Title: Early Lines
Post by: wesfau2 on August 18, 2023, 03:57:25 PM
Might as well see if we can donate to the greater Las Vegas improvement fund.

ND (-20.5)/Navy (playing this one in Dublin)
USC (-30)/SJSU
Utah (-7)/UF

That Utah line is one to watch as the Utes' players are dropping like flies, apparently.  Even so, I think the UF squad is going to struggle in SLC.  I'll lay the points.

No reason to think Riley struggles in LA against San Jose and he'll want to start the Williams Heisman campaign strong.  Look for the Trojans to run the score up if they can.

Notre Dame is maybe pretty good this year?  I don't know.  Early in the season, on the other side of the pond, against a triple-option offense that you likely won't see again all year...I think a 3TD victory is asking a bit much.  Gimme the points and the seamen.

I'd lay the points over in Ireland.  Yes, ND is expected to be purty good this year, but Navy is probably going to be purty bad.  While they will still run some option, they're switching up the offense.  They fired Ken Nuatololtologolofuala, and promoted the DC to HC after they had a BLT on the QT at TGIF.

Navy was 4-8 last season, averaging 22 points and 326 total yards a game.  86 of that was through the air, and they are going to try and be a bit more pass happy this year. 

Having said that, Navy always seems to be outmanned, outskrengthed, outquicked and outkicked.  But, they always hang around.

Week Uno doesn't give us much in the way of quality matchups.

I'm on record with Utah (-7) (UU)
PedoU (-20.5)/WVU (PSU)
USCe (+2.5)/UNC (Charlotte)
FSU (+2.5)/LSU (Orlando)
Clemson (-13)/Duke (Duke) 

Maybe interesting plays:
Coastal Carolina (+14.5)/UCLA (UCLA)
Minn (-7)/Neb (Minn)
GaTech (+8)/Louisville (MB Dome- ATL)
Colorado (+20.5)/TCU (TCU)
Tulane (-6.5)/USA (TU)

As always, the smart money fades me.

I thought Florida would have found a way. They looked like a Harden led Auburn team playing Penn State.

Napier might not make it through the season.

He may be a worse on field coach. He just recruits a shit ton better - in part because he’s a good ole boy from that network. He’s just Jeremy Pruitt lite - a dumb redneck in over his head. Here’s hoping we capitalize with recruits when/if Billy bob and dimbo jimbo both fail spectacularly.

Quote
“Kevin Steele is the defensive coordinator,” Saban said. “He has all the defensive coordinator responsibilities. The only thing that we tried to improve on from an administrative standpoint was gameday administration of getting the signals in quicker. So that’s the only thing that we worked on together as a staff. The whole staff made a contribution to it and I think it was a lot better in this game than it was in the Texas game.”

I have been overly critical of Thorne the first 3 games, which is disingenuous on my part when considering all the factors, but one thing I have sang his praises on is that I see him actively working through progressions with sound mechanics when he has time in the pocket to do so.  I saw him looking for his 3rd option on more than 1 occasion in the first 1/4 of the season.

I'm still trying to understand the throws from the three yard line before halftime which resulted in a field goal.
Know that was a coaching decision but it was rather dumb on their part. And it's something TAMU saw which takes that element of surprise off the table.

Definitely were just trying to be cute and get chemistry down with receivers.  I didn't feel like it was going to sway the end result, so I was okay with it.

I'll take Wash -18 1/2

Well it's obvious I should quit gambling.  Watching the hogs play LSU last week, I thought we were pretty decent and just lost to a good LSU team that was rounding into form after an early loss to a really good FSU team.  I was wrong.  Dreadfully wrong.  Wash also put in a lackluster effort, which didn't help m efforts.  I think from now on, if a can scrape up enough bitcoin to fund my gambling account again, I am only betting home dogs.

I don't do the bets but that Marshall/NCSt line looks tempting. The Wolfpack are starting a backup and haven't looked good all year.

Generally like the hogs, other than a few times, but don't you guys go turning into those Ole Miss asshats if you beat them.

I'm running 20 miles Saturday morning starting around 6-6:30 a.m. After that, the local brewery has a once-a-year lottery to get in their mug club (you get a 16 oz pour for the price of 8 or 12 all year and a hand-crafted ceramic stein to go with). I'll probably lose out, but could be a fun afternoon. From there, thought about hitting up Bed Bath and Beyond, but I don't know if there's time.

I couldn't imagine trying to run that distance in one go.  What is wrong with you & GH?

1/4 mile at a time for me in my daily circuit (max speed), for 4-6 rounds.

Training for my second full marathon. Have to hit that a couple times before the actual thing. As of this writing, it's 31 days until that day. I won't get anywhere near a PR or even what I did in March 2022, but I am going to finish this thing, one way or another. After that, I may not run again until April.
