Saturday Plays:
No comment on Tex/Ohio St.... let the experts handle one...I made plays with TEASERS already
Toledo +10 x 1 U
-Toledo is picked to win the MAC and when they are rated this high, they tend to overachieve when they play in non-Conf
-Kentucky had a down year last year and will be motivated, but not sure how 'sharp/ready' that will be with another good team to over come double digit spread
-good QB returns, Kentucky gets Calzada the start and both teams can play defense .... Toledo spanked Mississippi St 41 - 7 on the road last year in week 3 ...with a weaker rated team and same QB
- if the total was 49.5 ....I would go under but its down to 46 ...I can see Toledo scoring around 17-20 pts and Kentucky, who knows how ready the offense is to start the year...if its like other teams, they will be live and death to score 24-28 pts.
Note: RB from Kentucky got injured ...did a transfer to Toledo
Old Dominion +24 vs Indiana x HALF U
-full credit for Cignetti igniting a good bond and discipline play last year...they had the offensive pieces and on the defense as well
-this year, I think they step back just a bit but still have a strong year
-looking ratings, this ODU team rated higher than last year and they almost pulled off a shocker beating S.Carolina to start the season..... YOU JUST KNOW, their 5th yr coach will have the boys playing hard and ready to go
Georgia and Marshall - I can see Marshall getting 10 pts ...maybe 13-17. Will Georgia score more than 42? I doubt it so +38.5 seems like good value.... will appear in parlays that I won't post
Taking FSU if decide to play it ....in parlays ...waiting for +14.5/total of 49.5 can I see a 28-14 game, sure but I think it will be closer to 34 - 21 or something like that ....27 - 17.....I know what I am getting in Castellanos for FSU who will have a strong defense to not have to force him to rush or feel he needs to take over......Alabama obviously has talent anywhere but with the reserve QB with the clipboard taking over after waiting for 3 yrs, it feels like a Stetson Bennett first time on the field situation where he had flashes of good but very awkward moments too trying to do too much for Georgia.... after holding a clipboard on the sidelines for pretty much most of 2 yrs himself
That's me done after spending time with games up to before 4 pm Sat. I will look at the rest tonight and in the morning....
If you are wondering on the volume of plays..... I just have that feeling Vegas is demonstrating with their lines/totals, they don't have a pulse of who is ready or not ....I very much could go splat on my plays but for now, I will risk and lean towards starting well so I can be more selective as they hone in
Proving is hard. Talk is easy.
