Made a thread about this earlier tonight. Do not know how you could have missed it, unless your eye sight is bad, as it is located the 2nd thread down from yours!

Also like LSU -3

FSU -17.5 and OKST -14 are just ridiculous. Going with the U and Cyclones.

FSU looked high at first glance, but Morris is out for Miami. However, OSU is going to kill Iowa State.

Revenge for the Pokes

Still think that is too many points to the pokes, talent wise these are two pretty even teams

I'm actually on the other side for the Ducks/Sun Devils game. It will be played in Tempe and the line points towards a ASU play. Gonna do some more thinking about it but don't undervalue the Sun Devils here at home.

I'm in on the Cyclones.... took +14.
Just realized they have a high PPG because of Savanah State.

If the Texas A&M vs LSU game was at night I would put 1/5 of my roll on A&M +3.5

but since its at 11AM...not sure home field for A&M will be as big of an advantage. Still going to take A&M and buy a half a point but small play. There are definitely better games. I am disappointed though, was really looking forward to this being a night game.

A&M puts up a lot of points but hasn't played a good defense since florida (when the Aggies were shutout in the second half and still only lost 20-17) but then again that was A&M's first game of the season. If A&M can put up 27 (which is possible) then they win straight up. If they struggle like they did in the second half vs Florida then it should just be a close one and I'll take the +3.5 against an LSU offense that hasn't shown anything impressive.

Just hope Johnny Football Manziel (Redshirt Freshman) continues to play like a veteran and does not to turn the ball over. He is a fun player to watch.

Best of luck this week Adam.

ball state -3 vs central michigan is a LOCK

tmgissy · 10-15-12, 10:39 AM

Florida -3

Thanks. I really like Ohio State. LSU is a different breed and like you said the last time A&M faced a good defense they lost. They struggled with Ole Miss and almost blew a big lead vs LT. A&M is far from stout on defense and Johnny Football is not going to be able to run for big yardage. Also what is the status of Swope? I am taking a shot here with LSU. Do not need to be fancy can just pound the rock vs A&M. I agree with the home field advantage being neutralized by the start time as well.

Thanks for input
