The Only one I don't like is Tenn +4.5. I think V Tech Defense can stop Tenn Offense. Other than that all goes bro.


Best Conference IMHO are

1) SEC
2)Pac Ten
3)Big East
4)Big Ten
5)Big 12
6)ACC

i totally agree with your thoughs jimmy. the sec teams in bowl games have been money, especially sec underdogs--damn those oddsmakers that they caught on to this angle: only lsu is the sole sec dog this season. as for the pac10--i wholeheartedly agree. the conference as a whole has improved (except for washy st) and the pac 10 has historically well in bowl games.... i do believe the pac10 will surprise a lot of people this season....

I will automatically bet all SEC dogs.

The PAC 10 was outstanding in bowl games last season, and I expect much the same this season, especailly because no SEC and PAC 10 schools collide.  Therefore, both conferences will feed off of the weaker conferences again this season.

I really like LSU +3 , I think this line is a joke, I thought LSU was laying at least 3 myself.

 I have little doubt that LSU is more athletic across the board but.............

 

 JoePa vs Les Miles with 3 weeks to prep?

Penn State plays no one all year and when they do, they get hammered. Even Miles staff can embarass them

I LOVE how UConn plays, and Randy Edsall is very, very good coach.  But I agree with you that the line seems a bit short.  USC is very physical and has an awfully tough defense, so I think your Huskies will find the sledding pretty tough.  At -4.5, I think you've got to side with Spurrier here.

Osirus, I know you've been around here for a while, that you're a Texas fan, and that you have a super hot chick as your avatar , but I only ask one thing of you.  Can I please hold all of your anti-SEC bets?  I won't even charge you a vig.  I hate to see you give your money to those evil online books!!!  Afterall, the kids need new shoes!!!

Absolutely!!!  And with all the turmoil surrounding Brian Kelly, this is shaping up to be more of a mismatch with each passing day.

Regardless of the outcome of the SEC Championship Game, the Gators are still the second best team in the country.

I love LSU +3 Phancard!!!  My top 3 SEC games are:

#1 Florida -10 (LOL)

#2 Bama -6 (Anything under 7 is golden)

#3 LSU +3 ("The Hat" is still the village idiot, but he's been terrific in bowl games and he's getting points versus the Big 10)

I agree.  This is a complete mismatch in every aspect.  Despite Florida's loss in the SECCG, they are still the 2nd best team in the nation, and #3 is far behind.
