I know that DoubleUp has a killer futures thread, but I thought I'd start one with my own thoughts and questions for this year. Have cash at 5dimes, Bodog, and Bet Islands, so will be comparing lines at these three locations. 5dimes, of course, is generally the best here.
So far, I have one play:
Ohio U. +1000 to win the MAC at Bet Islands
Honestly, I haven't even done my research on the MAC yet this year, but this is +500 on BoDog (although it's unbettable for some reason--the lines are up but the wagers are closed) and +495 on 5dimes. That big of a discrepancy on one of the teams I'd flagged for further research told me I should go ahead and take the line while I have it.
Their two biggest competitors in the East changed coaches this year, and one of them hired Steve Addazio. Additionally, Miami benefitted last year from a ton of close wins. By process of elimination alone, the Bobcats are a strong pick to make the championship game. But they also return five starters on the offensive line, and their MAC schedule is about as easy as they come.
Bet Islands doesn't have their divisional odds up yet for the MAC, but I'll do a little more research when those come out. A championship game loss is my kneejerk expectation for Ohio, but 10/1 is too tempting for a team that I expect to make the title game.
Will post more thoughts/plays over the weekend.

I would think NCSU will be every bit as good or better than the terps and the hoo's in the ACC- worth the play in that spot for sure
