Let downs and bounce backs

What a week that was.....so much so that it leaves quite a few interesting games and spots for the week to come. Figured I would lay them out in one thread and get other's thoughts, but here is my take fwiw...for ease purposes I just copied it in as possible bet entry so it would bring them up in one screen, these would be my "leans" so disregard the juice as these are sides based on the current numbers that show at the time of post.
STRAIGHT BET Oct 11 CFB [112] OKLAHOMA -14½-110
Rivalry game yes, but believe this won't be close as Sooners get back on the wagon vs. an offensively challenged Texas squad
STRAIGHT BET Oct 11 CFB [114] PURDUE +23-110
Nice win for Sparty vs. the Huskers but a lot of points on the road to lay to a Boilermaker team that can stay within an attainable backdoor number against a team that will be happy to just leave with a conference road win
STRAIGHT BET Oct 11 CFB [116] MINNESOTA U -3-105
Nice win for the Wildcats vs. the Badgers, now that they have the attention let down spot here IMO
STRAIGHT BET Oct 11 CFB [148] BAYLOR -10-110
Baylor took care of business in their look ahead spot, TCU did as well but tough task emotionally to get up for this one...look for Baylor to make a statement game on this one
STRAIGHT BET Oct 11 CFB [153] AUBURN -3-105
The elite team of the SEC comes through as Auburn is a whole different animal than what TAM was
STRAIGHT BET Oct 11 CFB [159] ALABAMA -9½-110
Will look for 'Bama to bounce back vs. Hogs....Saban said they had some work to do this week lol
STRAIGHT BET Oct 11 CFB [165] OREGON -3-110
two teams that are reeling after tough losses, don't think the Bruins D will be able to get them the cover
STRAIGHT BET Oct 11 CFB [168] ARIZONA U +2½-110
Normally you would think this is the spot for the Trojans, but I believe this AZ team is for real as (Bishop Gorman's) Anu's confidence is growing after a tough venue road win...should be a real close one so like this one the least out of all situations
STRAIGHT BET Oct 11 CFB [176] NOTRE DAME -16½-105
Irish should roll in this as Tarheels have absolutely no defense....big number day for Golson
STRAIGHT BET Oct 11 CFB [188] TEXAS A&M -3-105
Aggies back at home and Ole Miss coming off a historic program win...will lean with the Aggie's here
STRAIGHT BET Oct 11 CFB [192] SOUTH FLORIDA +14-105
S Fla may get the outright win here, they have a ground game and their D was efficient enough vs. a Terrapin squad that offensively is similar to the Pirates, the Pirates D is suspect as the lowly Mustangs showed this past week.
Those are my takes, open for some of the conference followers opinions if concur or disagree and why, have a great week all!

I forgot, the Irish also beat Syracuse.
Good talking to you REB
Could you elaborate on what you mean by "trap"?
LOL, I've been waiting for you because I'm curious also.
Kahuna, please stop popping into every thread Dr. H posts in just to start your nonsense.
Dr. H, I know it's not in your nature, but please just ignore him or report his posts.
I'm beyond tired of dealing with this.
That reminds me, hey Goats, Contrarian says hi
I say this because I respect you but as time continues to pass you're acting more and more like the Jeff you were prior to the name change. Quit feeding into the BS and post positive/informational stuff. Your knowledge can be beneficial to many.
Lol, ironic on so many counts. Going upstate this weekend to take my kid pumpkin and apple picking, I think somewhere around Warwick? Near exit 17 on the thruway, that much I know. And I know all to well about turning stone, started going when I was 18 up at college in Albany. Idk if they serve alcohol, but it was a great way to kill a Wednesday night, only about 80 minutes from school and they sold cheap cigarettes.
Now that we got all the romper room (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romper_Room go down to a typical episode section and you'll understand especially with Goats having to play Mr. Don'tbee) stuff out of the way....lets look at where some of the previous lines have gone to and does the line value make you rethink what you were liking or just reinforce your convictions? I will highlight the biggest changes:
STRAIGHT BET Oct 11 CFB [112] OKLAHOMA -14½-110
STRAIGHT BET Oct 11 CFB [114] PURDUE +20½-110 (almost tempting to take the other side after dropping under 3TD's)
STRAIGHT BET Oct 11 CFB [116] MINNESOTA U -4-115
STRAIGHT BET Oct 11 CFB [148] BAYLOR -7½-110 (market really disagrees with the original line on this one Okie)
STRAIGHT BET Oct 11 CFB [153] AUBURN -3-105
STRAIGHT BET Oct 11 CFB [159] ALABAMA -10-110
STRAIGHT BET Oct 11 CFB [165] OREGON -1½-115 (market agrees with your assessment Helmut, so now a "bear trap" instead of a "mouse trap"?
STRAIGHT BET Oct 11 CFB [168] ARIZONA U +2½-105
STRAIGHT BET Oct 11 CFB [176] NOTRE DAME -17-110
STRAIGHT BET Oct 11 CFB [188] TEXAS A&M -2-110 (kane, if you liked it before you must love it now right? or does the move make you rethink? )
STRAIGHT BET Oct 11 CFB [192] SOUTH FLORIDA +15-105
same idea goes for the lower ranked team A&M (13th) being favored over Ole Miss (3rd)
It looks like Dr Bob was responsible for the move on Miss. Sorry OT, I don't keep track of that angle. Years ago I used to play that angle in college hoops, but I stopped doing that. That USC line is a bit of a head scratcher though.
No sorry that's not the same.
Good Match-ups this week. LSU road Favorite over Florida?????
How about Auburn,Alabama, A&M,TCU and maybe an SB Fav ULM have to wait for the man on that one.
I'm on Monroe, I hope he agrees with me
