Not much better in the bowl games: http://www.therxforum.com/showthread.php?t=1009654&highlight=
Let me offer my usual disclaimer: I am not a system player. I play games based on certain factors and my knowledge of the game. Whenever possible I will give my reasoning for playing a game which will help you fade, follow or just laugh at me for being an idiot. There will be times where I don't have time to post a writeup. That does not mean I like the game any more or any less.
9/3/2015 (0-0, +0.00u)
North Carolina Tar Heels +2 (-110), 1 unit: These are two bad defenses. In a shootout I'll take the offense that is significantly better. Here's what worries me...everyone loves the Tar Heels in this game and that rarely works out well. That being said they just have too many weapons for the Gamecocks and I expect North Carolina to get a big win on a neutral field to start the season.
Utah Utes -5 (-110), 1 unit: Did he just say Utes? This number is inflated due to the Michigan and Harbaugh factor. I expect the Wolverines to be better but for that improvement to come later in the season. The Utes are a bruising team with 7 starters back on each side of the ball. They have a massive special teams advantage which should help them control field position. Opening on the road at altitude is just too tough of a task for Michigan.
Tulane Green Wave +7 (-105), 1/2 unit: The Blue Devils have been an ACC contender the past few years but things have changed. First, they've gotten quite a few breaks over the previous couple of seasons. That tends to even out. Second, they've lost their QB and top WR and don't have the defense to shut anyone down. The Green Wave has 16 returning starters, a nice running game, and a competitive defense. A TD just seems like too much to give up on the road in the humidity of New Orleans. Look for Tulane to keep it close and have a shot to win at the end.
Minnesota Golden Gophers +17, 1/2 unit: Hold your nose special. No doubt the Horned Frogs are one of the most talented teams in the country. I'm counting on the Golden Gophers ability to control the clock with the run and short passing game. Minnesota also has an experienced secondary which should allow them to play man with a spy on Boykin hopefully limiting his rushing yards. Just have to hope this one does not get away from the Gophers early as they don't have the weapons to play catch up.
