As I was looking over the spreads that have been released for the first week of this years college football season I just remembered that the first week might be one of if not the hardest weeks to make your selections. With that said if you want to win some $$ on 6 picks follow my lead.
Cincinnati +2.5 @ Fresno St: Even though Kelly is gone Cincy still has a pretty good team and I don't see them going into Fresno and loosing.
LSU -3 @UNC: I'm with Al on this one and I'm not jumping on this UNC football bandwagon.
Texas -28.5 @ Rice: Its Texas playing Rice.
TCU-13.5 vs Oregon St: If this one was in Corvallis I would hesitate to pick it but with half of Oregon State's players in jail or on probation restricting them from leaving the state I'll take the Horned Frogs.
Kentucky -3.5 vs Louisville: I don't think Louisville is quite there yet on this one.
WVU game still has no line as of now so I will wait and see before making my pick.
I like the picks but I respectfully disagree that the opening week lines are the hardest. In fact, I think they are the easiest. The lines aren't sharp early, and lines that look "too good to be true" like uk and in my opinion vt this week, really are that easy in the early season. However, if I saw lines that looked that easy in say week 8 of the season, I would blindly fade them, knowing full well that Vegas is sharp by that time in the year. As an example, the one losing season I had in the last four (last fall) I still killed it in the first 3 weeks. I will have a piece on some interesting opening week trands tomorrow.
