Early leans

I was suprised to see Stanford geting +7 so il be all over that....Oregon does not impress me because they are the type of team who beats up on bad teams and loses to good teams.

Also like NC state...they are +3.5 at my book

Love Iowa but would have to buy a half point and get them at -7 if i choose to play that game.

Lookn at more games now....I like Georgia -4...i think they get AJ Green back this week and he will help their offense alot.

Also leaning Ohio State -19....another blow out here.

My top plays as of right now:

1) Iowa -7 (not sure if I'll play it at more than that, because I like the under as well, but I think the Hawks do win by 10. Just worried it'll move to 7.5 or even 8 before kickoff).
2) Notre Dame -3 (the play is square as shit, but I think it's the right one. ND is going to play angry, and BC is in over its head here with a frosh QB and not nearly as many weapons).
3) Alabama -8 (wish I could get it at 7, but oh well. Bama is the superior team. They should be at least 10 here. Pubes like Florida, which may work in my favor before kickoff).
4) Utah State +4 (should've locked this in at 6. A lot of RLM here).
5) Oregon State -3.5 (underrated and undervalued right now. Much better team. Arizona State will play tired from last week's Oregon game).
6) Iowa State +7 (fading Tubberville on the road. TT is the better team, but there's no way they should be giving 7 in this spot).
7) FIU +17 (was nicer at +19. Fading Wandstedt against a dangerous team that'd be easy for dysfunctional Pitt to overlook).
8) NC State +3.5 (liked this a lot more when the public didn't. Now I'm not so sure. Feels like a setup).
9) Stanford +6.5 (see above).

Almost forgot to add UNLV +21.

Saturday night bailout game in Vegas? And you want me to take the heavy public favorite? No thanks.

Already dropping to 20.5 at most shops. This is Wisconsin redux.

looks like the makings of a solid teaser...if you were to go that route. I like most of them on their own...i dont trust FIU to cover and think oregon has a chance to run stanford out of the building, but it should be close

So just 5-5-1 on my initial leans, but 6-4 on final plays with two losses -- NC State and Stanford -- being the typical public dog failures that I had a sneaking suspicion about. Another loss -- Oregon State -- was by a half a point.

Not bad. I pounded my Top-3, so I was well in the black for this Saturday. NC State was a horrific beat.
