Good stuffJust 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
I could get behind this. Neither can run yet both will try. Both lose huge playmakers at WR. I can see both doing enough to move chains but slowing inside 30’s. If looking at last year I would probably toss out anything vs Iowa Wisconsin Ohio st Michigan as those were really good defense and horrible offense outside Ohio st. Maybe dive deeper into Rutgers Illinois Minnesota type games.Looking hard at Purdue/Penn St Under 54.5 Both teams rarely made it over 55 total pts last yr in Big10 play unless playing Ohio St or no secondary Michigan State.
Yeah, Penn St offensive line big ????
Good stuff
Purdue is interesting. PSU is always a hard team for me to gauge personally. Clifford I’m unsure what to make of at QB. Run game and O line as you said seem suspect. Putrid rushing last year. Purdue not much better either.
Both teams have above average QB imo. Purdue thumped off 2 top 5 teams last year. Bell wr tuff loss. PSU should have the better D. Definitely a plus with returning experience for Purdue
Purdue at home +3.5 seems solid
ECU! Oh boy. I can attest to having a very long affiliation to this team. All I can say is if you like the +10 better sprinkle some on ml. ECU is notorious going back to the damn 80’s upsetting high ranking teams. The 90’s early 2000’s vs the mcnabb, Vick, White teams grabbed some close games and upsets. Even the stud Miami teams ECU thumped off twice. They are also notorious for shitting the bed vs anyone. This is a pretty hated rivalry and emotions will be high.
State has a really good team. Lots of talent back. However, state has one big thing in common with Ecu. They also shit the bed in these moments lol.
Ecu brings back qb Ahers for his 13th season I believe. They have some talent at RB. Defense was a disaster pass few years. Team is more conservative offense than previous years.
Best bet is probably going opposite of what ecu does first half. And going with total over. Ecu up 28-17 half take state. Vice versa.
And I do agree with LSU. Some good talent on that defense. Kelly new coach and even with off field distractions last year. I think they can lean on that defense enough and get the win here.
I’m sure Penn State D will be good and with that woeful OLine under may be the play indeed. Explosive plays should be limited. Just seem everytime I take an under we get kickoff returns punts blocked and turnovers not in ideal situations. If I take an over we’ll you guessed itLooking hard at Purdue/Penn St Under 54.5 Both teams rarely made it over 55 total pts last yr in Big10 play unless playing Ohio St or no secondary Michigan State.
Yeah, Penn St offensive line big ????
Well you show your age if you remember the Vick ecu days especially if recalling Thursday night games lol.. Thursday night espn football was good stuff till nfl fucked it up. And yes the lefty is back for year 13 at qb.Ahers is back??? Gaaaa dam thats first Ecu jersey ever retired not because of achievements and it’s on display but bc his ass never going to leave and you can’t get it off his back!!! If Skalski is back at Clemson then throw his ass in there to! Cashing NIL and social security checks! O yea recently I remember some Ecu lines around this number opening the year and getting that outright W. Vick roll down there on a Thursday night ESPN Game back at VT if I recall correctly. Didn’t they play Miami in CLT and win bc of a bad storm down there or something. Seem like they haven’t caught any traction since running Ruffin out of there and what he do just win games go to bowls and give some guy name Lincoln Riley an OC job what was he thinking??? Got to believe points will be scored State will dial up some points on this D but like you said hatred and emotions running off the charts. The qb top notch but State lost the wideout and tackle not sure what they bringing back. Opening a season everyone think they have a chance at doing something special until reality sets in and opening with a rivalry makes it that much more interesting.
Hawaii lost their qb to portal. Along with many othersVanderbilt going to Hawaii laying 6.5 is interesting. Vanderbilt will be playing its first bowl game in many seasons and first bowl in program history in august go dores!!!
Similar thoughts glancing at the lines. SEC team at Hawaii who lost they qb and many others and still can’t lay a td looks funnyHawaii lost their qb to portal. Along with many others
Vandy is just bad but has a decent qb. I get the sec ass whippings. But even outside conference they been bad. Lost best player LT to portal. Watched spring games past two years and ehhhh they just seem lacking everywhere.
They can’t score ( avg like 15 game) and defense gave up who knows but probably 50 a game. Though we are talking sec big boys stacking on em.
Hawaii at home gets new coach the rainbow legend himself Timmy Chang. I’d lean bows at home with no tape on what offense does under Chang and new stadium I believe. Emotions may do just enough if hyped up win or maybe back door cover.
I’d maybe trust Hawaii offense just enough to keep it close at home under circumstances. Just my opinion though. Plus hard to go against the Samoan boys if they are hyped playing opener vs sec team also. That trip is a distraction also. Going to paradise then getting a haku dance thrown in your face by bunch Samoan freaks also.
I was big on Hawaii at home su vs Zona the other year. Catching 11 also. Zona sucked but maybe comparable to vandy. However Hawaii was much better team than this years

