Give me some Input...

A couple post into this and I a pride myself as a better baseball bettor than football, so the transition might be a little rocky for me.

Looking at Week 1 there were a couple games that stood out to me.

San Diego St -1.5 over UTEP
Tennessee -1 over California
Miami -3 over Florida St

I actually saw Miami -2.5 for a short time at Pinnacle.

I like these 3 bets because they look to be somewhat sharp.

I don't really trust UTEP on the road at almost a pick 'em.

As much of a disappointment as the Vols were last year, I think Tenn is the play due to the injuires of Cal's OL. Getting the home team at -1 seems like the play. I never have had any faith in the Pac 10's defense anyway. USC...cough..cough..

Florida St I think will have some troubles this year as the majority of their defense is gone. Big rivalry game and it looks like FSU is a big public underdog. Both teams play each other tough, but I think there might be some value getting the 'Canes -2.5, if that happens.

Those are my thoughts. Starting the year I really hate playing too many games. I try to be selective as I only picked 50 games last year leaving me with a 32-18 YTD record. Not sure if it was beginner's luck or not, but hopefully with what looks like a very knowledgeable NCAA forum...I can get some help to better myself here as well.

Thanks.

at first I liked cal but am now way off of them with mixon and others being out. Miami -3 looks like a play for sure, they are just better even with the suspensions plus being at home and revenge from last year. SDSU looks like a tossup game im not sure who takes that one. Good luck but you should be all right so far with those picks.

Decent looking card. I am like Nick, I wanted to bet Cal but not sure I can do it with the injuries up front in the Tennessee heat...

These plays are by no means locked in. Just ones I am considering.

Looking for some feedback form the board as to why they would or would not support these plays.

i don;t get how you can say miami is beter than FSU.

 

[TroyStacks]

thers no value at 3.5 for the favorite given this rivalry

 

[NickFazekas]

are u serious troy?? merriweather, atkins, olsen, wright, phillips, and a few others i left off im sure are all better than ANYONE fla state has
(rolle is only a frosh)

Buster Davis is the only player for Fla st who could start at miami right now.

 

[NickFazekas]

75% on fla st +3 so I beg to differ there is no value on miami. I had fla st last year and as we all saw they got lucky as hell to win needing that botched snap. Wont happen again miami might roll this year.

Like all those sides except SDSU. Really just picking the SU winner at that spread.

GL.

i still like FSU i'm not sold on miami. if they win this whichIMO this is a toss up, they will run the table same with FSU. i think the winner of this game will be in the NC. call me crazy or nuts but i believe that whoever it maybe

 

[TroyStacks]

i was looking at +3.5

I said Miami's value would be at -2.5, not -3.5

Lookin at many differewnt posting forums around the net it seems as if these are the majority picks.

BC
USC
ND

Is USC really that easy? I actually liked Arky +8 when it opened up, and now its rising. I guess I just like home dogs and the fact that Leinart, Bush, White are not there any more make me want to side with Arky.

BC & ND?

I guess I would pick ND as the better team, but Reggie Ball is one with the moose. I just see 3 popular road favs and I am a little hesitant right now to play them. I think SDST might close as a dog....but not sold on that one yet.

Any other thoughts?
