Thursday Night College Football Kickoff

The best time of the year

npoc: 0-0 0 units
Last season: 54-38-3 +21 units

All my picks will be graded on a unit basis, from 1-5 with the occasional 6-10 star but those are extremely rare

Tonight's Plays and thoughts

7 games to start the college football season, TULSA/UL Monroe kicks us off at ESPN2, if you have to ask what the significance of a TULSA/UL Monroe game you are clearly not a bettor.
We get an ESPN game at 8 with LSU at Miss St. and it all wraps up with UTAH at Oregon State in the "im drunk and on tilt after losing my 8:00 games so im gonna get a boatload" game of the week.

Major Line Moves
LSU has shot up to -20 in some places from an opening line of -16.5, by kickoff we should be looking at 18.5
Iowa State has fallen down to -3 from the previous -4 and UNLV continues a free fall to -6.5 all the way from -8 at the open. Tulsa has plummeted from 6 point favorites to just 3 and Oregon State has only moved up half a point but its to fall on the dreaded -7.

No coincidence but I picked against the public in all four of those games
I wonder whose gonna be right
