..... what's the word so far on coach Rocco?.  Pretty experienced team returning.  Do you think some new leadership can help them turn the corner in year 1?  They might be a team in the College Extra betting world that has some value if they can ever find a little more balance on offense.

TD,    I'm beginning to think your Port. St. play has some merit.  Like most games it may come down to ball control. I figure Port. can get 3 or 4 time consumer drives.

Stay Hard,   Doc

Doc, it's back up to +32 on 5D.  If Portland State can muster up enough offense to score 7 to 10 points, I like my chances as I don't see BYU with a new WR corps and especially with that schedule in weeks 2-4 going into blowout mode in the 2nd half.  I'm sure you saw it awhile back, but more detailed thoughts on this game are back in post #68 of this thread.

2017 Preseason (first pass) PR#s:

Non-Power 5 Conferences:  added AAC below
not sure I'm crazy about Applewhite and his new DC at Houston long term, but the talent level will be solid in 2017.  The O-line (now with better experience & hopefully better health) and RBs (add Colorado transfer plus top RBs are back) should allow the running game to improve so their offense is not so reliant on QB play.  The run D with Ed Oliver & Co. should remain strong if they'll play hard for this DC.

AAC:
Houston  79.3
South Florida  77.9
Memphis  75.0
Tulsa  72.0

Rocco is well respected and liked. I met him in the spring and he was speaking about football from high school to NFL. Good speaker, passionate and a good hire imo. I'm not sure how Richmond fans are but UD fans love their football more then breathing and he gets that.

2017 Preseason (first pass) PR#s:

Power 5 Conferences:  added ACC below  .... and a couple tweaks to previous #s

Some random thoughts & comments on a few of these ACC teams.... 

#4 - #6 teams nationally all graded out very close (USC, Washington, & Clemson), and I suspect Auburn will be around #7 when I get through the SEC.  *And really USC needs to be bumped down a notch due to playing 12 straight games alone.  Biggest thing with Clemson that affects their PR# is QB play.  One could bump this # down to start the year until we see what we have at QB.  The front 7 on D should be even better.  If this team can stay hungry off a title and how much of a drop off at QB are the main questions.  I think there's a decent chance Auburn could win straight up early in the year with Carlson making several long FGs.  That may be a good thing for Clemson in the big picture as they seemed to regain focus last year after the Pitt loss.

FSU - biggest concern is that O-line.  Defense looks real tough.

NC State - it's now or never for my man D. Doeren.  If the Secondary can hold up I expect a strong year.  They look solid everywhere else.

Miami - concerns are QB and replacing losses in the Secondary.  If they go into their usual post-FSU funk, then vs. Toledo and at Duke could be tricky games.  But then there's a bye week and I think from then on their PR# could/should go up as the QB & Secondary come along.

Louisville - volatile team from an ATS margins perspective.  Should continue in 2017.

Pitt - this team has quite a bit more raw talent than I realized.  Inexperienced yes, but a couple early non-conf losses may just set up for a nice learning curve going into conference play.  They avoid the toughest teams from the other half of the league and get all season to gain experience before closing with 3 big games that will determine if they can surprise and challenge in the Coastal.

Boston College - their biggest problem is the corners can't match up athletically with the best WRs in this league.  Adjust accordingly on the PR# against those opponents.  Against teams that don't have such an athletic advantage on the perimeter, they'll hold their own from an ATS perspective.  *BTW, NIU does not have these types of WRs.

Syracuse - kinda tough to have them this low.  I do like them in non-conf spots early (CMU game in particular) but its tough to see much 2nd year growth with that schedule from week #4 thru week #10 (or even week #12).  I hope QB Dungey learned to slide because there are some tough defenses all in a row those weeks.  The guy seems to like getting his bell rung. ... New Safety from Notre Dame via JUCO is not eligible now either.

Yeh,  Love the @Mizz, game below the 17 number. Had that one figured.  As with all late season GOY can play it differently and who knows,  maybe a double win.  At 10/21 maybe Mizz. holding back their best players and game plan.  Not a conference game so mostly 2nd team.

Like @Ark. big here but same as above.  9/30 is a rest date for Ark. before the real season starts. Will they cover -23.5?  I like making the play now and working other bets along side.  This one and the above might be 1st half plays.  Not sure TT's will be offered but the underdogs may be plays.

Stay  Hard,    Doc

Nope.... I would encourage you to make some straight bets, unless you're just looking for some fun while in town.

TD, I believe Kraght is starting at QB for portland state? Could be an interesting team if they stay healthy and the defense makes a few stops.
