I also changed my mind, and will pick today:
(Source: 3 August N&O sports page)
Arizona (-7) at UTSA
This simply has to be some kind of sucker bet, as I don’t see how Rich Rodriguez fails to cover a touchdown spread against a team I have never heard of.
Iowa State (+12.5) vs. Kansas State
A guiding Week 2 principle is fading lines that look like overreactions to Week 1. Yes, the Cyclones got murdered by North Dakota State. But the Bison are awfully damned good. Kansas State has no business being double digit road favorites against any semi-sentient foe.
Temple (+3) vs. Navy
An overreaction to Navy hanging with THE Ohio State University for three quarters. Pssstt…maybe the Buckeyes really just aren’t very (or any) good. My Owls came through last week, and this line should give them a chip on their shoulder.
Notre Dame (-5) vs. Michigan
Michigan sucks. Notre Dame sucks much less.
NC State (-16) vs. Old Dominion
I don’t like picking this game, but rules is rules. A late score for a 27-10 win would suffice, and I could see that happening. Can’t bet on ODU keeping things close for 60 minutes. But would I be shocked if the Pack lost outright? No.
