – expecting Sun Devils to be ready for
Edwards opener and some nice returning skill position players. Although UTSA
gave ASU all they could handle two years ago in SA (32-28) they were outgained
roughly 470-330 and ASU only punted 3 times and some losses on D
Texas 38 MD 17 – could be sweet revenge spot for the Horns
surprised last year in Austin on big plays so thinking Herman has them ready,
and should be improved team in general. MD loses some skill positions and
speed, and has not been anything special at home although this one is in
Landover….close enough.
Auburn 27 Washington 17 – hmmm ok so a solid P-12 team is
going to come into Atlanta…heart of SEC and beat a solid SEC team, maybe however
we’ll take our chances with short number based on belief Auburn will be tough
on both lines and at skill positions although give QB edge to UW, suppose it
could be like AU games against Clemson the last couple years (13-19, 6-14) if
offense is horrible, except this is not Clemson and expecting improved QB play.
LSU 23 Miami FL 17 – respect what coach has done with Canes
however not that great against the better teams last year, questionable whether
LSU would be considered a better team lately, not sure however believe crazy Ed
will have them ready and expecting improved QB and offense, and defense rarely
gets blown out allowing more than 26 twice over the last couple years
Iowa 24 No Illinois 20 – NIU has a solid defense and usually
gets up for B10 teams. Hawkeyes with some losses and not known to blow teams
out particularly early in the season....outright upset possible
SMU 34 No Texas 30 – seems like the wrong team is favored
here in my view. UNT had some success last year mostly against lesser teams,
and SMU has won the last 3 in series by 13+ and the better team
