A well respected website, collegefootballpoll.com also known as congrove computer rankings lists BG as the 65th best team, and lists them as 9 point underdogs to Wisconsin for the season opener. Last year the site was 55% against the spread in all games, so dont be afraid to use it if you are a gambling man like myself!

65th in the nation and 9 pt dogs to Wisky? Sounds about dead on to me. BG, at this point, shouldn't be higher than 60 or so. As far as the line, does that include info that Stacco, more than likely, will not play?

GO FALCONS!!!

Usually it lists if a key player is out for any team. I would say that prediction is with Stocco playing. Remember its not a REAL spread it just creates its own prediction. Therefore if the Vegas odds are BG as 14pt underdog, then CCR's pick is BG and the points and thats how it counts its wins and losses. It did that for every single college football game last year and came out at 55%. Thats damn good because it should be 50/50 with that many games being played. I think BG has a chance to stick within 9, and I also think 65th is much more realistic than 103rd or whatever, especially considering our schedule!

As stated in a previous thread, I'll be surprised if BG isn't at least a two-TD dog by game time.

Yeah I think the Vegas line will be around that too. But my point was that this is a seperate entity designed to help people pick teams for and against the spread. So unless something colossal happens the spread on this site will remain at 9 no matter what. Because its not really a spread its a prediction. For example its like it saying Wisconsin 37 and BG 28 and it wont move from that, no matter who starts betting on what. Same with all the other D1 games that it predicts every single week, and it upgrades its ranking of each team after every single game each week!

This is what it predicts for BG's season, while finishing 2nd in the MAC East