Yeah when ya drop witty one liners like skalaski for Clemson cashing NIL deals and social security checks you expose a few subconscious things and clues lol. Along with Thursday night football ECU.Chris with these teams changing all these offensive names I know you feel a certain type of way when you see Nashville Predators roll across the screen. I think we should change the name. Just go totally random name em Nashville Birddogs or something hell anything but preds
Total set at ironically enough same as PSU Purdue 54.5Quick pro con fwiw. No expert on either team here
Hawaii
new coach. Never been a HC
Local Hawaii legend though
Lost a lot everywhere O and D portal
Offense should be fast pace spread
New stadium home opener welcomes the bow legend Timmy Chang to the helm.
No tape of offense system for vandy
Some experience at LB DT CB OL RB
Vandy
O line is not good
QB has experience
Have two QB’s both may play idk
No WR’s
No run game
Defense returned experience
LB’s and Secondary appears to be biggest strength
Some experience S CB LB QB
Talent wise Vandy edge imo
Atmosphere scenario wise Hawaii edge imo
Hawaii will have some senior experience. Especially up the middle DT LB. Have a very good big athletic CB. Former Georgia kid who can lock down 1 side of field vs a Vandy team.
O line experience and quality with few good seniors and a good RB. QB job probably goes to Arizona st transfer. WR depth likely biggest concern outside uncertainty at QB
Vandy Defense funny enough the strength. Back 7 has some experience. QB Seals probably wins job but they have another kid with some reps. May see them both early who knows. O line and WR biggest concern
Looks like we get two teams that have strength up the middle on D. And both teams weak on offense. Vandy probably wants to lean on the run and Hawaii with Online RB experience under a new offense and QB may do the same. Sloppy game on offense may be the tune. Under could be the play.
The missed court date got you in the news somewhat recently strategically planned for relevance? Not a bad move. Hockey not played in these parts but respect the craft.Yeah when ya drop witty one liners like skalaski for Clemson cashing NIL deals and social security checks you expose a few subconscious things and clues lol. Along with Thursday night football ECU.
However, due to legal troubles and my TV career going belly up. I am no longer allowed to associate with Nashville due to their mascot. Not a fan of hockey anyway.
Yes I made my home at the RX. It’s my safe space amongst my hard broken times. Not allowed via my attorneys to discuss my legal matters. Let’s just say I was bouncing bad cfb picks like checks. If I could only catch gambling Winners like Predators.The missed court date got you in the news somewhat recently strategically planned for relevance? Not a bad move.

One poster made good point on Purdue and another on UnderI think so big bust special early 5 of them couple unders and some dogs thrown in there boiler up pirates and warriors???
Home is home! Seem like a lot of the rx members like having you around. Your a legend. Not sure about your hockey take but everyone sees things differently! Texas State not sure of but if you going action must be taken!!!Yes I made my home at the RX. It’s my safe space amongst my hard broken times.

Can’t respect the hockey craft. Just a bunch of white dudes with sticks chasing and slapping a black thing around.
Any info on Texas St? Will be at that game in Nevada week 1. Not a clue on Texas st but catching 9 vs a complete different Nevada team.
