YTD 0-1 -2.2 units
2* 0-1 -2.0 units
1* 0-0
I got off to a lousy start losing a big play Thursday night. Several of these plays were posted earlier in the week in anticipation of line movement. The lines below reflect the line at the time of the post (the line I bet).
2* Houston -13 1/2
Houston is the road team, but not really. Rice is also located in Houston and has terrible fan support so Houston not only isn't traveling but may have more fans in the stands. Houston QB Kolb, a four year starter, is being touted for the Heisman and the team has most starters back from last year. Rice is switching this year from an option to pass offense and has a new coaching staff I'm not impressed with.
1* Navy -11 1/2
Navy has won 14 of its last 16 home games. Almost everybody is back from last year's bowl team. East Carolina was only 5-6 last year and doesn't look improved this year.
1* Indiana -4
This line has, as I suspected, moved dramatically from when I posted it but the play is still solid. Indiana's coach is pass oriented (he coached Roethlisberger at Mia-OH) and has most starters back from last year. Miami is weak against the pass. I look for Indiana to score with ease here.
1* Arkansas +8
This line could go to +10 but I'm stuck with eight. Arkansas is one of the toughest home fields in America and USC will be debuting a new QB and two running backs in a very hostile environment. 19 Arkansas starters return this year and while the star RB is out, his backup ran for six yards a carry last year. Straight up upset possible.
Opinions only: Baylor, Michigan (both play opponents that should regress big time this year)
