[TPowell]

Boston College at 3 or 3.5 would be a decent bet. Auburn at 3.5 is a good bet as well as Bama -11

[Emily_Haines]

I'm going all in on Oregon -33

[ConferenceChalk]

upon first glance these are my favorites
Michigan St -4.5 vs Boise State (love this one)
West Virginia -24 vs Marshall
Ohio state -21.5 vs Miami OH
Nebraska -17 vs Southern Miss
Florida -25 vs Bowling Green
Texas -27 vs Wyoming
Arizona -7.5 vs Toledo
Washington -10.5 vs San Diego State

Arkansas St returns one of the best dual threat QBs in the nation in Aplin... Malzahn says he the a proto-type to run his offense...

I would tread lightly on Oregon... yes they can score but Malzahn knows the tricks of the trade on how to throw a wrench in offenses like Oregon's since he coaches nearly the same scheme...

Mich St -4.5 (love it as much as Conference, will make it my first bet of the season)
Ball St -3.5 (will probably buy the hook)
Texas A&M -8 (how do they not win this game by 20+?)

Are my three confident picks for the first week.

oregon up to -34.5. i would rather take the over in that game, but of course you know how these "high powered" teams who never play against teams who play any semblance of defense all of a sudden lay a total egg against a modest big-time defense.

agree with hippo, not sure why a & m line is as low as it is. i understand the 20+ sentiment, but i would imagine this could easily be pegged as a -12.5 to -14 type game. don't have enough faith in a & m to take them regardless but that line does look low.

Sc gamecocks, A&M, bama, I definitely I like and mayb oklahoma to make the 4team parlay

[gwills]

I'm a huge A&M fan. Trust me, don't take us -8. I wouldn't take us if it was -4 or 5. La Tech is not a pushover

[brucesmall]

I love S.C. Gamecocks - 6.5
Michigan State -4.5
And I like Bama -11
