still debating, nothing locked in! When a team like LSU gets points I have to at least check it out! 

Adding in:
Washington -9.5

Why UK? Fla owns them and has a great defense.

I think the pace of the game will play into the hands of the home team, plus UF 1st game with a new QB running the offense.  I thought about taking a shot on Kentucky ML, but florida is still a strong defensive team.  I haven't locked this play in yet, but I do think Kentucky has a good chance at keeping this within 2 TD's! (They only gave up 27 to a Louisville team that's been scoring whenever they want)

I agree with You on LSU I feel they win outright Metty has something to prove as all the QB talk in the SEC is about Johnny football and Aaron Murray. LSU has the same weapons as Clemson if not more with Landry, Beckham, Hill and Blue and a much better defense than Clemson. Cam lets the offense go wild this game. Love the 3 they are getting LSU by 10 or more in my eyes.

As you mentioned the one glaring statistic that scares me is UF has BLOWN OUT Kentucky recently. Still not opposed to taking a shot on Kentucky +380, but my feeling is UF will survive and win by 10.  Not a top play by any means, just my opinion! Good luck to you!

Another lean for this weekend:

Alabama at whatever the line is at closer to kickoff.... hopefully people keep throwing money on Ole Miss and get it to 13.5-14

Many questions have been raised about Alabama on both sides of the ball, now they get a ranked opponent at home this Saturday.  It's clear Alabama hasn't been the team that everyone expected coming into the season, however, I see this as a statement game in Tuscaloosa.  The defense shows up and slows a potent Rebels' offense, the Tide score a defensive TD & the offense is able to move the ball on the ground and through the air.  

Tide rolls in this one 34-13

A late night lean: 
Hawaii/Fresno O 58.5

Nope its a gamble no matter what.  Just saying I don't know how you can place a dime on WV after watching that game last weekend-- Okie St. is pretty darn good.  I wouldn't take WV if they were getting 35, but good luck to you- you may very well be right!
