*Vegas Insider was down, so I had to use Bovada.

 

UT-Florida might be for 4th place in the SEC East, and even that might not be giving Vandy enough credit.

If ESPN3 can set up a feed of Ole Miss fans touring Berkley and attempting to tailgate, I'd watch the hell out of that.

 

Oregon @ Wyoming will be wildly entertaining. Watched part of Nebraska @ Oregon Saturday. It seems like they just keep getting faster and faster.
Ole Miss @ Cal late Saturday night will be for the gambling degenerates trying to salvage a rough day.

That being said.....
I'll take the zoomies to cover in AA.
UT beats Florida outright. Gators offense is offensive.
Georgia Tech line seems really low.
Bet everything you own on Okie Lite. That's a 24-27 point line.

 

Pistol Pete's Assless Chaps by 17.

 

Oh.......bet more of everything you own on Texas Tech. Laying 7 at home to Arizona State, who lost by 10 to San Diego State.

 

I'm not in love with ASU or anything, but San Diego State is pretty good. Losing to them isn't a sign that a team is basket case.

ASU beat Tech 68-55 in Tempe last year. I'd expect a roughly similar style of game this time, Tech with the edge because of the home site but not a gimme by any means.

 

Minnesota will try to avenge its basketball brothers by welcoming Middle Tennessee to town. Strangely enough, the Blue Raiders may have something for them in football too.

 

Indiana (-25) vs Florida International
Duke (-14) vs Baylor
Troy (-7) at New Mexico St.

 

That Duke game is easy money.
Baylor is a trash fire.

 

Georgia Tech-UCF canceled due to Irma.

 

Mentioned it on the Irma thread, but Georgia Tech-UCF is off. National Guard is using UCF campus as a staging ground.

EDIT: Steak Snabler just beat me to it.

 

There may be several teams in the selection committee's final top 25 with only 11 "data points."
