Thought this would be a good place to discuss upcoming games and lines.

Well done, SirEd.

LOL!!!!!!!! The 2 big games this week, I really like Oregon (-3.5) and Georgia (3). Can't wait for Saturday.....

 

[HawkeyeMike23]

Indiana -6 over Ball St. I went in heavy on that one.

 

[jkriv]

Kansas over Mcneese State. -13 or -14 last I saw. Only available on one site I think.They will win by 20+

Like this one too!

 

[jkriv]

TCU over Baylor -3.5 on 5dimes.. TCU will beat up on Baylor two score game minimum.

 

[SirEdHightower]

Northwestern +3
USC -24
Oregon +3.5

I have those for now. We shall see. I was checking out that Indiana game also. Ball State any good?

I would stay away from that game. TCU is young and has question marks, their QB is starting his first road game, and Robert Griffin III might be the best player east of Andrew Luck. I'm not sure I would pick Baylor either, but I would stay away from that game.
(Full disclosure: my wife is a grad student at Baylor, so I have some bias).

I love the Indiana line (-6 vs. Ball State). I wonder if odds makers are giving Ball State the normal 3 point boost for a home game even though it isn't being played at Ball State?

I also really like BYU -2.5 over Ole Miss.

I agree it could be tougher being its away for TCU, but I think they win by 10-13.

I think so too, but with the way the money is coming in on that game. 65% of the bets on TCU and the spread moving so hard the opposite way gives me pause. Obviously the big money is all in on Baylor, I'll stay away from this one.

Like this one too!

The only thing that scares me about this is Indiana's new qb and the tickets that ball state has sold for this game. It is going to be an interesting one. I want to go with Indiana though, just by gut.

 

[ICHawk24]

I'm laying HUGE money on Iowa -7. This is the opening line that my cat posted in March.

I dont like NU at all. BC is pretty good and returns alot. Persa not 100% (even if he does start). I wouldnt touch this one.

Agree 100% on that one, "Pimp Walk" Persa is a huge question mark right now.
