By Doug Upstone
With both college football and the NFL starting up this article will now Tuesday thru Friday and have a NFL weekend edition. Today we will have our first look at the early line college football moves and have an updated version on Friday. The NFL will go tomorrow and as mentioned, I will have a weekend piece will updates. Using line moves can be an important wagering tool to profit from and should be read accordingly.
CFB – (323) WEST VIRGINIA at (324) OKLAHOMA 7:00 ET FOX
West Virginia scored a late touchdown to defeat William & Mary 24-17 as 32-point favorites and Oklahoma shutout the 32nd best total offense from a year ago in UL-Monroe, who had the vast majority of their starters back on offense. The Sooners were hit hard moving from 17.5 to 20 points and we don’t believe this number is finished going up.
CFB – (329) UTAH STATE at (330) AIR FORCE 3:30 ET CBSSN
If you saw Utah State against Utah, you were able to see what a marvelous talent of Chuckie Keeton is as a multi-purpose quarterback. This likely had an influence in the Aggies being raised from -7.5 to -9.5 and there is little doubt Utah State has better athletes. Yet, Air Force is normally competitive and is 5-1 ATS as a home underdog with coach Troy Calhoun.
CFB – (333) OREGON at (334) VIRGINIA 3:30 ET ESPN2
In a space of eight days, Virginia will face two teams which are polar opposites. BYU is physical, but lacks real foot speed at most positions. Up next is Oregon, who is super quick and F A S T! Little wonder the Ducks went from -22 to -24 at the university conceived by Thomas Jefferson. Think Road Runner vs. Wile E. Coyote.
CFB – (343) TEXAS at (344) BYU 7:00 ET ESPN2
Texas awoke from their slumber and laid 56 straight points on New Mexico State and gave at least some substance they should a Big 12 contender. With the Longhorns blowout victory and BYU unable to win as a field goal favorite at Virginia, the Cougars have gone from +4.5 to +7 in Provo. The Horns look like the play, yet BYU has covered seven in a row as a dog.
CFB – (361) WESTERN KENTUCKY at (362) TENNESSEE 12:21 ET ESPN3
Western Kentucky threw Bobby Petrino a life-line and he grabbed it to reconstruct his coaching career. His first game proved he still have the Midas touch in upsetting Kentucky 35-26. The next assignment is in Knoxville and the Hilltoppers are a burgeoning dog, up to +14 from +12.5. WKU is 8-0 ATS as road pooch, nevertheless, a rugged task.
CFB – (363) LOUISIANA at (364) KANSAS STATE 6:30 ET FS1
It was presumed Kansas State would not match last year’s successful campaign, but losing outright to North Dakota State (No.1 in FCS) was still a stunner. Coach Bill Synder might be older than Manhattan, KS, yet he can still fire up the Wildcats troops off loss and has been moved up from -7.5 to -10, in spite of the Ragin’ Cajuns being 10-2 ATS as underdogs.
CFB – (375) WASHINGTON ST. at (376) USC 10:30 ET FS1
For those East of the Mississippi River who stayed up late last Thursday watching their wager on USC and Hawaii, you noticed the Trojans have quarterback problems. With Washington State covering against Auburn, skittish point spread players lowered USC from -17 to -15.5. The Men of Troy are 3-11 ATS since last season, yet have crushed the Cougars by over 32 PPG in last eight meetings.
