Mort The Flying Cow
Pretty much a regular
Alright, jumping on a few lines early, though I usually wait...
Central Michigan -3 @ Ohio: Really? Three points? THREE POINTS?!? Ok, sure, CMU just got their tits peeled on national TV and Ohio put THE Ohio State University on the ropes. But Ohio is NOWHERE near that good, and the Chips are NOWHERE near that bad. Dan LeFevour didn't run like he normally does and the Chips played for experience, not to win. An injury to LeFevour or another player kills their season, a big loss to UGa doesn't. The Chips are focused on the MAC title and that starts with a whooping of Ohio. I'd like this line at -10, much less -3.
Arizona -11 @ New Mexico: The Lobos like to lose, apparently. They self-destructed against TCU, then did it again against Texas A&M. Neither team has an offense like Arizona. And, to be fair, Zona has a pretty good defense so far this year. Even if UNM decides to not screw themselves, Arizona will put this game away in the second half. Rocky Long will have his team ready to play and avoid an 0-3 start, AT HOME. But he needed to win against A&M, because he won't do it against the Wildcats.
Cal -15 @ Maryland: Ok, Cal is flying cross-country, for a morning game. That is a concern. What isn't a concern? Maryland. From all accounts, Maryland and Middle Tennessee are identical in athleticism. Change the uniform and you'd never know the difference. Even if Cal is a little sluggish from the trip, they will still be significantly better than Maryland. Maryland has no offense and won't stop Jahvid Best.
ADDED
Houston -4.5 @ Air Force: Don't need to share my thoughts, just see SHSUHorn's post <a href=http://www.cappingthegame.com/forum/showthread.php?t=64112><b>Here</b></a> and my comments on page 2.
Georgia Tech +7 @ Virginia Tech: This will be like the Boston College game, only VT has a worse offense right now. Very defensive struggle which means it should be easy for GT to stay within 7 points, if not win outright. I split my unit in half and took GT+7 and the GT ML at +250. I love Paul Johnson and the option offense and it is working. The fewer passes Nesbitt makes, though, the more comfortable I feel.
<b>Baylor -4.5</b> vs Washington State: I've been eying Baylor since the lines came out, but both teams are just so bad, it was hard to favor one over the other. Now, with the game being bumped up, Wazzo on some CIA-like "get in, get out" gameplan, and Robert Griffin being the only real playmaker on the field, I've jumped on the Bears.
