Early Week lines for Saturday

Submitted by formerlyanonymous on
Flordia -24 over Arkansas for a 3:30pm game in the Swamp. I'm feeling like this seems way high. Any thoughts from the MGoGallery? TCU -20 over Colorado State @TCU. I'm thinking a bit high as well. CSU has had flashes of playing well to start the season but has trailed off since then. Still not sure I buy it. Kansas -10 @ Colorado. This seems like a fairly low spread. Colorado will be starting someone new this week as lil' Hawkins gets benched. Kansas's offense looked top notch against Texas A&M last weekend. Defense was porous, but TAMU also was top 5 total offense coming in. Thoughts on any of these? (Michigan doesn't have a line on most places since we're play a FCS team, in case you're wondering what ours)

in the Florida-Arkansas game. The Florida D looked pretty nasty agaisnt LSU. Don't know enough about TCU. Kansas can light it up, so I would take that bet before the other two.

I aint sold on arkansas D. I know people think the gators won't blow anyone out after Tennessee put up a fight, but Eric Berry aint wearing red 'n white on saturday. Florida will run wild on offense, and Mallet won't be ready to handle Floridas D. Florida wins 45-17, and Ryan Mallet throws 2 or more picks.

Colorado state took it to Nevada though they have a poor defense, TCU barely squeaked it out this week in the cold against Air Force. I guess the question is, what will the temperature be? Half their starters might have the flu by now

FLA -24 is way too many pts. TCU/CSU in a no-no...betting a Mountain West Conference game where a million pts/per game can be scored equals bettors' nightmare. KU is an away favorite, also a frequent sucker bet. I prefer WIS giving 2 1/2 at home vs. Iowa. Badgers played OSU closer than the score indicated. Iowa is due for a let-down, and Camp Randall is a tough venue for road teams. Also intrigued by ND getting 10 1/2 vs USC, but probably passing on this one unless spread closer to 14. USC's D has been real stingy, and "Jimmeh" won't have it so easy without Golden Tate.

interesting line considering CSU played both BYU and Utah very tough. I think both were single digit losses. Not sure if a ton of points will be scored in this game. TCU has a very good defense.

Kansas played Iowa State, not Texas A&M, last week. Kansas's last two wins have been closer than they should have been, and Colorado looked better than expected at times last week. I'd play it in this order: CSU +20 Arkansas +24 Kansas -10
