Take UTSA, Memphis, Georgia and Oregon.

 

....And did I just see the OU/Tennessee line correctly?.......

That is very very interesting.
Is Vegas not sold on Oklahoma, or oversold on UT?

 

Take the over, Chef.

 

And the Irish.

 

BYU wins at Nebraska but is a home dog to Boise?

Will look more closely later but at first blush:

Michigan, Georgia, Ohio State (*should* be 62-7 but only 4 days rest too), Colorado State.

 

Bovada has not come out yet, but the consensus is a pick 'em. Fantasy911 actually has Tennessee as a 1-point favorite.

Tennessee gave up 30 points and about 500 yards to Bowling Green, but they did score 59. Will definitely be a statement game for the Vols.

On a fluky-ass play and with their back-up QB in the game. Tanner Mangum is a true freshman, but in true BYU style, he's like 21 years old (he came out of high school the same year as Jameis Winston).

 

Why do I have this odd feeling USF covers against FSU.

 

Stop it.

 

Injured QB impact, I assume.

 

Mangum might be good enough to get the job done, but BYU went off a cliff last year after Taysom Hill got hurt.

 

Has Memphis ever been a two-touchdown road favorite? Not that they don't deserve it at dogass Kansas, but still ...
