Posting early on a couple lines I think go up, Plus the early games. Will followup with more later this week
Last: 4-0 +400
RUT -7 vs 'CUSE (W)
UCONN/TEM UN 41 (W)
BSU -7 vs FRES (W)
LATECH +9 vs A&M (W)
YTD: 22-18 +330
BSU -27.5 (-110) vs -UNLV sportsbook.ag
Blackout Day and Homecoming in Boise. The defense has been strong and the offense not so. But I see them scoring at will against UNLV, who is off a loss in a game they had in control (leading 21-0 and by 17 at the half)
LALA -4 (-110) @NT LVH
ORE -9 (-110) @ ASU LVH

Here's a couple I have sized up early on this week.
Northwestern(+4.5) vs. Nebraska
I love NW. They will move the ball against Nebraska and score points. Nice thing about this is that they have that short passing, ball control style that will keep Nebraska's offense off the field and should win the time of possession battle. My question is what has Nebraska done to warrant being a road favorite in this game? I thought it would be more of pick or NW -1 or -1.5. NW 30 Nebraska 23 or right around there.
MSU (+10) @ Michigan
Was shocked to see this number as high as it is. If Dantonio has done anything since being at State, he gets his kids ready to play against the maize and blue. This will be a tough, rugged (ugly) big ten style game that comes down to a field goal at the end or possible overtime. Michigan seems to be overvalued as well after pounding on two horrible teams the last two weeks in Purdue and Illinois and State will be fighting for their season in this game. Michigan 23 Michigan State 20.
West Virginia (under 71) vs. Kansas State
West Virginia and Geno Smith showed they were human last week by traveling to Lubbock and absolutely getting throttled on Saturday. Kansas St. will do what they always do and Snyder will run, run, run and slow th game down to give them the best shot to win. I don't think it will be pedestrian, but I feel like Kansas St will chew enough clock up to keep it close, keep the total down and maybe even steal a victory. WVU 28 Kansas St. 27.
Auburn (+7) @ Vanderbilt
Going to be another close, low scoring game by these 2 SEC middle of the road squads. I have unsuccessfully backed Vanderbilt on several occassions this season (including vs. Florida on Sat) and am done with it. They move the ball like shit and Auburn is another team that needs to pick it up and try to salvage their season. After Vanderbilt lost on Saturday I just feel like they might pack if up after not meeting expectations for the year so far. Might even throw a small Auburn moneyline play in there for shits 'n giggles. Here goes nothing! Auburn 21 Vanderbilt 14.
TCU (+2) vs. Texas Tech
Huge performance by the Red Raiders last week. With that being said, I don't buy into the fact that they are now a road favorite in this spot. TCU's defense will hold the Texas Tech offense down just enough and steal a victory in this one. Tech won't play that well 2 weeks in a row, especially against a team like TCU. Coach P gets his kids ready to play in this one. TCU 31 Texas Tech 20.
Any thoughts or comments are much appreciated. I like this card and had a nice weekend this past. Went to The D casino in Vegas on an awesome grand opening trip and killed it. Looking to stay hot in week #8. Good luck to all.
