clemson
I would pound clemson now while it is under 28. They are going to abuse Maryland and that mess of a qb situation. Maryland defense will not be able to stop Watkins and company.Comment -
Texas A&M +16. Buy the pt. 17 pts is ridiculous especially since Bama is coming off an emotional win and is beat up. Easy for them to overlook A&M who has been great this season.
Also like UGA. Auburn is horrible. Even with their new QB Wallace. Guy hasn't played any defenses besides second string A&M and New Mexico.Comment -
I was just on the telephone talking to a friend of mine about exactly what you are saying about Texas A&M. I totally agree with you.Comment -
I will be at the game. Got myself second row seats. Can't wait. Hopefully the ticket will pay for itself with this bet.Comment -
Should be a lot of fun, wish I could be there as well!

take ags first half it has hit every game in the past 2 yearsComment -
Great to know! Much appreciated!

Appreciate it.
Also just saw an interesting fact. This has nothing to do with this game and doesn't really mean anything but it is quite interesting. Exactly 10 years ago this weekend, Texas A&M knocked off the number 1 team in the country (Oklahoma) when the offensive coordinator at A&M was none other than... Kevin Sumlin (now their head coach). Granite this was at home and 10 years ago and means nothing now, it is just kind of a cool fact.
Sumlin is also 11-0 in last 11 road games (some with U of Houston, 5 with A&M). NOT saying A&M wins. I'll take the points. But I'm hoping they keep it close enough to cover.
Any other leans yet? I mainly watch the SEC, Big 12 and some PAC 12. Never know what's going on in the Big 10 or ACC besides Clemson.Comment -
Interesting post and it is pretty cool!

Loving your early lines threads Urban. Gives me ideas for games to cap that I might otherwise overlook.
Nice tip on Aggies 1st half jakeloftin. They are as explosive as Oregon 1H.
Consider Akron -14 over Massachusetts. Mass is a solid fade w/ an average loss YTD of 33 points. The way Akron snuck up on Kent state last weekend, they're clearly capable to cover.Comment -
More than welcome my friend! I know I am for sure going to run with Clemson, as there defense is actually getting better each week, and we all know what there offense can do, and the QB problem with Maryland.
I also love Notre Dame even though I am not big fan of there offense, the fact they are playing Boston College who cannot stop anyone, and I am sure Notre Dame will hold them to probably 10 to 14 points, so I feel this will be a good play.
Auburn cannot score, and here they are going up against a strong defense like Georgia has, I also think Georgia will score at will against them, as Auburn is giving up an average of 27 points a game, and I would expect Georgia to top that mark.Comment -
IU +7 and ML vs Wisky...Destiny (and a bit of a homer)
Comment -
Another couple lines that peak my interest is Iowa State +9.5 at Texas, and
Florida State -12 at Virgina Tech, as the defense of Florida State is going to shut down Logan Thomas, the worthless QB for Virgina Tech.Comment -
Oh yeah. Made a look-ahead list week 10, before lines even came out week 11. FL State, Clemson and Auburn were all on it.
Comment -
Heritage came out with the line on Clemson at -31 verses Maryland.
Texas A&M +13.5
Florida State -13.5Comment -
Hm, they sure inflated that Clemson line. Clemson *did* stomp Duke by 36 last week but I think there's more of a rivalry there as well. Still on my list straight up but may end up in a teaser too.Comment -
Here is one more I am searching out. Louisiana Tech -20 at Texas State.Comment -
Miami FL, Northwestern, and LouisvilleComment -
Northwestern is a pick to seriously consider at +12. A very good pickComment -
Agreed on Northwestern, especially off a bye.
San Jose State -22...-25 whatever. Fading New Mexico State here. Heck, even Auburn beat NM State by 35. It's just embarrassing.
I like Kansas State too. I know *every* week, against Texas Tech, Oklahoma State... it's fun to contemplate & be the first to predict an upset against K State. But... I'll be on K State.Comment -
Good eye bane, and I actually am going to jump on this game.Comment -
GrantedGranite
And I like A&M plus the points as well.Comment -
BAMA? WHAT?! crazy line? NO!.. Johny Foooooball will run into a brickwall.
Never bet against BAMA...Comment -
Pedo St +7
Tulsa -2.5
Fresno St -2.5
Best bets there.
Indiana +6 if Wisconsin doesn't have Stave anymore. They will look exactly like they did earlier this season.Comment -
Agreed tto. This is one of my favorite plays so far, as SJS is on my "pound" list, being 7-2 ATS, and NM State is on my "fade" list being 1-9 ATS. The only thing that'd make it perfect is SJS playing a homer. But, they are just fine crushing it on the road, as seen at Idaho last week.Comment -
My betting strategy is to play only 3 or 4 games ATS on a weekend that I really like, instead of playing many, and because of this my wagers are larger than probably a player who makes quite a few plays. This week I already have selected my plays, as I feel the line will go up on all these games. I also am considering Texas A&M at +13
Florida State -13
Notre Dame -18.5
Georgia -15
San Jose State -22.5Comment -
Good strategy. I started that way, but as the season progresses I find myself liking more games. Only play a few straight up & the extras go into fun parlays & teasers.
With you on all of those Urban, once my book gets the lines up....

I like Penn St +7Comment -
Don't pick A&M.
WASH +1.5!!!!!!Comment -
Ark St -1 at home vs UL Monroe? Ark St has been on the up and up while UL Monroe is on the decline not covering the spread against South Alabama @ home and getting blown out at home by UL Lafayette this past weekend.Comment
