Home vs g5

That is a very lazy explanation

 

[Hu War Yu]

I'd go with Fresno over Purdue, as well.

My other pick would be Georgia Tech over Louisville

Which one is favored?

 

[osubuckeye89]

Toledo over Illinois (-9)
South Alabama over Tulane (-6.5)

 

[Boise4Life]

That is a very lazy explanation

Fresno lost their stud QB, RB, and all their stud WRs so they are rebuilding around the offensive skill positions.

They also brought in several solid pieces in the portal to supplement the offense, so I don't think that's going to be that big a deal. Purdue also lost basically their entire team to either the draft or the portal and they're breaking in a brand new head coach.

Which one is favored?

They are both underdogs

Good G5 vs bad P5? Not a good one at all. We've seen plenty of high-end G5's beat low-end P5's over the years.

This is true, but it's still a home P5 vs a G5. Never underestimate the goings on with Vegas betting lines.
Home P5 vs a road G5? Yeah, let's make the P5 the fav. And the betting public seems to agree.

Fair points for sure. And Jeff Tedford’s a hell of a coach. They are a solid team. Handled my squad pretty good in the conference championship game last year and did it on the road. I definitely have respect for them.

The 3.5 spread seems about right to me. Maybe it could be a little lower. If I had to bet it I’d take Fresno.

 

[Inquisitor]

South Carolina over North Carolina
Northwestern over Rutgers

 

[osubuckeye89]

I actually think Cal will be improved this year. North Texas is a trendy upset pick but I think Cal wins and covers
