Early College Football Candidates

From the early betting and line movements (or lack thereof), there are 9 so far that look fishy enough to be potential plays this weekend:

Baylor +12
Ohio +10.5
Miami(OH) +11.5
Ole Miss -6.5
(I know, a favorite)
Auburn +2.5
New Mexico +10.5
Central Michigan +10.5
Rice +30
Boise State +10.5


Any help in narrowing down the list is always appreciated.

Any reason in particular you like Baylor? To me that game is one the most unplayable Friday night contests of all time.

Baylor is listed because the majority of wagerline picks are on UConn, but the line dropped from UConn -14 to -12. That sort of movement always gets my attention. Haven't made any decision on playing it or not, but hopefully will find the time to look at the teams tonight. I don't know much about these teams, but I'd love to hear your thoughts on why it's unplayable. Thanks.

Ohio is getting a ton of love. Playing tOSU close and then blowing a win with C.Michigan - they're due!

Ole Miss, Auburn and New Mexico look the best out of the group.

JP - I assume you're talking about the message boards. If so, thanks for the heads-up, I haven't had a chance to look at those yet. This list was just based on early wagerline numbers and line movement.

Sham - I like the way you're thinking. Auburn looking really good to me right now. I said last week I couldn't believe New Mexico was a 10-point dog to Arizona. That's a decent team. Ole Miss might be a rare favorite play us. Thanks for the comment.
