I’m still seeing the Vikes vs GB game as a pick. Give me the Vikes in a lock.

I like GB.

Exact opposite of the early season game last year where everyone thought the Packers were a lock and Minny won.
 
GT looks like dogshit on offense. Did not expect that at all.

They had a lot of injuries last week. Not sure who is back this week.

I knew they lost their starting A-Back, but the replacement wasn’t supposed to be much of a step back.

#11 offense in the nation through 2 weeks according to S&P+... Awful defense. Kind of like Wake, but more extreme.

3 and out on first 4 possessions. Ugh.

There are several CFB games this week with lines I like (however, most are road teams):

LSU +10 @ Auburn
LSU +320 to win outright
Vanderbilt + 13.5 @ Notre Dame
Oklahoma -18 @ Iowa State
Arizona State -5.5 @ San Diego State
Toledo +10.5 v. Miami
Toledo +280 to win outright
Georgia tech -4.5 @ Pittsburgh
Fresno State -1 @ UCLA

I like BC -4.5 :couch: but generally don't bet against our Deacs. The LSU and Toledo bets are fliers where I like their chances to win better than their moneyline odds reflect.

Went 4-5 but finished ahead with the LSU money line.

I'm most surprised by Georgia Tech - that was a pitiful performance.
 
I like Mizzou + 14.5 over Georgia.

Intrigued by some other college games, but not much else that I'll pull the trigger on.

If I can get GT +17 or more, I'd take them over Clemson. I'll probably do it regardless.
I've been liking South Carolina (2 weeks to prepare after Georgia beat down and matched up against what I think is an overrated Vandy team)... But so does everyone else. So that's a pass for me.

Other sides that are interesting where I need to do more work:
UConn +27.5 vs. Syracuse
Tulane +37 vs. Ohio State

I promise that I also be favorites from time to time, but nothing jumps out at me right now.
 
The O/U in our game opened at 54.5 and has moved to 60. That's huge...
 
Like:

Tulane +37 (look ahead to Penn State)
Marshall +5
LA Tech +20.5
UVA -5

Normally, I would be intrigued by GA Tech +15.5, but Clemson intentionally scheduled GA Southern the week before to prepare for the option. GA Tech seems to be in a death spiral, and kind of get the feeling the Clemson is ready to blow someone out after the close win over Texas A&M and muddling through the remnants of Hurricane Florence during the win over GA Southern.

Lots of pro players are on ECU +20.5 against USF. Don't see it. The sharps also like WF a lot. Scares me.

I looked at UVA. That’s probably the side I’d take, but passing.

Hadn’t thought about that in regards to GT / Clemson... It just seemed like a good spot for the Yellow Jackets. I don’t think they are in a death spiral.

Seems like sharps AND the public are on the Deacs. I just can’t. I want to, but I can’t.
 
Picks I like:

Minnesota +115 at Maryland
BC -7 at Purdue
UVA -5.5 v. Louisville
Oregon State +180 v. Arizona
Southern Miss -14 v. Rice
 
Big move late on Minny Gophers. I like them too, but first road game at this point in season always dangerous. Same holds true for ND.

A whole lot of meh from me today.
