All plays for me posted here, beginning with Over/Under Win totals for teams and why:

Shop around for the best lines:

Under 2 1/2 UL-Monroe only 2 offensive starters form a 2-10 team with new HC

Over 2 1/2 Kennesaw St 3-6 team last year has 7/9 starters back on O/D

Over 2 1/2 Nevada 2-10 team has new HC and returns 6/6 starters on O/D

Over 2 1/2 Vandy 2-10 team with new coaches and transfers in have 6/7 starters returning added Jerry Kill as consultant to coach Lea's team

Over 3 1/2 Houston 4-8 team with new HC in Willie Fritz and tons of portal transfers with 6/6 returnees in Big12 which is weak

Under 3 1/2 Akron a 2-10 team with only 3/6 starters returning in a competitive MACtion conference

Over 3 1/2 Stanford a 3-9 team moving to the ACC? WOW, they do have 10/8 starters returning with schemes in place

Over 4 Georgia State new HC and returning 3/7 starters from a 7-6 team

Over 4 1/2 BYU established HC and a bunch of portals and returning Mormon mission players, 8/6 starters on O/D back, good QB & Receivers

Over 4 1/2 Purdue a 4-8 team has 7/6 returnees back on O/D, should eek out 1 additional win over last year's record

Over 4 1/2 EMU a 6-7 team with returnees 5/5 and talent we don't hear much of in the MACtion

Over 4 1/2 N Mexico State new HC with coach Kill leaving for UVA as a consultant, Tony Sanchez gets another opportunity to be a HC again & Aggies return 7/3 starters from a 10-5 team

Over 4 1/2 U Conn HC Mora returns 6/8 starters with transfers from a 3-9 team, they should get to 6 wins unless they turn over the ball more than last year

Over 4 1/2 Arizona State 9/6 returnees froma 3-9 team move conferences to Big12, should get at least 5 wins, possibly 6.

Over 4 1/2 UCLA HC DeShaun Foster teams with a solid coaching staff, transfer portal players and return 7/5 starters in a conference change to the Big10 can get 5 wins

Over 4 1/2 Boston College Head HC in O'B they had 7 wins last year, Castellanos is a clevel run/option QB and play in a wide open ACC conference were 7-6 last year

Over 4 1/2 Florida HC under the gun here in Napier, they had 5 wins last year, better QB play this year w/less turnovers the key in the most competitive SEC league 7/6 returnees with good recruits too

Under 7 1/2 Oregon St, new HC, lost a ton of starters in a clusterfuck conference where they finished 8-5 last year, lucky to get 6 wins

Under 5 1/2 Utah St, turmoil going on here and transfers galore out and a few in from a 6-7 team last year, they fall short here with only 5 wins max

Over 8 1/2 L'ville, Brohm has a lot of returning players from a 10-4 team with portal guys, system is in place from a team that was better than expect in '23/'24, look out

Over 9 1/2 Ohio St, they have portal guys coming in and have Michigan with a new HC who was a coordinator and fill in for Hard-Hat last year, Day has to live up to expectations this year or he could get the boot out of Columbus with starters back and good transfers he hand picked 11 wins

Over 8 1/2 N C State, established program & HC here in Doernen, Coastal transfer McCall is a winner and has deeper talent to work with for a team that finished 9-4 last year, can get 10 wins this year or win the conference, 8/5 returners on O/D with weaker schedule, they haveTennessee in week 2 and Clemson in week 4, they can get wins vs both teams

Over 8 1/2 Iowa, QB if healthy can lead Hawkeyes to at least 9 wins, they finished 10-4 last year, should get 10 wins again, "D" is their best asset

Over 6 1/2 West Va, Neal Brown got an extension and many are picking the Mountaineers to win the Big12 this year, they were 9-4 last year and better on paper and 8 returners on Offense

Over 9 1/2 Penn St, Nittany Lions with established coach, several key returnees and they had some 1st round NFL picks from last year's 10-3 squad, time for QB to play with some balls this go around with revenge on team losses from last year entrenched in their minds

Over 6 1/2 Wisky, Badgers had 7 wins last year, have one of the best adaptive HC in Fickell from a team that has talent back and a few portal guys, they should get 8 wins before a bowl game, by the way bowl wins don't count towards total wins from a majority of books

Over 7 1/2 Miami-OH, a team that went 11-2 last year and on paper better this year in the MACtion, something smells fishy and Chuck Martin returns 12 starters with two tough opponents week 1 & 2 vs N'western & Cincy then it's MACtion action.

Huge IF for the Iowa QB McNamera to stay healthy all season and word is he’s not 100% in camp. New offensive coordinator promises to “open up” the playbook, but as long as Ferentz is head coach not much will change on that side of the ball.

Hawks just signed a rare 4 star in Iose Epenesa, the brother of All American AJ.
A lot of people are high on the Northwestern QB transfer.

GO HAWKS

Yep. Nice that another Epensea will play for the Hawkeyes. They are some tough kids that love the game of football. AJ even flew in from Buffalo for the signing.
Kid from NW lost his job so I’m not sure how good he is. As long as whomever is behind center has quicker feet than the linebacker trying to play QB last year—Deacon Hill was legitimately in the running for the worst QB in D-1 football last season— it’s an upgrade over last year.

My biggest concern is that the defense isn’t as strong as it was last year. I know there are many coming back, so hopefully the leadership and chemistry is still there or it will be a LONG season in Iowa city.
First game a week from Saturday. I’ll wave; look for me on TV. 👍 GO HAWKS!

Week 1 8/29 to 9/2

UNC pk - Minny new QB same goes for athletic UNC Heels, this line has bounced back and forth

Jax St -3 - CC beat Jax last year, so revenge situation at home for HC Rodriguez

Stan +7 1/2 - can't back Horny Toads as a road fav anytime

Colorado -9 1/2 - N Dakota St is no slouch, Prime wants to make each game a statement, one by one, Shedeur should have a day connecting with WRs

Clem +13 1/2 or more - 3 peat? New QB for Dawgs, Clem as a DD dog doesn't happen many and at a neutral site

Over 53 1/2 PSU/WV - both teams with good offensive weapons

FIU +21 1/2 - No backing a poor Indiana coached team

Kennesaw +24 1/2 - welcome to D1

Ohio +17 1/2 - always taking a MAC team as a big dog on the road vs Power 5's, especially against Syracuse

Over 58 1/2 CSU/Texas - CSU will come out blazing as will Horns

CSU +35 1/2 play to +31 1/2 - CSU plays tough and has some chips on their shoulders

UTEP +27 1/2 or more - Bugeaters will win, by how much? They haven't ran up the score on anyone in eons

Miami OH +4 1/2 or more

Ga Southern +11 1/2 or more

ODU +20 1/2 or more

Hou -2 1/2 (5 units) - Fritz gets an opening statement win after building programs along the way, he'll do it again in Houston

Fresno +20 1/2 or more - interim head coach has talent to work with vs a national champ that lost some vets and assistant coaches

So Miss +25 1/2 or more - Kentucky with new folks, likely will use lots of players

Arizona -29 1/2 - new head coach as Frisch left

Over 45 1/2 Wyoming/ASU (5 units) - New HC at Wyoming has some talent back, ASU with 3rd year HC hasn't done shit and his team plays Miss State next week!! Desert warmth deciding factor!!

Finally hit a 5 unit play with total in ASU game. Time to regroup and do some research for week 2.

nothing for tonight however count up the number of dogs since 8/24 thru yesterday which covered and or won outright. May be an early trend.
