Early thoughts on Saturday games?

[regularguy]

Nothing interesting to me on Friday.

[rjt721]

* Virginia -2.5 (BC)
* Missouri +7 (Kansas) (prob. Mizzou ML as well)
* Old Dominion +2 (VCU)
* Utah -3.5 (BYU)

USC +10 (UCLA)
Ohio pk (Kent St.)
Michigan pk (Iowa)
Valparaiso ML +130 (Clev. St.)

All early projections, of course. Maybe wishful thinking getting ODU +2. Probably more along the lines of a pk or ODU as short home chalk.

[Checkerboard]

yeah, not so sure Old Dominion will be available at +2. Like you say they may be pick or small chalk . . .

Some games I'm looking at:

Texas Tech at Oklahoma. (I'd love to see Texas Tech get double digits, or real close.)

Baylor at Nebraska. (I think Baylor is going to get a win there, maybe a pretty comfortable win. I'm hoping maybe the linesmakers will give Baylor a couple points.)

Washington home against Oregon State. (Fading Oregon State. Washington looking good at times.)

New Mexico home against Air Force. (Air Force coming off two wins; NM coming off two losses. Linesmakers might make this one attractive for a bet on the Lobos.)

Butler at Youngstown. (Butler to rebound bigtime.)

Louisville at Seton Hall. (Louisville moving into the elite. Most excellent D.)

Boise State at Nevada. (Boise State has a solid team, with four good seniors. They almost pulled off a win at Utah State on Thursday night. Nevada shaky at times. I'd be interested in Boise State at 5, maybe at 4 ... might not get that many though.)

Texas Tech on the road is awful, blowout for Okie
Nebraska at home is very solid, Cornhusker W by 6 or 7
New Mexico will be favored by 10 or 11 because they are at home, and they dominate at The Pit
Youngstown isnt bad at home, they'll be getting 8 or 9 will be tough to decide
Louisville isnt as good on the road, they'll probably be a 5 or 6 point favorite
No comment on Boise and Nevada

I appreciate the input, Astro.

You sure about this one astro? I had Nebraska other day and they stunk it up against a bad Colorodo team, and yeah they were playing on road but still. It was awful

[Crayzee]

assuming the line is at least double digits-i think it would have to be:

nc could be a little flat coming off tough win over ga tech
thinking md can cover

[onlooker]

LVSC has Old Dominion at -3. What ever that is worth to you guys?

[Alry45]

Im liking KU -7, UMiami +2, Ole Miss -4

[timmymor]

i work at the Ted( where odu plays) and ive seen every home game and i usually am pretty decent at cappin 'em. withthat said, I would believe ODU would have to be about a 3-4 point favorite. Hope this helps

[Tigers1230]

Lot of games to look at. Early leans:

Ole Miss -5
Baylor +2.5
Memphis -22.5 (should win by 30)
Miss. St. PK

[FADEME]

New poster...

Like UCSB -5 (Harris, Devine, Powell good combo; even though they are playing away from the Thunderdome; Cal Poly i dont think will put up too much of a fight; UCSB will cover by 10 here)

Like Kansas, bama,geo mason, pitts all to cover

[perhapsnot]

Take a look at E Mich +1.5 at Ball State. Love EMich in this one.

Good luck all.

[Mr KLC]

I'm really liking Mississippi State today at Pickem.

[Mr Nuts]

I like ND + 8.5
