I posted my plays in the wagering thread if you have the ability to play college player props.

I just checked, but could not find any. They have all sorts of goofy bets on each quarter, i am surprised they do not have player props. I was going to take the same unders you were taking on the Illinois players too.

It varies by state. Depending on where you are, college player props could be illegal.

I typically don't bet sides/totals, but I took Northewestern +13.5 earlier this week. I don't think you can find that number now, but I still like anything over 10. I realize this is the all new and improved Nebraska Cornhuskers, but I will need to see it before I believe it.

Thanks, I grabbed them +12.5.

[bostonlager 2,465]

Hawaii opened around +6.5 and I liked that number. It's now up to 9.5 which suggests I'm on the wrong side of the number but I don't care. Former UH QB Timmy Chang is now the head coach and he knows how to get into a shootout. 6 hour timezone difference will also impact Vanderbilt as will. Outside of Mike Wright, Vanderbilt is garbage. 

Hawaii +9.5 and may add more if it keeps moving up.

Season Long

 

James Connor under 8.5 rushing TD's - 20 dollars

 

 

are you anticipating injury? i mean that's very possible with Conner but assuming health, no way he doesn't put in 10+ rushing scores. He won't find the end zone as often as last season but still....

He is very injury prone and of course if he goes down that could cause the bet to hit, if Kyler Murray gets hurt early in the season that could cause it to hit and also basic TD regression could cause it as well.

I think one of those 3 things could be likely.

basic TD regression would need to be huge for it to hit, which at least to me seems unlikely for a 3 down back they signed to an extension. 18 total last year and 15 rushing. If he is healthy the whole year, I don't anticipate 7 rushing and 10 total TD regression. 

If Murray gets hurt, he may be relied on more. If the offense can't move, that helps this wager. If the offense can still get into the rezone, I'd expect more touches for Conner.

Conner going down is what I think making this bet really hinges on.... which like I said is very possible

I took my homer pick of the year.  Love UConn at +24 vs Utah St.

In a glorious turn of events, geno Smith beats Russell Wilson.

I am sure the  @jerryskids will be around soon to complain you dare make a thread of a same topic. This is his circus. How dare you!

Not for nothing but Geno Smith could wind up being a good story.  I give him credit for hanging in there all these years.

Speaking of week 1 Lord willing I'll be at the Chiefs/Cardinals game.

Plane and game tiks are already purchased but I got hit with gallstones Friday and have surgery tomorrow.

Staying with friends in the area of Wickenburg.

Fun!  Wickenburg is a neat little town, and not far from Phoenix metro.  The stadium is on that side of town as well.

my first instinct is to say with josh mcdaniels gone and possibly belichick calling the plays, bet the under on all patriots offensive skill position players.
