    Sorry that I simply forgot to post Auburn in this thread yesterday, I actually got +7.5 and posted the write-up on front page:

    http://www.sportsbookreview.com/coll...igers-a-61529/

    But I forgot to post it in the thread which I usually do first. Brain fart.

    Important note though is I think this line is so skrewed that it still have value at +6.5. Model has it at +4.88.

    Auburn +7.5 is a very good play. I can't see LSU running over any decent team. They barely got past Miss. State, the team that I consider to be the worst in the SEC West. Les Miles is 1-12 ATS in Conference home openers and 1-4 ATS against Auburn in his last 5 tries. Auburn has a lot of work to do to convince people they are a legitimate contender after last week's fiasco.

    I do not like the situation that Duke is in. This certainly falls into the catagory of a potential "look ahead game" with Ga. Tech visiting next week while Northwestern gets Ball State.

    Va. Tech should cover, but I would definately pass on Miami O and Texas State.

    Clemson overvalued after routing two cupcakes, Louisville undervalued after getting caught in a sandwich game between Auburn and this ACC opener. Looks like classic case of Buy Low, Sell High.

    Reason for taking Duke over Northwestern?? I think duke may be a little overrated? Just my opinion.

    Definite yes to model, but I do watch games a lot too. Probably not as much as others though.

    I think you're overthinking the Clemson game. Just my opinion.Clemson will score plenty of points.

    yep, Louisville playing their 3rd game in 13 days. Obviously the Houston game wasn't taken seriously when sandwiched between 2 top 10 teams in less than 14 days

    No "thinking" necessary, model has Clemson only -3.83. Line is seemingly skewed because of early performances.

    How far away from your model number does it have to be to make a play? 3 points?

    How about CBB?

    think I'm on CSU, Miami-Ohio, and Syracuse as well. Against you on USF though. Maryland can't be as bad as USF on a neutral field

    There is no real answer to that, especially in football with key numbers. MAYBE 1.5 points if line is single-digits, 2.5 if line is double-digits, but that is not a strict rule of thumb for me.

    wow that is sharp. I generally stick with 3 points for a small play. I won't play less than that unless there is some other favorable scenario (injury, time/location of game, etc)

    Wow. That's not much cushion. Going as much on personal opinion as the model I take it?

    Well if a model is THAT far off the real line with much regularity, it is probably worthless anyway. In fact I tend to pass on plays that are TOO far off my model. To each his own I guess.

    More personal opinion as the year goes on yes, but not much opinion the first 3-4 weeks.

    Just wondered how a model guy works. I only use a picture of Cindy Crawford for inspiration when it is a tough decision.

    I probably need a new model because mine has not been updated. I am going to try this one. I bet it works at least half the time.

    Fair Warning: Once I add College totals, the number of CFB plays this week could get into the 20s!

    That happens from time to time, especially earlier in the year before lines tighten up, but it will not be a weekly occurrence.

    Curious about something. You mentioned that a card with this many plays tends to happen early in the season, before the lines tighten up. Do you have any idea, data or recollection, how you've done in the past on days with this many plays?

    The reason I ask is that I've become gunshy when I have this many plays I like. I feel like I usually end up just juicing myself down to a small gain/loss.

    Either way, good luck today!

    23 plays. You have to win 13 just to break even with the juice.

    Why not bet the best 10 and go 10-0?
