The only reason I didn't follow RAS on that game was because the line jumped 3.5 points after the play came out. Should've just taken the chance. Instead, I stayed on the game that Lang picked as some lock of the century!
Gonna be very tough for me to do this on saturday since I'll be away from the computer all day. Also there were a lot of plays posted after I left the office yesterday and I was doing some yardwork and missed them. I'll post what is out there so far for tonight/tomorrow and then just add the link for where to check for more plays

San Jose State at Stanford: What bettors need to know San Jose State Spartans at Stanford Cardinal (-25.5, 50.5) The Andrew Luck era is over and No. 18 Stanford moves on with new quarterback Josh Nunes as it opens the season by hosting nearby neighbor San Jose State on Friday. The Cardinal were national title contenders the past two seasons with Luck lighting up scoreboards – Stanford scored a school-record 561 points last season – and Nunes is hoping to keep the victories coming in coach David Shaw’s second season at the helm. San Jose State is optimistically hoping to reach a bowl game for the first time since 2006 in its final season in the watered-down Western Athletic Conference. But ranked teams have long posted a problem for the Spartans, who have lost 19 consecutive games to ranked opponents since upsetting LaDainian Tomlinson and No. 9 TCU in 2000. Stanford won last season’s meeting 57-3. TV: 10 p.m. ET, Pac-12 Network. LINE: Stanford -25.5. Oddsmakers have posted the Cardinal as 25-25.5-point favorites with the total dropping from 53.5 to 50.5. ABOUT SAN JOSE STATE (2011: 5-7, 3-4 WAC): Junior college transfer David Fales is the starting quarterback and he has potent weapons in junior receiver Noel Grigsby and senior tight end Ryan Otten (52 catches). Grigsby set a school-record with 89 receptions, but had only two touchdowns. Senior De'Leon Eskridge, a transfer from Minnesota, is the main running back. Senior defensive end Travis Johnson (9.5 sacks last season) and junior linebacker Keith Smith (220 tackles the past two seasons) lead a suspect defense. ABOUT STANFORD (2011: 11-2, 8-1 Pac-12): Nunes edged sophomore Brett Nottingham for the starting job in a battle that lasted until last week. Senior running back Stepfan Taylor is looking for his third consecutive 1,000-yard campaign after rushing for 1,330 yards and 10 touchdowns last season. Junior tight end Levine Toilolo (six touchdown catches in 2011) is a solid target and sophomore receiver Ty Montgomery appears ready to step up. Stanford is loaded on defense with senior outside linebacker Chase Thomas (17.5 tackles for losses) leading the way. Senior inside linebacker Shayne Skov is back after suffering a season-ending knee injury last season. Senior defensive end Ben Gardner (4.5 sacks) is the top lineman. TRENDS: * Favorite is 4-0 ATS in their last four meetings. * Home team is 8-0 ATS in their last eight meetings. * Spartans are 0-4 ATS in their last four meetings. * Spartans are 0-7 ATS in their last seven meetings in Stanford. EXTRA POINTS: 1. Stanford has won the last four meetings since suffering a humbling 35-34 loss to the Spartans in 2006. The Cardinal lead the series 50-14-1. 2. The Cardinal have won 23 of their last 26 home games. 3. San Jose State tied for the national lead by recovering 20 fumbles last season and its 33 turnovers forced tied for fourth nationally.
