    Very Early Week 0-1 Looks
    Lots of time and the lines are out. The bad news, not much to 'cap on as far as info goes. Here is a very early look with some leans:

    Florida -7 to vs Miami (FL)*...An inexperienced Miami offense could be the difference. Florida returns QB Franks. Defense seems to be the strength of both teams.

    Wake Forest -3 1/2 vs Utah State. Utah State returns only their QB and a tackle on offense. While that may be good enough to challenge later on in the season in the MWC, it is not good enough in week 1 at ACC's Wake Forest, who should have enough returning talent to cover 3 1/2 points at home. Don't give too many more points tough.

    South Florida +11 vs Wisconsin. No doubt that Wisky should win this game, but with just 3 offensive starters returning and having to replace the entire defensive line, they are going to be forced to grind it out against a USF team who returns 9 on offense including QB Barnett. 11 points is too many to give.

    Boise State +4 1/2 vs Florida State* If Boise State can develop a decent QB, they may not lose in 2019. Florida State has been a major disappointment recently and must show improvement on offense and stop taking so many penalties to have a chance here. Is the wrong team favored?

    * Denotes Neutral site game.

      The major advantage of looking at the week 1 lines now is this. The books will try keep the changes down to a minimum to avoid any possible "middle" situations. The lines posted now should be pretty close to the lines at game time, barring any unforseen injuries or suspensions. You have a good idea of what you will be looking at on week 1 10 weeks prior.

        maybe do under on florida/miami... if spread, then miami.

        wake = superior players. and so many of the starters from USU overachieving team are gone. as you pointed out (i wasn't aware)

        wisconsin seems a steam roller that only gets stopped by far superior team. having said that, USF has good talent and will be up for this challenge so i'll take SF.

        who knows what's going on with FSU but i do believe in taggart....... rypien was a pretty high level quarterback for boise... probably go FSU here.
