Still haven't seen an FSU line anywhere that I can actually bet... probably going to be 30 by the time I get a chance to play it.
 
Nah-- at this point, I'd rather wait because unless you are ready with certain numbers and feel, I'll wait to see how the lines move.
 
I just don't see how Miami covers. We've played two ranked teams, and both have blown us out. If FSU doesn't lose to NC State, I'd guess that line is near 21 or 22. Preseason, the line was 13 I think. Now with either a somewhat injured starting QB or a deer in headlights QB, with an FSU team that has shown the ability to blow teams out, and a Miami defense that hasn't shown it can stop anyone unless the other team stops themselves (UNC still had near 500 yards total offense), I see FSU winning by 30 honestly.

The rivalry aspect may keep us in it. Crazy things happen in rivalry games, but I think our best chance was FSU coming in undefeated. I'd play it, but not for anything more than a normal bet.
 
Lots of over potential this weekend but getting to the time of year where the weather matters. Bad week last week but I'll be back

Army/Eastern Michigan Over
BAll St/Central Michigan Over
Northern Illinois/Akron over
Cincy/Toledo Over
Baylor/Texas Over

Really like Cincy/Toledo as well robbie.

FSU will kill us and Louisiana Tech can name the # this week

I would say load up on Georgia against Kentucky. They can't lay enough points.

1. Georgia is coming off a bye week ... the week before they got embarrassed by South Carolina. Recipe for UGA to play well and play hard.

2. Kentucky was down 49-7 at Arkansas when the game was called ... with 5 minutes to go in the THIRD QUARTER. Their only TD? A 70 yard pass. The true freshman QB was 2-10 passing for the game. Arkansas' QB threw for 5 TDs and was pulled right after halftime. UGA will light that *** up.

3. The team might have quit. It's all freshmen and sophomores (I think they started 3 true freshman in the secondary at Arky saturday or something like that). That was the kind of beating that can just demoralize you.

4. The fans have definitely quit. Everyone wants Phillips fired as corch. In a stadium that holds 70K and even in bad years would be pretty full in the past, they've been getting in the upper 40Ks. After what happened, I wouldn't be surprised if some shocking number like 30K was in attendance.

About the only thing that could save KY is if the other true freshman QB (Patrick Towles) miraculously returned from a high ankle sprain. That dude is actually good.

UK is different at home, though and UGA is still soft.

Just saying.

They came into the year a very young and not very good team. Injuries have decimated them, and at this point it's a bunch of FR-SO's playing that don't have a clue what is going on. The QB is a true freshman that wasn't even the primary QB at his high school last year (played WR mostly), and was 2-10 at Arkansas. And the defense can't stop anyone. I don't see any way that Murray and crew don't hang 50-60. I really don't.

And factor in the fans discontent. That isn't gonna be so much a home game ... but a neutral field game. The program is in shambles.

And yes, UGA can be soft ... but coming off that embarrassment and having 2 weeks to fix it, I would think that they will be ready to play and have something to prove.
 
Oh, and fun KY football fact.

They have now failed to score an offensive TD in the 1st quarter of their last TWENTY games.



Oh, and forgot to add ... anyone care to guess how many yards Arkansas had after the 1st quarter saturday? 307. That is not a typo.
 
Locked in..

Kansas St. +3.5
Rutgers -4
Houston -4.5
LSU -3
Louisiana Tech- 31
Louisville -8
Ball st. -3

Think I'm taking FSU -17 if it stays... **** I hate betting against my Canes (never have) but should be easy money.. And it would be worth the loss of a unit if we win..

Do you really think our D is going to show up for the first time this year?? I don't, I expect it to go the way Kansas st, ND and Last 2 fsu games went I really can't see us staying within 20 especially if Ryan Williams starts.. I understand what your saying Grad, I just can't get behind this Defense yet to young.. 6 of our front 7 **** 8 of 11 starters on D are sophomores or younger we can't hang with fswho yet..
 
Emotions say over 23.5 first half Chargers with Rivers and Manning. But that absokutely has the feel of a square play. Problem is when i played the game in my mind i had a 17-14 halftime svcore.
