Early College Football Plays

Just in case there are folks who can't get to a computer in the morning, I thought I would post 3 plays that we're already on. Lines from Matchbook:

Tulane +30 -103, 2.06 units to win 2 units

After the prime-time TV spanking of Clemson last Saturday, there just has to be value built into this line. There just has to be. Alabama isn't all of a sudden a national championship contender because Clemson laid an egg in a big game (again).

Cincinnati +21.5 -104, 2.08 units to win 2 units

If Grutza can give Cincy 75-80% of what Mauk did last season, this one looks really good. Both blew out patsy opponents last week, but at least Cincy did it against a reigning conference champion (Oklahoma played Chattanooga, who were 2-9 last year in their division).

Houston +15.5 -105, 2.1 units to win 2 units

I like this one so much, it's almost definitely a loser. A really solid, well-balanced Houston team against a defense-less Oklahoma State. Doesn't hurt my affection for this play that 75% of the wagerline bets are on Okie State, yet the line has dropped a full point in the past couple of days.

There will almost definitely be some additions tomorrow (1-unit plays, probably), but these are the favorites so far. Still working on baseball for tonight, and hoping to get NFL up today before the end of the work day. Back later.
