Initial plays that stand out to me: 

Washington State -13 @Cal
Auburn -7 @LSU
Navy +4 @Memphis
TCU -5 @K-State
Colorado -12 @Oregon State
Houston -13 @Tulsa
New Mexico +3 @Fresno State

Not seeing any home teams worth betting on this week. Thoughts on any of these?

BA, you are the best!

Hit again on another HUGE can't lose ML Par!

If you have any thoughts for this week, I would appreciate it very much.

Teams I am looking at:

USC, Colorado, Houston, Washington, Louisville, Iowa State, Arkansas State.

Do any of the above scream "don't do it" to you?

Or any other team you would toss in the mix?

Thanks for all you do, and hope you are feeling better.

Ertz ?? for K St.....that one might be awhile

also

Cinn  221
USF  222

Unsubstantiated rumor...Ertz surgery and out 4-6.  

 Probably a good thing for KSU as the offense just wasn't working well...though I doubt this staff's ability to game plan a running game for backup Delton (for an entire game, anyway- things have changed as time dwindles for Snyder).  Wouldn't be surprised to see KSU jump out front in the first half- have run for around 560 yards vs TCU last couple of times out.  

I'm laying off to see if KSU gets a first half lead...I'll be ready to go with TCU second half.

I really liked Toledo, but then I checked out the injury report, as well as the weather report.  I would still take Toledo, but the game is supposed to be played in a heavy rain storm without RB Swanson, and WR Cody Thompson...

I feel like i want to encourage ppl to take south carolina +3.5 at Tenn off a bye.  This should be a pretty easy W.  Last week, I really liked Wash St to cover, and wrote up a pretty detailed explanation of why it was must bet.  Unfortunately the rest of the forum was on Oregon, and I didnt want to come off too pushy...

added a few.....

YES....I know Baylor SUX......
   *  BUT.....they are MUCH better.....almost beat OU / hung with Kan St on the road.....and should not get beat by more than TWENTY SIX points by Okie St (Texas next)....plus ya' gotta figure the bye week helps them more too  <  Okie St is NOT still learning new stuff......so not the same....plus the MULLET has only covered 4 of last 11 after a bye

  * like Kan St at 7.......but seems like 1H maybe a better idea

 * those derty Sun Devils also blow.....but much improved as well....just a hunch says they lose by less than 17'
     note:  they also 'own'.....the Huskies ATS anyway ha,,,,,covering 10 in a row wtf.....also won 9/10 SU seems like

ONE  UNIT

Ga Tech  +7
Vandy  +4'
Auburn   -4
Ohio  St  -22'
SDSU  -5
NW  -3
Baylor  +26

smaller

EMich  +4'
TT  +7
Wyoming  +5
NMSU  -4'
Ga St  +7
Fla  -2'
Mich St  -4
Indiana  +7'
Toledo  -7
Ariz St  +17'

few notes on OU / TX.....

I kinda sorta maybe......like(d) OU here...........................
   * as a SPOT guy....the spot definitely favors OU

BUT....I NEVER thought they were gonna be any good this year.....didn't feel right
  * sure the win at Ohio St gave me pause

But a BOUNCEBACK here?......why didn't they 'bounceback' at HOME....(off bad Baylor game) ???.....vs a back-up QB wtf
 $ what's the excuse for the Baylor game?.... looking ahead to Iowa St?

SO....I'm leaning Texas now.......strong lean maybe
  * if I had any guts at all.....I would go all in on Texas / TOM

Usually I stay away from this one anyway.....and bet halftime / in-game.............WHY?


As OU / Texas fans might recall......a team is either ready to play at the START.....or they ain't

Only 3X since 2002 has the team up at the half lost the game

2009 down by 3...Horns came back when Sam B got hurt 1Q
2006 down by 3....true Fr Colt M brought Horns back
2002 down by 3....all time choke artist Chris Simms let OU come back ha
  * note:  never has a deficit more than 3 been overcome

AND.....

Only 5X has the SU winner of the 1H not 'won' the 2H
 $$$   ONLY TWICE....has the total flipped 1H > 2H
  * meaning 13 of 15 years.... 1H went under / so did 2H....and vice versa


The reason why this came back to me.....good thing
  * is because I was thinking that OU might jump out to an early lead......and Horns would come back to win / or keep it close......MAYBE NOT


2016 1st.....

I like Texas. Better defense & ST, and I suspect better all around coach with Riley only 6 games in as a HC. I just wish to hell OU hadn't lost last time out. It made this pick much harder...I like the KSU 1st half pick...GL

the idea.....is to NOT play the FAT / HAPPY favorite.....sitting pretty on top.....just waiting to get knocked off

but to look for a tough / gritty team playing with a PURPOSE.....a favorite that is playing like a DOG.......VS a weak azz dog.....with little shot at doing much of anything

USC......Utah too tough
 Colorado.....NOPE.....Beavs with new HC.....so ?????
 Houston....works most likely sure.....but Memphis in 5 / Tulsa capable.....bad spot for UH
 Washington....not bad / but dog capable and has won 9/10 vs UW
 Louisville.....HELL NO too flaky
 Iowa State.....HELL NO not off that win man..............
 Arkansas State....not bad....but a lotta points + have ULL in 5 days
    * but yep they won't lose to CC at home 

I looked at Ark St.....Hawaii.....Ohio  seems like..........
