Guys, I'm not one to bet early. I don't play futures and I don't bet lines early in August whenever they come out 3 weeks ahead of the game. BUT, you need to get on this bet now before it goes up:
Minnesota -6.5 (I got it at -110 5 days ago, but it will cost you as much as -125 now)
We all know how bad Syracuse was last season, and have been for the last 3 years. Well, whenever Marrone took over as head coach this season, he has had this list of players, several starters, quit him:
2009 FBS Injuries
SYRACUSE
8/12/09 FB Daniel Collier left team
8/12/09 DE Zary Stewart left team
8/12/09 DE Romale Tucker left team
8/11/09 DB Dale Peterman DNQ will attend CC
6/28/09 K Austin Wallis left team
6/27/09 WR Dan Sheeran left team
6/26/09 CB Matt Reid left team
6/25/09 TE Darnell Pratt left team
6/24/09 K Ryan Novak left team transfer to Temple
6/23/09 DT Elon Mitchell left team
6/22/09 DE Lamar Middlerton left tea
6/21/09 LB Mike Mele left team
6/20/09 QB David LeGree left team
6/19/09 OG Michael Kay left team
6/18/09 TE Brett Hoffman left team
6/17/09 CB Tyrell Harris left team
6/16/09 RB Jerry Harden left team
6/15/09 WR Trey Fairchild left team
6/14/09 CB Nick Chestnut left team
6/13/09 WR Chaz Cervino left team
6/12/09 LB Parker Cantey left team
6/11/09 DE Chris Basile left team
6/10/09 K John Barker left team
Added to this list today was their starting Freshman kicker, Shane Raupers.
Syracuse is so paper thin at depth and talent that they announced today that the best QB they could come up with as starter for the season was Paulus -- a point guard the last several years for Duke University. That should tell you how desperate they are to find athletes to play for this team!
Minnesota brings back most of their starters from last season, a very confident attitude towards winning, and a complete team. This bet is way too easy and you shouldn't be waiting to put money on it right now!
I am continuing to research more plays and will likely not be laying anymore bets until the week of the games.
