Well i know which ones you took already…
making me take worse numbers on a few….hahaha
I was logged in and clicking as we spoke.
I think the Penn State/Syracuse total at 51 could be too high for a first week game. Both schools will not have powerhouse defenses, but they will be decent. The defenses are more likely to be dominant in the first week play since both schools will have new starting QBs and both teams are still learning new offenses. I don’t look for either of these offenses to get going until the third game of the season.
It may sound too easy, but I’d take the UNDER 48 in the Alabama/V Tech game. V Tech’s offense may be a little better this season based upon experience alone, but I don’t know that it will show at all against Alabama. On the other side, V Tech’s defensive front may hold against Alabama’s inexperienced line if they don’t wear out too soon in the game. This is mostly going to be a running game as I don’t see either team doing a great deal of passing. A game of too very good defenses and a line at almost 50 is too much for me to pass up. I hope I get the same line from my sportsbook whenever the time comes.
I’m in agreement with this one. They’re saying this could be one of DC Bud Foster’s better D’s. Bama offense will be good again but probably won’t be hitting on all cylinders like at the end of last season w/ the new players along the OL.
Anything 48 or over looks good.
Pez, 5DIMES and Bookmaker don’t have TOTALS on games out yet, but I noticed where you had the North Carolina State/La Tech TOTAL at 66 here. I have been reading where Holtz is making some very drastic changes from the style that Dykes was running. Holtz felt like the fast-paced offense under Dykes hurt the defense. So, he is deliberately slowing down the offense and playing more “clock management” style offense emphasizing the running game to give the defense more of a breather. He is also stressing a stronger defensive performance and says the offensive schemes can help with that fact. You can read article at: https://collegefootball.ap.org/article/la-tech-transformed-under-incoming-holtz-regime
Now, my thinking is that with stronger stress and more work on defense, and a deliberately slower paced style of play emphasizing the run game, 66 is probably too high of a TOTAL here. North Carolina State’s defensive front is suppose to be their best in years and may make Holtz’s running scheme a little harder to implement. If La Tech can get some stops at all, and I think they can with North Carolina State’s less than stellar offense, this TOTAL could soar significantly UNDER.
Good article BS. The number dropped very quickly from 66 to 63 (and I know the person who made it move …. not that it took much $ to move it. HA!).
But even 63 looks high (65 & 66 are strong numbers …. 62 is the next key number).
Trent & I had discussed that the total was probably based on perception of “last year’s” La Tech offense, which even had Dykes stayed wasn’t going to be as prolific this year.
Plus you have two new QBs and a pretty solid NCST D. Now after reading that article, maybe Skip can get something out of that D because it doesn’t look like the offense will be much help this season.
