Wrote this in my week one thread, sometime in late August. Week one results kinda messed some things up in terms of what I was looking at, but these were some of the sides I was interested in as the lines came out earlier today. Posted plays as they happened in the week two discussion thread, and will get them posted here soon.
- Very interested in Bama @ Texas. Statement game, not a believer in any Texas hype, and will take anything under 14 points immediately.
- SJST @ Aubbie. Could be a look ahead to the Penn St rematch. If I see a +24 or better though, I'll take a shot.
- Tenny @ Pitt. Revenge spot, as Vol turnovers cost them LY. Would love to catch 4 or more.
- Tucky @ Florida. Depends on week one, of course. Kentucky has the ATS #s lately, but there's revenge on table. Could the Gators be a slight hm dog? I'll be on them if so, or if basically a pick em.
- Ville @ UCF. Also depends on week one, but leaning towards UCF at home if less than a FG.
- Baylor @ BYU. Looking at the Mormons, and hoping for less than a FG.
- ASU @ Okie Lite. Lean Cowboys at anything below a TD.
- USC @ Stanford. Stanford has the ATS #s lately, but lean USC. Their 1st test, which they must meet. Will take them at anything below a TD.
- Oregon St @ Fresno. lean Fresno St at less than a FG.
- NIU, if a road dog at Tulsa
- Wisky, if less than two TDs hosting Wazzou
BM was down when making most of my plays earlier today, so used mostly BOL.
Bama was sitting at -20 to -21 by the time I saw it. Was really hoping for less, as I feel we're paying a premium for anything over two TDs. That said, when BM was finally back online for me, I saw Bama at -18.5 and took it.
Aubbie/SJST is sitting around 21.5 to 22.5, and it's just not enticing enough for me to take a flyer. Tbh, I'd need a lot more to even consider.
Was really hoping to catch Tenny as a dog at Pitt, but they were -5 when I first saw them and have climbed to -6.5 since. Too much. I coulda laid a FG, but no more.
Was really hoping to catch Florida as a dog too, which wasn't gonna happen. Tucky is a solid team, and owns the ATS numbers. By the time I saw this line, the Gators were favored by 6 pts. It's since come down to 4.5 to 5.5, but that's still too much.
Louisville had such a horrible week one, that UCF was at 6 pts by the time I saw it. It's rising at some places too. Was hoping for a FG, but I did finally take UCF -6 just a bit ago.
Was hoping to see BYU at under a FG, which it is now, but when I saw -3 I took it. Was the 2nd game I played earlier today.
Okie Lite has been between 10 and 11 all day, but I wanted less than a TD.
When I first saw USC today they were -10.5 pts at Stanford, who owns the ATS history against them lately. It's between 8/5 and 10 now, but it's still too much thanks to week one.
Fresno was a pick em when I first saw it, so I jumped on that as my first play of the day. The Beavs had an excellent week one, but road openers aren't their spot. These games are made for Fresno.
NIU was a 6 @ -115 when I saw it. This one is the only early play that I regret. It's at 6.5, and could climb to a flat 7 soon. Not in love with this side like I am most others, but had too quick of a trigger finger this afternoon.
Was hoping to see Wisky at 14 or less too, and first saw them at -17.5 pts. Think their defense will completely hold down Wazzou, so jumped when I saw a flat 17. Had I waited for BM, I could've got a point better though.
Anyhow, this was my starting point today. Should have exercised a bit more patience, but it is what it is. I'm typically never around on Sundays as the lines come out. At least I'm on the sides I had initially targeted. Unfortunately, just a lot of (hoped for) value was lost due to week one results. Back to work though. Still tons of work left to do with this new week, as I hope to rebound from a lackluster week one.
