Couple of things that initially stand out. Most of the favorites are favored by a little more than I thought. Hampton / Grambling game is played on a neutral field. Hampton is ranked much higher than Grambling, yet Grambling is favored. Was hoping Iowa would be around 21, probably will still pop it.

Anything here stick out to anyone?

 

[KingKrunked]

perhaps i dont understand cfb as much as i should....but i see osu and kstate on there...i'm assuming the line considers their opponent being in the 1-AA?

 

[KingKrunked]

and another thing, i'm going to this game:

Sat 9/2 837 Northwestern State +24½
7:00PM (EST) 838 Kansas -24½

 

[NickFazekas]

anybody got UNLV vs idaho st?????

 

[Doug Clayton]

unlv with the usc transfers playing will cover some large spreads this year

 

[NickFazekas]

don't know about that doug, but they will definitly cover -21 or less vs idaho st, we'll see if they put a line out.

 

[abcs]

UGA is 33 pt favorites, if u tease that up there is no way they cover

 

[Helmut]

I will look closer to the Duquense @ Bucknell game today. Intially it appears as if they have the wrong team favored.

 

[jimmyd]

I would lay the 24 with Tulsa, but not the 28 with Okie St.

TU's first foe features plenty of youngsters
By MIKE BROWN World Sports Writer
8/30/2006


'Jacks hope to improve defense, but only five linemen have game experience.

One of Robert McFarland's first priorities in rebuilding Stephen F. Austin's football program is bulking up a defensive unit that was one of the worst in Division I-AA during his first year at the helm.
The Lumberjacks rated 104th nationally in total defense and allowed more than 30 points eight times in a 5-6 campaign.
"We weren't at all happy with where we finished. We had a lot of personnel issues with what we're trying to accomplish. It starts in recruiting and we're trying to build some depth," McFarland said.
McFarland favors a 4-3 alignment, but the Lumberjacks went to a three-man front often in 2005 because they lacked sufficient numbers to do anything else. Opponents rushed for 183 yards per game.
Are they better in his second season? McFarland hired Darren Drago from Southland Conference rival Northwestern (La.) State to coach the defensive line and presented him with 16 candidates, nine more than last year.
But more doesn't necessarily mean better. All but five of the linemen are true freshmen and 13 have never played a collegiate down.
The Lumberjacks will have to grow up in a hurry when they visit the University of Tulsa on Thursday night in both teams' opener.
TU's offensive line has four seniors who started every game of the 2005 Conference USA championship campaign.
SFA does have a defensive strong suit. Keldrick Holman heads an all-senior secondary that intercepted 17 passes last year. Holman had six interceptions and received I-AA All-American honors.
The Lumberjacks were almost as good offensively as they were bad defensively. Senior quarterback Zeke Dixon threw for 2,407 yards and 20 touchdowns as SFA tried simply to outscore its foes. Among the highlights were a 27-21 overtime upset of Nicholls State, eventual conference champ.
Danny Southall is waiting in the wings to take over for Dixon. He threw for 704 yards and five touchdowns and actually started one game before breaking his leg. The 6-foot-3, 214-pounder is also a threat to run.
Though picked to finish last in the Southland for the second straight year, SFA has had winning seasons 11 of the past 13 years.
As a former SFA assistant, McFarland was part of the last conference championship team in 1999.
McFarland spent four years as a Central Florida assistant (2000-03) and watched TU's win over the Knights in last year's C-USA title game with great interest.
"I knew what kind of coach Steve Kragthorpe was from when I was here before and he was (a Texas A&M assistant). He was very impressive from listening to him speak. He's done an outstanding job at Tulsa and obviously he has that program going."

jimmyd: Tulsa strong suit is the running game. Very deep, and scary good. Tulsa is also rated as the #1 defense in C-USA. SAF last, and TU predited 1st in C-USA. They should be able to outdo SFA by 28. If you were planning on playing the game. I have no account at 5dimes.

 

[TroyStacks]

unlv will cover large spreads with usc dropouts hell they are better than most players starting in top programs just assholes off the field

 

[BullrunMtn]
