Usually not a fan of these as the books do a pretty solid job of putting out a number that is right about on the button. But did see a couple of teams i thought had a number worth taking a shot at.
MSU Over7 1/2 -120..................Usually not a fan of backing MSU as they tend to blow games they should win which is not good for a season win bet. But i like Dantonio as a coach and the D is pretty loaded this year which should take some pressure off of the offense breaking in a new QB and RB. I think their schedule sets up favorably as they miss Ohio State in the Big10 and get Penn State at home. Non conference is the MAC of course (CMU and WMU), Montana state (ikes) and Notre Dame. First 5 weeks of the season will set the stage for what this team does IMO. I personally think that the road games at ND and at Wisconsin are both winnable. If they can not slip up versus CMU in week 2 and then handle Michigan at home in week 5 i think this team could be 4-1 and well on its way to a good season. Iowa at home in week 8 is a pivotal game as well. I just really can't find more than 4 losses if this team plays up to expectations. Picked 3rd in the big10 coaches and media poll, a 7-5 season would be a major disappointment IMO.
UAZ Under6 1/2...................I think they are really going to struggle on offense this year and the schedule is just brutal to end the season. I can see them losing their last 4 games easily (at ASU, at CAL, Oregon and at USC). Middle of the season will determine their fate with at string of games at OREST, at Washington, Stanford, UCLA and WSU. I can't see them going on the road to beat Iowa and the CMU opener is no gimme. Arizona will not sneak up on anyone after the bowl season of last year. Unless they solve the QB spot in a big way, i can't find more than 4-6 wins on this schedule IMO. I expect Oregon to be playing some good ball late in the season, so as i said, 0-4 to finish is not out of the question. Plus 3 straight road games early at 3 very tough places (Iowa, OREST and Washington) may seal their fate early. Stoops thinks this is his best team, but im not seeing it and the schedule sure doesn't do him any favors. 4H/5Road games in conference this year too. Cats will have done well to put together a 7-8 win season IMO.
looked at a bunch of others but honestly too close to call. Would have liked to have played NCST Over this year as i like them as a possible sleeper, but at 7 1/2 wins the books i guess do too...lol.
feel free to add any others if you have them. reasoning is always nice/key.
GL to everyone!
