That TAMU line seems low. They have NO offense.

 

Looks like BTN for Michigan State/Wisco, per a quick google.

 

Makes sense. Game 1 of ALCS is that day. Do they want to butt heads against potentially 2 or 3 really good primetime games Saturday Night?

 

I'll take a piece of Colorado (+21) @ Oregon.

 

Also--
Oklahoma v Texas OVER 75
Texas Tech @ Baylor OVER 57

 

I'm liking Mississippi State -6 1/2 at Tennessee.

 

FSU is bad, but is it really 27.5 bad?

 

Razorbacks with maybe their last crack at an SEC win this Saturday at Kentucky.

 

Miami line has to be a trap.

 

FSU isn't a bad team. They are not good up front offensively. But a five point loss to undefeated Boise and a 7 point loss on the road to a one-loss Virginia team isn't a shameful act. They led in the fourth quarter of both games. Boise wore them down with volume and Virginia got a lot of officiating breaks. Defensively FSU has improved significantly from week one and they have the players on offense to score.

That being said...it's a tricky line. The Clemson that we've seen thus far won't cover four touchdowns, but Vegas (and many of us) still believe Clemson is going to turn it up another level.

Oregon State +14 looks like good value but the Pac-12 is confusing the hell out of me this season.

 

Yeah, not sure what to think of that, other than Virginia has won only one road game and Miami is still a national team (in Vegas terms). UVa did whoop up on Pitt at the ketchup bottle, and I think Pitt might be better than Miami, but who the hell knows in the ACC Coastal. Seems like everyone in that division could beat anyone else in the division on any given Saturday.
