First full slate of games for the new season and conference. I went 1-1 last week, https://bearinsider.com/forums/2/topics/121763
As usual, odds are for the home team, my wild guess picks in italics.
UC Davis @ Cal -20.5: Season opener, FCS opponent, no announcement on starting QB. Translation, Cal wins but under performs and doesn't beat the spread. Hope to be proven wrong.
TCU @ Furd +9.5: No idea how either team is going to perform this year, but taking Furd to beat the spread in this one.
North Carolina A&T @ Wake Forest -34.5: Just a feeling the Demon Deacons cover.
Western Carolina @ NC State -33.5: Too much firepower allows NC State to cover.
North Carolina @ Minnesota +1.5: Mack Brown will never be forgiven. Cal fans always root against him wherever he's coaching. Gophers beat the spread.
Elon @ Duke -22.5: Duke fans get at least one week before pining for the start of basketball. Duke covers.
Clemson @ Georgia -13: Bulldogs make Cujo look like a french poodle. Georgia covers.
Virginia Tech @ Vanderbilt +13.5: Southern hospitality means that Tech covers and thanks their hosts.
Austin Peay @ Louisville -34.5: Austin Peay says thanks for the payday while Louisville covers.
Kent State @ Pittsburgh -23.5: Pittsburgh shows enough to cover.
Miami @ Florida +3: This should be a pretty good game. Giving the Gators the edge at home so they beat the spread.
Ohio @ Syracuse -17.5: Syracuse gets off to a good start and beats the spread.
Richmond @ Virginia -19.5: Hard game to call, but taking the Cavaliers to barely cover.
Georgia State @ Georgia Tech -21.5: Tech keeps the momentum going and covers.
Boston College @ Florida State -17: Seminoles bounce back with a win but don't beat the spread.
Houston Christian @ SMU -43.5: Mustangs win convincingly, but this spread is way too high.
