Appreciate your input.
I do expect Tamu to improve and play well in their opener at home against a much more inexperienced team changing up their system. Players recruited to play in one system having to play in a vastly different one.
As for week 1 Chalk, I would rather lay 14 points than 7. Look at last year in week 1 where teams giving 13+ points went 14-2 ATS while teams giving 1 to 13 points went 6-7 ATS and lost 7 SU.
Most people I suspect are looking for a blowout however I feel
good with -14.
Anytime a team is returning a bunch of starters from the year before this bodes well especially for an opening game..
Not saying you're wrong either, but can you tell me why you would trust your money on A&M?
A&M might be in their 2nd year with Sherman, but they have 3 freshman WR's, an inexperienced LB unit, Tannehill will be on the sidelines holding a clipboard, and they don't have a good idea of how to plan for the Lobo's because they (the Lobos) are running all sorts of new schemes. Sherman didn't sound too confident in his press conference earlier this week, and I don't trust A&M to cover 2 td's. It is a tough call to trust either of these teams to be honest.

Is this just a statement? Yes there are 3 freshman WR's on the roster. I think you are forgetting about Jeff Fuller who is one of the top WR's in the conference. Also, you can't forget about McCoy who has logged serious minutes in the past. Plus, Tannehill will be playing some on third downs so they get a lot of his experience back as well.

You are exactly right about this, they are inexperienced, but they will be much improved over last season.
Again, thanks for pointing that stuff out, unlike 98% of the people on here, I don't mind getting called out when I post incorrect or misleading information.
