Gambling Lines 2019: Week 2

What an opening week. Who would have bet that Liberty, Duke, and Liberty would all keep it close...for a half? Who thought Tennessee would drop one to Georgia-mother-flipping-State? Not this guy, that's for sure. I took the under on Florida/Miami and Southern Alabama +35. So that was nice. Unfortunately, I also took the Hokies (-4.5) and decided to parlay all the heavily favored teams in that gem above. PSA: don't bet, kids.

Anyway, on to this week's lines.

Some thoughts:

• Hokies (-29): I know we all want to see Tech hang 60 on the monarchs and blank them to boot, but is anyone really that confident we can do that? In our heyday, Vegas spots ODU 40, but even they aren't super confident. I'm not touching this at all. As it is, I'm still pissed at Willis for turning a blowout win into a 7 point loss last week and losing money on it only makes it worse.
• Syracuse (-2.5): Liberty threw everything they had at Syracuse... and got shut out to the tune of 24-0. I know baby face Jackson lit up Howard...but it's Howard. I think Syracuse got a better tune up game than UMd and reality comes crashing down on the terps. I'm taking Syracuse on this one.
• UT (-3): I think our neighbors to the southwest are in for another year of hilarious losses capped by dropping one to the best SEC team in the state, Vanderbilt. Until proven otherwise, my money is against the fighting traffic cones. Go Mormans Cougars.
• anOSU (-17): Justin Fields looked great last week. I think anOSU really upgraded by sending Tathan packing. That said, Cincinnati is really looking to make some noise with it's OOC games this year. I'm not saying anOSU loses, but I think Cinci keeps it close enough.
• Bama (-54): New Mexico State. At Alabama. The scoreboard will be flipping faster that Clark Griswold's power meter. I think Bama covers.

As always, please do not take my ramblings as legitimate gambling advice. You will lose your shirt and anything else you're foolish enough to bet based on my idiocy. Lines may change over the course of the week.
I also may have made errors copying them. Always triple check when money is at stake. TKP does not encourage gambling and even if it did, I am neither employed nor sanctioned by Orange and Maroon Media, LLC so who cares.
