At first glance and inspection of matchup, I lean to the following with early lines (BET365 not open yet):
OVER CCU-JMAD 52.5
-both past year games went over this and last year JMAD had a -8.5 spread when CCU had McCall at QB and smoked them by over 35 pts
- lean JMAD as a solid teaser KEY down to -2.5 if taking 7 pts and to WIN if you can get 10 pt teaser
- JMAD should be able to get little resistance running and play action vs a soft run defense by CCU
- CCU can run the ball well but also has some good receivers and a decent QB
Maryland -11
-NW doesn't have the passing game or even run game to keep Maryland's defense honest
-Maryland can move the ball well and NW on the road is generally not as stiff of a defense as they are at home
- should be a 2 TD win with NW having to trade scores ..... so if you can get -10, that might be better
- Terps with 2 weeks off and take a look at the NW injury list....very long
Pitt -3.5
-how do you come out east and be jet lagged and motivated, after getting backdoored by Miami?
- they had that game well in hand
- Pitt playing tough games and just know how to win and like the home field very much but have proven themselves away also
Texas -8.5
- I predict a beatdown after losing last year and a shaky QB situation relative to Texas
- Texas two years ago went into Oklahoma and beat them 49-0 and that line was -7.5 for Texas on the road.... Sooners got their revenge last year and now they have to endure a beating haha
- maybe use Texas as a TEASER with Georgia on deck after this game......thread carefully here....but realize HORNS can throw two top QB's at Sooners and not even blink with Ewers and Manning
BYU -3.5
-Fafita for Zona looks clueless this year and throwing picks left and right ..... BYU has a very strong secondary and have had rest
Georgia UNDER 53.5
-with Texas on deck, Georgia is going to need a run game ..... and Miss St are terrible stopping the run so I anticipate plenty of running and this will be a good matchup for the Georgia defense to simulate how to play vs a good QB....as Shapen is decent, but I also expect lots of pressure from Georgia on this O-line
42-10 type of score....maybe 38-14
OLE MISS -2.5
- yes LSU has had 2 weeks to prepare but Ole Miss do not want to take 2 losses and I do not think the LSU defense will be able to handle Kiffin's team if motivated and they will be!!
DUCKS +4.5
Cmon man!!
-will be a TEASER KEY for sure and likely a ML and side play
-ASK YOURSELF, who have the Buckeyes played yet?? Look at their schedule and now they fly out jetlagged to take on a DUCKS team that has had an extra day to prepare and rest
-Buckeyes have yet played a team that can trade blows with them and its a given the Ducks play well at home for years!!
