Some early lines have been released

Syracuse just got better...

Hope all these new SEC coaches work out.

Duke the year after, Alabama isn't losing a regular season game until 2020 at the earliest

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

They play TCU at Jerry World which should be awesome. I'd have to double check but I thought I saw Tulane as their other OOC game.

Even Tulane might be quite ok, they got a good coach establishing a pistol option offense down there. That's a tough offense to prepare for. Ohio State's talent will still overwhelm them but Tulane could compete for a half

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

Yeah. Speaking of the secondary they lost a starting corner and a safety. They lost 10 offensive starters too. Ouch. I hear the Robinson kid could be pretty studly and an upgrade from Hill though.

I'm hoping for a good game but they could get thumped too I suppose. Patterson though man. The dude can flat out coach.

Patterson vs Meyer is a fun coaching battle. If only TCU had a team like their 2014 team. Patterson will definitely have some good ideas to keep TCU in it but Ohio State might ultimately win unless TCU is really surprisingly good

 

[Chewbaccer]

Ohio State tends to play teams closer than expected in the opener. They obviously win easy, but if that line stays at 31, I might bet on Oregon State to cover.

 

[WizardHawk]

Their new HC was Washington's OC, so they're going to be elite obvi

Most of us were willing to drive him down there to see him leave.

Trust me, just have your coaches watch any game film and write down the 4-5 plays they run and then watch a less talented team try to run them.

Gun b uglyz

It’s so hard to win all your games, even when you are Alabama. And if they do that, it will be the only time they’ve done it with the exception of nine years ago.

5Dimes was the first to put them out.

2018 opening weekend lines of note:

Louisville vs. Alabama (-29.5) Spread is too high. Bama won't win by more than 21; maybe as little as 14.
Washington vs. Auburn (-4) Somewhat of a toss-up. Malzahn isn't great in early-season games. Could go either way.
Oregon State at Ohio State (-31) Urban does like to run up the score when he can, but the Eyes might only win by 30.
San Diego State at Stanford (-15) I'm not sure what the Aztecs have coming back this year, but it's doubtful Stanford wins by more than 6. San Diego St. could win outright.
Boise State at Troy (+8) Troy loses a 4-year starter at QB, so the Trojans will be at a disadvantage. I think Boise wins by 6, but the Trojans could pull an upset.
FAU at Oklahoma (-21) Even without Baker Mayfield, the Sooners superior depth should overwhelm the Owls; but if this turns into a shootout, FAU could pull an upset.
Michigan at Notre Dame (-2) Both teams can be underwhelming at times. I rate it a toss-up.
Miami vs. LSU (+1)

If Les Miles were still the coach, I'd favor LSU. I still haven't got a feel for Orgeron. Another toss-up.

At 1 point it’s essentially a toss up.
