Early betting action from BetMGM:

Ohio St. -2.5

How can you not like UGA without that SCRUB Carson Beck? Elevator doesn't go all the way to the top with that kid.

Because NDs defense is scary good and Georgia struggles with mobile qbs.

GL, brock.

I will say that it's surprising people have lost interest in 13-0 Oregon.
...They haven't played in a while. So, people forget.
...Key OhioSt injury = C McLaughlin. Didn't really show up last week. Might factor in this week.

Chuck, personally think Oregon is overrated. Every year they seem to stumble when it counts. Could they win it all? Yes, but I would have to see it. I will say I like their current head coach a lot better than previous ones.

That's why they play the games. I definitely see both sides of the coin.

I've watched a lot of Oregon. Great team speed.

Per usual, I consider some Under the Radar factors:
1) Off Lines. Oregon's was supposed to be great, they're good but maybe not great. OhioSt down two starters.
2) Kicker. If the game's close, I'd count on the Oregon kicker more. OhioSt kicker could be a Cause of Loss.

Penn State -10.5

Texas -14

Ohio State -2.5

Georgia -1.5

Only 1 of these I've played so far is Under in the GA-ND game.

OSU Overrated

WR Tyson is reportedly still out for Ariz St. It's a factor.
...I think the Texas coaches will have a bullseye on Skattebo.
...After Tyson, the ArizSt WRs don't have that many catches this season.

[SBR Andy]

I'm on Boise State +11.5 tonight. I think they put up a better fight than SMU and keep it within single digits.

suprised to see the total tick up

As I said….

As I said….

Navy, how do you rate the Not D Off Line?
...They put the top prospect into the pros. I thought they'd be down this year.
...Had injuries and still wound up playing well.
...I think the answer is that Not D talent is upgraded from where it was five years ago.

Not D has a pretty nice resume:
*Win @TxAM. Not easy to win in Coll Station.
*Win over Navy when Navy was undefeated.
*Dominating win over Army when Army was undefeated.
*Win @Southern Cal. USC lost a bunch of close games, better than their record indicated.
*Win over GEO by margin. GEO had been the standard in recent years.
