Two matchups left me scratching my head and licking my chops:

Alabama -12/ Michigan

Penn State -6/ Ohio

I bet the dogs.

Somebody tell me why I'm wrong.

Well, I can't say you're wrong, but.......

Penn St. opened -7, so you missed a key number there.
6 points may be enough for you, though.

Bigger problems with your +12.
That number is climbing, and will likely hit 14.

Good luck!

This line actually opened up at -15.5 for Penn State when it first came out in July and was at -10 early August. Massive line move here.

You're telling me you could actually get a bet down in July?

Where?

Lots of vegas casinos and some online sportsbooks do college games of the year lines as early as June. One that I saw was from the Golden Nugget and they had lines for over 100 college FB lines made available to the public to wager on.

There isn't a bigger wolverine fan on this board but I wouldn't touch that game with my worst enemies money... The Wolverines offense is far too inconsistent and the Tides defense too good to have any certainty of that outcome.

Boise State being a 7 point dog to MSU seems much more attractive.

Also, what is the status of Michigan's RB Toussaint for the Bama game?

Don't know.

He isn't suspended but he isn't clear to play either. I don't think he factors in the game anyway. DRob freaking is the only chance Michigan has.
