(I bet this at 18 but will post current so I don't start the season off having to defend a line against a newbie with testosterone levels above 900)
faster pace will help them get in the endzone more often this year for sure and Kent St is putrid, should be smooth sailing here and have this covered at the half, week 1 gimme IMO, take advantage
I agree with your thinking on Penn State, but I'm thinking that the Kent State UNDER may be the best play here.

thanks for kind words everyone, way too nice to me
not going to hit a few others yet because I'm not worried about the line movement
for example
- Clemson can be any number under 10 and I'll prob make it large, they are going to thoroughly stomp Auburn right in the azzz, that game may be close for a quarter before the hurricane comes, just my opinion (all I need to see here is Watson make it to game week at 100% and then it's on), line currently at 7.5, you can get an SEC home dog at over a touchdown, get in line
-not sure what to make of FSU's QB situation at the moment, they are stacked and will be really good by year's end but I don't know what kind of air attack they will have in game 1, need to keep an eye on that one, will Ole Miss slow down Cook and make them throw? need to get up to speed on Ole Miss as well, they've been a solid group last few years under Freeze and always have good talent on that team
-Bama/USC game should be ugly and slow if Browne wins the Trojans starting job at QB, if Darnold wins it then USC could scare them for a while (he can create much better and is the better choice IMO, big goofy statues don't bode well vs Bama) the two programs haven't been close for years now and while USC always has unreal athletes I just don't know what to expect from Helton, can he really get that squad ready for the likes of Bama in game 1? several unknowns for Bama as well but they have been in all out reload mode recently, this line feels high but Bama can easily just beat them 24-10 with a conservative gameplan, not sure what I'll do here but super excited to see the game with these two all time elite programs
- nd/texas will really depend on the Texas offense in my opinion, a blowout game last year, are the two teams that much different? Texas should have a more Briles like offense but can they get production out of a QB? if they can keep ND on their toes with some fast paced offense and get an early lead in that brutal heat then you never know, this game isn't as straight forward as it was last year, ND seemingly has edge in coaching & QB

Kent St. tt under should be golden- I am leaning 1st h under on the Bama game as well. I am trying to wrap my head around FSU/Ole Miss- I think the Seminoles win easy but I am trying to look at more angles on that one- GL everyone!
Boise St. tt over should be easy $$$ as well-

The Boise v. LaLA start is at 11am CST, 10am MST...LaLA is according to Steele improved, and I am concerned that Boise may sleep walk through the first half (like Stan at NW last season in week 1)...It appears that LaLa has been able to practice. No play for me, and yes I considered Boise, with their amazing O, but the D, no matter the swagger coming out of Boise, concerned me in week 1...GLTA

First of all, welcome back and I look forward to another great season of hearing your thoughts. I have respected you for years.
As for the Clemson AU game, that line scares me half to death, and is the reason I am not playing it. I rarely let a line make any kind of decision for me on a bet, if ever, but these guys thoroughly impressed me in the NC. Yes, they lost a lot especially on the defensive side, but I do not see anything coming from AU that tells me that they can contain Watson for the entire game. This is just a no play for me, and a great game to watch. Strangely, as an Alabama fan who is supposed to hate AU, I am pulling for them in this one. (Stranger things have happened, and GL with your bet my friend.)
As for FSU, a buddy of mine goes to all the scrimmages and he says that Francois is a very talented redshirt freshmen, and although he has never taken a snap, he is by far better than last years QB. Ex Noles and NFL guys have only positive things to say about him. He also said that the WRs are looking great, so if they key on Cook, it won't be an issue. Regardless though, I do not see them containing Cook very well with the loss of both Nemdichi's and several other key defensive players who contributed to stopping the run. The only change I give Ole Miss here, is if Kelly goes wild and has a huge game and keeps them in it, which is a tall order with an amazing FSU secondary, and pass rush, and Ole Miss starting RB out. I like FSU here, but it is another I am just going to have fun watching. I MIGHT play it since it is Monday if I have won my other bets.
Few things to tell you about the Bama game... We are starting Hurts, and the players are comparing him to Watson at this point. He is making some really amazing LBs look just bad in practice and scrimmages. We have one of the best groups of recievers at Bama that I have ever seen, with Calvin Ridley leading the way, so no I do not see them doing much when we pass the ball, and the run game will be solid as well with Trent Richardson 2k16 in the backfield. Our secondary is one of the best I have seen too, with an unbelievable pass rush. Eddie Jackson and Minka Fitzpatrick both got pick sixes last season. I am all over Bama -9 and I have them in a teaser with LSU.
Hope all this is helpful to you bro.
