Per vegasinsider.com, and Beyond the bets, here is a quick look at point spreads for the first two weeks (obviously these are changing by the day). Week 1 UConn -26 v. UMass Temple -16.5 v Nova USF -30 v. Chattanooga SU + 3 v. Northwestern RU - 24 @ Tulane Pitt - 28 v. Youngstown UL -10 v. Kentucky Week 2 Cinci -4 v. Pitt UConn +7 v. NC State UL -33 v. Missouri St Temple +1 v. Maryland USF - 3.5 @ Nevada RU -39 v. Howard SU +27 v. USC Week one the BE should go 6-1 (unless SU can handle their own v. NW, maybe they'll get another phantom PAT mis-call for the win.) Week 2 OOC could be anything from 5-1 to 2-4. SU is a loss to USC, but Temple, USF and UConn could go either way.
Louisville is -14 now against UK and still getting the majority of money. UConn is 24.5 or 25 everywhere I see. Rutgers is -17.5 down from -19. Odd seeing Syracuse favored. BCU is -1 now. It's odd to see Boise +7 against Mich State. The first week schedule is excellent. Saturday from 9am to Sunday at 2 am. That is a great day.
Anyone have a clue as to why MD is favored against Temple? Given what happened last year in that game and what was lost in the offseason, I would have gone with Temple...
I don't think that's a real line. It's from a projection that Beyond the Bets did projecting the lines of every game of the season a few months ago.
Cuse not favored, they're getting points. Some of the lines aren't Vegas' driven. Vegasinsider.com wasn't listing every game so I pulled some off of 'beyondthebets' which is marginally close. Those spreads were what I saw earlier, more for discussion than the official lines.
