Louisiana tech -10
Analysis:
I understand guys. This is not exactly what one would call a marquee game. I get it. But it is important to note that I look for what I consider our best opportunity of the day. Does not truly matter to me whether it is involving an Alabama game or South Alabama game. They all pay the same. We have cashed ten of the last twelve featured releases and I am confident we have another one here. Frankly this is where having some legit, emphasis on legit, sources can pay out. Skip Holtz is building something special at Tech and just has too much talent here on both sides of the ball to stub their toes. They have gone bowling now in four straight years and I anticipate a fast start out of the gate here. The Jaguars are a work in progress and will make strides but this is a short line for Tech to clear. Unless they just have o†ne of those nights with the dreaded turnovers (Purdue) they should take care of business here and clear our number. Smith is a dual threat QB who should actually be able to wing it some against a suspect Jaguars secondary, he will not have to do most his work on the ground. Bulldogs won last year 34-16 and even though it's on the road I do expect at least a two touchdown margin when the clock runs out.
Different season but same emphasis. No game is a lock. That is an ignorant term concocted by crooked services to take advantage of newer, naive sports bettors. Please play this like any triple. No more or less. Many sincere thanks and enjoy your holiday weekend. Good luck to all of us. Enjoy the game,

3-Unit Play: Take 151 FAU +21 over Oklahoma (12 noon, Saturday, September 1)
I'm taking the points with Florida Atlantic on Saturday. We are under no delusions that OU will be stopped up front by FAU's defensive line. But we do believe the Owls will keep this one inside the big, public number. The Sooners will run the football, but don't sell Lane Kiffin short on having his team ready to go. Kiffin doesn't care about a recruits background too much, we all know that fact. And FAU is made up of very talented players who were simply castoffs at major programs. Included in this is an offense loaded at the skill positions. In other words, the FAU roster knows they have the talent to hang with OU. Add in Kiffin's offensive genius and the fact the Sooners will be breaking in a new signal caller and we are betting the Owls hang the number. We're taking the points with FAU on Saturday. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.
6-Unit Play: Take 177 Louisiana Tech -10 over So Alabama (7 p.m., Sat. Sept. 1)
I'm laying the points with La Tech on Saturday. South Alabama absolutely collapsed to end last season and the school parted ways with the only head football coach it had ever known. We like the hire, Steve Campbell ought to get the program on track sooner than later, but not here. The Jags will have too much of a square pegs in round holes look to it in the early going and La Tech is a formidable opponent. The starting QB left the program in the spring and there's talk that up to three players could see time at QB behind a makeshift offensive line. La Tech returns 8 starters on offense, including 80 percent of the offensive line ( 4 of 5). The Bulldogs rolled down the stretch, including a 51-10 bowl win over SMU to set the tone for this season. The returning players feel like they were ?this close? to something really big. Indeed, while they finished 7-6 SU, they were three 1-point losses and an OT loss from an 11-2 record. La Tech piled-up 479 yards in last year's 18-point win, including 317 yards passing and 8.1 yards per pass. We expect more success in this season's meeting and another spread covering win. We're backing Louisiana Tech minus the points on Saturday. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.
3-Unit Play: Take 183 MTSU +3 over Vanderbilt (7:30 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 1)
I'm taking the points with Middle Tennessee State on Saturday night. This is a power rating special for us as we have MTSU 2 points better than Vandy at this venue. MTSU will aim to make up for last year's ugly performance against the Commodores. They'll be able to start by attacking Vandy's vulnerable and likely, poor, defensive back-seven. The Vandy defense dominated last year's meeting, but we expect different results here with the 'Dores only returning five starters and having to face an offense with plenty of returning skill position players, including dual-threat QB Brent Stockstill. The road team has covered five of the last six meetings and we'll ride the road team here. We're taking the points with MTSU on Saturday. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.
4-Unit Play: Take 193 Washington +2 over Auburn (3:30 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 1)
I'm taking the points with Washington on Saturday. Earlier this summer, Auburn had a posted Over/Under wins total of 9.5 wins. This number has steadily come down with many books sitting at 9 wins and we happen to agree with the downward movement. We are believers in QB Jarrett Stidham, but we don't like the fact he'll have four new starters up front on the offensive line and new blood surrounding him in the offensive backfield. This is not the place to find chemistry, facing one of the top defenses in college football. Chris Peterson's Huskies are loaded on offense, led by the best player on the field, Myles Gaskin at RB and QB Jake Browning returning for his fourth season as the starter. We also expect bigger and better things from the UW receiving corps, despite a loss at TE. UW returns 8 on offense and 9 starters on defense and they're ready to challenge for a national title in our opinion, while we agree with the downward wins total movement on Auburn. We're taking the points with Washington on Saturday in Atlanta. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.
