Record 0-0
Yes, I'm a "newbie" here, but have been betting sports since 1995. I've had more winners than losers. A guy last weekend told me about this site and I decided to join.
First look: Oregon. I bet them on Sunday and laid the 20.5. Since then the line has moved up to 21, and some spots 21.5. I wouldn't worry about that too much. I see an Oregon blowout. James Madison is just "happy to be there." 2nd...JM has never played on the road at a place like Autzen Stadium. Usually, being at home will have the opponent get called for three or four "false start" penalties on offense. This is part of the home field advantage, and Oregon has one of the biggest of all...extremely loud!! I believe that JM will be intimidated from the start, and won't come close to covering this line...
Pick#1 Oregon minus the points...
Second look: Hawaii +3. The Hawaii football team has preformed very well in the role of Home Underdog. Since 2020, Hawaii has an 18-6-1 record at home getting points. That's a trend that is hard to go against and hard to ignore. The California Golden Bears record as a road favorite, they often win the game and don't cover the spread...
Pick#2 Hawaii +3.
Third look: Michigan +5- playing Texas. I live in Houston and I can tell you the Horns were CRUSHED by not landing in the playoffs. The fact that Tulane and James Madison did make it, just twisted the dagger in their hearts. Texas has NOTHING to play for in this game. They will likely be without a few senior starters who don't want to risk injury. On the flipside, Michigan has known for weeks that they would not be in. They might be without a few seniors too, but I still see more motivation with the Wolverines. Bottom line: business trip for Michigan, vacation for the Horns...
Pick#3 Michigan plus the points.
If anyone has anything to add to this, go for it. I'd love to hear. Good Luck to all!!
