I would take the Georgia at -13.5 all day over Clemson. Clemson becoming a paper tiger.

 

[MidTennMtneer]

I think that FIU/Indiana spead is too much. IU will win, but I think it will be more like 34-20.

Now UTEP/Nebraska. That might as well be a P4/FCS game. They are going to get absolutely throttled.

SEMO was a 7pt fav over UNA last week. They won 37-15. I could see them pushing the revamped NMSU to their limit, but not winning.
CUSA opens the season 5-5 with wins from MT, LU, Jax, LaT, NMSU.

I think ND beats A&M, Miami easily covers over UF, and Clemson/UGA is easy money. Bulldogs will win by 20+.

Forgot one. I have WVU upsetting Penn State

 

[MidTennMtneer]

Forgot one. I have WVU upsetting Penn State

Oh, that's a given. 🤣

Money is going there too. Line opened at +9.5 for WVU and is down +8.5 overall and even +7.5 on Draft Kings right now.

 

[BlueraiderSC]

La Tech might lose. They may be the bottom of the conference this year.

 

[SigmaNuBlue]

I like WVU +8

Hoping more public money gives me the hook with Florida and Clemson

Leaning A&M at home. Maybe public pushes that to -2.5

First games can be flukey. Don’t think UGA covers

 

[mtfblue]

First games can be flukey. Don’t think UGA covers

UGA loses, too many players lost to draft and portal.

 

[ewglenn]

I don’t think UGA covers. I would stay away from that one. UTSA will cover and make KSU look stupid in the process imo.

 

[FranklinRaider315]

My CBSSports Network has MT -22.5

I think the Blue Raiders can cover that easily but I don’t like the over at 52.5
TN Tech’s offense may not cross the 50-yard line against a CDM defense.

 

[BlueraiderSC]

-23.5 on fandual.

You going? Should be rowdy

 

[MidTennMtneer]

You going? Should be rowdy

If I could afford it. Best "deals" on SeatGeek start out at $251 each. The 10 in our gang can buy a heck of a lot of beer and steaks for that and watch on a 70" in an air conditioned room.

Again 11 AM game here is crazy. Should be under the lights

 

[SpaceRaider]

Coastal Carolina at Jax State (CBSSN) 7 p.m.

JSU is getting clowned, trails 17-3 after first qtr

24-3, CCU leads, still in 2nd qtr

 

[BRaiderDave]

Rich Rod's team completely embarrassing CUSA right now.

 

[SpaceRaider]

31-10 at half

 

[SpaceRaider]

Rich Rod's team completely embarrassing CUSA right now.

Yep, I'm not ready to put a W down for MT against them yet

 

[MTFAN61]

48-13 Coastal. Superior quarterback play

 

[MidTennMtneer]

Wow. I blew that prediction. Sheesh.

 

[MTFAN61]

Duke vs Elon tonight.
Duke -25
Elon is a decent preseason top 25 fcs school. With new coaching staff at Duke may go with Elon in this one tonight.

FAU vs Michigan St tonight
Spartans -13.5

 

[MT01]

UGA loses, too many players lost to draft and portal.

UGA has had the top 3 if not the best best recruiting class for three or four years straight. Clemson is sliding, because Dabo has been unwilling to adapt to the new landscape. UGA rolls - probably by 3 TDs

WVU didn't cancel classes. Some professors did eapecially in the Life Sciences building where Pat was setup, but the school didn't. The county school system did close though due to traffic as game is sold out.

I watched the whole show. He is a great ambassador for the program. Had Duece McBride on and Pat siad if he made a shot (about half court range) he'd pay the tuition of the kid that was there first at 330am. It happened.

Got his old teammates together too and combined to donate $1m to the CRT collective.

Very glad Wren Baker is there now as AD. Shane Lyons didn't like that kind of attention, didn't like GameDay being there, alumni, etc.

When you have an engaged coach, AD, and alumni, things happen. We are beginning to see that at MT and I hope we just continue to grow. I think CM had a renewed vigor as well with the energy CDM brings. I'm excited to hear reports later today of how the first Party in the Grove went.

 

[MTOleBlue]

Vandy currently rolling over VT, they're up 17-0 before halftime

Tied now.

UGA all over Clemson 27-3. At least one of my predictions is right.

 

[MTFAN61]

Georgia over Clemson in the 4th 34-3.
Easy money

 

[MT01]

Pavia has almost changed the dynamic of both NMSU and Vanderbilt football by himself.

 

[MT01]

Georgia over Clemson in the 4th 34-3.
Easy money

Yep.

 

[MT01]

I've now heard MT mentioned in four games I've watched so far about players who left MT and making impacts for their new teams. I hate the portal.

The portal giveth in the portal taketh away.

 

[BigBlueBrad]

Vandy 1-0.

 

[MidTennMtneer]

SHSU whipping Rice. Up 31-7 in the 3rd.

 

[MTLynn]

The ricky stuckstill effect took hold at FSU

#10 Florida State 21
Georgia Tech 24

 

[MTLynn]

Saban not impressed
