I honestly think it will open right at 21, but will move to 24 very quickly
Would be unheard of. The line's at 33 for the game, 1st half line will be 20 or 20.5 at the most. And I will jump all over it as soon as it's out.

I think 21 is about right for a 33 point spread. But like I said it will move to 24 minutes after opening. Guess we shall see
Ok nvm. I thought we were talking first half TT here, not spread.
Yeas for that 21 sounds about right, but yeah it will likely be hooked to 21.5

Ohio State (money line) 1/6
USC -22 9/10
UCLA (money line) 1/16
Auburn (money line) 1/14
Im using a free bet so I dont get my stake back, so added the 3 money lines to help boost the return
If it wins, its all going on Baylor -33

If you want Baylor play them 1st half... that line screams backdoor cover by SMU
Plus Baylor has a really inexperienced secondary and SMU has some quality receivers. If the Mustangs can get a QB to throw it to them they should be able to put up some points, especially if its in the 2nd half of a blowout playing against Baylor's 2nd and 3rd teamers.

The Boise/Ole Miss game feels just like the Mich St/Boise opener a couple years ago.
Ole Miss talent > Boise but they might play scrappy and stay close. I want to take the Ole Miss ML, but -390 is just too steep with a decent chance of sweating out the win.
I'm not as confident in LSU as I was before. If Stave were starting I have no doubts LSU would roll, but Wisco did the smart thing and are going with the more mobile guy. I'm worried about the LSU passing game as well. Maybe I am just forever scarred from Jordan Jefferson.

I just cant see LSU not winning. I think our team speed will be too much. They will run it well for sure. But cant play 1 demensional against LSU
Posted on 8/27/14 at 4:52 pm to Zipfer2022
I think OM wins ugly.
Posted on 8/27/14 at 5:10 pm to wish i was tebow
I agree Tebow. It's all we've heard for the past 3 years about how our opener will be close. Wisky is going to be very 1 dimensional and Chavis knows that and will stuff the run. I am not worried about our D at all. Now as for the O of course theirs a little uncertainty only with the QB situation. Wisky is very thin on D and is starting almost all new faces. We should be able to run the ball at will. If this was pre Cam I would be very worried. But their is no doubt in my mind he will have a great gameplay to fit our QBs. In Cam I trust 
Posted on 8/27/14 at 5:17 pm to bamafan425
Yeah Boise without Peterson could be very different.
And I just think give our coaches this much time to prepare for 1 deminsional they should be ready. Just like Oregon game a few years back

Its going to be like the Outback Bowl all over again with a much better prepared QB (a full spring and summer with Cam Cameron) and a much more motivated Tigers team. Wisconsin does not have the athletes out wide to stretch the Defense, they may have some success running the ball at times, but you can't beat LSU just running the ball.
Posted on 8/27/14 at 5:27 pm to dgtiger3
And also not a wet field to somewhat negate the speed advantage

dude..
i know i haven't been watching espn or anything, so i don't know how much of close battle they are pumping it up to be... but...
come on, man
i think it will be a LSU/TCU type of game with young LSU talent emerging and showing up big and because my little sister just graduated wisky vet school and is poison to every team she roots for
LSU-31
Wisky-24
fwiw, wisky fans deep down inside admitted that as long as LSU doesn't embarrass them they will be ok..
they are just so use to the mediocrity :lol:Posted on 8/27/14 at 6:12 pm to Zipfer2022
Boise's got a lot of nice defensive talent coming back. I wouldn't be shocked if they kept it really tight.
