I like A&amp;M, Jimbo always has a game plan for Clemson, Clemson lost a lot on DLSU Should murder TexasAuburn in a let down spot against a very good cupcake?Do not just Michigan on their week 1 performanceMichigan State has absolutely no offense... Again

jwheels86 · Answer

I was looking at the Spartans solely because of the low line at home against who they are playing coming off of perception, if they can&#x27;t cover 16 this week, then let&#x27;s be honest.. They are in some serious trouble, if they win like 24-7 tops that would be a concern but they should still cover this week, I just don&#x27;t know if I want to put my money on it...

jwheels86 · Answer

Also looking at Ole Miss, Fresno State, and USC. Makes no sense for USC to be favored even at home here right? So we know what that can mean...

why tennessee my friend ? byu is solid club, and tenny kinda sucks it seems

jwheels86 · Answer

If they had to go on the road I wouldn&#x27;t feel good enough to pull, football is such a week to week and perception based sport for how we make our money doing this.. and when a teams stock is FULLY all the way at the bottom, as theirs is.. You get short lines like this in a night home game and KNOW you&#x27;re gonna get their absolute best effort and no look ahead spot. Do I feel as good about it as other plays? of course not, but I like to take chances on teams in spots as this at home when I know they just simply aren&#x27;t as bad as they played the week prior and are hearing it from the universe about how embarrassing they are.. and it&#x27;s worked very well for me to go with my gut instincts in games exactly like this in the past, the perception dictates the reality of the betting public lines.

&#xA; &#xA;USC would of smashed Fresno St if not for turnovers&#xA; &#xA;Losing their QB has me a bit hesitant though.....Daniels can sling it and looks confident....They probably miss him...

GamblinDAWG · Answer

I&#x27;m rolling with Miami -6. They essentially had a BYE week to fix some things and allow their freshman QB to learn and grow. UNC coming off a really emotional win vs USCjr. This line appears to be manipulated by both teams&#x27; first game results.

jwheels86 · Answer

It&#x27;s certainly Miami or nothing in this game for me as long as it stays under a TD.. I just wish it was a fg on the road, Miami still not a team I feel comfortable with just laying road chalk in conference play. But Im gonna probably end up doing it and give them a shot, if they are good enough to cover against UF, then they should certainly be good enough to win against an entirely worse in every category UNC team getting more respect than they deserve coming off week 1,Canes SHOULD win and cover in this game, IMO...

PCnfl · Answer

I like the Ten pick but i am not sold on Nebraska. They did not look great in week 1, I would rather take a flyer on Colo + 4 than try to lay 4 with a Nebraska team that had trouble moving the ball against South Alabama last week.

I&#x27;m on Tennessee as well, but I&#x27;ll have to admit that I&#x27;m a little concerned about it. Did you watch Jeremy Pruitt in the post game interview? That dude looked and acted like anything and everything, other than a football coach, who had just walked off the field, in what was Tennessee&#x27;s worse loss of all time. He wasn&#x27;t mad...didn&#x27;t look sad...wasn&#x27;t pissed off.. didn&#x27;t even looked shocked. I hope the players took the loss a hell of a lot worse than he did...because he looked like he had zero fight in him.. But barring another total letdown, I believe they are just too much for BYU...

jwheels86 · Answer

I think he was trying his very best not to put it all on the players and their mental errors, I mean on one snap they literally had a DE lining up  2 yards deep, right behind a flared out DT with 2 down linemen and not a single player lined up over either the Center or either OT&#x27;s.. That&#x27;s absolutely something that won&#x27;t continue and whether its on them or him, it won&#x27;t keep happening. Again, when you watch these games in full again, take notice of the little things, did they get beat because they are just so awful, or was it because they did everything wrong lining up and executing? The way I see it is simply this, I know they&#x27;re better than that, and BYU offense isn&#x27;t enough to scare me off the home team, After all, Vols still had 400 plus yards of offense but they just didn&#x27;t put it in down in the red zone.. If they lose this week, ill take my loss and know exactly how to fade them the rest of the season, because if they stink it up again, you can bet your money with certainty in the SEC schedule that they will get covered on no matter the large numbers bloat up to against Florida on the road and UGA the top East teams on their schedule. If they really are this bad, then each of Gators and Dawgs will both beat them by 28 plus.

jwheels86 · Answer

Everyone was high on Nebraska last week to start the year, and I stayed away from too big of number.. Now the opposite is true, I think it&#x27;s a good time to play a small line with them against a team they should have beat last year and will want to get revenge on this year. If Nebraska is warranted of any of the hype they&#x27;ve received by most (worst record the year prior in CFB to be ranked following pre-season since Alabama 2000 3-9) then you&#x27;re gonna see it this week. I think we will see it from the Huskers Saturday.

GamblinDAWG · Answer

What is the UNDER at for Tennessee and BYU? That might be worth a look... I don&#x27;t feel comfortable wagering anything on the Vols at the moment.

tideman · Answer

Agree with all that. I would have just liked seeing some fire in his gut...smash the wall or desk... cuss a little... rant about how bad of a job he and his coaching staff did getting them ready to play, all while being spitting mad. I&#x27;ll tell you who he reminded me of.. Mike Shula... never seen that SOB do anything other than smile and clap whenever Bama made a bad play... always made me want to throw my beer through the TV.. Oh well, I know Tennessee is better, lets just hope they play like it.

jwheels86 · Answer

Oh believe me, Shula used to get pissed and let it out, just not in front of the media or cameras. I saw plenty of it lol

concavecapital · Answer

Spartans won the turnover battle by 3Held Tulsa to -73 rushing yards And only scored ONE offensive touchdown And did not cover.   only way you lay the points is if the offense isn&#x2019;t allowed to take the field

steponaduck · Answer

Awesome insight here. Is it really that easy?

LonghornHoosier · Answer

murder is a strong word...LSU will be fortunate if they get out of Austin with a win...no play for me as a homer.   I think right now LSU is the more complete team, but bet against Tom Herman at your own risk...Aranda is an elite DC for LSU, but Todd Orlando at Texas is good as well.   The O&#x27;s have improved...AT HC its M v M, Mensa v. Moron...It will be interesting to see if it turns out to be a close game, with the game on the line, he will make the right decisions, and come out on top.  As an alumnus of Texas, I hope it will be our side...

Added: Michigan (-21)

Atlanta · Answer

JWheels, like the A&amp;M pick. As you said, UT and Nebraska both looked poor last week. Unlike you, I would not play UT. They even lost a lot of their fan base last week. An early screw up (and they are capable of creating one) and it will be hard to tell who is the home team at Neyland. After week 0, I didn&#x27;t think your Gators were the 2nd best team in the SEC east, but now I think they may be. Mullen has got to find a QB, and Franks isn&#x27;t it.

Atlanta · Answer

I like your Bearcat bet as well.
