I'm from the Michgan area. And although the teams here are 1)Michigan, and 2) Michgan State, W.Michigan has a pretty important game on their hands as well, any thoughts on this one. I have the Greek offering -6.
 
Thanks  Slomotion.

Tx Tech, Tulsa and Georgia are also 3 of my top plays... but i'm curious to hear your argument for playing Cincy... that has 52-10 written all over it... Oklahoma is one of the top 3 teams in the country... they will dominate both sides of the ball from start to finish...
 
but the other picks generally look good... can't say i agree with Penn St, but OSU isn't my favorite pick of the week, so i wouldn't put up too much of an argument...

jrsteel, slomotion -
 
shepherd - believe Cincy defense can slow down OU with a fairly tough defense, motivated to play well and good coaching
 
adding
 
Navy +7
UConn/Temp under 38
 
Navy 31 Ball St 30 - for all the excitement Ball St has generated, the Cards have won 6 of 25 games last 2 years by a TD or more. Middies always a tough dog at 7-2 ATS last couple years and 18-5 on the road lately. Teams are nearly equal in my opinion so points sound pretty good.
 
UConn 21 Temple 10 - two pretty solid defenses although not fully sure Owls can be trusted. Huskies lacking playmakers at the WR position. Look for teams to lean towards the run in driving rainstorm with 25 mph wind...although bad weather does not always guarantee a low scoring game.
 
updated week 2 ticket
 
Georgia -23.5 (large)
Texas Tech -8.5 (large)
Tulsa -20 (large)
Nebraska -26
Texas -25
Mississippi +8
UAB +14
Penn St -15.5
Okla St -13
Utah -21 (-120)
Cincinnati +20.5
Navy +7
USF/UCF under 52
Ga Tech/BC under 38.5
Buffalo/Pitt over 44
UConn/Temp under 38
 
since not that crazy about Okla St as the week goes on, still considering offsetting Okla St -13 with Houston (currently at 15.5), which would essentially cancel the play (minus juice) and still leave a shot for a win (or two) if game comes 13, 14 or 15

need a quick education.
If the line moves, you suggest tease it up or down, or just lay off the game.
one opion, with Paul Johnson ( navy triple option coach), at G Tech, I like them over most of the time, they might not defend but they will score.

kasper - true enough, GL this week
travis57, acarpio, rts -
oldschool - not much on teasers, would depend on game, true GT defense may struggle now missing 2 LBs, hopefully the rain and wind move into Chestnut Hill

Hey Nos, any thoughts on the Bowling Green/Minni Game.  The line has dropped fro 6.5 to 5.  I am also looking at the A&M/New Mex under 38.5 and NW over Duke -6.5.  I think that game has dropped also to 5.5.  Would like some imput.  Like your other picks in TT, TEX, Georgia and Neb.  I has already layed the wood on those games.  Make some money.

slomotion, reno, precise, laslo -
 
wagerofsin - thanks bro
 
huffer - would seem like A&M/NM has a decent shot to be low scoring, would think NW significant QB and defense advantage would prevail as long as weather is decent
 
jrsteel - opposite side on Navy, like PSU/TT, not sure about USF

With A&M scoring only scoring 14 again Ark St and NM only 3 vs TCU, I think combined scoring 38 will be tough.  Granted A&M turned over the ball quite a bit but nothing in the red zone.  NM on the other hand was only able muster up 9 1st downs againt TCU.  Three turnover also non in red zone.  NM also had a 81 yard pass play which result in a field goal 3 plays later.  17-3 looks like a good final score with A&M on top.  Under is the play.

I am looking at the following:
Nevada (+10.5) EVERYONE giving love to ttech.  Their offense deserves it, but i think nevada keeps it closer at home, at least getting the back door.
 
Pitt (-13)  Pitt was up by 14 against Bowling green, took the foot off the gas, got caught and puckered up.  Do not see same happening at home again.  Buffalo getting too much love IMO, especially after impressive week 1 cover.
 
Temple (+6)  REVENGE AT HOME AFTER BEING RIPPED OFF LAST YEAR IN CONNECTICUIT.
 
Wash st (+13)  Wash st. getting too many at home in PAC 10 tilt.
 
Texas (-25.5)  UTEP WAS AWFUL against Rice.  June Jones committed to future w/ 2 freshman qbs.  Texas 3rd string could cover this number
