I always play a few early in the week if I think the lines may move a ton.
I read BW's write up on Iowa-ISU and they have it pegged.
Iowa vs. Iowa State
Iowa rose from -3 to -5 in a matter of hours yesterday. I grabbed them at -3 on the buy early in the afternoon.
I think Iowa rolls and I had the line at 7 in my head before it was released. Iowa has a HUGE revenge spot from last year's late comeback OT loss at ISU. Also, I think we are gettign good value this week as Iowa looked terrible at Soldier Field last week against Northen Illinois. The weather was horrible at that game with huge wind gusts so it was a game where they had to take what they could get. If Iowa would have rolled in that one, I think this line may would have been at 6-7 as an opener.
ISU beat Tulsa pretty good but it was closer than the final score indicated as Tulsa was right in it until the end. ISU QB, Jantz is good, but very inconsistent and is a few bad plays away from being benched every game. Not the best decision maker in the world and on the road on opening weekend in Iowa City, he will struggle.
Iowa by 10.
(PS I hate Iowa football with a passion)
Other I like:
Penn State +10 over Virginia
Central Michigan +21 VS. Michigan State
UTEP +7.5 at Ole Miss
Georgia -2 over Mizzou
