Thanks Coke....been waiting to see these lines.

September 25th:

Arizona State +7 at home vs. UCLA??

That has to be a typo...

 

[culturalstew]

The linemakers at sportingnews.com posted a copy of the official card and ASU was -7 V UCLA!
It surprised me at first but all the lines lean heavily toward the home teams and I would expect nearly universal movement towards the visitors with these numbers!

I agree , its hard to take dogs here unless your looking late in the season....One game that catches my eye is cincy +21 vs ohio st on sept 27 , but if the buckeyes look good in their first 2 games and cincy lays an egg it could end up coming 27. ....You gotta think the line is really off b4 you can take a chance of bad value on a dog ....However 1 dog i love now is Fla +21 against bama. Bama is going to be prohibitive favs in their first few games , but they are not likely to put up baylor type numbers so theres a good chance they're going to be unimpressive in a couple of those games and i think this line will be 17 or 18 come sept 20. (unless florida shits right out of the gate)

 

[culturalstew]

Do you agree, seems like you don't
For example UCLA +7 at ASU and ASU+11.5 at USC seems juicy to me I would expect much smaller gametime lines!

 

[CoachCB]

Is FSU 24 points better than FSU?

 

[CoachCB]

Is FSU 24 points better than ND?

 

[cloverleaf]

Is FSU 24 points better than ND?

One game I have circled on my schedule Coach.

 

[CoachCB]

CL, obviously I can't bet these games.....but there are certainly some underdogs I'd get on. UF +21 is one I'd take right now....and I rarely (very rarely) bet UF (I did take FSU last year and won my biggest play of the year....barely!). That ND line is way too high (right now) in my opinion. FSU can put up points and I haven't looked at what ND has returning on D, but 24 is a ton of points.

 

[cloverleaf]

Give me ND game day +24....I'll be happy for 3 dollars.

Remember, you got ND who always gets public money and FSU who will be overvalued because.......

Lots of Irish will jump on the Noles bandwagon ...fine with me.

 

[CoachCB]

Is Boise going to be good this year? +9 vs Ole Miss seems like a lot.

Vandy +24 vs. UGA seems ridiculous.

How about Clemson +9 vs UGA?

 

[culturalstew]

Any word of line moves?

 

[NoCoke]

Pretty surprised to see Arizona St almost a TD favorite over Stanford considering the two whippings Stanford gave them last year and how much Stanford has coming back.

 

[MattyMatt]

How about Clemson +9 vs UGA?

Definitely think Georgia gets payback and wins the game, but the +9 does seem a bit high. Schools only an hour apart too. But, who knows, Georgia by 21 would be great by me.

 

[culturalstew]

Pretty surprised to see Arizona St almost a TD favorite over Stanford considering the two whippings Stanford gave them last year and how much Stanford has coming back.

There are at least two mistakes in the op and both involve ASU, who is favored over UCLA by 7 and a home dog to furd by 6.5!
I would never do a cut and paste from covers!
Official copies of sportsbook sheets with golden nugget logo are widely available-scanned copies!

 

[culturalstew]

Please ignore the above!

One game that sticks out for me but will probably be a game that nobody even thinks about touching because of the history of the two teams is Iowa/Iowa St. This isn't going to be your usual Iowa/ISU game because ISU's schedule is different this year than it has been in the past. The Clones have to open up against defending FCS National champions NDST. But then has to play their arch nemesis Kansas St. the next week. They've never had to play their Big 12 opener and especially KSU this early, much less before Iowa. ISU has to go on the road for the first time against Iowa coming off a very emotional game and their Big 12 opener. So with just a -9.5 spread and taking off 3 points for home field advantage, Vegas thinks Iowa, with basically everybody back and better on offense is less than a TD better than a team coming off a 3-9 season with a new offensive system in place and pretty much a decimated D-line. I'll not only be surprised if ISU can stay within 2 touchdowns of Iowa, I'll be surprised if the line isn't somewhere around 14 by the time they kick off.
