Yeah Oklahoma -30 is a lot to a Mike price team playing at home in the prime time spot. Oklahoma tends to struggle on the openers.

I have Rice getting 15.5 as my best play. I have the game capped at less than 10 against UCLA and I think it has great value.

If you got Vanderbilt at 7.5 against USC then you have a good bet. I may take it at 7, capped this game at around 4.

I'm torn on how good Southern Miss will be, but I have their game against Nebraska capped at 11 and the line is around 17.

Alabama laying less than 2 touchdowns is a good bet as well, I have the game at around -17

I have Auburn as a slight favorite over Clemson and already locked them in at +3.5.

Slight lean towards SMU getting 12 from Baylor (handicapped at around 8.5)

I would take Michigan and those 12 points.

betting against nick saban is always a good idea especially if they are defending champions... loll

Don't need Michigan to win just cover an artificial number. I would think Nick would be happy with a 10 point win against a solid team.

Oklahoma -30 still looks good to me even on the road the offense still with landry jones under center rbs and wr's should put the points up in a hurry. dfense should be decent enough to hold the miners. gamecocks still going with to start the week off and la tech mite be the play against A&M with 10-1 ats in last 11games overall not sure may just stay away or look at the over/under. football his finally hear BOL to everyone lets get em

By "Mike Price Team" do you mean "Bad Team?" UTEP has been pretty bad under his watch.

I like SC, A+M, and Stanford. Have write-ups for these in several other threads.

Balco10 · 08-26-12, 10:45 PM

Oregon -34 looks tempting.

Urbanwildlife · 08-26-12, 10:56 PM

Where did you find Oregon at -34??? Inquiring minds want to know.

JasonBecker · 08-26-12, 11:00 PM

betting on more than a 20-24+ point line is borderline insane. It's like betting on a spring training game

Urbanwildlife · 08-26-12, 11:09 PM

You might want to go back and look at last years lines and scores on the top 10 teams, as you are going to find yourself very surprised, as those big lines covered.

diveoregon · 08-26-12, 11:16 PM

I agree, I had several write-ups about top10 teams covering vs. mid-majors prior to conference play. I too would like to know where you found Oregon -34? I have had it at -35' since open, but I like this line as well. I obviously have bias here, but I have also done loads of research and offered plenty of write-up.

Urbanwildlife · 08-26-12, 11:33 PM

Ditto .......

Yeah I see it at -36 now

Urbanwildlife · 08-27-12, 01:18 AM

It never was at -34 and that is why he never responded back, as I also asked him this question immediately after he responded to a post in another thread, so I know he saw it. Just a guy posting about things he has no knowledge of I guess despite having over 4000 posts. This should tell you something about his postings in you care to follow them in the future. Just saying ......
