Here are my pre-season plays so far;
All small 1/2 unit plays to start.
8/27; Wyoming at ILL. ILL -11. Not one of my better plays as you can get -10 now at DraftKings. Still I think Illinois will take advantage of a depleted Wyoming squad (Connelly has them 129th in returning production.)
9/1; Penn St at Purdue, Under 54.5. Both of these two could not get a good running game going last yr and Penn St has a very good secondary. In league play last yr both had final scores below 55 pts in 7 of the 9 league games. They did not play each other and for both teams the two over 55 pts in league play were Ohio St and Michigan State. Penn St has won last 9 vs Purdue and 7 of the 9 were under 55 pts. (Also like Penn St -3 but with thin offensive line waiting until close to game time to pull the trigger. Want to make sure no O-lineman go down in August.)
9/3; Colorado St at Michigan, Over 57.5 pts. Homer play here as a Michigan fan. Michigan offense should be better than last year, defense replacing a lot. Norvell brings the air raid offense to Colorado St and he brought a bunch of Nevada offensive players with him. Expect the Rams to either get pts or create more possessions for Wolverines.
Other leans; New Mexico St +38 at Minnesota. Jerry Kill New coach at NMSU and he was formally Minnesota coach when he was forced to retire with epilepsy. Now has it under control and back in coaching. I don't see Fleck pouring it on a former Gopher coach who will get applause from Gopher fans when he takes the field. Note, see the line dropping, +37.5 now. May have to jump on it soon.
--Ohio St to win over 8.5 league games @ +125 - Draftkings (undefeated in big10 play). I believe Ohio St will go undefeated in regular season.
Good Luck everyone!!
