Just realized that Oregon State went 1-11 last year (0-9 in the PAC12) with their only win a 3-point squeaker v. Portland State. 

They are going to get killed by Ohio State, even without Coach Urban.

Betting line is 38 points.

Post by: Catch Prothro on August 22, 2018, 03:27:02 PM
Closest betting lines (single digits):

Northwestern v Purdue.  3 points
MTSU v Vandy.  4 points
Colorado v Colo State.  7 points
Washington v Barn.  2 points
Ole Miss v Texas Tech  2 points
North Carolina v Cal  7 points
Michigan v ND.  1 point
Miami v LSU.  3 points
Virginia Tech v FSU.  7 points

Largest betting lines:

Western KY v Wisconsin.  35 points
Oregon State v Ohio State.  38 points

The remaining games on the list are in the 10-17 point range.

It will be hard to pick them all I think. Big betting lines are to good unless you know for sure the other team will blow them out. RTR!

I think, if coaching, Urban Meyer would run up the score.  Oregon St lost 6 games last year by at least 28 points, including a 59 point loss to Oregon and a 34 point loss to Minnesota(!)

I am closing voting in 24 hours, at 8:35 a.m. on Sunday morning.  

That is because we have games starting on Thursday night.  Also, the lines are already available because it will be the first game of the season for most teams (except Colorado State on our poll).  Colorado v Colorado State does seem to be the preferred game on Friday, if we end up picking a Friday game.  Line is currently set at 7 points and unlikely to change.  

It appears we have enough votes to have pickem games on Thursday, (maybe Friday), Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

At this time, here are the last two in and first two out games.

#8 Oregon State at Ohio State with 5 votes (38 point line)
#9 Middle Tennessee at Vanderbilt with 4 votes (4 point line)
#10  Three-Way tie for 10th place with 3 votes each:
Colorado vs. Colorado State 8:30 pm CBSSN Friday (7 point line)
Central Michigan at Kentucky 2:30 pm ESPNU (17 point line)
North Carolina at California 3:00 pm FOX (7 point line)

Thanks,  and WOOT!


Been a long time coming -- three years -- since I kept my Virginia Tech pick so that one of us would be guaranteed 10-0.  But I knew deep down, after I heard the Ohio State players talking revenge, that they would be the right pick.

It is only fitting, and karma, that Virginia Tech was the last game again this time, and they came through for me.

(By the way, I actually picked the first four games of the last 10-0, Thursday, Friday and Saturday morning games, because I was trying to get Bamarae interested, and she didn't have the time to pick those games.)
