Cal (+7.5) at San Diego State, 10:30 p.m., CBS Sports Network

Virginia (+25) at Oregon, 10:30 p.m., ESPN

Eastern Washington also plays at North Dakota State in what should be a wildly entertaining FCS game (3:30 p.m., ESPN Extra). No line, obviously.

 

This is the price way pay for a great opening week. I'm OK with it.

 

Oh, there's a line on EWU and NDSU somewhere.

 

At the early glance, two REALLY stick out.

IOWA -15 vs. Iowa State. The Cyclones will get blown out. Iowa also didn't cover last week so I think that'll end. If they would have beaten Miami OH by 35, they'd be favored by 24 vs Cy.

Ohio U +3 at KANSAS. Kansas had not won in a year and a half. They beat a lousy Rhode Island team. Ohio U. is pissed for laying an egg in the opener.

I fully expect the favorites who blew it last week to bounce back ATS in Week 2 against the cupcakes.

 

Yeah, but I don't have access to the Fargo Elks Club sports book.

 

Kinda wish there was a feed for the stands at Penn St-Pitt. That has potential to be an NC-17 shitshow.

 

Five Dimes has North Dakota State at - 18/12.

 

I'm actually not going for that reason. Got tickets for the Clemson road trip instead.

 

I have dog in the Pitt-Penn State fight. I just love that shirt.

 

I'll take Texas Tech to cover at Arizona State.
I'll take Tulsa to cover at Ohio State.
I'll take Oregon to cover vs Virginia.
