Week One Lines Discussion...

The only one I would disagree with strongly is BYU, I think the two +17's Syracuse and Hawaii look really easy, I also like GT and Baylor a lot.

I love Akron and Northern Ill. I could see either one with a lead as late as the 4th quarter.

anyone see how much the FSU/ Miami line changed with the suspensions?...

Where did u get Akron +19? Let me know and I will
make a deposit right now and bet it. They have +17.5
at pinny now. If some place has +19 it must not be for long.

I don't see Penn State winning by 20 no fvckin way. The only thing
is this looks too easy.

the line was 19 last night at Cris...that's cool pinny has their lines out today, thought it wouldn't take them much longer...the thing is there's not much difference between 17.5 and 19 bro...if it were 16.5 might be a little concerned...still wont' make any plays this early though because of all of the suspensions/ injuries that can still happen...

Yep Cris has +19 Thanks!!!! pags!!

Nothing scientific here but I've had more success taking the big favorites early in the season (first 2 games) and then shifting over to the dogs the rest of the way out. For the last 3 years I've played 6 3-team parlays (2 each season) where I've only selected teams who were favored by 17 or more. I've hit on 5 out of 6. Those are the only parlays I bet for the entire season.

that conference scares me after some of last years strange endings.

both of those MAC teams have a lot of experience and are coached well...three TD's or more and I'm game...
