With the start of high school sports this week, I am running behind, so this post will be rolled out in phases today, starting with the noon game.
After a 1-4 start Thursday, my ratings went 6-2 ATS on the Friday slate. I had only one actual bet last night, Wisconsin -10.5. They won by 49 in the Jonathan Taylor Heisman campaign launch.

Of the early slate, I took Toledo +12. It has since moved to 10.5, however. I also have Miss St -18.5 in a neutral site game
The next slate…

Nothing real strong here. I lean Northwestern, I lean North Carolina (that line opened at 9.5 and has moved to 12). Texas is a team I might be fading this year as well. I took Duke on the show this week, hoping for a back door cover, but have not pulled the trigger just yet. I was hoping for late Alabama public money.

| New Mexico St | 50.86 | Washington St | 21.42 | 2.94 | -32.38 | -33.5 |
| Fresno St | 28.93 | USC | 20.92 | 2.73 | -10.74 | -14 |
| Houston | 31.99 | Oklahoma | 9.44 | 3.82 | -26.37 | -23 |
| Notre Dame | 13.55 | Louisville | 34.45 | 1.44 | 19.46 | 17.5 |
Louisville was +20, and I liked them at that number, but might be backing Notre Dame -17.5 now after a significant line move. I also lean Oklahoma to cover here, although I want to see Houston QB D’Eriq King ball out here in a big game for him. Dude reminds me of Antwan Randle El.
