Here are my early picks;


Week #1


Purdue -9 I unit
Georgia -20.5 1.5 units
Two team parlay 1.5 units Rutgers -14.5 with Wake Forest -3.5


Games Of the Year (took a few of these since I may be on road)
-each 1.5 units


week 2, 9/7 Mich -20 hosting Army
week 4, 9/21 Mich St -3 at Northwestern
Week 5, 9/28 Ohio St -7 at Nebraska


Team Totals;
Not much of a team total player. There are two teams I believe are slightly overrated.


Neb. UNDER 8.5 @ +110 1 unit
Okla. UNDER 10.5 EVEN 1 unit




Purdue-9 at Nev.; Purdue takes a big step back in overall experience and Steele has them at #126, but Nevada too takes a step back to #112. Believe Purdue WR Moore is the X-factor here. His talent is above anything Nev. has. He will be used as a decoy and weapon in Brohm's offense. Nev. replaces most it's secondary and I see Purdue putting up some big passing numbers.
Nev. has Malik Henry at QB. If he has "grown up" he could carry this team, but I'm not seeing it but still.... Hence, a 1 unit bet only on Purdue


Georgia-20.5 at Vandy; This one looks too easy. The bulldogs have soundly beaten Vandy last two years. And Vandy now loses QB Shumur.


Rutgers -14.5 vs UMASS; Rutgers is bottom of Big10 and for that matter rest of FBS. UMASS on the other hand doesn't belong at all. Anything less than a blowout has Ash out the door before mid-season.
Wake Forest -3.5 vs Utah St. The Aggies lose so much experience and Gary Andersen returns. Even with QB Love returning it just looks like a rebuilding year for Utah St. WF not loaded with exp. either and their D last year not good at all. Expecting changes on D to have positive results.


Mich -20 vs Army. The Cadets are all run and clock control. Solid defenses stop them, bad D's don't. (See Okla. , Houston 2018)
Mich. has solid D and should give the Wolverine O plenty of chances.


Mich St-3 at Northwestern; Both these teams seem to play better on the road. MSU coming off of Az St with Indy on deck. NW coming off of CMU with Wisky on deck, slight advantage NW. MSU defense wins this game.


Ohio State -7 vs Neb. Like this bet the most! So many think Buckeyes take a step back without Urban. I don't think so! Schedule again friendly for tOSU. Only last two, Penn St and then at Mich. look hard (and UM has Indy week before Buc's, AGAIN). If Fields stays healthy and doesn't get suspended (no reason now to think of) the Buckeyes should be 11-0 when traveling to Ann Arbor.

Good question that I knew was coming. Not intentional but my early nods usually lean to fav's it seems.
Really don't like making so many early bets but my personal life commitments this fall force me to do so. Not going to be a "normal" year for me until maybe Oct.

The 9/28 Ohio St -7 vs Neb is my favorite.

Week 1 dogs I'm looking at but may not get the chance to bet is Houston +26 vs Okla and La Tech +21 vs Texas.

Also I like Neb Under 8.5 wins but I taking a chance on Okla. Under 10.5.

I like Tech getting points against Texas. The Longhorns are definitely looking ahead to the LSU game the next week.
