    Do what the line tells me.
    I am starting a thread and hope to get some discussions going. I read the line and do what it tells me to pick. I am sure I will not be a "fan" favorite in here as I often pick against what the general public thinks. My picks from last week were Pitt -1 vs Va Tech and WVU +8 vs Baylor. If sure most of you were on Va Tech and Baylor.

    Examples of how I bet/think, from last week. Pitt, why are they favored in this game? They have been playing terrible and Va Tech seems like a better team, also thinking the public will be all over Virginia Tech. WVU, why are they only getting 8 points vs the #4 team in the nation( yes I know they were at home but still).

    Tail/fade I don't care just keep the conversation going and let me know what yall think.

        The line is telling me to take Penn St +13.5 vs Ohio State or at least Penn St in the first half...

          Cal getting 3 scores, majority of public perception should be on Oregon. Thru 2 games on the road Oregon has won by an avg. of 9.5 points
          Wisconsin, early money on Maryland, if I were to make this line myself, I would think it would be Wisconsin -6.5, not sure why they are giving that many, but must be some reason
          Kentucky at home. This isn't a joke of a team this year. Miss St #1 in the nation, public should be all over them. I can atleast see a backdoor cover at worst, at best a decent game.
          Pitt. early money on Ga tech. Figured this game would be closer to a pick'em. Must be a reason for that. Georgia Tech losing 2 in a row, slowly fading (perhaps giving up on the season) we shall see.

            I was thinking about that game when I posted my leans. I want to do some more thought on it. I just don't think this Penn State team is very good, from what I have watched so far this season. But yes this could be a play for me, especially with an extra week to prepare

              Adding to leans

              Va Tech +3 vs Miami, Public on Miami, wrong team favored. Injuries concern me, may be a no play
              S. Carolina +17.5 @ Auburn thats a lot of points. Public on Auburn still. Only concerns Auburn had an extra week to prepare. And they are away, I don't normally like road teams
              Clemson -14 vs Syracuse. Syracuse is not very good and public still on them early. I think Clemson should roll at home

                I must say the Kentucky pick is Terrible.
                Miss. St will blow them out.

                  What is your reasoning for that?

                    UK played Miss State tough as hell last year on the road. Both teams much improved this year. I wouldn't take UK and anything less than 14, though.
