I don't know, OU gave up 22 points at home last year to a Cincinnati team who played in a BCS bowl game last season. But perception is everything and you could be right about BYU. And 21 is a key number in a lot of people's minds. 21.5 or 22 would scare a lot of people off. But 20 to 21 would get a fair amount play on both the OU side and those good mormons out there who like to gamble.
They say they don't gamble, just like the baptists say they don't drink. But when they had that Baptist Convention in Las Vegas a few years ago, the Hilton Hotel broke an alltime record that week for sales of alcohol...And I'm betting not one drop of it was used for communion. :drink:I was talking to a girl a couple of days ago who lived next door to a couple of Mormon "elders" (the kids that go door to door on bicycles). She said that they do not gamble, they do not drink alcohol or caffeine, but they do like pussy!
Agree Jake, NOT A Homer, But One Of My Fav. Games
6 is just great. Weber to Decker/Carpenter will put up a lot of 6's for my GG. Like Baylor & Troy a lot. Buffs giving less than 2 TD's, vs a rookie QB!! Love Cal also, 17 a tad hi, but will play @ that for a med. amt.! Also A&M looks like $$, NM has zip ret. on D, 2 of them are safeties. Aggies should win this going away. NM threw only 3 TD passes all yr LY! Hope these go up @ one of my books soon. Only 1 dog on my list so far, tho not unusual for the opening week. Well boys it's the start of mine & many of your fav. time of yr. Wish ALL you gentlemen the best of luck.<><>

I can tell you that these lines are close to what the openers will be. They are similar to "lead" lines in a way. I will be waiting for the officials openers, but I can tell you that games I am looking at include:
Middle Tennessee +21.5 at Clemson. For a number of reasons, the only one concerning Joe Pub being that Clemson goes to Ga. Tech 5 days later and will conserve as much fuel as they can.
Wisconsin -14 vs No. Illinois. This is the type of game that Wisky does very well in. No. Illinois has to replace it's defense. Wisky looks to build momentum.
Nebraska -20 vs Florida Atlanta. A very bad spot for the Owls, who never cover in these types of games. Nebraska will be out to make a statement. The Owls have to replace most of the defense.
Memphis +17 vs Mississippi. Memphis has done well at home against Ole Miss. The Rebs are 0-5 of late as non-con away favorites. If Memphis can get some mileage out of it's juco transfers, this may be closer than expected.
