    * 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.

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
