Hey Pregame,
I love college football so much... way more than the NFL but the NFL is way more profitable for me. If I could win 15 units this year, I’d be very happy. Here we go:
Akron +24 @ NEB...3 STARS sportsbook.ag.. CANCELLED
This line is 24 at sportsbook right now. Akron has a good coach and the best D in the MAC. That should be enough to cover this huge number vs Neb who is starting a freshman QB Martinez. Neb has 2 sick WRs but I think the new Neb HC Frost will want to ease Martinez in against a good Akron D... 31-13 Neb
WMU +6 vs Syr..... 1 STAR.... LOSS
This seems like value to me. Syr is 2-16 SU on the road in their last 18. How can they be comfortable laying this type of number to a slightly above average MAC team on the road?? I like QB Dungey for Syr but they lost 2 incredible WRs. They were both possession receivers, (Ishmael and Phillips) and they were Dungey’s security blanket. Dungey is really gutsy (watch the games LY @mia and @fsu in B2B weeks) but he does have a habit of turning the ball over. I also think Babers is awful coach. Admittedly, I can’t tell you too much about Western Michigan besides what a few magazines tell me but they aren’t bad. They can run the ball behind a great OL and their secondary is their strength which should be good vs Syr who likes to throw. The crowd should be jacked for week 1... Syr 27-26
Cmu +17 @ KENTUCKY...... 2 STARS.... WIN
Both teams lost their QB... And both teams want to run.... Kentucky is clearly better but laying 17 is a range they aren’t comfortable doing...I like CMU's D to really be stout and I think Kentucky will have trouble scoring... I see a grind it out 27-17 Kentucky victory
Mia -3 (-120) Lsu........2 STARS........betonline.ag......neutral site.... LOSS
I have broken down this game from every angle and I just dont see LSU scoring much in this game. Fellas, their offense is really pedestrian. Unless they find a hidden spark, its going to be a long season on that side of the ball. On the other side, Mia is just loaded. I have their D ranked top 5 and their offense should be well above average....I see a 26-13 Mia win
Fau +21.5 (-120) OKLA...2 STARS... LOSS
I have spent alot of time on this game as well. I feel like okla is the most flawed team in the top 10. Their offense should be great, but before we appoint QB Murray in the same class as Mayfield, lets see him do it once first. I think the kid's expectations are too high and Oklahoma's defense will not be doing him any favors this year. The D isnt good, and the special teams stink. On the other hand FAU has a great coach and alot of momentum. They also have an unbelievable team again. They are amazing in the trenches and have skill players all over the place. They have a new QB but in that system, he will shine. FAU has some athletes from Florida all over the place and their D is very solid. I wouldnt be shocked if this game is tied in the 2nd half and who the hell knows, even pull the upset.... But ill say 45-35 Okla
WYOM +3(-115) wash st....2 STARS... LOSS
im biting here now that a 3 popped up. Wyom is very trendy this week after last weeks blowout We all know about WSU losing Falk and the death of their backup but I really like the altitude advantage Wyoming will have . Their D is really stout
Unlv +26 USC.....2 STARS.. WIN
was waiting for 28 but doubt it gets there... UNLV can score... usc lookahead to Stanford... true frosh QB for UNLV
