I’m pumped and ready for November 3rd! Historically, we get some great value of large dogs on opening night. A few games I’m looking at in anticipation below, where I expect some very large spreads and potentially great plays on the dog. These may not all end up being plays, but are my initial targets as we get closer.
Campbell at Wisconsin
Campbell has a new coach (which brings some unknowns) but he’s in from the Florida Gators where he was Assistant Coach. Campbell has two transfers who will be immediate contributors, including Jeremiah Johnson from Green Bay. Started 27 games last year as a Freshman. Wisconsin recently had a big blow, losing Assistant Kirk Penney , days before opening practice, who had orchestrated the new look offense the last 2 years. I would not be shocked to see a shaky start with their offensive mastermind back overseas.
Bethune Cookman @ Auburn
We know Bruce is gone and former NBA star Reggie Theus has what looks like his best ever team at BCU. Arterio Morris, former 5 star recruit has transferred in. Doctor Bradley from Pine Bluff also transferred in - averaged 19 and 9 last year. Jakobi Heady also in from Central Michigan and averaged 15 ppg last year. This line will be Auburn -40 or more and BCU looking like a large play for me here.
Green Bay @ Kansas
I expect Another 40+ line here, and Gottlieb, as painful as he is, should have a much better team. Marcus Hall returns as their leading scorer, and could have transferred into a power 4 conference but stayed loyal (and some NIL dollars coming into the program). Gottlieb retooled his coaching staff and should be a nice value play on opening night.
Looking into 5-6 more similar games but these are 3 immediate focuses as we are inside a month until opening night.

This is a tough opening game for Michigan. Oakland’s coach Kampe going into season 42, and has 7 players from in state. This is a game Michigan has avoided recently. Their last regular season matchup was 2020 and Oakland took it to OT. Oakland did lose a lot to portal, and with the turnover may see a spread in the 30-35 range, and one I will monitor as Oakland should keep it closer.
