Arkansas (+18.5) v Georgia: The Hogs will definitely lose, but I like their chances to keep it close-ish.
Tennessee (+3) v Mizzou: Feel bad about Missouri, can't put my finger on it
Old Mist (+14.5) v Alabama: It would be funny if someone who never watched football watched the Arky-Uga game and then this one back-to-back.
Troy (+7) v South Carolina: I like Troy's chances to win outright.
Florida (-8) v Kentucky: Florida seems like they're firing on all of the proverbial cylinders, probably guarantees a letdown.
Mississippi St. v TAMU (-7): TAMU will be mad
UConn (+14.5) v Vanderbilt: two of the worst teams in America, no telling what will happen.
Auburn (+3.5) v LSU: real sicko stuff here

Auburn (+150) v LSU (-3.5, -175) (T:55.5)
These matchups - much like Jake from State Farm - sound hideous.
LSU -2.5 This is the only where I have even a smidge of confidence.
Vanderbilt +35 Remember when gameday went to Vanderbilt and then Alabama beat them by one hundred points
Mizzou -2 Boston College is one of only five IA programs without "University" in it's official name. However, it's the only one with the word "Boston" in it's official name. Every team is a unique and special snowflake and I have had it up to here with the no-university-in-the-name-shaming.
Arkansas +5.5 I hope they wear those uniforms from a few years ago that I liked. They won't.
Auburn -27 Coming off a tough loss and looking ahead to LSU, I really expect Auburn to come out laser-focused. Not. What am I doing
Tennessee +20 The only Ten-I-See? Remember to put a joke here before you post, idiot. Don't just leave this in there like a rube. I don't know, maybe something like "the ten minutes that this game will be interesting!" or "the ten beers I will drink during this game!" Just something lighthearted like that; Charles will like it. I hope! Well, anyway just make sure you erase all this.
South Carolina +5 This game, despite happening every year, has left no cultural impact. It's like Avatar.
Alabama -45 Throw out the records. It's rivalry time, baby.

1. {v}600.00 on Auburn (oh my god what am i doing) at -6000 to win {v}10.00.

3. {v}2.00 on South Carolina at +180 to win {v}3.60.
4. {v}5.00 on Tennessee at +800 to win {v}40.00.
LSU at Mississississippi State (+2.5): This is going to be a fun game to watch this week.
Georgia (-35) at Waaa-nderbilt: Gross
Missouri (-2) at BC: A baffling game, why is this
TAMU (-5.5) at Arky: My head says yes, but my heart says I hate both of these teams.
Georgia State (+27) at Auburn: eh
Tennessee (+20) at Florida: Tennessee's recent mediocrity really drives home the importance of coaching.
Kentucky (-5) at South Carolina: Looks like I'm mostly picking road games, seems fine
Southern Miss (+45) at Alabama: In a big rivalry game like this, you can throw out the records

South Carolina (pick 'em) at East Carolina: Not this one though. South Carolina should win. I don't bet on games with Pirates, though.
Florida (-28) at South Florida: Man I don't know.
UAB (+24.5) at Georgia: I BELIEVE that this is a very funny total.
TAMU at Colorado (+17): Oooh extremely tricky. I am saying that wacky Rocky Mountain elevation creates some weirdness. This is probably my least confident pick because I actually looked at it and convinced myself I was wrong either way. No way I'd bet on this.
Texas (-6.5) at Arkansas: Almost ready to make this my Lock of the Week.
North Carolina State (-2.5) at Missississississippi State: I wonder if Leach will make it long enough to get His Guys in.
Missouri at Kentucky (-5): I don't think Missouri is very good.
Vanderbilt (+7) at Colorado State: Yikes!!

A winner is you: {v}1,075
And also with you: {v}1,216.67
It's good to be back, for the last football season ever. Auburn has a Big Dumb Meathead coach who is converting all our boys to Scientology, Alabama is the best team of all time, and if Alabama loses it will probably be because Georgia wins the national title. I hope the Yellowstone Caldera explodes.
Bowling Green (+35.5) v Tennessee: Sure
UL Monroe (-31) v Kentucky: Sure
Rice v Arkansas (-19.5): Piggies
Miami v Alabama (-19.5): I'd have taken Alabama to cover at -27.
LA Tech (+23.5) v Mississippi St.: Lot of these early lines seem high to me.
Central Michigan v Missouri (-13.5): Who cares
Akon (+37) v Auburn: I'd be excited to be wrong but think this will be a gruesome grind, 31-7 or something awful like that.
Georgia v Clemson (-3): Georgia has more talent, but I think Dabo is a better coach.
Florida Atlantic v Florida Classic (-23.5): Eff, aye you!
Kent Read v TAMU (-28.5): This and my Florida pick are based on these coaches both being kind of dicks who will run up the score. No idea if this is correct in history.
LSU (-3) v UCLA: I don't know a lot of things, but one thing I know is that this shouldn't be called the acronym bowl and certainly not AB
Louisville v Old Mist (-10.5): I don't know. This seems wrong already.

I'm betting {v}110 on Bowling Green covering (+35.5) against Tennessee, to win {v}100

By popular demand...
It's called a pick off because if I could pick, I would tell it to piss off. Also, if any of these lines look weird, it's because I wasn't very careful in gathering them or typing them into this awful website. The uncertainty is part of the fun.
The first game is Thursday, so I guess let's get em done by Thursday at 5 pm.

Akon (+10000) v Auburn (-37)(-30000) (T:55) Without looking at the matchups, it's weird that Auburn would be biggest favorite this week. But I guess Akron is very bad.

Kent Read Kent Write Kent State (+2875) v TAMU (-28.5)(-6500) (T:67.5)
LSU (-3)(-160) v UCLA (+140) (T:65.5) this should be called the acronym bowl, or the AB. It could be presented by AFLAC. Or NAMBLA.
