Anyone have any week one locks they are looking to share with fellow holers?

Many months ago I took LSU -4 against UCLA. Line has since moved to -3, so that’s not looking so great.

I kind of like Iowa -1.5 in the first half too, if for no other reason than it is Iowa and Indiana.
 




I like Michigan -17.0 against Western Michigan and Northwestern -3.0 against Michigan State
 








I'm all about the Over for Minnesota / Ohio State.

Auburn -36.5 over Akron. Akron is truly awful (1-17 last 2 seasons) and may not score a point.
 

Fordham. Moneyline
Clearly will be an interesting game. Forham will be loose, Nebraska tight. Also saw a (Nebraska) N sticker on a car today with the word Elite below it. I thought they weren't into words/slogans etc.?

If there was a line on that game, and if I were a betting man, I'd hammer Nebraska to cover.

Their defense will hold Fordham to about 3 points.
Martinez alone will have 3 rushing TD's.

A team is never as bad as you think they are after their first loss.
Nebraska will be up by 21 before there is five minutes gone in the 2nd half.

I’d sure hope so. Is Fordham even scholarship football?

LSU -3 is unbelievably safe
 

Tulane will beat the line on OK (Oklahoma -27.5). The Sooners could easily beat Tulane by more than 28, I just don't see them running up the score on a Tulane team though that's gotten beat down by Hurrican Ida.

Musta been a rusty 70's Pinto?
 

All the contradictory posts in this thread are why Vegas has huge casinos lol!

I got no locks for you, but I bet the following:
MSU M/L over NW
Indiana to cover +5 against Iowa
Parlay Gophers to cover +13.5 plus the under
Army to cover +2 against Georgia St
 

Well, here's a "football" lock, tonight's US Men's World Cup Qualifier soccer game against El Salvador. Pick the US to win and go for the over on goals.

Team USA is the -200 favorite on the 90-minute money line. The over-under for total goals is 2.5.
 



It looks like you can get Fordham at +23000. That payout would be the perfect cherry on top of the Nebraska schadenfreude sundae.
At 230:1 almost any matchup is a solid bet. Good candidate to use one of those $10 free bets on.

Remember that a better Nebraska team almost lost to McNeese State a few years back.

Sooners 40 - Greenwave 35. Kudos to the Wave. They really had a chance to win this. The Wave way outplayed OK in the 2nd half. The first half ended with OK up 37-14. Tulane had the ball and driving with 2 minutes left in the game but came up just short on a 4th down play.
