Week 1 NCAA lines out

[GoldenBears]

I am surprised UW is getting 6 points at Cuse. I was ready to jump all over UW as a pk or 1-2 point fave, but I will stay away now.

I like, and need to examine more closely:

Iowa State -4 vs Kent St
Duke +6 vs UConn
UVA -3.5 @ Wyo
Iowa -14 @ No Ill
Wake +8 @ BC
Arizona +3 @ BYU


Thinking about Akron -3 vs Army and FSU as well, but need to do way more film/reading first.

There are a couple of others that I'll look at if they move how I think they will.

I absolutely love a few of these and one especially

I'll post my picks later

I'm trying to get moniez bets


for those used to me posting here, I will still put up my picks this year.
However, I am no longer writing capsules (the whys).
I've been reading far too much psychology/philosophy/etc and don't think writing up capsules is a value added activity. It's long and complicated, but my picks will still go up somewhere for all to see.

[B00T]

sweet, gl this year... random ?,, were you serious or leveling people in that FGators thread?

[NajdorfDefense]

Miami line is pretty fair. I'd lean 'Canes due to new coach, home team, 16 returning starters, but don't know enuff bout Marshall yet.

[GoldenBears]

Should be going up at most other books early next week...

[GoldenBears]

Arizona is a fantastic line now at +5.5.

U Dubb has moved to -3.5

I like Akron -3.5 (might have moved to 4 some places)

UVA is moving...

[pirateboy]

I'm back for this year and have 3 bets out, but only 1 is a game.

Tennessee +5' @ California

I also have Arizona State O7.5 Wins and Oregon O7 Wins

By the way, Bookmaker has lines up.

[GoldenBears]

Lines are up everywhere but matchbook.

Pirate, you should check out the King Yao-ing thread before you bet season over/unders.

[MyTurn2Raise]

what is up with the ND/G Tech line?

I already checked it out, and honestly, I'm not buying into it yet. Lines are set not to predict outcomes, necessarily, but to get 50/50 of the betting public on each side of the number. Thus, poor public opinions of teams (Cal, Auburn) will hurt the King Yao-ed numbers, and the same can be true for teams like Arizona State and Oregon.

Oregon and ASU were #1 and #3 statistically in the Pac 10, respectively, in 2006. They finished 5th and 6th. They are going to be much better in 2007, and ASU has a super easy schedule to 8 wins at the least.
