Iowa has looked good against awful teams but I really am not looking forward to this North Dakota State game.

why? this game shouldn't be at all close

[CubInOK]

Here's a fun storyline: Donald Trump is holding a fundraiser somewhere close to the OU campus during the Ohio State @ Oklahoma game.

5 straight national championships and have won, like, five straight vs fbs teams. Iowa should win but it's not the normal fcs team. I fear it being annoying and stressful. They're easily the best team they've played so far

Still no line listed for that one despite others having them up. What's the issue?

[OleMissCub]

Bama is going to destroy Ole Miss. They are gonna cruise to the title.

[UMFan83]

So when Bama, FSU and OSU all lose road games to ranked opponents Michigan is #1 right?

 

Ok no way Bama loses but I could easily see the other 2 going down

[philosophizer75]

Being a bit of a homer here, but I think Nebraska is going to beat Oregon. They've looked pretty good in their first two, and it's time to see if they're gonna be a real contender in the Big ten west, or if they're just another team. Also, this oregon team isn't crazy good, just solid.

With Saban complaining about how the team plays every single week along the way

Ohio State can come into Norman and win. We can't stop the pass.

I know Louisville's QB has been ridiculous but I think FSU beats them. Too much talent everywhere else.

Agreed. FSU -2.5 feels like stealing, right? I just put down a sizeable wager on that before it went up and now I'm going to spend all week feeling like I missed something.

I feel the same way, I plan on jumping on them as one of my bigger bets of the week when I place my bets for the games this weekend.

Their best DB is out for a few weeks, but still, 2.5? I just don't see them losing that game. If they only win by 1 or 2, I'll just chalk that up as a bad beat.

Yeah I'd feel relatively okay laying up to about 5, they should win. Depending where the ML is when I bet it I may just do that, I see it at -130 a few places which I like but some are up to almost -180. So depends what my guy gives it to me at.

This thread about FSU -2.5 looks hilarious in hindsight.

[Derwood]

Lamar Jackson might be good, can't say with confidence yet

[bcl412]

Iowa getting dominated on the line vs North Dakota State who are now going for 2 for the lead with about 3 minutes left. This isn't fun.

[UMFan83]

Iowa loses to (very good) FBS team, Wisconsin was trailing in the 4th against Georgia state but won, Rutgers and Penn state both in close games late. Gooooo Big Ten?

[bcl412]

Football is dumb. Why schedule this team?

[UMFan83]

Also, umm so much for my top 3 teams lose and UM is #1. No way Louisville doesn't basically take FSUs spot or at the very least #3 behind Bama and OSU

Penn State will be lucky to go 7-5 again this year.
