**** Week ZERO ****

@TRAIN69

 Do you see Vandy scoring the majority of the points, or will Hawaii put some points on the board? Line up to -9.5, but I still like Vandy. Thanks for your input.

Good luck this year Train, crush the books.

Good luck bud .. My hangup on the total is Hawaii still playing at the little 8k seat temporary arena this year .. never really got a look at it last year but thinking unlike that giant aloha stadium it might not block out some of that wind that's always creepin out there .. and maybe a couple QB's in this one where wind wouldn't take much to screw up a pass .. unsure what the weather is but yeah something worth checking because might impact a few home games this year ..  

Everyone hop on the $$ Train!! Good luck this year. !! Thanks for the picks and insight Train.

Thanks for sharing Train! Always appreciate it bud

Time for some UDML Talk .. I try to keep them to the under a TD where books think its a comfortable line but maybe not seeing all the angles that could turn a game... the upset curve gets pretty steep when books think favs are over a full TD ... over 14 pts you really gotta get lucky picking likely need +2 turnovers in addition to hoping you got a scrappy dog who came to play .. 

Dogs where books might be a little clueless .. 
CHAR - 9'ers like worst D last year but taggert also improving FAU like he did FSU.. no faith in N'kosi either maybe it clicks this year idk .. hit under for a couple fun bucks because just likely to have ugly weather and Char also a real slow mover burning the clock on O .. but then again O's might be rolling here .. maybe anyone's game .. def wouldn't lay 7 on the Owls lol .. 
MTSU - JMU House gunna be rockin for this game but they got a few guys moved on and ciento the QB ugh idk .. exciting to move up to FBS but not as exciting to lose those deep playoff runs and shots at a championship .. basically lose their identity as a football team .. MT went bowling LY, sure thing 7pt dog we'll see .. really wish this was at home MTSU just always much better there under stockstill .. 'save the best for yer fans' has been great for his job security .. 
TEMP - Yeah duke is a 7 pt fav vs anyone .. just like they were against charlotte LY when they lost .. no holmberg or NFL capable RB .. Riiiiite .. 
TX.ST - juice is out the ML now I got early w the ML's and +10's and 9.5's as soon as I saw the layne train pull into town .. this might actually have a chance to be a real shootout too let's see what Illingsworth can today (he's QB1 right?) ..
OHIO - Down year w the coach leaving and ton back its a team that can bounce back .. not really getting the big + pts but home field vs spotty uncertain FAU team yeah worth a shot .. 

Week Zero picks from a real Zero   

Don't disappoint me and only hit 70% this year

All Aboard!!.....Bol This Year Train.....

UDML TALK Cont'd ... 

My fav UDML teams .. and couple w some real juice still left in'em .. 
ARMY .. agree w duck .. option football not as easy vs Cadets .. McCall usually slick and able to create a pocket w fake option to pass but I think he'll under some real pressure in this one, Army got a legit edge dude .. back/forth on the total think if its fast early it slows, slow early it picks up .. esp if coastal is behind should start slingin it .. maybe an in game special? .. Army always filled w last min depth chart surprises .. guys out because they were too sweaty during roll call,etc ..
ODU .. they got a mismatch vs anyone w that freak list TE and one lock is these little VA teams live to play big VA teams and we've seen ODU show up vs VT before in a big way .. OC step down can't find out why, don't see another job .. maybe another mysterious sudden health issue.. not a big concern we can trust Ricky Rhane to own the O and OL/QB coaches co-oc'in should be fine .. I think that's why we're still getting the 8.5 at some spots should be under a TD in my view .. also don't count on one coach to embarrass the other late, old time colleagues back to vandy and penn st, families def sittin together .. should know each other's game plans well enough to stifle each other to some degree .. would look for a slow Q4 if VT is in fact just rolling .. if ODU is brining it one game this ssn, its this one .. 
GA.ST .. i mean why wouldn't they be in a UDML somewhere .. Ratt better have his new team player attitude going cuz its likely getting tested here .. GA.St w a great run game 2 good RBs found LY sent their 2 yr ret starter Coats into the portal .. much better QB to start this year .. all their pressure guys back .. Cocks been dinged up pretty good in their fall camp too ... Wake RB xfer Beal-Smith looks likely out. Marsh Lloyd dinged for a while might still play.. run game really stunk LY .. Returning Punter likely out .. FG kicker is new only did KO's LY .. ST probs can really add up .. FG save'd em vs ECU LY when they ran the ball for like 2/carry .. I don't think its unfair to say Panthers are basically 2-0 vs the SEC in 3 yrs either, Auburn got a miracle LY.. 

Couple of moneyball dogs to maybe tack on .. good luck train can't wait to see what yer thinkin on the UD's this year .. good luck bud! 

S.FLA .. wish we were getting more pts .. been raining in fla every day for weeks but could be hot n sticky too .. hard to imagine Scott just turns the team around in one off ssn but fair to say they finally at least have a QB, plus a zillion guys back .. whenever Scott's O clicks it should go off like a stick of dynamite .. unfortunately the timer on the bomb could still be a few more years away lol .. BYU's D was suspect LY in too many games to not think they could get surprised in this spot ..  
CMU .. can Nicholls consistently help them extend drives is the question .. Pokes DL looks maybe even better w a few good players back from injuries but replacing quite a bit behind them, still a fairly experienced group tho.. def wouldn't trust sanders to cover a big spread .... if its a close gutty Q4 then sanders is def the guy I'd want to play against .. I do worry about CMU's secondary .. I do trust Maclwain to have a game plan to give em a shot .. CMU 1-0 in stillwater as 3TD dogs .. history!!!!
COLO .. I'd wait to see if the odds jump further .. week 1 up in some altitude and I just wouldn't call the Buffs DOA yet Shrout OFY LY in fall camp but QB comp is going this year ... Everyone expects TCU to just overrun them but Buffs are gunna have a run heavy ball control offense that took AM to the wire LY. TCU did good hiring gillespie at DC but if Buffs can take them on a couple long drives early in this game then we might be seeing some mile high snot bubbles poppin .. real bad situation if the D is gettin pounded and everyone's lookin at each other tired and out of breath pretty much throw the game plan out .. if Buffs win you might as well tack the under onto it too as a bookie correlizer pulverizer, think no way Buffs have enough game clock to win in a 55 point total game.

@TRAIN69

 I like the under in the NW/NU game as well.  Think it will take some time for these teams to get rolling.  And every other year.....NW surprises.

Good Luck this year Train 

Hopefully we get to see more of you
