Yes.  Gives me rage.  Went to switch to cable but can’t get it where I live.  I don’t prefer to  stream  sports but I am stuck with ESPN + until the blackout is gone.  

Texas potential weakness long the D front.

Texas secondary is a concern.

Michigan starting all new OL.  I think that's a huge liability that mitigates my concern for Texas D line.

Michigan QB/WR issues.  Mitigates my concern regarding Texas secondary.

Michigan rush defense did very well last week.

Texas OL is good.  

Texas has dynamic passing game and good play caller.  (I am not down on Ewers like some in the media seem to be)

Michigan secondary is very capable.

I think Michigan D gonna be on the field a lot more than they were used to LY because of offensive issues.

Texas waxed a good Colorado State team.

Michigan did okay against a Tedford-less Fresno State team (Fresno State is not the same after a late-season retirement of a very good HC)

I like Texas even at 7.5.  Ideally it would drop down again.  I think Texas is gonna wanna go up by 2 scores to put the game out of reach and I don't trust a UM Offense to hurry down the field and score.

@totter

 Also on these 3. 

Had them -26.  They looked bad.  Really surprising.  Nevada is the kind of team they needed to beat by a lot.  

UGA WR RaRa Thomas dismissed from team.  

UGA WR Rara Thomas arrested on DV related charge and suspended indefinitely 

@steponaduck

I know he probably had a say in who took his place, but this makes me real uneasy about them now 

Cincinnati starting DT Corleone out indefinitely with blood clot issue.  I feel for him.  Was a force in the middle and was supposed to have a huge season.  

I am thinking over bets on Bama might be the play 

Mostly tune into the NHL in time for the Stanley Cup playoffs.  This year I can't get much in the way of dark horses or clear favorites though.  Interested in your thoughts...

Oregon at any number 

@steponaduck

 UTEP beat themselves.  That game was very frustrating.  The playcalling at critical times was awful.  

looks like the press coming out of SDSu camp was wrong about the offense.  Same old offense from the Aztecs.  I was on the over, but knew I was in trouble when nobody scored TDs on those early chances in the first quarter.  

I am with you an our New Mexico State.  I felt the same.  Turned out wrong.  It was only week 0.  Plenty of time to make up ground.

@steponaduck

 Yeah.  Lots of preseason research but ultimately it comes down to the games.

I don’t know about the tempo but it wouldn’t surprise me given OC’s experience.  Apparently it was bombs away at practice and the QB/WRs have been on the same page.  I have only read this and haven’t seen it myself but it convinced me to take the over.  I am hoping it’s not the same old SDSu that’s shows up on Saturday….we’ll know on the first series though.  

@Laroja

 yes!  on that.

ND -19.5

UTEP -1

SDSU v. Ohio over 48.5

New Mexico State - 6.5

SJSU + 31.5 

buy a point on each...too many 1 point and .5 point losses.   

SD Local here.  Word is that SDSU offense has finally learned the forward pass and is taking it to the defense.  Trust Ohio to score and have to think that SDSU can score on Ohio if it is scoring on its own D.   

Relying on preseason analysis and trying not to overreact to Week 1 results: 

Louisville @ UCF over 61.5

Boise State - 17

South Carolina @ Arkansas over 53

Duke @ Northwestern under 57

Alabama -14 (First half)

Western Michigan - 6.5

Notre Dame - 21

Memphis - 5.5

Houston @ Texas Tech over 62.5

East Carolina - 12.5

Pitt ML 

Baylor ML 

I am on the over.  I think WVU will have a difficult time stopping Pitt and I think WVU will neutralize Pitt’s D line by getting the ball out quick
