Anything jumping out?

Houston-5. Houston probably top 2 team in AAC . Offense should be good. On road -5 vs UTSA who losses much of that past 2 year run. Not fan road faves but line may be off due to UTSA past 2 years. Different team now and coaches

Army +5 same situation vs Coastal who had 2 years of senior talent. Extra covid eligibility etc. Hard for small school like that to maintain. I have this Army -3.5

Virginia Tech -7 at ODU. Like the changes last year at VT. Nice spot to build off of. Watched the spring game and looks like they have some talent out there. Two good QB options. Curious who wins it. Lacking a little at wr. D looks pretty deep and solid.

West Virginia +7. Not sure Pickett loss is that big of deal. Bit of a old rivalry here. Like WVU a bit better this year.

Arkansas-7. Boy bears lose a ton everywhere. Playing in hog city won’t be that easy for Total new team. Hogs are in good shape. Have them in the 4th-5th best SEC range.

Boise +4. Beavers quietly getting better past 2 years. But this is a really solid and deep old Boise team. Probably my top pick win Mwc. Got my eye on a sneaky Air Force though. Believe the Boise stock is low after past 2 years. Think we see a SU win here.

Any games out there with early looks? Who you guys got?

Lol just a troll. Don’t sweat it. This is why you can’t talk games in this place anymore. Likely just some new create account poster trying stir the pot.

Now 2-5 opinion is different if she gives an opinion to why they like the other side. But she as you noticed just said zero in regards to why they like the other side.

Also the thread asked thoughts who ya like or opinions. A welcome to throw some opinions out. But notice she didn’t say anything about that either.

Just calling someone out, because of fudging records.
Hell of a year last year you had. I enjoyed all your posted plays as well. Always great insight! Since you created a new account a few weeks ago will you be posting plays and winners under this account or one of the other ones. Because I look forward to your winners as always

So 2-5 huh? I posted 6 plays/leans to talk about. And last I checked 2+5=7. Now I love fudging my record. But looks like you are an expert on fudging as well. Nice math!

This year it will be, no trolling, no bashing, too much of that crap on here last year and nothing was done about it

If you see that kinda BS you can PM me directly, if you report it I may or may not see it

What? You mean posters can actually try and discuss games as the place should be for? Wow going back to the early 2000 RX era huh. Man use to be some good posters and information in the early days.

I mean it’s 3 months away and here we try and get a topic going for anybody to chime in about and all we get is a ghost account troll response! Yanks34 is nothing more than a bot ghost account poster. And easy to see who also.

Opinions and differences on games are perfectly fine. Just bring a simple reason or opinion why. I wouldn’t let disagreeing always be bashing.

Be nice if the place gets back to the good ole days. There were lots of good money making cappers back then, along with way more civil game discussion threads.

I'm going to try Chris, been a poster here for a long time, ever since new management started place has declined IMO

I hope everyone from the past 2 years come back, I'll do my best to prevent the bashers from harassing them

That point system that's in play will do the trick I think (see above sticky)

I dont think the trolling has been too bad in this forum these past few years.

The problem is that we've lost TOO MANY good cappers from years ago (due to trolling or whatnot) and we really havent replaced them.

It always angers me when an POS troll goes after a top capper here b/c they lost a game. Unappreciative prick

There have been plenty of times where all top cappers were ON and this forum felt like a hot blackjack table

It was fun when this forum was 3 pages deep on a wednesday talking about upcomming games.

Capping has been a little bit wacky these past 2 years due to covid and transfer portal on steroids.

Good cappers didn't leave because of Trolls. Good cappers left because they started to lose. I have been around since the beginning. And alot were fudging there records. I will be posting NFL and some college, bust my balls I don't care I am better than 75% of you.

The transfer portal makes it hella hard to analyze some of these teams. Game changer for sure. That’s why it would be good to discuss some of the games and get opinions to come in from posters who follow teams closely. Some good info can be discussed.

CFB has never been as bad troll wise as NFL. Some cappers quit posting not because they may lose but because the threads get hijacked and turn into stupid shit. Just look at this one. Besides the original post what have we done to discuss any games? We get distracted over the second poster in the thread. This is why it’s almost pointless to try and discuss games. And why win or lose cappers leave or shut up.

Thanks for your early leans Chris.

Lots of reasons why people don't post, or stop posting. Capping has gotten more difficult with Covid and transfers as previously mentioned. Bowl season is unbettable almost due to opt outs. Some posters have probably stopped betting entirely, due to life situations, lack of funds, etc. Why post if you aren't playing? Also, it gets time consuming to post - for what basically is a public service with no real value to the poster.

For me, its about sharing ideas and plays, potentially finding a hot hand or someone who is really good at a sport to add to your bankroll, or sharing plays in a sport that you are good at. And it gets hard to continue to post when you are losing.

People trolling others will not stop. Just ignore and post games - it's an internet forum and keyboard warriors are everywhere. Check out Twitter for a few minutes, its nothing but constant ridicule.

It's way too early for me to even start looking. Once Phil Steele mag hits my hands, then I can get a better feel. Hell, I just found out that Jordan Addison was at USC and not at Pitt LOL. But one thing that stands out is that Houston play. If Clayton Tune still QB, that offense will be fine. UTSA was a bad defensive team last year, and lost some big weapons on offense. Way more analysis to do, but on face value I like that one.

Just scanning the lines Purdue at home to Penn State +3.5. Solid season returning 15 starters from last year and more of a fade on penn state. Penn State oline is atrocious way too many question marks heading on the road for the first game.

ECU +10.5 is interesting two schools that despise each other not sure what ECU bringing back. High on NC State with Leary but it is NCState. Heading down true road game respect to NC State for taking that game to open the season not easy one of those game you look up it’s 31 24 in the fourth or something.

LSU has been a disaster but I will take LSU over FSU dont care who what when why or how

Ohio State over ND see above
