Pretty crappy slate, with the exception of maybe Michigan-Wisconsin. UAB at Florida intrigues me, though.

 

Holy Cow.
That is a horrific slate of games.
I can see Okie Lite laying the wood on Uncle Bill.
I'll take them and lay the 17.5.

Just saw the OU-KU line is only 35.
That is a very soft number.
I am taking OU and climbing all over that before it gets to 41-42.

Also, just saw this.....
this has to be a misprint.

365 Arizona (7-3) (3-1 A) W-1
366 Oregon (5-5) (4-1 H) L-1 -38

 

Yeah, I didn't list Arizona-Oregon because I figured it was a typo. Once the other Sports Books post their lines, it will correct itself.

 

I am not a betting person but if I were I'd jump all over Cal, with 17 points.

 

I always hate this week of the cfb season. The SEC has their FCS-endowment games, and the rest of the conferences seem to give their top teams a rest before their rivalry weeks as well. It's just a momentum killer. The four opponents of the top four teams are Mercer, Virginia, Kansas and The Citadel. Might be a decent pre-season basketball tournament - but it means its a good Saturday to get a jump on Christmas shopping.

 

Screw shopping. I can do that from my computer. I'll be watching the Florida game.

UAB is 7-3 with the Gators and UTEP left, and UTEP is O for the season. 8 wins seem well within their grasp, but beating Florida and making 9-3 would double frost the cake. I know they have a lot more talent, and pride may motivate them... but they've been terribad, and UAB has a little motivation too.

 

Pure, uncut MACtion on ESPN2. Blocked punt, reverse pass to a quarterback, terrible secondaries, a blocked extra point.

30-24 midway through the second quarter.

 

Man there's little reason NOT to take UAB +10.5. I've been around Gainesville before in situations like these and believe when I say there's a good chance the Gators will half ass the half of ass they bring into the Swamp on Saturday afternoon.

 

I can't wait for Butch Jones, Jim McElwain and Les Miles to get in on this MACtion soon enough.

 

Tech getting 7 at home against TCU with no Hill or Anderson? Yes please.

Other tasty morsels include me taking Oregon as a PK vs Zona,
Oklahoma (-37) @ KU,
Kentucky (+21.5) @ Georgia,
Memphis (-12.5) OVER 75 vs SMU,
Okie Lite (-17.5) vs GBU.
