I'm inclined to say that +3.5 is better because the value of the extra point from 3.5 to 4.5 is so small (heaps different with +2.5 to +3.5 obv)

just cruising bodog and found a few that i think are pretty good for college. Apparently I'm underestimating home field advantage?

Auburn +23.5 @ LSU
GTech +3 @ Miami(FL)
Arkansas -16 @ Ole Miss
UNC +11 @ Clemson

College lines are a lot higher variance than NFL lines though imo, esp conference games.

Know nothing about UNC and Clemson except that UNC is usually terrible, so I feel like Clemson should cover that easily.

Unc/Clemson is admittedly the one I feel the worst about out of the 4.

pretty much agree with gus

I really like the Arkansas line and feel like the GT line is very solid

i'm hoping auburn is gonna come off a pretty big SEC win amped up and give LSU a decent run for their money. Ultimately they'll lose but not by 24+ imo

Perhaps not 100%, but I'm guessing more than 50% which is enough to make it ******ed.

That Auburn line looks too good to be true.

Thank God. Jerome Harrison has a tumor get found because the Lions tried to trade him and he obviously took the physical as anyone does. Sounds like they caught it early enough to not only save his life but even his football career.

So Boise had a rather close game against Air Force(I think), and Wisconsin playing Michigan St(ranked 16th I believe), so, if we crush them I bet we move back again and Boise will prob move up if anything?

yep

I hate msu cause they're such a tease. They always have some s*** lost and can never be taken seriously for a top 5 team contention. This year was ND and last year it was Iowa

So **** MSU
