5Dimes/Sportbet has opened up the college football season with early lines. Based on the games with "openers", if you had to pick ONE GAME to wager on WHO would it be and WHY?

Tough to fade the SEC in ANY GAME, but looking at Clemson. Late season and Bowl Games, SEC. Early season games when teams can potentially be coming in flat is a time IMO to go against. With the SEC having another nice Bowl Season topped off by another BCS Title, almost anyone I have shown these lines too have said, "How do you give an SEC points?".

Vandy+10 and maybe a small ML play as well................Tenn-6.5 is dicey, but worth a shot under a TD.................Bama-13, I like the Tide by atleast 20; wonder if there is a side bet on if michigans QB finishes the game?................of course I got to roll with Southern Miss+13, the Nasty Bunch is back & USM is CFB's new giantkillers from here on out!.......................Kentucky+10 is a gift & i like it under a total of 41 or so...................I'd Probally have to take Clemson+5, b/c Auburn is kind of shakey right now....

Even though I do not see Alabama blowing Michigan out, there is the Saban factor. Michigan-Michigan State builds a hate/hate both ways and having the tools to OWN MI at Alabama, Saban might feel the need to smack them around.

I just don't see where Michigan will get the points they need.  I bet the Bama defense scores as many points as the Michigan offense.......Despite Bama losing several guys to the draft, they're still stacked

Of any big win we have had, or winning streak, or even coming out of a losing streak, of this I am most proud:

Some forum posters have broken into the industry and have achieved moderate success while carrying themselves with professionalism and integrity. Dave Essler, of the pick-selling site Pregame, immediately comes to mind.

Clemson and Michigan State kinda stick out to me .. I wouldn't touch the Bama game, but if I had to, I'd have to roll with the Tide

 TNVols -6.5,  Vols have heard crap all year for losing to KY, Brae will have Hunter back.  Wouldnt surprise me if Vols win by 20+,, unless NCstate has a strong pass Def.

Alabama was -14.0 a week or so go. Down to -13.0 Have to double check, but I think they opened the # at -10.0
