Yep. I like that last list. There will already be a nice spread within the group after the first week. BTW, I'm in.
The only one I would really question would be LSU-Appy State. That will likely be a blowout. As a matter of fact, Vegas is not even offering odds on it. SMU-Rice or Temple-Army games would be better picks.
Let me offer a suggestion on the LSU games. Just include the games against SEC opponents. As far as the number of games each week doesn't make any difference to me. If you think there are only 10 "good" games go with 10, if there are 11, go with 11, but I wouldn't exceed 12. Since I'm going to win, no matter the number, it's a moot point anyway. :wave:
That would have excluded the LSU-VT game last year. Like I said, the spread is the most important factor in deciding what games to highlight. You want to try to limit the choices to good, close games.
i completely understand now. you guys are 100% about the spread. that's how we'll play it. each week, i'll choose the lowest spreads vegas has to offer. guidelines will be posted in this thread soon. week 1 games will get their own thread when the time comes.
