Exactly as anyone who had done there due diligence would know that Bowling Green is a very good team.Comment -
Washington Huskies -3 are a lock vs Boise. Home opener in a newly renovated stadium.....Price will light up the Boise St DComment -
I don't like taking Washington at -3 here because they just lost to Boise State on a neutral field in their last game. Boise State brings pretty much everyone back.... and Price certainly did not light them up in the MAACO Bowl. If you really like Washington here you are better off taking the ML.Comment -
Price is not a good quarterback and if I was to play the game which I most certainly am not, I would go with Boise State, as I feel Southwick is a much better quarterback than price, and Boise has a much better coaching staff, and is just a stronger team on both sides of the ball.Comment -
Dude play that shit! Price is a veteran Q.B and yall really think he gonna lay flat in the opener in a new field at that. Not gonna have any forced turnovers either becasue once again, he been there and done that. He might not be the best in the country, but i will take him over a younger and jus a little inexperienced Q.B soutwick. Washington by 7+. Lock!!! #SquaddddComment -
i thought boise has a really low number of starters back.... boise outperforms, washington underperforms in general... but washington's talent level is really high (nfl prospects and recent recruiting years) and HFA should be huge with the newly renovated stadium.. i am going to PASS on the game.
EDIT: i think i'm confused on the boise returning starters. different sources maybe or maybe i'm just brain-dead.Comment -
@ Washington players
Ok and I wish you nothing but the very best!

looking at the UNLV @ minnesota....
on UNLV, since 2008 (5 seasons) they have been monumentally bad (unprecedented i'd think) at road ATS. 4-22 with an average result of almost 11 point miss.
on other hand, i have UNLV improving alot and how many FBS teams has minnesota beaten by 15-16 points since glen mason left? almost none and not sure there's been one comfortable cover of that many points.Comment -
I am for one seriously considering playing Minnesota if I can get it at -14. From doing my due diligence I have found that despite what many are saying, I feel they are going to be a much much improved and competitive team on both sides of the ball, and if you look at the history of coach Jerry Kill, you will find that his third year on the job at a university his teams have made great strides. I also do not see where UNLV is improving at all. They have many returning players but the talent level is just not there, and I have not found any new freshman coming in that is going to help them at all. There entire success is going to be based on how quarterback Nick Sherry performs.
Another aspect when considering this game it to look at the big strong and experienced offensive line of Minnesota which is going to be running the ball against a weak defensive line of UNLV. I feel Minnesota might be one of the surprise teams of the upcoming season. They will be in every game this year, and very well could be a good money maker for us players.Comment -
Urbanwildlife, thanks for the minnesota-unlv feedback............. not totally sure where i get the UNLV improved from. wondering if i'm like phil steele who was perpetually predicting either tulane and/or smu to improve. seemed like he got sucked in every season..... maybe i think that being so convenient to los angeles and being just off the vegas strip that they should have a much much better team.
i will look into more detail as to why i think UNLV should be much improved.
FWIW didn't they go to overtime last year vs. minnesota? i think UNLV has been a very good home ATS and an absolutely brutal road ATS team (perhaps the worst in NCAA history). and of course the game was in vegas last.
also, on the boise/washington game marc lawrence does have boise with small number of returning starters. happy that i didn't imagine it, but i think other sources show alot more starters.Comment -

First, Hauck has one of the most experienced squads in the conference with 43 returning lettermen and a league-high 19 returning starters, including sophomore QB Nick Sherry and 10 starters back on defense.
Both coordinators (ex-NFL QB Timm Rosenbach on offense and Hauck’s younger brother Tim on defense) are new, but a fresh outlook and a new attitude certainly were needed in Sin City.
TOOK OUT A BUNCH OF STUFF.... basically new OC and DC that people seem to like (who knows)
Don’t be shocked if the Rebels post more wins this fall than in Hauck’s first three seasons combined and save his job by becoming postseason-eligible.Comment -
looking around the internet looks like there's alot of people eyeing unlv as highly improved... but i do wonder if proximity to los angeles and to vegas strips makes people think the team should (and will soon) be alot better. UCLA sort of the same (awesome locale............ but people have informed me that ucla admin doesn't support football enough. don't they play at rose bowl?)Comment -
Minnesota took a big dump on them last year opening game. Totally stunk up the place. This year the game is being played in Minnesota where the Gophers have played very well.Comment -
Western Kentucky ML is the best play, Tulsa PK is a close 2nd. TCU either beats LSU or barely loses as well.Comment -
Canuck you still liking UW -3.5 with ASJ out?
I think UW covers. Considering making it a large playComment
