Louisiana State -8 vs. Brigham Young from Houston, Texas
LHH, the -8 opener was quickly bet to -11 at SP. Currently -11.5 at 5D. BTW, 5D previously had -14 @-110.
If you scroll down to the South Point betting sheets that are scanned in the link, you'll see two columns. One for opener (5/25 I believe) and another for current (5/26 in that article). Some initial line moves are seen on a few games.

Western Mich loses it Coach QB and stud Wide out? I will lay it here.
I was hoping for -21 or less to back USC. Quickly bet above that # with all of the WMU losses that you mention.
Under may be worth a look in August when Totals are released. I don't think WMU scores much and their back 7 on D I think can somewhat hold the USC offense to a reasonable point total, say high 30s. Based on both offenses 2016 performance, may still get a pretty high # for the Total.

Local didnt believe that was the line ( he matches)
Well I moved the 5D # to -4 with one wager. Right after I locked in the -3, it was already -4. Not surprising really as discussed in other recent threads.
Note that South Point actually opened NIU -2 and that was quickly bet to BC -2.
Good luck this season DoubleUp.

YEs, I saw that later. I think with BYU's close game last year, there is still a lot of backing for BYU. I know people that will back LSU will get mocked (beat em up LSU). I think it will be a relatively close game, then LSU will pull away and cover in Q4. Houston is a fertile recruiting ground for LSU. As long as Etling lines up behind center, LSU will grind it out, move the chains, and play D. And I think the 2016 week1 loss to Wisc on a neutral field will motivate them. The 8 to 11.5 move was done predominately by sharps, and not the public, in my opinion. Granted, the public could push it higher, but I think the minus 10-12 range is a good line, if we can get it...

5Dimes is funny this time of year
$3-10 wagers can often move the longer shot futures
So Far I am on BC -4 and Colorado st -2.5////
Doubt I will touch any other week 1 wager for awhile ....
BEST OF LUCK BROTHER
LETS MAKE SOME GREAT COIN THIS SEASON
BEST OF HEALTH, HAPPINESS,WEALTH, BLESSINGS and LUCK TO ALL !!

Why?!?!?! BC stinks... a million games to choose from and all you can come up w/ is BC?
I agree BC has some issues, playing on the road at NIU..but, what are your plays that you consider better value than this? right now, I have Texas, LSU, Bama, Kentucky, and Memphis...

I've never like to bet games early. By early I mean before the week of the game. Way too much can happen before game week. I've seen solid information go south with injuries, suspensions, etc., too many times.
With that said looking at current lines, these teams look worth following until the season starts to me.
USC, Texas, South Carolina, Florida, MTSU, LSU, Tennessee, Marshall
Just my take so no one needs to get their panties in a wad before the season starts with these likes. Lot's of water will go under the bridge before game day!

So MikeMed - are 100% sure that Thomas Woodson will be 100% for the Penn St. game? Is this 35 pt line a reflection that the books don't believe that he will? The Backup appears to be Nick Johns a tr from NE Oklahoma...They have 4 starters returning on D...I understand Akron has some solid coaches (former Power 5). Plus, Penn State has a revenge game with Pitt in week 2. I disagree that Penn St. is overrated, I think they are legit. But, considering the circumstances with Akron, is that particular line over inflated for that tilt?