Boise State at Michigan State: What bettors need to know Boise State Broncos at Michigan State Spartans (-7, 46.5) Thirteenth-ranked Michigan State and No. 22 Boise State both feature new starting quarterbacks as they attempt to continue their winning ways in Friday's high-powered season-opening contest. The Spartans are coming off back-to-back 11-win campaigns but no longer have three-year starter Kirk Cousins, the most prolific passer (9,131 yards, 66 touchdowns) in school history. Andrew Maxwell is Michigan State’s new starter. Boise State’s Joe Southwick has even bigger shoes to fill in replacing Kellen Moore, who threw 142 career touchdowns and finished his career as the winningest quarterback (50-3) in NCAA history. The Broncos are playing a high-profile opener for the fourth straight season, having defeated Oregon (2009), Virginia Tech (2010) and Georgia (2011) the past three years. TV: 8 p.m. ET, ESPN. LINE: Michigan State -7. Oddsmakers opened MSU as a touchdown favorite and that spread has fallen to 6.5. The total opened at 47 and has dropped half a point. ABOUT BOISE STATE (2011: 12-1, 6-1 Mountain West): Southwick is a nimble junior who has attempted 54 career passes. The Broncos also have to replace all-everything running back Doug Martin and will call on sixth-year senior D.J. Harper, who has suffered two season-ending knee injuries during his career. Sophomore Matt Miller (62 catches last season) is the top receiver. The Broncos are in transition on defense after losing several key players. Senior cornerbacks Jamar Taylor and Jerrell Gavins and senior weak-side linebacker J.C. Percy are the top defenders. ABOUT MICHIGAN STATE (2011: 11-3, 7-1 Big Ten): Maxwell is a strong-armed junior who has attempted only 51 career passes. Junior running back Le’Veon Bell rushed for 948 yards and 13 touchdowns last season. Junior receiver Bennie Fowler is healthy after missing most of last season with a foot injury. The Spartans are stacked on defense after having the nation’s sixth-best unit a year ago. Junior outside linebacker Denicos Allen had 11 sacks last season and junior middle linebacker Max Bullough had a team-best 89 tackles. Junior William Gholston (five sacks) is rated as one of the nation’s top defensive ends, and a strong secondary is led senior cornerback Johnny Adams (eight career interceptions) and hard-hitting junior strong safety Isaiah Lewis (four interceptions in 2011). TRENDS: * Broncos are 21-7 ATS in their last 28 road games. * Spartans are 5-1 ATS in their last six home games. * Under is 7-3-1 in Broncos' last 11 non-conference games. * Over is 9-3 in Spartans' last 12 non-conference games. EXTRA POINTS: 1. Boise State and Michigan State have never met – the Broncos lost to Wisconsin in 1997 in their lone game against a Big Ten school and the Spartans are 7-2 against current members of the Mountain West. 2. The Spartans have won 11 consecutive home openers since falling to Colorado State in 1998. 3. The Broncos are 23-2 under coach Chris Petersen when having 10 or more days to prepare for an opponent.

DAVID BANKS San Jose State Spartans vs. Stanford Cardinal The Stanford Cardinal begin life without Andrew Luck on Friday, but they will still field a formidable team in a season that opens up with this home contest vs. the San Jose State Spartans from Stanford Stadium in Palo Alto, CA at 10:00 ET on Pac-12 Network. A lot of teams would be devastated after losing the best quarterback prospect since Peyton Manning, tight end Coby Fleener and starting offensive linemen David DeCastro and Jonathan Martin to the NFL, but not the Cardinal, who in fact enter this season still ranked 21st in the country. Often forgotten after all that Luck did to revive the Stanford program is the fact that the Cardinal ranked 18th in the country in rushing offense last year with 210.7 yards per game on the ground, and that was after ranking 17th in rushing offense in 2010. Well, running back Stepfan Taylor is back for his senior season after rushing for 2467 yards in those last two seasons combined, the 11th best rushing total in the country over that span. But what about the two departed linemen you may ask? Well, Stanford had its best recruiting class in over a decade and the fifth ranked recruiting class in the nation this year, and that included two four-star recruits in offensive linemen Andrus Peat and Kyle Murphy. In other words, the blocking will still be there to open up holes for Taylor and also to pass protect for new starting quarterback Josh Nunes, a junior who himself was a four-star recruit when he arrived at Palo Alto two years ago. The defense returns seven starters from a unit that ranked second in the Pac-12 last year in both scoring defense (30th nationally) and total defense (28th