    Boston College -6 v. Syracuse

    ^ Dirtiest line of the week. Public will be lining up to back Cuse (and we know how it usually works out when the public backs a road underdog) after their huge win against VT and Babers emotional post game locker room speech. Last time everyone saw Boston College they got drilled by Clemson on national tv. Eagles are off a bye + an extra day. Line says the Eagles win this and public is sucked in.

    Favorite play this week is VT. They were in a terrible spot last week coming off that UNC win and Miami on deck. They will look a lot better this week at home in front of a big Thursday night crowd. Wheels have fallen off for Miami. Anything under a TD would be a play for me.

    Lean to Penn State early as well. Nice bye week for them finally starting to play better football. Back to back road games for Ohio State coming off that big road win in Madison. Obviously don't expect Penn State to win this, but getting 21 at home? All day.

    I like Arizona State getting 7 as well. Arizona State is a different team at home than on the road. Tough spot for Washington State with a long trip off that huge UCLA win.

    Like Lville a lot too, but just too many points (will wait to see if that number comes down). NC State isn't going to have much left in the tank coming off that devastating loss to my Tigers.

    Couldn't agree more, going to snag VA Tech at -4 first thing this morning. Not only do they matchup well it is a Thursday game at home.

    So should I bite on BC -6 when it finally shows up on my site, or will public bets bring it down even more?

    Terrible spot for the Razorbacks. Lots of people underestimate the effect of emotional highs and lows on college players. Back to back tough home games for them going on the road against an Auburn team off a bye and a team that's finally getting it going. Anything under 7 should be a play on Auburn.

    Agreed. However +9 is tempting. Especially with how this series has been in the past. I think it is at 7.5 now. Just saying if you do like Arkansas now is the time to get it. I am personally not touching it.

    Jumped on BC -5.5 probably could have waited for it to go down, but if it opened -4 screw it. Did it small but have no problem taking the opposite of a possible sucker bet.

    My thought process on that one is both teams have one win, both teams have an FCS loss, NIU has hung close their last two MAC matchups. Blindly I would say no one should be giving 21.5 in a matchup of 1-win teams, but what do I know?

    Obviously if you're just messing around this post can be ignored, also if you really have a system you dont need to give me a huge detail. Do you just plug in certain stats or what? Just wondering because I started tweaking with something for March Madness last year and my 'projections' were almost always within 0-2pts of the Vegas spread using just actual statistics, was wondering if you use any other factors. (Yes I know mine was for bball, but as a math dork I wonder). Thanks

    pickem picks for the week. they put out lines on tuesday so some are different than current

    VT -6.5 mia - with the rest of you on miami wheels falling off
    OSU -23.5 ku - kansas is bad. that tcu game was more tcu sucking dick than jayhawks being able to keep it close with a half decent team
    BC -5.5 cuse - purely because of this thread
    WV -5.5 tcu - been riding WV and fading TCU for most of the season.
    A&M +16.5 bama - if A&M doesn't turn the ball over it could be a close game. may throw a small hail mary play on A&M +650
    Utah +5.5 UCLA - ucla has only beaten one team with a pulse this year in byu and barely beat them. i'll take a decent team getting 5.5
    Auburn -9.5 Arky - bad matchup for Arky. our strength on D is stopping the run and their D sucks horribly vs the run game
    PSU +19.5 OSU - again mostly because of this thread
    OU -13.5 TT - might be my least favorite out of these picks but still like it bc fade TTech

    I bit the BC -5.5 line, considering biting on Iowa +3 and hoping one hits, haha will probably just go 0-1 with BC and kick myself when Iowa wins

    He has been. The only update I could find was from last week and they were expecting him to be back this week, but it was a throwing hand injury and he couldn't grip the ball so who knows.

    Love your confidence. I think Auburn wins but 10 points is a lot to give Arkansas. I am not touching it and pray for an Auburn beat down for fan purposes. BOL
