Re: Early Odds for Week 1 Games of Note

I think Louisville might play Auburn a lot closer than "the experts" think.
Texas beats Notre Dame

It is just plain weird seeing Michigan as an underdog to Utah

Thanks, Mack. Good to see another season roll back around again. Those lines look reasonable at this point.

WMack4Bama · Aug 30, 2015

I think TAMU destroys Ariz St. They win by way more than 3. I also think overall that TAMU will be (with Sumlin's offense and Chavis's defense) what everyone thinks Auburn will be (with Guschamp)

BamaHoosier · Aug 30, 2015

If I were a betting man, I'd take the under on Louisville. I think they play Auburn a lot tougher than most. I wish there was a way that they could both lose.

I'd also take the over on Notre Dame. Texas' offense is still a dumpster fire, and if Zaire is even a halfway competent quarterback, they'll put up enough points to wreck the horns. I'm expecting a similar result to what Arky did to Bevo last bowl season.

Agree on your UT-ND thoughts. I really like Swoopes's running ability. But Zaire's arm talent is very impressive

I think Louisville will put up a lot of points on Auburn, but still lose.

Let me research Louisville and see what they have. Because if they have the weapons to make true what you say then I will definitely watch tthat game.

They have a QB competition between two guys with varying styles. Bobby P won't name a starter just to make Auburn prepare for both. That can't hurt Louisville's chances.

Seems to be a common theme this preseason. Smart for a game

Arizona State is going to have a very good team. Herbie picked them to make the CFP.

Not a knock on ASU. I just think that highly of TAMU

ALA2262 · Aug 30, 2015

Vandy is a 17.5 pt favorite over Western Kentucky - WKU wins straight up
Baylor is favored by 20 over SMU - Baylor covers the 20
The Jim McElwain era will begin in Gainesville with the Gators as 38 pt favorites over New Mexico St.

Auburn is favored by 10.5 over Louisville - barn covers easily
Texas A&M is a 3 pt favorite over Arizona St. - ASU wins straight up

I am with you. I think A&M will be a force to be reckoned with this year.

Only one P5 team (Kansas with 8) returns fewer starters than does Louisville with 9. Single digit returning starters would not bode well for Bama. Sure doesn't for Louisville.The barn covers easily.

gamersfuel · Aug 30, 2015

^^^ true but they have some solid transfers who will be playing this season.

CajunCrimson · Aug 30, 2015

The Cajuns will cover vs UK -- and if the ball bounces right, they could upset the Wildcats.....

The have a Running Back that has SEC potential. Elijah McGuire......

Bazza · Aug 30, 2015

Thanks as always, Mack...great job!

I think that TAM/ASU game will be a good one.

I don't see L'ville competing with the barn.

Looking forward to seeing how KY, UGA, and UT does....as well as UF and UA of course!

I think a&m will be better than what most people think. They will win a huge game that many don't see right now. They won't win the west but they are going to cost someone from winning it though.
