What`s a good early DD favorite to take?

 I haven`t read anything.

I would parlay a bunch of ML favorites

I like Clemson (read Boom Boom's thread) he is a Clemson homer.  They are flying under the radar a bit.  I watched Troy and they did have a reputation as giant killers however their defense was atrocious last year.  They had a pretty good freshman QB in Robinson but their receivers are mostly new.  Their speedster and big play guy Jurnigan is gone.  imho, Troy is still a contender in Sun Belt but not as good as in past years.

I've had the displeasure of watching Middle Tennessee State.  They are bad.  Purdue should ambush them both sides of the line and they won't overlook them given they had a bad year last year and are just mediocre Big 10 squad.  They are breaking in a new QB but their other positions are solid. 

I took Mizzou ML earlier but now that line has shot up...they play your Ariz St squad next week in what should be a good.

Troy might be a contender in the Suck Belt conference.  If you watched any Troy games you would know their defense was awful last year.  They have been having speedy playmakers on offense also when they were good in the past years.  Not sure about this year.  Corey Robinson is a solid QB though.

Purdue doesn't have a good track record covering DD lines as favorites under this coach.

Only 1 (the QB) of their 6 leading offensive yardage producers are back. The OL returns only 2 starters. Their return specialist is gone. Points will be hard to come by especially early in the year.

 The defense returns 7 guys, but this from a unit which was dead last in the conference in passing yards allowed, and yielded 24+ points 9 times last year.

Ohio St -31 .. i'm not taling it .. but its not a bad one.

They'll dominate.
