Kangaroo Craig Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 I picked up a USA today, turned to the sports section, and found Danny Sheridan's odds for the opening weekend of college football. They are as follows:PENN STATE (-16) vs. AkronNorthwestern (-3) vs. MIAMI (Ohio)Boston College (-13) vs. CENTRAL MICHIGANBUFFALO (-6.5) vs. TempleMinnesota (-16.5) vs. Can'tIOWA STATE (-7.5) vs. ToledoOHIO STATE (-19) vs. Northern IllinoisWisconsin (-10) vs. BOWLING GREEN (At Cleveland Browns Stadium)INDIANA (-3) vs. Western Michiganand, our Home opening opponent:TEXAS (-41) vs. North Texasthoughts ---1. We are certainly getting more respect from the national media and Las Vegas than in years past and deservingly so. Tempting to take Akron and the points, but I would say that this is a pretty fair line either way. If I were picking that game, I would probably say that we loose by 17. 2. Take Minnesota and give the points.3. Take Northern Illinois and the points4. Can Temple get any worse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbyake Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 i'd take Toledo and the points also. I think Toledo is either going to win or lose by 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachTheZip Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 If I were in Vegas right now, I would take:Akron -- no brainerNorthwestern -- will suprise everyone and blow Miami awayBoston College -- just because I canBuffalo -- Temple must REALLY be badMinnesota -- Toledo -- they underestimate the MAC on this oneNorthern Illinois -- Wolfe will tear apart that new OSU defense, but NIU will still loseWisconsin -- looks like a fair betWestern Michigan -- I'm tempted to think WMU will win this one.Akron will have a fun time and a much needed break at the Rubber Bowl against North Texas.Go Zips!
