Really looking at 1-2 dogs to win su in week 1. Below is a list of some dog teams that are between 2.5 to 9 point dogs that could start 1-0. My list is ranked In sequential order.
Top 3 is obvious...other picks (especially FCS) is appreciated.
1. Western Kentucky +110 2. Michigan +175 3. North Carolina +125. 4. South Dakota State +175 5. Illinois State +250 6. Northern Iowa +240 7. BYU +165 8. Temple +215...fading from this pick, since many are high on Penn State.

While the game is at Utah, I see Meeechigan somehow pulling it off.Then again, they may lose by 14+.I also like BYU -
Really high on BYU playing better D this season. They usually play the run well, which Nebraska loves to do. Only concern I have is their backfield D in this game, but again Nebraska has a QB that had a 52% pass rating in 2014.

Like ASU 2014 experience vs young A&M team. This can also be like South Carolina / A&M game last year. At the time this game is little too close to call to make any play.

Like this play a lot. Bowling Green will be representing the MAC . Think offensive minded Dino will get his team to score at least 4 TD's.
A: not so sure they'll score 28, they couldn't get that vs Wisconsin last year and I think Tenn's defense is better. And if they do, B: we know they're good to give up 48+ Points with only 4 starters coming back from an already abysmal defense & new FCS coordinator + the way dobbs had Tenn's offense rolling towards the end of the year.. In a city that means a lot to Butch Jones in Nashville..
Tenn or nothing in my opinion

Yes .. the game should be closer to a coin flip. Last year's game between the two is deceiving. Since that time, Tulane has improved and Duke lost a lot of their quality, especially Crowder who hurt Tulane last year. Venue changes as well. Should be a low scoring game and my instinct tells me that Tulane wins outright.

Crowder will be missed in this game. Small play on ML for me as well as Tulane keeps it close throughout.

I too liked Virginia initially because UCLA's 4 TD came from turnovers in last years game. Virginia will be pumped for this game. With the total set in the low 50's this tells me close to low scoring, which favors Virginia. My only worries is this can also be a 45-7 UCLA kind game. For the moment I'm laying off this one.

MATCHUP?........NO *Bruin OL 131 starts (#1) + Perkins (1600 / 6.3 per rush).....Cavs 3/7 defensive front back / lose 2 NFL players too at LB/DE *Cavs lose QB as well plus most of offensive production...UCLA loses great LB Kendricks but Jack and 7 more starters are back.....Cavs will have a really tough time moving the ball >>>>> KEY here?
SITUATIONAL?.....NO *UV traveling 2500 miles or so........AND their classes begin 8/25....so are subject to (more) restrictions by NCAA rules
UCLA doesn't start until 9/24....so less (only number of workouts it seems)......plus fewer distractions as well
*minor....Cavs with Notre Dame on deck at home / Bruins at Nevada *minor > major...Bruins more focused off TERRIBLE effort last year at Virginia.....AND (relatively) disappointing 2014.....Mora should have them READY here..........you would think
OTHER..........not really *technical?....Cavs overachieved in this role last year....Bruins weak but Mora cannot afford a half-azz effort here at home.....esp after Memphis / Utah / Tree last year .....and should return to form (tough in non-conf games) > 7-1 ATS 2012-13....and as home favorite $$$ line value....maybe slight edge Cavs....if Bruins about the same.....Cavs 2-3 pts worse (reasonable)...line should be 14-16 maybe.......I would put it at 16'..................
The impediment to action advances action - what stands in the way becomes the way.
