[smbruin22]

i know it's duke, but ND giving anyone 7.5??

[bills217]

Mississippi State @ Arkansas -13 (I am going to be fading the [censored] out of Sly Croom and his luckbox)
Kentucky @ Georgia -6.5
Vanderbilt @ Tennessee -11
LSU -22 @ Ole Miss

[bills217]

Ohio State -6 v. Michigan (Hart/Henne status anyone?)
West Virginia -3.5 v. Cincinnati
Boston College v. Clemson -7.5 (iggy's prediction of 7 seemed way high at first, but after looking at it, it made more sense)

Iggy,

Doesn't it seem like that GT line is pretty high? (10.5)

[iggymcfly]

Just saw the early lines. I like Cincy +7, Oregon -13.5, Kentucky +8, and Clemson -6 quite a bit.

As for GT, I'm not even going to try this week. I was about 1-3 betting on them this year and then last week, when I bet against them I lost that too. Maybe I'll have an opinion on the total when it comes out as my O/U leans on GT have actually been pretty solid this year.

Arkansas -9.5
Oregon -13
Cincinnati +7
North Carolina +10.5
LSU -18
South Florida -6.5

Can anyone explain why Arkansas is now favored by 10 against Miss. St? Croom and Co. have beat UK on the road (granted we played about the worst we possibly could have) and just beat Bama. Arkansas is an average team at best, despite having McFadden. I was thinking this line would be around Arkansas -3. What am I missing?

Also the UK line of +8 is tempting, but I would wait until we know if Little is going to play or not. The moneyline in this one may have a lot of value.

Duke +5.5, 1u

not taking Ark at -10.5.

Just a little ND/Duke ramble.

This is a really bad match up for Duke imo. Duke moves the ball almost exclusively through the air, where Notre Dame's defense is the strongest (I realize this is partially because teams run all over them and don't have to throw much). In addition, Duke's defense is near Navy level bad (not quite that bad,, but bad nonetheless). Notre Dame can and will score points. DOn't think I would take either team, maybe the over when it comes out.
