Discussion - Partial Week 1 Opening Lines now out at 5Dimes

[carolinablue]

Apparently this batch of Week 1 lines have been out for a while now, but since I didn't see a thread already posted, I figured I might as well get one started. Sure, it is way too early given all the uncertainty that lies ahead, but that's what makes this fun right? Anything catch your eye or jump out to you? Are any of you guys planning to use 5Dimes this upcoming season? Looking forward to hearing everyone's early thoughts on these way too early Week 1 lines.

At first glance, here are a few that caught my eye...

Colorado State +8 mainly due to the rivalry factor
UNC +4...I know my Heels tend to disappoint in the first game of the season, but this one has toss up written all over it at first glance
Boise -9.5...I believe they have a solid number of guys returning but haven't dug deep into anything this early
Navy -11.5...I think Hawaii is going to be one of the youngest teams in the country this year...Navy TT might be a good bet here

31 for the ville....wow. what do you think it would be with Lamar? 21?

 

[Ryno14]

I expect Tennessee to be much improved by actually having a coach, so getting a TD with them on a neutral is tempting.

Michigan pick is a gift. ND lost a lot, Shea is good to go, get a lot of injured players back, WRs dynamic, another year of growing up for young studs and should be full of piss and vinegar this offseason. Cant wait.

who's the LSU qb?

who's the LSU qb?

good question

 

[RetroVK]

good question

Same question every year lol. I thought dumping Miles was supposed to clear up this problem. Get every position on the field, every year, otherwise ... but never get a QB (my horns do this too, though the other 21 haven't been as good as LSU for awhile).
