yea your right unc from 8 to 9.5 neb 5.5 vandy 3.5 uconn +6 wisky -8 sdsu went up to -6. Air force still +21. I kind of like auburn/miss st under 47.

I liked the UConn under 51. Already at 48.5.

Arkansas st looked decent at 21. Now 23.5.

I'm warming up to UMass +13.5. And the under even though it moved from 53 to 49.5.

looks like 98% on neb,91 on vandy,96 on wisky,10 on uconn, 93 on unc, and surprisingly only 37% on air force, sdsu is 100,only 16% on miss st :) 100% on cuse/su over,91 % on ecu. 91 on utah and 95 on cincy. This is from scoresandodds.com
with the public so high on my leans isn't that a problem or am I looking too deep?

I wouldn't put a ton of faith in those numbers. Even when they are right they show ticket counts and not dollars.
The whole world is going to be on Vandy and Nebraska though. Public
road favorites are scary.

UConn is back to 5. Utah has ticked up to 7.5/8.

Would love to see Virginia get below 10 to Penn St. I think Virginia has quietly improved some.

I think that USF is interesting. Hate going across the country and 1.5 doesn't do much for you - pretty much need to win.

The more I stare at it the more I like Temple -10. Although I'd rather Maryland look good and set us up for a nice number next week. There is no
way Maryland is going to do anything against the UConn defense.

I bet 16 games last week will be lucky to find 5 this week.

Cincy now up t0 -5...you guys still like that?

Not nearly as much, and if I was only reacting to week 1, I'd sit it out. But since I liked Cinci during the offseason at 4 I need to trudge along.

Cincy ended up landing at 4.5. Hopefully Pitt is as bad as I think they are.

Good call on Cincy...always love when your wager looks like it can't lose in the first quarter!

Any thoughts on tonight's game? Tons of money is on Utah but the line is dropping. Always wary of that reverse line movement.

Utah St is a pretty good team, they played a ton of close games last yr and return a lot of players, but Utah looks really solid too. I think they are the best team in the PAC 12 South besides USC. Really tough game to pick IMO...

I think Pitt may have exceeded your expectations.

The score could have been much closer. A few times a year there are lines that are just insane - throw out the trends they just make no sense.

I sort of like Utah in general this year, they seem to just solidly fly under the radar. As of right now I don't plan on playing it. I can't wait to get home and pick apart the Saturday lines - noon UConn starts move the process up. UConn down to 3.5 the last time I checked.

Nice to see this thread still going. Whaler I just added Maryland to my list this afternoon. I Could see a blowout here I liked Coyer last year as a dual threat qb,Maryland seems to Stink again.I haven't seen Nevada but they seem to be a bcs buster type team will be tough for USf going there. Also started liking USC over 64 the last few days. Def still like air force. Also like Wisconsin su and thinking about teasing them with either air force or the patriots? Like Nebraska and vandy(a lot) at night. Like the jets and leaning carolina and Denver for nfl. And oh yeah Playing uconn of course:)
Whaler,have you changed your mind on air force?

I finally have lines so I can make calls. Air Force is 21. I would have laid off <21 but will prob add. I'll probably change them all 3 times between now and noon and haven't really looked at the totals yet. Thanks Utah by the way - way to show up.

Most of those look good. NEVER bet on Rice and David Bailiff though. UCLA is horrible and Rice made them look like the Patriots.

I was on NCSU here since summer. Maryland I did have a change of heart on. Edsall great as dog and thats a big number. But I'm not going to pretend I'm confident on the card. Started 13-6-1, just hoping to stay lucky.
