N. TX. and TX. ST. and Oregon ST. all qualify. Don't know who wins the award but I am betting against those 3 the first week.
SMU isn't gonna win a lot of games but they may cover several. One of their wins will be a opening beat down @ N. Tx. Last year they played great 1st halves then faded late. Those games were against the best of the AAC. N. Tx. was a spot in the road for teams in a lesser conference. SMU is headed one way and N. Tx. has nothing . Maybe a 1st H bet.
Tx. ST. looks prime for worst. Last year they had some returning starters and they sucked. This year they have less returners, maybe a good thing. New systems in the 1st game @Ohio?
Looks like a 1st H bet.
Oregon St. is PAC 12 so no way a devils worse but they do play bad. @Minn. I think they might get their eves punched out and then Minny gets mad.
My lines are
SMU -10
Ohio -20
Minny-10
Didn't get the best lines but not to mad about it.
I have 5 more picks. Post them later. These were the teams I have no respect for. Later I will post some others.

Longhorn, Sounds like some QB probs @ Ohio I just heard about. Did Sprague really quit? Need to find out about that. And yes, @ home 1st game against struggling Tx. St. I see (saw?) them moving the ball easily. Power pushing them around. Lots of RB's.
I seldom flop on a game but not to proud to by out if enough things scare me off. Still so many injuries and especially suspensions happening. Two weeks to go so I may not have everything decided until Sat. morning. Patience the 1st week and patience the last week. Plenty of games out there. Here are 2 more plays.
Gotta take @Penn. St. -20. I expect better offensive play this year but the key for me is they shut down Kent St. Kent St. off. should improve as the season goes on but not here. Penn St. replacing some on Def. but talent level weighing heavy towards P. St. Pass protection another key. They can't be worse, right? I expect Franklin to seriously address this. Their recruiting has been good and they have a full compliment of players now. Penn St. has always been a lunch pail, tough as nails team.
I've been on @Tulsa -5.5 since the line came out. Lousy # considering where it is now. Screw me. Got cocky thinking I was smart and the line would go the other way.
I bet and watched a lot of AAC last year. If all the returners on defense can improve they should outscore anyone with that offense. Lot of lettermen returning all over and several on offense are really good. Not so sure about SJSU replacing so much in the Def. backfield. Seems like SJSU's weakness play's into Tulsa's strength. Tulsa will play @a high pace all game and would consider 2nd H play on this. This game could be played in upper 90's or more.
1. SMU -10
2. @ Ohio -20
3. @ Minny -20
4. @Penn St. -20
5. @Tulsa -5.5
Got 3 more games and yeh, 2 of those are also chalk.

Thanks Nost., I've got your plays on my consensus list to keep me out of trouble. I like to find 4 or 5 reliable winning players to give me a better overview. I tend to play chalk mostly. Just have to find the right places. I haven't bet the Clemson game yet but that may be the one we disagree on.
N. Mx. St. +7.5 @ UTEP. I generally would just pass over crap games like this but I see 2 evenly matched teams. Big prob here is injuries! Could be a buy out if N.Mx.St. isn't healthy. Otherwise I like the pts. here.
Geo. -3 / N. Car. Neutral site but not quite. I'm betting this more like a home game for Geo. Hoping Chubb gets out there but still like this if back ups have to play. I think they screwed up by letting Richt go but also love the K. Smart hire. I feel like I should add some more @ -2.5 but holding off for now.
Boise St. -19.5 @U LA LA. Boise def. better be decent or I may be screwed on this one. Hate to lay big pts. on the road but I think they can easily get this into the 40's. Probably best talent in the MWC against a average at best SBC team.
BC / Geo. Tech u44
Tx. / N. Dame u 60.5
Looking forward to seeing 5 Dimes game day 5cent lines and especially the TT's. Those TT's often my best plays. Always a few good plays.

Thanks BA, I waited one day to long to bail out of that game so a 8 pt. win by UTEP will cost me big. Really bad management on me. I'm embarrassed to admit how stupid I was on this one.
I won a Futbol play today so gotta reinvest. ( Ireland beat Oman ) Of course everyone was on the edge of their seats wondering how that powerhouse Oman side would do. NO?
I've been looking at @UConn -27.5 vs. Maine since the lines came out. Maine is bad even by FCS standards. Basically rebuilding everywhere off a bad year. Only averaged 15 pts. a game last year and now opening on the road against a very good UConn defense that may be better this year. I think UConn's offense will be better, too. They may not improve over last years 6 wins but still a better team The game tomorrow looks like a huge mismatch. Maybe Maine gets a TD, U Conn likely in the 40's. Maines new coach is 30 yrs. old which doesn't really matter on my play but thought I'd mention it.
Maybe, just maybe one more for tomorrow. If Tulane gets off +17 to +17.5 might play it. Got to think about it some more.

I checked out 5 Dimes this morning in case TT's were out. Not yet.
UConn line on the move. After weeks of staying solid at -27.5 it jumped 2 pts. to -29.5 this A.M. I know I have no rep and my bets are modest so I guess some other poor soul out there agrees with my assessment that UConn rolls.
