Rest of CFB & some NFL

Starting all of these as 2$ selections, but may upsize based on how earlier selections work out. Everyone is calling for an upset of BC by ND, but I just don't see it. BC(-13) 37 ND 13 [2$]... UGA gets an easy road match-up @ Vandy UGA(-7) 28 Vandy 3 [2$]... Elite SEC team goes to lowly ACC team. Looks like the oddsmakers bought into what they saw 1st half last week from NC, I don't So. Car. (-7)33 NC 9 [2$]... SEC as a whole is a bit more tightly packed than this line suggests. KY had a couple of extra days to lick their wounds and prepare, LSU has earned its #1 ranking, but has only played 1 road game & it was against a weak Miss. St. team. This will be different. LSU 28 KY(+10) 27 [2$]... I really don't get these big spreads ASU is laying to Pac-10 opponents, this is just not a top-15 team. Wash(+11) 26 ASU 24 [2$]. Using a couple of the above teams in an exotic with some NFL teams for a 4-team ML parlay, PHI is strong off the bye, you have the stories on the rest of the games in this post, UGA/SC/PHI/NE (2.5$ to win 7.18$)... NE is still showing @ -4 on one book I use, but others have already migrated upwards to -5.5 and will likely move to -6+ by kickoff. Belichick has something special for Romo, Dallas has not beaten anyone and the AFC is far superior to the NFC. Add in some bulletin board fodder from Wade Phillips(hasn't everyone learned not to battle the Pats in the press?) and we have the makings of a statement game blowout. NE(-4)33 DAL 14 [5$].