nationally), although one of those starters, linebacker Shane Skov, is suspended for this game due to a DUI arrest. San Jose State may not be at Stanford's level, but the Spartans have an up-and-coming program. This team finished at 5-7 last year to fall just one win shy of being bowl eligible, a marked improvement after going 3-22 combined in the previous two years, and San Jose ranked 23rd nationally in passing offense with 276.8 yards per game through the air. Granted, Quarterback Matt Faulkner is now departed, but his replacement has great potential as David Fales fits right into the Spartans' system after passing for over 4600 yards and 37 touchdowns in two years while completing 61.8 percent of his passes at the JUCO level. His favorite target will no doubt be last year's leading receiver Noel Grigsby, who is still just a junior although he already has over 1700 career receiving yards at San Jose State. If Stanford has a bit of an Achilles Heel, it is that it ranked 95th in the country in pass defense in 2011, so the Spartans may actually be able to put up some points here. That was not the case the last two years when Stanford annihilated the Spartans by scores of 57-3 and 42-17 respectively with Luck under center. This series has been dominated by the home teams, as they have gone a perfect 8-0 both straight up and ATS in the last eight meetings. Of course, this is the eighth time in the last nine years that this game has been played in Stanford, although San Jose State did pull the 35-34 upset as a 10-point underdog the last time it was home in 2006. Pick: SAN JOSE ST. SPARTANS+25
Richard Saber @ Gaming Today Friday, Aug. 31 Tennessee -3½ at NC State: The Vols have gone 15-2 SU in their last 17 opening games. The Wolfpack are 0-4 ATS in their last four openers. Tennessee. Boise St. +7 at Michigan St.: Boise State has won their last six opening games. If they can win this one in East Lansing they most likely will run the table. Boise St. San Jose St. +25½ at Stanford: The Cardinal from Stanford have gone 8-0 ATS when laying more than 10. No luck needed here. Stanford.
Mark Mayer @ Gaming Today Friday, Aug. 31 Boise St. +7 at Michigan St.: It was 7. Ask Georgia and Virginia Tech about Boise in neutral site openers. Boise St.
Frank Patron 20,000 Unit Friday Night Move Michigan State Spartans -6.5 over Boise State 100,000 Unit MUST WIN Saturday Move Alabama Crimson Tide -14 over Michigan Only the 100,000 Unit Move is guaranteed. Bottom line is Michigan just will not win the battle at the line of scrimmage. Alabama will dominate on both the Offensive and Defensive Lines and that will put great pressure on Michigan. They are not faster than Alabama, they do not have the big game experience Aabama has and Nick Saban, when given a lot of time to prepare for a team almost always outcoaches his opponent. Im thinking 38-14 for a final score. Play Alabama
Sports Wagers CFB N.C. State +137 over Tennessee Tennessee lost six of its final eight games a year ago and finished 1-7 in the SEC. The consensus is that with 19 returning starters and with a healthy Tyler Bray at QB, the Vols are in position to make some noise but the story is getting tiresome. Bray does have tremendous upside and he could surely thrive, but there are other concerns. The team’s top back Raijon Neal has only carried the ball 73 times in two years. Top wideout Da'Rick Rogers was dismissed from the team for violating undisclosed team rules. That leaves Justin Hunter (2 TD’s last year) and junior college transfer Cordarrelle Patterson to pick up the slack. The Wolfpack get little respect every year but continually deliver some decent football while winning their share of games. They went 8-5 a year ago and blew away national ranked Clemson 37-13 before beating Louisville in the Belk Bowl. Mike Glennon returns after an outstanding first year as starter (backed up Russell Wilson previously) in which he completed better than 62 percent of his passes for 3,054 yards and 31 touchdowns. With a year under his belt and with four offensive linemen returning, he could be even better. In addition to a capable passing attack, NC State has a solid back in James Washington, who went off for over 900 yards and seven TD’s. The Wolfpack are simply the more consistent team. They rarely beat themselves and they have the killer instinct when the opportunity arises. Tennessee is a bit of a wild card again. The talent is there, the results are not and every year they disappoint. The Vols will have to prove that they’re worthy of spotting points against a very difficult opponent. So far they have proven nothing. This game is on neutral turf (Georgia Dome) and we find it puzzling to find Tennessee as chalk. But that suits us just fine. N.C. State +137 (Risking 2 units - To Win: 2.74)
