I was fortunate to get North Dakota at +26.5 VS Utah...........Line down to 22 but still value above 21 IMO..............I really think that BSU/Troy line will slip fast too.....Better get it while its above 10 while you can.
Utah is down to -21 as of this afternoon. .....Moved quite a bit the last few days.

Red Wolves are no pushover........They have tranfers from Iowa ST - Boise ST - Arkansas - Clemson - Bama - and QB from Oklahoma Justice Hansen who looked good last season....While they only return 5 guys back on defense - they are all playmakers......Combined with the transfers coming back this team is really talented............Their O-Line was a mess last season and turnover will do this unit some good....
Nebraska will have all sorts of problems moving the ball this year......They brought in a bad QB from Tulane....At the least it will take this offense several games to gel.....They also lost a lot of talent on "D" including their top 3 tacklers and best pass rusher...
I think this game stays fairly low scoring and close.....

I officially pulled the trigger on HAW / Umass OVER 61.5
Love that Hawaii offense........QB Dru Brown looked great in his FR year and could breakout......With what this team has coming back on the O-Line and how they run the ball they should be a offensive juggernaut.....
U Mass QB Andrew Ford got better as the year went on He threw for well over 300 YDS in 3 out of the last 4 games of the season.....He also looked very good against a really tough BYU defense...........He ended the year by putting up 342 YDS and 3TDS / 0 INTS vs this Hawaii team..
Both of these struggled on defense last season......When these 2 teams met up on NOV 26th to close out the season there were there were a combined 940 YDS and 86 points allowed...

Texas is my strongest play in the opening week.....They are just too strong for Maryland.....TEX will rush for over 300 YDS here I think and this game could be a complete blowout......I think Coach Tom Herman makes a huge statement in his debut.
I have major concerns for Texas run game. Chris Warren has not shown the ability to stay healthy. Porter got less than 50 touches and didn't show much promise. Texas could find themselves putting all the pressure on Buechele's arm if these RB's can't produce and although I think they have the WR's for a heavy passing attack, I worry a bit with Buechele's decision making. He started out hot last season but then fell off towards the end and anytime you lose to Kansas and throw 3 INT's against that talentless team there are some development issues at QB.
Hopefully, with this new staff, they have got him back on the right path because I believe college football is better when National Powers like Texas, Florida, Notre Dame, USC, and so on are contenders (9-11 win teams). As much as we may love the Cinderella (Boise, Houston, this year might be USF), the big games like we get with Oklahoma vs Ohio State or Alabama vs FSU make for must see football games because of the history between the two programs.

Yeah, Warren suffered a concussion.......I am not sure if he has been cleared yet.
But I like them in this spot VS Maryland regardless....I like Buchele and thinks he plays more consistent with a year under his belt. I think HC Tom Herman gets the kid playing good football on a consistent basis...The O-line brings back 75 career starts and should be a real solid unit to run behind.
I just see Texas winning on both sides of the line of scrimmage in this matchup
Maryland's defense just could not stop teams with quality run offenses...They gave up over 250 rushing YDS 6 times last season
On offense they had trouble running the ball against quality defenses......They have yet to name a starting QB which is not a good thing for them either.
I do not like Maryland in this spot........I do not see them moving the ball much and think they will struggle putting up points.
Although MD is doing a good job recruiting the last 2 years - they still are outmanned against a very athletic Texas team @ Texas

Great way to start the season........Played out as I thought.

Really like ARZ ST -24 the line has dropped to 22.5......Lots of value.......Im not sayin AZST can compete with top PAC12 programs but they are a much better team coming in this season....Especially on the defensive side....They brought in D-coordinator Phil Bennett who has been coaching defense for 40 years.....Most recently with Baylor who had some great defenses playing against powerhouse offenses in the Big12 IN RECENT YEARS (MINUS 2ND HALF OF 2016).......There is tons of talent on this squad - many 4 star recruits...... I think QB Manny Wilkins breaks out in his 2nd season as starting QB and will open up their run game.
HC Todd graham is aware this is a do or die season.......His guys will come out strong against one of the worst defenses in the FBS.....NMST defense has given up 50+ points in 11 of their last 25 games..........Not including bottom of the barrell FBS team Texas ST - the last time NMST held any team under 30 was in OCT 2014 when they gave up 29 to Idaho......Their HC Doug Martin is 10-38 at NMST against very weak schedules playing in the Sun Belt CONF..........Dont know how he is still coaching considering he has not had a winning season in 12 years as a FBS HC....There are not many teams that recruit worse than NMST.......AZST just so much more talented and have motivation with Todd Graham's job on the line this season.....Everything indicates a complete blow out in this spot.....
Im not sayin AZST will go to a major bowl game or will threaten USC in the PAC South......Just that I love them in this particular spot.....Talent wise and athletically this is a huge mismatch and AZST should be up by at least 17 in the 1st half IMO....

I give Costal Carolina props for their 10-2 season last year.....Had they come into the FBS last season I think they could have won 6 games but this year they are far less talented having lost so much talent and their bread and butter poer running game will have to be completely replaced........
I thought U-Mass played good enough to win VS HAW last week.
just could not hang on in the 4th QTR......HAW will be giving everyone trouble this season with that offense.....
U-MASS is a much better team than their record indicated last season they played 3 SEC teams and easily covered the spread in all ............They are on the come-up and are just flat out better than this C.C. squad IMO

I dont expect the UT ST offense to do a whole lot of damage to the Badger defense but with what Wisconsin has lost on that side of the ball it would not surprise me......This team has lost a lot of playmakers...There 2 best pass rushers TJ Watt and Vince Biegel they lost to the draft - 2 best players in the secondary Musso and Shelton also gone. Also lost defensive leader Jack Cichy to injury........They will still be a good unit but will take a decent size step back.
On Offense they are much better this season and I think they put up 40+ here.......The badgers have 4 returning starters on an O-Line that averages 6'6 320......They have traditionally been a good running team but this season they will be better yet...They broke in FR QB Hornibrook who became more efficient as the season went on........They have a lot of talent on offense including TE Troy Fumagalli who may be the best in the CONF.
UT ST has only 5 returning starters on defense and have ??? marks there..... WI offense should over power them and roll
Not comfortable taking WIS -28 as I really think that WI may struggle a bit finding their identity early.
