First run through I see potential:
Buffalo +526 (at Army)
Damn Army looked like a well oiled machine vs Fordham and Fordham should've know what to expect with recent history vs them. Surprisingly Fordham O had nothing. Similar here, Buffalo has recent history vs Army. 2016 Army (-13') was 3-0 and lost at Buff in OT 23-20. 2014 season opener Army (-3) won 47-39. Buffalo D performed well vs Minny last week. I'm just waiting for Leipold to turn things around there.
Middle Tenn +282 (at Cuse)
Would think MTSU bunch will matchup a little better on O and D after facing Vandy last week. Would seem like a high scoring affair, back-and-forth game. Don't know much about this Cuse team I must say. MTSU 0-1 with another P5 road trip on deck (Min), I look for supreme effort here rather than big home game failure hangover.
Tulane +447 (at Navy)
Last year's game was a tough fight. Navy-6 won 21-14. The 2014 game (+23') with prior coaching staff was a close one for the first half then Tulane mistakes bit them. Banks likely gives Wave O some unique play making ability.
North Texas +400 (at SMU)
Need to examine this more, but not sure these teams are that different. SMU has was one the last 2 by 13 and 18.
UNLV +223 (at Idaho)
Bounceback
Georgia +??? (at ND)
Major concern is Fromm's inexperience here, but also question ND's ability to throw vs UGA with consistency as well. May rather take my chances on Dawgs plus pts. How many pts is Eason worth? What was this GOY line?
Oklahoma +258 (at Ohio St)
Baker will need to keep his adrenaline under control in this game. Not sure he can shoulder this game without that outstanding running game from last year, but he'll definitely try to do it all. How that works? OU D probably bigger concern. Would have to keep this wager under my hat as my entire family are huge OSU fans, I tend to be a contrarian. If I played this I'd probably just take my chances on the 7' actually.
New Mexico State +246 (at New Mexico)
Battle of I-25! Something feels different about this NM St team this year. They had some big games on O last year, but I was fairly impressed with them at Az St, both side of the ball. Ags won last year 32-31 (+12'). No doubt Lobos will want revenge. 2015 game (+12') was tied 29-29 in 4th qrt, but Lobos won 38-29. 2014 (+3) was 38-35 Lobos.
UTSA +613 (at Baylor)
Opener for UTSA. But going against Anu Solomon is nice no matter who it is. Obviously major transition year under Rhule, wondering about their roster as well with all the attrition this team has faced. Definitely like the experience of UTSA and in 2nd year of their HC they should be improved this year while Baylor may still be like WTF just happened, I didn't sign up for this losing to Liberty shit. Rhule says no finger pointing or yelling following the loss...maybe there should've been.
Stanford +234 (at USC)
USC sure looked soft vs Western Michigan. Not buying the hype on USC, if nothing else how often are they hyped only to fall on their face somewhere? I tire of the love affair the media has with that team so maybe I'm biased. They will likely be better prepared this week given they face a conference opponent, but Stanford sure knows how to beat that bunch as often as they do it. Best D USC will play all year. It's all on Chryst if he will make enough plays. If Stanford doesn't do it this week, bet Texas will next!
