game has moved from opening at 11 1/2 to 14. I'm still just an observer. Frankly, it isn't the points, as if this one was 22 I would feel the same way. I think it's either an upset, close, or a blowout (wow, I'm brave), but I have no idea which one.

The line in the Arkansas-Florida game has gone from UF-22 to UF-24 1/2. I'm not touching it, but I will add that Arkansas stinks. I don't want to be on the wrong end of it when Bobby Petrino's kids start to get his system.

The Ohio-Western Michigan game has gone from WMU -4 to WMU -7. This is the type of game where either one of the big pickers who charge made this his "give away free" pick this week, or someone really knows something. Either way, I'm still sitting out, but a near doubling of the line is pretty eye opening.

The Kentucky-Alabama line has gone from UK +16 1/2 to UK +15. I gave my UK pick early and often because I figured the sharps would be pounding a three-score line in this one faster than Dean Martin used to pound Gin and Tonics. This probably goes even lower.

The line in the Navy-Air Force game has gone from Air Force -6 to Air Force -4 1/2. Can this be ripples from the Navy-Wake game last week? I don't care. I'm on the Falcons, so less is more as far as I'm concerned. I still like the under 2 1/2 hours including halftime in this one.

The Auburn-Vandy line has gone from Auburn -6 to Auburn -4, I guess people realized that in order to cover a six-point spread, you need to score more than six points. That's a reach for the Tigers this season.

The line in the Arizona-Washington game opened at Arizona -18 and is now at Arizona -24 1/2. Looks like a major Ty Willingham hate fest going on. How many of these bettors are Husky fans?

That's all for today. I'll be around all day watching games if you want to email me or post a comment with any ideas or questions. Let's make it a big day!
