    Thanks much Sam...we have been waiting on these GN lines.

    I like to compare early opening lines to those posted by the Golden Nugget. Offers some interesting comparisons.

    Example: Early lines have Vandy -2.5 on Ole Miss. GN has Ole Miss -4. I've thought Ole Miss was the pick from the very beginning, especially if I can buy to +3.

    Appreciate the post Bud!

    BD, opening week I would lean these three if I had to play today from your list.

    Auburn -12 vs Washington St. (Home)
    Boise St. +2 vs Washington (Road)
    Clemson +3.5 vs Georgia (Home)

    * Auburn will surprise some people this year. The Alabama late August heat/humidity is murder if not use to it.
    * I have gone against Boise State in the opener the past two years...not again.
    * Toss up game to me...Clemson at home and more than a field goal gets my attention.

    Auburn is a strong wager IMO. Wazzu is 0-7 ATS in their first lined away game in the past 7 years. Auburn is going to be out for blood after their terrible season last year. We do not understand all the love for Georgia. They are a favorite AT Clemson, a team that went 2-1 against the SEC (Auburn, South Carolina, and LSU) last season. Boise State just beats Pac 12 teams.

    Clemson was -3.5 not too long ago. If you took UGA +3.5 earlier, that would be a great middle.

    Auburn shouldn't be considered a big victory imo. If you, me, or anyone else in the country but Les Miles calls the plays in the 4th quarter, LSU wins that game. A win is a win tho.

    Vandy still -2.5 on 5dimes (+4 at Nugget)

    UGA +2.5 (-3.5 at Nug)

    Colorado -1 (+3.5 Nug)

    Penn State -3.5 (-6.5 at Nug)

    Some decent middle opportunities if you had the option to place a bet there

    5Dimes has a very low max wager. I believe it is $100.00. Not too many people are going to try to go to Vegas and get a middle for just $100.00
