Early thought on College Football

[BigWeiner]

Any reason why I shouldn't like Memphis again, over SMU -7.5?

Notre Dame +3.5?

[BigWeiner]

Just played Memphis -7 (-120)

[molta02]

SMU should be a go-against the rest of the season

[vols fan]

I like Memphis as well.Playing them in a 7 team teaser also:
Indy-5
Arkansas+18.5
Tenn+9
Memphis-1
Auburn pk
Ga+3
Va Tech+3.5
50 to win 450

Some I am looking at:

Wyoming +3
S Florida -11
Maryland +2
Memphis -7.5
Utah St +2.5
Ball St -9
Wash -5.5
VT -3.5
TCU -10.5

I try to stay away from road teams in these last few weeks, with all the Senior day stuff, and meaningless games. These games scare me
Wyoming
South Florida
Maryland
Utah St
Ball St
TCU
VT
I do like Washington

[BigWeiner]

Gotta like Miss. St -6.5 right? 2-3 in their last 5 all tough games

[BigWeiner]

What UAB +14.5 against Marshall? Seems like way too many point.

Understand, but First look at the spreads and talent, then hope to narrow down from there.

What's your thoughts on AZ St then at home?

Such a tough game to call. I think I'd take Zona St. +3.5

I think that Memphis line will rise significantly over the week. Probably up to 9-9.5. Getting it a 7 was a great call.

Miss St looks like a great call too. Mississippi played their "bowl game" last week against LSU and although this week is a huge rivalry game, I wouldnt be suprised if they come out flat. Also, their coach is on the hottest of seats and probably a lame duck. Plus Croom doing a great job.

And IMO, be careful with your road game theory. Dont want to pass up any nice winners because you dismiss them automatically.

For example all these road teams covered this weekend and this list runs from favorite to dog, meaningless to important:
Akron
North Texas
Eastern Michigan
Western Michigan
North Carolina
Vanderbilt
Bowling Green
BYU
Utah State
Oklahoma State
UCF
Tulane
Marshall
N. Illinois
Missouri
Ohio State
Boston College
Oregon State
San Jose State
S. Miss
Pittsburgh
UL Monroe
UL Lafayette

So, there were 51 games on the rotation starting on Tuesday and going through Saturday and 23 of them were covered ATS by the away team. Thats 45%. So my only point is that maybe that senior day stuff isnt all that important when it comes to performance on the field. I havent done the figures for the whole season, but Im sure 45% isnt a drastic departure from the norm. But who knows. Just wanted to add another point of view.

Good info. Thanks. I'm liking Memphis -7 (-120) too, they're playing well, and agree, then line should go up.

Rice.

Tulsa is 2-2 in road games and if Rice wants to beat anyone, they want to beat the coach who deserted them less than a year ago.
