    Most of the betting sites (ActionNetwork, Statsalt, W+W, etc.) think that the spread is too large. I don't think it is but I always stay away because backdoor covers in 4 score margin games infuriate me.

    I like the over I think. Coastal Carolina might hang 45 by themselves. Kansas is god awful.

    What's that bottom bet? First score?

    Ya--first score is bottom bet.

    I think it's too big a line as well but since I'm betting CC gets 1st score td, I'm saying they may run away early so I felt I had to be consistent and give the points early.

    Its not a high conviction bet--just making the game a little more tasty.

    I hear you. I'm going to play the over I think. The rest of these games are pretty much garbage. Although I'm not sure why Utah State is only less than a touchdown favorite over North Dakota. I get USD won last week but Utah State (up until last year) had looked like they were going to be a team on the rise.

    Last year they had that atrocious running quarterback that quit and transferred as soon as he got benched and then they finally looked somewhat competent in a couple games. They also beat Washington State. Just by the laws of conferences, they should beat UND by two scores.

    I know very little about either team just trying to apply that last line with reason.

    Coastal and Grayson McCall are fun to watch. We made a killing on them last year.

    Absolutely love that SF/LA teaser. As long as the weather is good, that's my play.

    Going to give the Yankees a final shot after betting them twice this in the past week or so against the Jays. Green + Chapman pitched once in the Jays series and the Mets are just as bad lately and just about eliminated.

    -115

    Right now I have SF -2 and LA -1.5 on my site. I usually like to wait until Sunday morning bc of all the different variables

    I normally don't take games the night before but I expect this line to go up tomorrow if/when it's announced that Spencer Sanders plays for Oklahoma State. Gundy said he anticipates he'll play (Covid).

    They looked bad last week in a win against Missouri State, but Tulsa looked even worse in a loss against UC Davis. Had no idea they even had a football team, only basketball.

    It's a risk but I jumped on it. I also like Pitt laying the points on the road (-3 is ideal). Joe Milton for Tennessee is a garbage passer and didn't light the board up running it last week. Pittsburgh returns 26th year senior Kenny Pickett with years in the offense and Pitt always has good edge rushers and man to man corners.

    I'd like to ride Liberty but Troy is going to make this tough--will play it live.

    Army's starter QB went out after 1st half and they were worse without him--still, the backup was decent and he starts today. Their defense was flying--don't know if that was an aberration as I'd never watched a whole army game before.

    I took a small bet on Army -6. I mean it's the 20th anniversary on 9/11. I couldn't not bet on them.

    Auburn is sleepwalking thru the 1q--still, I don't see a bet to make right now.

    Welp I was wrong about Ok State but took Oregon TT over 23.5, Pitt -3 and have Colorado +14.5 live and TCU/Cal over 46.5.

    @Brook! I'll post tomorrow when I see the injury reports.

    Thanks Man.

    I got $100 in my Pointsbook account. Want to bet wisely. $250 loss stings. I will listen to words of wisdom. @IDFjet - Thanks for warning me about the Cowboys. Let the picks coming for tomorrow's game.
