As I did with my NFL early thoughts piece, I thought I'd give you some of my early thoughts for this week's college football action as well. To start, this is going to be a week where we might see a decrease in action from the casual bettor as numerous ranked teams are off this week. The list is quite extensive as all of these teams I'm about to list are undefeated SU this year and taking this week off to recover: Georgia Tech, Oklahoma, Marshall, BYU, Oregon, Arizona, Alabama and Mississippi State. A lot of those teams have big games on deck, including Oregon and Arizona playing one another, so look for action and the lines to move early and often this time next week. As far as this week's games go, there are still a few big games between some very good teams and to no one's surprise one of those is the Florida State/NC State game.  Florida State opened up as 23-point favorites but have since been bet down to -19 after they squeaked out an OT win on national television last week. However, unless I find some more conflicting info in the coming days, I don't agree with this move at all. Barring another stupid decision from Jameis Winston to keep him off the field, I expect the Seminoles to show up in full force this week and put a beating on this Wolfpack team. If this spread continues to drop, don't be surprised to see me have a write up on the Seminoles later this week. Other early leans I have this week as lines are starting to shift around are Stanford -7.5, Miami -7, and Oregon State +9 Miami [...]

We've got another full slate of college football action on our hands on Saturday as I've spent the better part of the week going through all the games searching for the best plays to give to you guys. We've got a couple of huge rivalry games this week (Florida/Alabama), but with so many games and lines likely to move all over the place Saturday morning, I thought it would be best to get this play out to you all early so you can get the best of the number. All lines taken from Pinnacle Sports with bet amounts 'to win' on favorites and flat on underdogs UPDATED: Due to Winston being out for the entire game now, this is officially not a play Play of the Day in Bold Free Play Records MLB Pre All Star Break: 101-107-13 (+$691) MLB post All Star Break: 43-42 (+$2059) CFL YTD: 6-8 (-$266) NCAAF YTD: 8-5 ATS (+$529) pending NFL YTD: 3-4 ATS (-$333) NCAAF plays Florida State -14.5 (-106) $318 to win $300 We all know about Jameis Winston being out for the 1st half of this game for disciplinary reasons,  but do you really believe he is worth about 6 points to this line? Florida State is the deepest team across the board in the country and while they may be without their Heisman Trophy winner for the first 30 minutes, Winston's teammates will be determined to pick him up. Clemson is a decent team, but they were smoked 51-14 by the Seminoles last year and it would have been 51-7 had Clemson not punched a late TD in during the final minutes. With the Winston news everyone and their mothers have come in taking the points with Clemson [...]
