How the hell do they keep putting that many points on the Iowa games? NO WAY they get to 41 points. That line has Iowa winning 31-10. Asking for the Iowa defense to score 24 points is asking a lot.

I know Nevada is horrible (just lost to Word Incarnate), but Iowa's offense ranks DEAD LAST in the nation, and they're not even close to the team that ranks second to last. Yet Iowa is a 21.5 point favorite over Nevada. Guess that means Iowa's defense will have to come up with three pick-6's and a safety to cover the spread.

I think the over for isu looks like a play.
Maybe ODU?
Maybe Tulane +20? Seems like a lot for kst. Tulane is competent.

Think id like FAU +10 at home a lot, if UCF hadnt just lost to Lville.

Is Nevada +1400 on the money line worth a sprinkle? You figure Iowa should at least win and probably have their best game of the year to this point, but if the offense is as pathetic as it’s been, all it might take for Nevada to win is scoring on a broken play. South Dakota State almost did it in Week 1 but missed a wide open receiver on what would have been a sure touchdown.

How has Oklahoma been bet down to -11.5? Does the coaching change make Nebraska less crappy?

Do I take that -11.5 now, or is it going to keep going down?

Nevada is real bad.

It's unlikely, but the value is there. In super low scoring games, a couple fluky plays can be the difference. I wouldn't be afraid to drop a token on it.

I put $10 on SDSt at +400; didn't work out but it was clsoe.

Something about teams rallying together for a week following a coach's mid season firing. I don't really know much about this Oklahoma team yet, and with Nebby being a wildcard now, I think it'll be a stay away type of game for me.

Nebraska only loses close games. No matter how bad or good the team they play is, they'll lose by 3-7 points.

I’m going to try to bet that game live and see if I can get in at -9.5.

My best bets for this week:

Texas Tech +10.5 @ NC State
Louisiana Monroe +49.5 @ Alabama (way too many point IMO)
Texas State +30 @ Baylor (doesn't seem like Baylor's offense is firing on all cylinders, plus I don't think Texas State is horrible).

Favorite homer pick:

Iowa State and Ohio to go Over 47.5

That Tulane line shrunk a lot.
Vandy, Texas, New Mexico, and (gulp) Kansas. It's only money lol.

Tulane seems like it’s become kind of a trendy pick to cover late in the week.
